It's just more Hollow Knight, which is good. Don't play this one first though

this is a really good and fun monster hunter game but it performs like hot garbage on PC, buy it on consoles as Capcom actually seems to care about that userbase

Amazing dueling shooter, fast pace, great gunplay, and it's free! play it!

Total War: Warhammer: Expansion number 3. buy the three games in bulk and preferably at a discount as any and all content from the first two games (bar major faction updates) carries over between them, if I were to define any DLC as 100% "necessary" it'd definitely be "The Prophet and the Warlock" as the base warhammer 2 skaven faction is a little barren. If you like 4Xs AND RTSs you'll like this.

this game is very good but I hate changeling island >:/

Odysseus take me

I really like this game some bosses ♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck and the amount of holy resistance is kinda nuts but deffo a 9/10 for me

FIghting the final boss, haven't beaten it yet but I feel like a husk.
10/10

Edit: I BEAT IT!!!!

I'm not really sure what to think of this game

On one hand it's got great visuals, music, it controls great, the characters have cool designs and the voice acting (mostly) makes them feel more like characters, especially since there's some actors I feel I haven't heard before. It's accessible, with good tutorials, visually clear messages, a simple control scheme and a streamlined cancel system.

But on the other I feel like I'm constantly going against nearly every system mechanic during every match

But I wanna be fair so I'll list off the mechanics I do really enjoy first

Ultimate specials are probably my favorite part of the game, instead of simply becoming another tier of special move above the "Heavy" tier they are wildly more powerful, cut down a special's cooldown considerably, are accessible even if said special is on cooldown and/or have unique effects that you can really build a plan around.
the 25% bar refund on a non-cancelled ultimate hit makes finding routing into ultimate specials extremely worthwhile and satisfying, plus, they look fancy as hell.
Meter gain in general being high in this game is great, spending meter also never quite feels like a waste, as supers drain bravery points making the opponent's defensive and offensive capabilities riskier to commit to.
I'm on the fence but ever so slightly in favor of the dodge and cross over system, it's an interesting way to prevent projectile spam from being extremely strong in a game with otherwise very simplistic mobility, and at the same time makes strike pressure at a range feel like a bit of a gamble, especially with really slow buttons.

Now for the negatives

Let's start with my personal biggest gripe: Throw invulnerability. In this game you can't tick throw out of plus frames or throw meaty no matter what, you're invuln to throws for 6 frames after blocking and for a massive 9 frames after knockdown, making throws always mashable no matter what, this makes strike a much better option during pressure, leading to stale offense on block.
This also leads into my other personal gripe: no grounded overhead buttons. The only universal overhead option, outside of jumping, is the 6H variant of the last hit of Triple Attack, which can be seen coming a mile away, as the opponent first has to go through at least 2 other buttons. There are also very few overhead specials, dive kicks, overhead slashes, and even some specials that flat out put you in the air aren't overheads, so all you really have to do while defending is hold down back (or the block button and down) and react to jumps or the very few character specific options.
Combos: BnBs and corner optimals feel extremely samey across a wide range of the cast, it's all generally a button into a launcher into a button into a relauncher, repeating until you're out of specials, you then super to cash out or use an ultimate for better oki, midscreen combos are just as bland, unless you're seox or lancelot, who can keep you on the ground midscreen, preventing the combo limit from kicking in.
Brave Counter: it's a + on block guard cancel, I don't think there's much to say here.

In conclusion I think you should try the free version of this game at the very least as it's pretty fun in a vacuum, but it ends up pretty shallow in the long run, due to the mechanics used to reduce the skill gap rendering the game excessively simple. I think if you're new to fighting games and want to commit to learning something that rewards your time, get Guilty Gear Strive

Absolutely wonderful little game about being a cat exploring the neighborhood for the first time. Lovely cartoony stile, nice level design, good dialogue that fits the tone, wonderful jazz soundtrack that was always welcome. 10/10 adore this game
