Knockout City™
I haven’t been this excited about a game in a long time. The game developers did so many things right.
The game play is a ton of fun no matter how you play it - with friends in private matches or going solo in multiplayer. It’s been years since I wanted to go solo in a competitive game. Queuing up by myself has never been something I cared to do until this game. Now I find myself playing for hours with other randos.
The game mechanics simple to learn and there’s so many advanced tactics to discover and master. There are awesome moments in the game when you make good plays and even when you get styled on you can’t help but respect the other players for what they pulled off. Matchmaking feels typical 50/50, but I always feel like I can make an impact which is the biggest difference between other games.

If you’re chilling at Hideout waiting for your ban to lift, do not, and I mean DO NOT think of riding those floating cars above you.
I’ve experienced the same fantasies you did;;::
""" Perhaps if we ride those cars, they would take us to some mystery hidden spot that will unlock some achievement, or better yet, we would have a phenomenal ride around the city! I meann… There is no way the developers would have these periodically spawning cars above us that take us nowhere.. right??? WRONG!!!

Okay I just want to say that you who havent played this gme yet shouldnt be afraid because of the bad comments about this game. It is in an early development stage for North America.
This game is also 10 years old already and just a remake of the old version which was only being played in Asia.
About the bugs - those are true but as i said, the game is pretty fresh for north america and you should let the devs have some time.
the fact that it is just a copy of maplestory, elsword or soul guardian is not really true as i said that the game is really old already.

I’ll write a more in-depth review once I get further into it, but for a first impressions sort of thing:
This game has hilariously bad translations, in the “so bad it’s good” vein. You can still mostly tell what’s going on with the basic story (generic fantasy stuff), but I’m honestly having fun reading the dialogues, just to see all the broken English and try to make sense of it. If you’ve read some Korean manhwa, some of the jokes will make sense, but the (usually silly) humor translates so comically bad sometimes that it’s funny in itself. :)

Treasure Tomb VR
Excellent game - played it two player - one of the best I’ve played - only thing was I tweaked my brightness up a little in my video card as it was hard to see in places - otherwise - superb game
– Real player with 3.8 hrs in game
I believe this game is off to a good start but needs a lot of work. First we need a place to store all the artifacts we find like a back pack since it’s so much like tomb raider. We should have a menu of our items we collect that we have to use in the game. I see a lot of glowing cubes in the game floating around. I so hope for the improvements because it’s a wonderful Start. I would pay more for improvements. I wouldn’t recommend at this point though. but it is very close.

Foglight Online
Great indie game to play with your friends or by yourself. A little rough around the edges, but really fun overall. Playing vs the AI monster is hella hard and makes for some great natural jump scares. I think we ended up doing that more then normal matches! Game looks good, a bit demanding on the specs though, but i got a killer PC so no worries. :-)
– Real player with 7.3 hrs in game
Really enjoyed playing this! If you are only playing by yourself you can use the A.I which is quite well done but enjoyed playing with friends even more!
Achievements are easy to get but the main challenge is to survive if you’re human or kill everything if you are the monster. The A.I is challenging and doesn’t give up which makes for a great game.

ZCREW（Z字特遣队）
I think this is still kind of pre-release, so the final product may be much different… and I really hope it does end up so. It’s very unpolished and the movement/physics are wonky as hell. Does not stack up to Helldivers or other games like that. The knock-down mechanic seems like utter BS and is basically an automatic death sentence.
The game is 50% off right now and, I suppose, I spent more time playing it (~2 hours) than I would have gotten for $5 for most other sources of entertainment, but if you’re looking for anything beyond a “$5 game” then I would look elsewhere unless this really gets polished up before official release.

I don’t know what, but something wrong with this shooter.
You have weapons, you have enemies, but no action, no interesting situations, interesting enemies.
I did run it few times, but maximum - 2 fights and game boring me(
After developer response I tried it once more.
All in all - the same. And found some bugs, like broken mission, character spawned in object after death.
After the mission 10 - not enought ammo on missions. For all classes.
Purple and blue loot dissappered very fast. In a battle no a time for looting, and some major loot dissappeared and it’s sad.

Levi Chronicles
Having been a part of the testing process from some of the first test runs to today, i can say it has been a fun and inspiring experience seeing the game progress to its current form.
The aesthetic of the game fits well with the theme, the puzzles are just the right level of difficulty and we’ve laughed many times frantically trying to work them out during the test runs. I am eager to see how the future of this game’s story pans out and completes.

My friend and I laughed so hard while playing this game that we couldn’t even breathe. If the beta version did this to us, I can’t imagine what will happen if we play the completed version.

I am changing my review because this game made me and my friends feel disappointed about this game. I wanted to play this with two of my friends. First, the game opened in Chinese even though I did not choose it. Second, my friends couldn’t change the language (their language changed into Chinese too) because it always froze in settings. Third, in the remote play that my friend shared, it did not detect my gamepad. Last, I hope developers will fix these bugs. These bugs make the game unplayable with more than two players. Until then, I do not recommend this game.
