To be honest this game is definitely not for everyone. If you would like to get into this game you have to spend a lot of time raising your understanding. The reason why I recommend it though is because it is actually a decent game. Probably 80% of beginners will stop playing before they get past black belt just because they feel very restrained by what they can do. In some ways this is true, but the limit to what you can do is many, many times greater than what people (beginners) think. Watching the Tori Legends as you first open the game can make you feel discouraged as you can’t even do a flip properly. It can takes YEARS in some cases to polish your skills to that level, and even then you may still not be able to do as good as you hoped because this game really depends on the mindset of the player. The physics of this game are difficult to understand and get use to. At moments you feel that you’re flying way to high to do your tricking/sparring or that your body just got 20x heavier and stopped half way through a flip. You need to understand every little effect that each joint does. People (beginners) really underestimate most of the joints just because they are not skilled/experienced enough to use them properly. This is what changes the effect of your physics and understanding of situations. Suddenly your flips and and hand spring landings are getting smoother, faster, and lower to the ground. Your vision of how you see your joints and shadow are completely overhauled. Your arsenal of moves are multiplied to an unimaginable number. You see improved and more efficient ways of overcoming a landing or counter that didn’t seem possible when you first started. Eventually you steadily become a pro at visualizing foreshadows, predictions, and problem solving. You never really realize how much you improve because it almost always felt with you.

Let me get right to the point and say I love this game. When I first started out about a year ago I felt like a toddler learning to walk, and I admit, it was a bit frustrating. Then I turned to Youtube. I learned a few basic aikido and judo (two different mods/game modes in the game) opening moves and from there my results sky-rocketted. I was flooring noobs left and right until I got to the intermediate level where (most) every player had a rudimentary understanding of how to move in the game then it was fairly evenly matched and I quickly got over myself.

Bad Apples
Bad Apples is a multiplayer survival action game featuring fruits that ripen over time. You can play online against up to 4 players.
As the fruits ripen and their gauge rises, their status (speed, attack, defense, etc.) changes. You can speed up the ripening speed of your opponent by shooting gas from you at them. If it is too ripe, it will rot, but the strength of the gas you release will increase.
Use items, attacks, and special moves at the right time to defeat the other fruits and survive! (Who’s the strongest bad fruit?)

Become a Gladiator VR : 1v1 PVP
You wake up in the middle of the Colosseum with no memory. You start your struggle to survive in the Colosseum without knowing who you are and where slaughtering is just entertainment. In the middle of the Colosseum, all you can rely on is your weapons, shields and skills. It’s up to you whether you’re going to be a Gladiator that cuts off the heads of countless enemies, or you’re going to be one of the thousands of bodies that can’t be recorded anywhere in the history books.
“Become A Gladiator VR” is not a perfect physical simulation game containing real-world like interactions. This is a PVP specialized VR action game that prioritizes action itself rather than focusing on historical research. It is designed to allow players to feel and learn when and how to swing swords and shields, which is temporarily impossible to control or immobilize due to collisions between weapons and shields.
Due to the characteristics of the game, players may have to move around a lot, so please refer to the precautions below.
-
2x2m space is required due to possible injury or real damage to property.
-
Due to the above reasons, free movement is not supported, so it is recommended gamers use a stick to move the characters in the center of the VR area.
-
Sufficient stretching is required before playing to prevent injury.
-
A 10-minute break is recommended after playing the game for between 2 and 30 minutes or more.
Please provide contructive feedback on playing conditions, inconveniences experienced, and balance issues, etc.
Fight Party
Loving this game in the short time I’ve played! I must have said to the two people I was playing with that I’d stop for the night about 10 times. Finally, I had to just force myself to close the game so I could be up for work the next morning.
This is a very fun and engaging party game. At the time I’m posting this, there is a single player Hunger Games style FFA where you face a handful of CPUs, if you can’t or don’t want to play multiplayer. Speaking of the multiplayer, it supports up to 32 players and provides a good number of different maps/biomes to fight to the death on.

This game, despite being simple in concept, is un ironically the most fun I have had with a party game in quite sometime. This isn’t due to a lack of searching either, I own xbox gamepass, I own a switch, both have an amazing selection of party games ranging from Overcooked to Mario Party, that said, this game’s dumb fun value is nothing to scoff at. If you have a group of friends, say 3 or 4, this game is absolutely worth the price of admission if updated beyond its current state. Keep at it Mr. Vibin.

Itadaki Smash
Beat ‘em up - game breaking bug - polish = Showed some promise as a different kind of Final Fight style game, but still needs work. Tried to replay a couple of times and it stalled in different areas.
Dev, please let me know when it is fixed.

This is a first impressions review and I honestly have to be respectful.
1. This has it’s own little charm to it and it reminds me of the side b type cartoon shows on Nicktoons and Disney XD. So as far as looks, it’s okay.
2. There are some configuration issues with the Controller. I really don’t like the idea to play a Beat em up with an analog stick. It just feels so wrong to me and the button setup works but I really don’t know why this strange thing happens with the R2 button where you can pause it.

SPOILER ALERT***
Where do I start? This game is phenomenal.
The GTX 2080 top of the line graphics card, almost isn’t enough to play this game on Epic settings and that’s a pure testament to how incredible this game is. I would recommend the GTX 3090 for best gaming experience.

Urban Street Fighter
This game has changed my life forever, I don’t think I could have made it through covid without this, I have about 350 hours on my alt account and am considered to be the best in the North American region, so you know you can trust me on this. The gameplay is exquisite and the controls are snappy and responsive. I honestly can’t play many other games after the experience of playing this, the rest of the games on steam just feel obsolete. The characters feel like people you have to know your whole life, it feels so real and immersive and you start to grow a connection with the characters as the story develops. Speaking of the story, it’s about 15 hours long and while ill try to not spoil anything in this review, I got to say the couples in this story are realistic and add some needed romance to this otherwise serious story. Speaking of the serious story, to relive the tone some in this game they added driver for some comedic relief. I like the character, tho he can be a bit much at times even crossing into being annoying sometimes. I think that his jokes mostly fit my comedic style, yet I think that they could have added more jokes for the older generations. The main character is mike and the story follows him as he goes against many formidable foes. I think the choice to make mike a silent protagonist was a brave one, and I think that the decision paid off. I also think that making Ethan a silent villain adds to his mystery and makes his betrayal more emotional as he doesn’t even need words to describe his secret hatred for you and the rest of you’re crew. Finally, I want to speak on the political commentary in this game. The statements on immigration are brave and what we need in this day and age. I also appreciate the message put into the game for young children. The message of “Don’t trust no hoes” is an important one to teach our younglings. In conclusion, this game has great gameplay, amazing controls, characters that feel real, and a story for the ages. 9.6/10 Best game of 2021.

I’m the kind of guy that’ll give every fighting game a shot. Went in with an open mind on this one, but it didn’t quite pan out.
For one thing, there’s no option to change control inputs, which is frustrating especially since one of the default gamepad inputs on 1P overlaps with an input on 2P. Since there’s no training mode, you have to go into versus 2P mode if you wish to lab/try things out, and as you can guess that can make things a chore. Even an option to just disable 2P inputs would’ve helped things a bit.

Hunter’s Arena: Legends
A bit of a hot take.
I’d say I gave this game more than a fair shake. I slogged through it as courtesy to a friend who gifted it to me.
I was lured in by the idea of this being a unique fighting game. The characters look cool, the fighting styles looked saucy, and the battle royale was just extra. When i got into it though, i found every encounter frustrating, win or lose.
My main gripe are the fights themselves, victors are decided by whoever rushes down 1st and simply guesses right. But that’s not all, the way the game tells you to block isn’t the correct way to defend, dodges do nothing, inputs seem to vanish into smoke, and your 1 functional escape skill can be easily activated on accident.

Not sure what the negative reviews are about, Most people dont like to look at things in perspective. This is a new developer and this is their first game being put out, and with that being kept in mind the game is actually very good. but most importantly IT WORKS! I cant tell you how many multi billion dollar companies put out games that are poorly optimized garbage (blizzard).
This game does have its bugs obviously, but most are fairly rare. nothing that cant be patched out as long as people are reporting it. But i REALLY want to emphasize the optimization of the game. I experience zero lag, no rubber banding, no input lag, and no random disconnects. In terms of PvP combat, this game plays better in PvP than any other MMO that has mass PvP or open world PvP. This includes tera (especially tera), BDO, BnS, etc. There IS some quirkyness tho that happens when chasing and tagging a enemy down. Attacks from melee seem to hit when they shouldnt hit, but thats honestly the only weird thing ive noticed thus far and its not anything to rage about considering you can not flee from fights anyway since the opponent will eventually catch up to you through the wind current mechanic.

Override: Mech City Brawl
Okay so, Despite the thumbs up there is a lot more to this.
In its current state I cannot recommend this game, depending on what you want from it.
It succeeds in one key aspect. being a party game. For the purpose of playing offline splitscreen with your mates this game is excellent. Through lack of arbitrary restrictions the combat is surprisingly deep if you decide to properly explore it.
Fundamentally this game is fantastic.
However, when it leaves the realm of split screen this game starts falling flat on almost every aspect.

I’m teetering on recommending this and telling people to flee for their lives until a few updates hit to smooth things over, and that actually punches me in the gut. It’s actually depressing that something that came off as incredibly fun during the beta is leaving me so on edge after release.
To start, the game is just as fun as you’d imagine a giant robot brawler to be. Hits actually feel like hits. When you connect with a charged attack or a nice meaty special, it feels good. The issue here is the hit detection at times. Direct hits will at times just phase through the target with no explanation, and certain moves shift the hitboxes around in the wonkiest ways.
