I'm going to preface this by saying horror games are not my thing because I am a CRAVEN COWARD. But this was the only horror game to keep me engaged enough to keep playing despite my inherent fear of screen pixels. Highly recommend for other people who do not like horror games.

It is an incredible game that I was finally able to play ever since it was ported to PC. This game is definitely carried by how good the main cast is. Gameplay and game length wise its showed its age for sure. I can understand why this game was so universally acclaimed to begin with.

Incredible game when it all starts clicking and you start putting the pieces together to break the time loop. The combat and mechanics are fun and engaging like many games Arkane has made.

However, going through the same maps just feels a bit repetitive. I understand that it's the intention of the plot, but it just doesn't work gameplay wise. It becomes kind of a slog when the discovery and exploration phase of your playthrough ends. And the ending was meh.

Good game, just has several flaws.

Only good if you're willing to shell out quite a bit of money for expansions that have mechanics that should've been in the base game. Like the black plague. In a medieval simulation.

The dopamine hits can only last so long with this hyper scaling driving simulator. The luster of the game kinda wears off after a while.

Incredible hack and slash that just makes you feel like a DEMON with the type of combos you can pull off. There's nothing that quite gives me a dopamine hit like air juggling some grunt for 15 seconds and seeing that SSS pop up. I just felt the sections with V were boring and went on too long to some degree. Other than that insane game that I come back to every now and then.

Incredible roguelike shooter. I definitely have phases where I play this game for a week straight every year. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing, the level design is great and the enemy design and boss design are fun and engaging to fight against.

However I have a few select complaints. You’re kind of locked into one type of build because I just can’t help but feel I need to build attack speed and crit at all times on MOST characters with a few exceptions (Loader). If you can’t get those items in either a 3D printer or just finding them you’re kind of boned. Also getting one shot for no reason is also really fun…

Overall this is one of the best roguelikes for a reason, def worth a try.

It's overrated to be honest. Progressing through the stages I don't really find my character getting an stronger outside of leveling up because the gear you pick up through most stages isn't better than what you start with... Also getting one shot for no reason is a really fun roguelike mechanic

One of those games I think about every now and then. I came in expecting a serious crime drama. I got that, and a cabaret club manager game with karaoke. I love games that scratch my ADHD itch to just allow me to run around and bullshit outside of doing the main sotry. Yakuzo 0 has plenty of content for that. I love this game with my whole heart.

Survival games are not my thing to be honest. I only bought it to play with friends and I would say that would be the only time I would find this game enjoyable.

When someone who's getting into roguelikes asks what's the first one they should play: I will tell them Hades every single time.

The concept is excellent; the execution is flawed. You will literally have tutorial bots on your SWAT team and the enemy AI will be 20+ year special forces veterans with wallhacks serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the maps are big and you have to literally find every single citizen and bad guy to the point where it becomes extremely tedious. I get what they were going for, but sometimes realism does not translate well for video games.

Lol this is truly slop. Absolute worst in the genre of walking sims with guns and zombies.

Cool game but cringy awful manchild tacticool LARPer community. The game depends on relying on the community.
