MADNESS: Project Nexus
Madness Project Nexus. First of all the obvious. 600+ hours as of writing this you already know I’m going to recommend this game. Here’s why:
Why Reccomend This?
I am one of the original kickstarter backers. I’ve been around since the beginning. So I’ve seen and played this game throughout it’s entire development lifecycle. Throughout it all I’ve seen the game change a lot, from it’s graphical upgrades, to refinement of the mechanics and gameplay design, I’ve played this game through it’s best and worst. And the one thing I can absolutely say is that this is a great game that I’ve had a lot of fun with, and am confident it only gets better from here.

sandford is a massive handsome hunk and i’d smooch on him all day
Jokes aside, I’ll go through the game and what I experienced. I played through Arena mode 2 times and am currently playing as ‘The Massive’, and I’ve beat the base game all on normal, and am yet to play it on tough.
This is my real first review, so i’ll break it into segments. In order, Story, Arena, and Playground. This is the order you SHOULD play the game, or at least in parts.
Story : In the story, you play through a long and grueling journey as Hank and his buds, and you make new friends along the way on your conquest to take down Project Nexus. The story, i binged through and completed in 3 days, but if you take your time, you’ll complete it in a balanced span of time. There are unique, fun to fight factions, many bosses fit for each faction and event, neatly designed levels and segments the game is played through, and many show-casings of scripting, unique weapons, and story building. It’s strong and fun, and satisfying to replay on higher difficulties. The added outfit system to allow you to replay levels with different setups is great fun. Some bits may be found strange or frustrating to fight through, but as me, a medium skill player, I always eventually prevailed. It’s definitely the main focus of the game. I rate it 8.5/10, it satisfied my Madness Combat itch!

Bacon Rebellion
Its worth its price of $4 but it doesn’t try to be worth anything more than that. No extra gamemodes, no multiplayer, no customization options to change gameplay, and no support for modding. This game was supposedly put on the backburner for 7 years and it was just dropped onto Steam with no marketing. Its likely that the developer just wanted this out of development limbo. Adding the fact that there’s only been two small updates in the past few months, its clear that there’s no more plans to add anything to this game any further.

Screencheat
Screencheat is a very challenging FPS where your enemies are invisible and you have to look for them by “screencheating” and find their location by looking for colors and landmarks on their screen.
The game is always played in splitscreen, this way you can “screencheat” and see where your opponents are, That’s the mechanic of the game, there are a lot of gamemodes, weapons, modifiers, levels and it can be played Online and Locally with 4 players, There are also bots in case you have nobody to play with.

tl;dr 5 maps + random map mode, 6 game modes, 8 weapons, up to 4 players, local and/or online, costomisation, you are invisible and must cheat to win.
This game is extreamly fn and fast paced.
you can choose between 6 gamemodes, deathmatch, hillcampers, one shot, murder mystery capture the fun and Party mode. Instead of talking about the facts about being invisible and screencheating i will explain these gamemodes
Deathmatch: your average deathmatch, by default 5 kills to win, fast paced
hillcampers: King of the hill, stay in the area indicated by a box and hold it for 40 seconds (by default) be warned, the areas move and people may spam the area with explosives

Drunken Robot Pornography
When i first started DRP, i was a bit disappointed : i was expecting epic battles against mega robots, and all i was getting was robots seemingly made of cardboard (because they were dying in 15s), or score/checkpoints chasing arenas. Moreover, the controls felt too floaty, especially when on the ground.
But I trust Dejobaan, who have yet to disappoint me with a game. So i kept at it, and boy am i glad i did. What seemed like a small game with 15-20 levels, is actually chock full of robots and the difficulty rises slowly but surely. Soon, i was getting into tense fights with robots that seemingly wouldn’t die despite the huge firepower i was throwing at them.

I really love this game. Now, to be totally fair, I did get this game for free, a good friend of mine gave it to me. I don’t know if I would feel differently if I had paid for it, but as it stands, I really like it.
Stuff I like:
- I like the core gameplay. It’s well made and simplistic. You only get one gun, you can get temporary upgrades so you don’t have to switch, and the jetpack thing is awesome. The controls are tight, movement is accessible, and level and enemy designs are interesting and easy to understand

Smashbox Arena
Teleportation is among the largest complaints in room-scale VR gaming.
Smashbox Arena utilizes teleportation in a way that adds depth to the gameplay. An animated teleport must be tossed to a desired teleport location. Once it lands on a flat surface (it will bounce off of non-flat surfaces), a short animation takes place before teleporting the player.
A player can cancel their teleport at anytime once it is thrown, and enemy players can cancel each other’s teleporters. Many strategies have developed between players using the teleport disc alone. Faking out with teleporters, distracting before shooting, and teleporting onto moving objects.

Was looking for a fun pvp game. Bugged the devs for keys, and have been having a blast. Updating to reflect that all the cons were fixed. GJ devs!
I’ve made some friends in this game who are always playing and it’s a pretty great community!
It’s a fast paced 3v3 dm.
-Catch and block opponents shots
-Grab fun powerups that are fun
-Yell a lot
-Run into things on the edge of your playspace
-Spectate the game from giant mode if you’re eliminated
-Always play 3v3 with bots (who are actually really good)

PiraCrash!
I thought it was a fun idea to do battle in the arena with a friend ;)
-
I liked the mechanics of the confrontation. You can defend and attack your opponent
-
You can use your agility to cover walls and block shots of your opponent (friend)
-
I like the bright colors in the game
-
It’s very dynamic.
-
I think this game is unique. You can have fun with it while having parties. Especially if you play on the shore of the sea as the guys showed us in the trailer ;)
The game has several modes, but I most like the mode that resembles air hockey. You too?

A fun game about battles with ducklings and ships. The biggest disadvantage of this game is the lack of MultiPlayer. It would be great if you could play with your friends online. The controls are as intuitive as possible, shoot at enemies and dodge their shots. Bosses are killed in several stages, new mechanics appear, the game will not get bored right away.

Shoot Shoot Mega Pack
This is a super fun game that’s easy to learn, feels light and whimsical on the surface, but the more you play, the more you realize that the game has serious depth and replayability. The sheer number level and game mechanic permutations is awesome and makes every round feel fresh and different. The controls are slick, excellent game feel, and the art and sound design are great too.
Round up some friends, grab some controllers, and I guarantee you’re going to have some good fun.

Like Jason P. Kaplan, I am also a character in this game. I was also present when it was invented, and I watched it grow up like a sturdy oak.
But if I thought it was bad, I would just say nothing.
It’s good. It’s smooth. This is multiplayer mayhem burnt down to an essential, all-shooting diamond of a thing.
If you have friends, buy SSMP. If you do not have friends, I don’t know. You live in great denial.

BORIS RUSSIAN BEAR
It honestly disappointing me how cheap and underrated this game is, because this game is way better than shitty shooter games on steam like COD and Half life. However, if you do buy this game, (Do it), You start out next to a house, playing as a bear with a AK 47, AKA Boris the Russian bear. The objective is to shoot down soldiers why you make your way to drink all the floating vodkas you can. The graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen, making RDR 2 look like roblox. All the way i recommend this masterpiece, easily the best game I’ve played this year. I’m feeling a strong 10 on this game.

The controls, were okay i guess at best. standard movement and firing i guess but the other options were okay at best. To turn, unless you do so extremely slowly the environment goes blurry until you stop. there is no first person view available. It is extremely hard to aim in general in the 3rd person view.
The damage output you do to enemies compared to what they do to you. I unloaded entire rounds into them and they walked it off, they hit me 3 times i’m dead. there are groups of enemies compared to one of you, which if you could kill them easier wouldn’t be so bad. From what i’ve seen there was no story at all, basically walk around and kill enemies from what i played.
