      Smite is so guilty of this, 100$ for a skin when I can get two whole 50+ hour games that’ll have me balling at the end….I’m looking at you xenoblade3, even better I can spend 100$ getting quite a few awesome indie titles.

    You know, this game actually had a demo at Sonic Amateur Games Expo a year back, great to see fan game makers like Lake Ferperd and Kaze Emmanuar break into the main industry.

    I've been digging through the eShop for something to buy with my leftover eShop funds and this game looks to be the exact thing I've been looking for. If it weren't for this review, this game might've flown under my radar. Didn't bother with the demo, just bought it straight away. The review told me all I needed to know.

    This looks gorgeous! I often think games like this for such low prices do often give me more joy and excitement for games as a medium than a more normal full price AAA release.

      I don't understand why there are so many "cute" games these days. As an adult man with three kids, it's kinda off-putting. My wife came across me playing a cute game the other day and she whispered in my ear "You're making my d*ck soft." (FYI... she's quoting a Dave Chappelle skit). To be frank, I get it. They are d*ck softening.

      Demon turf is sooo good and has such fluid and good controls but the level design feels like it can be a bit better to fit the jumps, still worth 20$ especially when compared to what’s happening in recent years

    Saw this so picked it up on Steam to play on Steam Deck, unverified but it runs perfectly so far. Controls are a bit overly sensitive by default but can be changed in options, as well as a hi-res mode enabled that looks a lot nicer (more Dreamcast than PSone).

    I tried the demo, and wow this feels like what a good first try at a 3D Sonic game could’ve been on the Saturn. It’s got a speedy, arcade feel with enough speed spectacle stuff with added exploration. Reskin the main character as Sonic and you’re pretty much there. Considering I spend $12 on a lunch out without batting an eye, I’ll be happy to pay $5 for the whole thing.
