Y'ALL READY TO GET FUNKY?!

A friend kept INSISTING that I played this game, over and over and over again. I was always like "Yeah, later", but it was never my priority; even knowing that everyone praised this game and everyone bitched and moaned when it didn't win at the game awards against some random game that nobody played.

Well, I played it recently and......Boy, do I ever regret not playing this game any sooner. I didn't play that many games in 2023...But this is it to me, this IS the best game of 2023.

I love almost everything about this weird ass game.

- The concept
- The character designs
- The sprite work
- The animations
- How expressive this game is
- Its sense of humor
- The difficulty
- The level design
- The gameplay loop
- The bosses
- The fast paced platforming
- THE MUSIC
- THE COMBO SYSTEM
- THE NOISE
- THE P RANKS
- PIZZA TIME
- KEEP THE COMBO, DON'T DROP THE COMBO
- GUSTAVO AAAAAAAAAAAAH
- AND BRIIIIIICK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
- LAP 2, OH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!

I don't know! I just don't know how I can describe this game and make it justice! It is just batshit insane the entire time and I LOVE IT!!!

And if you go for the P ranks like I did, it's gonna take you forever to beat this game 100% and it's going to be one of the most stressful experiences you will have playing a videogame. But I didn't care, because BLASTING through every single level at mach 3 while being an unstopabble force, that will not surrender to ANYONE until his precious pizzeria is safe.....It feels fucking amazing and super satisfactory!

Especially getting to that second lap. Simply managing to do the whole level from beginning to end and back without dropping the combo...And then running all the way to the beginning of the level WITHOUT DROPPING THE COMBO A SECOND TIME?! It just feels too powerful...

The only things I dislike about this game are some levels that I am not a fan of (About 2 at most, in the whole game), I fucking hate Vigilante...Such an annoying boss. And I also DESPISED P RANKING THE FINAL BOSS.

P ranking Pizza Face was so fucking stressful and frustrating to me, that after so many retries I was legitimately feeling the same primal anger that Peppino was feeling in-game. In that moment, he became me and I became him. We both became one singular entity of pure cosmic furiousness and anxiety...It was cathartic in a way.......

Outside of that, I absolutely adore this fucking game, and I can't wait to replay the whole thing and get all the P Ranks for a lap 2 in like two months from now.

4 AND A HALF PIZZA SLICES OUTTA 5. MOLTO BENE!!!!

Now THIS is what I want to see from AAA games. I just don't know that I can say about this game...It's just really, reaaally good.

I like this interpretation of the guardians, the game looks fantastic, the writing is good and the characters are funny, the motion capture and animations are amazing, there are a few cool alternate costumes for each character, and the combat system is really fun and engaging.

I adore the idea of pausing the entire fight every once in a while so Peter can have a quick pep talk with his team, and depending on the approach you take, you either inspire all of them or fail miserably and only you get powered up. It's just too good.

I also really like the selection of licensed music they picked. They were clearly heavily inspired by the James Gunn movies, but they still picked songs that the movies never used, while still composing original ones I think. Actually, the entire game feels more like its own unique take on the guardians and these crazy characters; it isn't just a one to one copy of the movie versions, which I appreciate.

Only a few times I felt like the writing was a little bit too corny, or the character animations were too awkward when looking at what the characters are supposed to be expressing. But that was never too distracting.

Overall, this was a really pleasant experience, and a really fun and exciting game. Please give it a shot if you haven't, chances are you will really enjoy it, even if you are not a fan of capeshit or Marvel. It is much more than just that.

Yoooooooooo, Rayman is so fucking broken lmao.

Another guest star DLC where Mario is nowhere to be found, but I guess this time around is because they only wanted to use characters created by Ubisoft. I don't really mind anyway, since this is pretty much as fun as I expected it to be, even more.

This DLC is the better one by far, really mixing things up with how different Rayman works compared to the other characters. The overall formula is still the same as in the main game when it comes to exploring this new location, but the actual battles are so much more entertaining because of how busted Rayman is and how much crazy shit he can do.

It was also a pleasant surprise to see the turn limit requirement from the first game make a return! Except now it is better since it only affects some of the most important fights, not all of them. This means you can still relax a bit more in random enemy encounters without having to worry about ending the fight in 3 turns to get the max amount of coins.

I'm also glad to see the Phantom again, and his song is probably even better than the one in the first game, he is a great villain and I love him. The final fight against him is a bit too easy tho.

Overall, this is a great conclusion to what I already considered a great game. I hope this isn't the last we see, not just of the Mario + Rabbids franchise, but also Rayman.

What is it with GTA IV main characters living in such terrible conditions?

It's alright. It's just more GTA IV but with bikers and some cool new guns. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it.

I like that you can call your biker friends to help you during missions. I also appreciate that it was over before I even realized it.

Damn, this game is boring as all fuck. It's a cool concept I guess, but the execution is just so incredibly lame that's the actual scary part.

For starters, I like the idea of getting into a haunted home and trying to make contact with the ghost that lives there...But in order to do that, the game throws like a 100 different gadgets and tools that you have to grab, and put all over the house, and go back to the van so you can grab more, and then memorize what each thing does and how the combine with one another...It's just too much.

Half of the time I was just trying to remember what to take to the house and why, or moving back and forth just moving stuff. This game honestly feels more like I'm playing a simulation of what I am expected to do in my new job, and the horror aspect is just a afterthought.

I like that each ghost you encounter is unique and each one have their own ways of attacking and scare the player...But from what I played, it seems like they all kill you the exact same way, which completely defeats the point of making each ghost feel unique. All I saw whenever I got killed, was a pair of hands showing up in my screen, and then I was teleported to a random room with the specific ghost of that round, then I am dead and all I can do is watch my friends play the game.

But it's not even scary when you get teleported to this random flesh room with the ghost. Not only because it is the same every time, but also because the fucking thing does nothing, it only stands there! Not even a cheap jumpscare!

In fact, the character animation in this game is just mediocre in general; not only do the ghosts barely do anything, but the way these characters move is so cheap looking. They don't even emote in any way, it just looks so bad and completely takes me out of any immersion I could've had.

I only played this game because a friend suggested it, but damn is this one of the most boring horror games I have ever played...And I played 4 of the FNAF games.

Leave it to any random studio to make a better Pokémon game than the Pokémon Company.

I played this for a bit and yeah, it's a bit fun. Personally, I am kinda sick of survival games so I just dropped it for now, but the Pokémon with guns and slavery parts are fun and make the game stand out a lot more.

Yeah, it's scary and funne! I've played it with friends multiple times and it is a blast! Especially with mods and rooms of like 8 people.

I don't play it as much anymore, since the hype kinda died down and it does get pretty boring to do the same thing over and over again. I'm don't usually play horror games cuz I hate them but It's still fun with friends every once in a while!

Simple, but a great time.

I'm too fucking dumb to be able to play a game like this one.

I tried to give this game a shot since a lot of people were really excited for the third game...But I don't think this is the type of game for me.

I just didn't click with the gameplay, I didn't find it all that funny or interesting, I didn't really care for how it looks....I don't know what to tell you.

I wanted to like it, but I guess it's just not for me.

I played this on a fucking web browser!

You telling me kids have access to games like this one on fucking web browsers??!!! All I had was shitty dressing Goku flash games on juegosfriv.com!!!!

This review contains spoilers

I actually enjoyed this game far more than I thought I would!

I wasn't a huge fan of the original game or anything, I found it boring more than anything else since it felt like the most RPG game that I've ever played...I mean, it's in the title.

It was similar with this one, and call me stupid or superficial, but definitely the revamped graphics and modern look helped me sit throught the entire thing a lot easier. I am aware there are also some quality of life improvements that make this one overall easier than the original, so that probably helped too.

But I did like it! I'd say it is very funny, charming and it has the right balance when it comes to difficulty and typical RPG grinding. But by far, the thing I like about this game the most is that it is short! So, that most certainly kept me motivated to keep playing and not just drop it again! The least time I spend playing another RPG, the better.

4/5 Would recommend. Liked it so much that ended up fighting Culex twice.

You know? The first time I watched the trailer for this game, I thought it looked really good! However, it only took me watching the trailer more than once to notice this game looked mid as all hell.

Turns out I was right after all, and everything about this game is not only worse than Mania...But reminds me HEAVILY to Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. You know, the two worst fucking classic Sonic games of all time.

- Presentation is bland
- Music is shit
- Bonus minigames suck
- Bosses are bland and some of them take way too long!
- Chaos emerald abilities are pretty useless and pointless
- The co-op aspect feels like an afterthought
- A LOT of these levels are SUPER slow, frustrating and tedious, and feel like the worst levels in Sonic 1 (So most of them)
- The "final boss" against Fang is so unbearably obnoxious and unfair that I didn't even bother finishing this fucking game.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the level designers from Sonic 1 and CD came back as leading designer for this one, and people were talking about that like that was a good thing? That explains why this game sucks so incredibly hard honestly, but I don't know why ANYONE would think that was a good idea in the first place. Nothing against the guy...But please...Don't come back to make another one of these...I'm begging you.

This game sucks and pisses me off. It's embarrassing that this is what we got right after Mania...But it's even more embarrassing to have released this crap on the same month as Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

It's the best 2D Mario.

Yeah that's all. That's the review.

Why is it that whenever Sonic Team gets criticized they take all of the criticism WAY TOO FAR and end up making the worst fucking Sonic content they possibly can?!?!!!??

This DLC is the absolute fucking worst and I HATED every single fucking second of this.

- It is WAY too hard
- WAY too long
- Too much shit to collect and the map takes FOREVER to fully uncover
- The entire island is now covered in ugly ass floating platforms and obstacles that just make everything look way too cluttered and overwhelming
- Most of these new character interactions in-game are pointless additions and the character animations during these are literally non existent
- The new cyberspace stages are AWFUL!!! With terrible and confusing level design and WAY. TOO. MANY. FUCKING. COLLECTABLES!!!

Even the final boss!!! They were supposed to fix the final boss! and sure, it looks cooler now, but I had to look at a fucking YouTube video just to know how to REMOVE THE FUCKING CHORD OUT OF SUPREME'S FAT FUCKING HEAD, CUZ THE GAME DID NOT MAKE THAT CLEAR AT ALL!!!!

The only things I did like were the boss rush, the new version of I am here and flying all over the place as Tails in his mech...And only Tails, because the other two were not really all that fun to control compared to Sonic.

This DLC is just the worse. I was actually going to replay Sonic Frontiers for a third time just to use the spindash for the whole game, but this DLC completely killed my desire to do that.

It sucks and completely ruins the game. Just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist, especially if you are a completionist...It's not worth it at all.

You either like or dislike this one. Personally, I like this game, even if it is another "step in the right direction" without actually getting there.

I actually played this one when it came out on the Switch, but it didn't have all of the added content and improvements that it had almost a year later when I decided to revisit it on Steam.

I think this game is fun! I know that it looks and a lot of the time just feels like SEGA hired the man and made a "This is what Sonic's graphics will look like in 2015"...But running around as Sonic and doing random platforming challenges IS fun, I don't know what to tell you.

I think the key to this game's success is the fact that it doesn't give you much time to stand still and realize how empty these islands actually are. Each island is full of so many ramps and loops and rails and enemies and collectables... That you are going to keep yourself busy running from one place to the next, just doing cool tricks and going fast as Sonic.

I also don't hate the cyberspace stages as much as everyone else; sure, some of them are massive stinkers but when they are good...They are GOOD. I just wish that they hadn't brought back Green Hill, Chemical Plant and Sky Sanctuary for the millionth fucking time; also that more of these were more similar in difficulty to 1-2, because that is the only hard cyberspace stage in the whole game....And you play it literally in the first island.

But by far, the best part about this game are the Super Sonic boss fights. I can't believe they finally fixed Super Sonic....They finally made Super Sonic fights that actually feel good to control and cool to watch...And it only took them what, 30+ years?

Just the way these fights are presented, Sonic's enhanced moveset during these, how flashy he looks, the sheer scale of these titans, the quicktime events...Everything works! When Sonic grabs one of them, spins it around and tosses it against a fucking mountain...MAN!

And the music? .............HOLY SHIT! Sonic games are known for having great soundtracks at the very least, even if the games themselves are shit...But holy fuck man! This game's boss themes are absolutely spectacular and I never get tired of listening to them on repeat.

Anyway, there are a few things that I do dislike about this game; it takes itself a bit too seriously at times, 2D cyberstages are indeed big poopoo, the base momentum still isn't quite there, the artstyle sucks, the pop-in sucks, the combat is half baked, the final boss is a joke....

But you know what? I don't care.....Because they added the spindash- DUDE THEY ADDED SO MUCH STUFF AND THE SPINDASH!

I didn't get to play with the spindash when I played on Switch...But a year later on Steam?! With the added momentum and being able to maintain my speed after a jump? ..............AND THE SPINDASH?! I swear to god, this game plays completely different after the updates, and when you add all of these to Sonic's moveset, he feels SO incredibly good to control!!!

I also added a few mods to improve the movement since I was playing on PC and boy... I don't know how much they actually affected my experience...But it felt AMAZING to just fly around and reach insane distances and heights just by building momentum. Just thinking about it makes me want to play this game again.

Alright, that's it, I've gushed for long enough. Game good bye.
