negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neat idea with an absolutely terrible execution. Has just about every flaw in the book ranging from minor bugs and crashes to completely broken game mechanics and unresponsive controls. RIP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game. Unfortunately, there's no player anymore in the game but if you take with your friends game can be lot fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What's the point of local multiplayer if you can't play with keyboard and controller simultaneously?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game saved my life. I am 43. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiralling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to play Headsnatchers, as I'm a big fan of gathering my friends together and playing chaotic kinds of games, but this one was a bit of a disappointment. While I love the premise--you go around trying to steal other players' heads before they can steal yours--in reality, the controls are clunky, the instructions aren't always clear, and overall it just wasn't all that fun. There is only one mode you can play in online co-op with the others locked behind local. Many of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's quite fun with friends but everyone knows having friends is a myth and the online is absolutely dead. At least it have a single player platformer mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So i just intalled this game cuz looks really good, and funny. It is cool to create your own character to play. I like it!!. BUT BUT BUT, WOWOW, I HATE THIS GAME CUZ: the movement of the doll with the position of the camera is not well done, the keys do not respond well, you go crazy to move around the stage. I got bored and couldn't even play because I kept falling into the lava. I didn't like anything, it was unplayable. AND then if u want to play with more people, well there are not more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know if I'll keep this one. It looked fun, so I wanted to give it a try. I'd really like to be able to play with other people...but I guess I can't? I can only play with friends in my Friends List? I'm not a fan of the keyboard controls either. Really irks me. Hard to do the castle with the arrow keys and the camera angles. Gave up for now, but I'll probably give it a few more tries later on.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Single-player is an awkward 3D platformer that isn't fun. The local multiplayer doesn't have all the levels/modes and online multiplayer has no players. The unlocks are bugged so it's impossible to get 100% completion. Completely abandoned by the developers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. Just make it F2P already or add bots. It's not terrible but definitely not worth spending money on.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →H..O..R..R..I..B...L...E 1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it. Great party game. It is some super simple stupid fun with friends and kids. My son can't stop laughing when playing this. Online seems dead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before I played this... I had a small wee wee, no friends, no girlfriend, depression and absolutely no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Headsnatchers is an 'okay' local and online vs game but the online playerbase is gone. Hopefully they'll switch this game to free-to-play, perhaps making the outfits (currently cosmetic only) into paid DLCs.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the servers are dead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute garbage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems like it would be fun, but the game feel is just too janky and slow to really be any fun. It's not very enjoyable spending so much time knocked down and the game objectives are obtuse and hard to achieve sometimes. Really unfortunate that this game isn't better.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My son loved it. I think its creative and fun. Low replay value, but entertaining!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Headsnatchers is a party game that you play with friends. (Or so I presumed) But... It's not fun to play. The controls are clunky and the modes are no fun. Nowadays, me and my friends still refer back to this game when we deliberate over how bad a game could possibly be. I mean, it's not GASP but it makes me GAG at how awful and disgusting of a product it is. I definitely bought it on sale, but I still spent money and it was absolutely not worth the price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun with friends and has remote play options so not everyone has to buy a copy. Game is simple but the recovery takes too long IMO even if you have a full stack of 4 in party. Okay to play for maybe 10-15 minutes until it gets boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The core concept is ok, but not really well executed. You hit another player to take they head off, then throw the head in the objective of the map while they try to recover their head. The problem is, most of the times, it's hard to recover the head, so the first to land a hit wins. And there isn't much variation. Playing for even one hour with my godson was a pain. Boomerang Fu is much simpler in concept and a lot funnier to play.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the sever is pretty dead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A clunkier and less polished alternative to Fall Guys.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though I have only 54 minutes of playtime it was decently fun with a friend. Beat my friend so bad so many times in a row he refuses to play with me anymore. Game gets an A.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4 Player party game Played once with friends and once with family and never again. 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fall Guys with guns, weapons, less players, and horrendous input lag. Seriously, one second to detect, and PS5 controllers work horribly. The input lag makes character customization needlessly clunky despite there being a plethora of options. The sole single player game is some platformer with Unity-like (I am aware the game was made in Unreal) effort put in-between, little exposition, but just enough to hold people forever alone (or without others to play) over for 0.3 hours. This was given…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a Coop fan, the game has potential but sadly the controls are too clunky and kill out all the fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you are a 12 year old with the mind of a nine year old.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SO i got this game for free but it still doesn't worth it. 1st it basically requires 4 people. online is dead and singleplayer is just not good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad game, bery bery bad game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only thing good about this game is the zombie castle because it seems competent enough and has some creative platforming, even though the controls are really floaty and the zombie mechanics for puzzles are frustrating especially on normal mode. Every other mode is multiplayer so there is not much content for single players, I'm not even sure local co-op or online modes even work anymore. The game also crashes quite often with an Unreal Engine error, this can be a major problem with online…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →surprisingly fun party game with a dead online multiplayer but functional local multiplayer. the game is wacky, easy to control, and decently fun to play with kids. the mini-games lack polish and memorable characters so it's more fun to play in random bursts than an all-nighter like some other party games. i got this game in a giveaway, so i would recommend this game on a steep discount. for regular price, there are better party games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Verdict 👍 Recommended Not for me — I dropped it almost instantly — but as a chaotic party game it can be fun for the right group. My history with the game I stopped after 0.1 hours. It just didn’t hook me at all, so yeah: not my type of game. Quick signals 💸 Value: ✅ "That'll do, pig. That'll do." 🖥️ Requirements: ✅ Minimum 🎨 Graphics: ✅ Cheap 📖 Story: ✅ None 🎮 Difficulty: ✅ Easy to learn, hard to master 🐛 Bugs: ✅ Perfect ⏱️ Length: ✅ 0–2 hours (for me) ⏱️ Length: ✅ 100+ hours (if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its very boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not being able to rebind keys makes it hard to play with keyboard and mouse (I didn't try controller since I try games with keyboard and mouse first, then go for controller if it seems fun) couldn't play online because probably there isn't enough players at first it sounded like it's going to be fun, from the looks, but after playing zombie castle I realized this game has to go a long way before it's enjoyable movements doesn't feel right (camera also has an effect that I can't recognize…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended, but has its fun moments. This is not all bad, but there isn't enough good to keep me going. The graphics are well done, with a polished presentation and nice animated scenes that act as mini tutorials. There is also a very short single player mode with 5 platformer levels and a boss fight. The biggest drawback for me is the questionable physics, fixed camera, slippery platforming and overall feeling like you never really have solid control of your character. It detracts from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does "Fall Guys" sound familiar to you? That is what this game could've been... The main reasons it failed are: 1. The developer decided to go fishing and ignore our feedback. That's the stupidest thing you can do as an indie developer. 2. The controller support is broken beyond imagination. I don't use a controller but to get the most of it, you have to play with a friend or online (this option is out of the question because the servers are emptier than the developer's skull).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no no it stinky
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has potential but probably they will be no more updates. Not all modes are avaiable when you play online and some are avaiable only on local play.Even if you use remove play you or your friends might not be able to join a game. Game is fun overral but i really cannot recommend it because of these problems. Forgot to mention hard difficulty for zombie castle. You need to beat all floors without dying 3 times and they need to be completed in 1 run. This is just too much
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute and colourful art I was thinking this was fun game. You can create your guy to look how you want. Sad that this game is not very good and controls don't work all times. It is also sometime confusing to play.
