@Pelezinho777: It's on Switch! That's special :P
article says "The Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn expansions are all included." so it sounds like a "complete" edition

Does anyone read through these before they're put up? I'm not commenting on the quality of the review, but the quality of the English.

"this vision of Tokyo is visually stunning" (repetitive)

"the grime, the filth and, the gutter." (misplaced comma)

"The glory and excitement of desperate video game violence---the kind you can barely survive--is what Tokyo 42 swims in." (inventing punctuation)

"Your contracts include rooftop sniping and stealth assaults to riding motorcycles and leaping atop flying cars to reach a target." (presented as a range, but introduced as a list "Your contracts range from X, to Y")

"The gorgeous look of every street, every building and every statue outshines character's motivations" (inconsistent use of Oxford comma, missing article for character)

To me it sounds like "By heck!" (by 'eck!)

@monkey54: The game is difficult. I welcome the difficulty. But when I die, I don't feel it was because I screwed up, it usually feels like the game threw too many enemies at me and didn't give me what I needed to face them, or there were holes all over the place and I needed to escape an enemy that homes in on me, or a hole appears beneath my seed and I wasn't given enough notice to escape it, or after falling in a hole I take damage and have to return to my last flag and then take more damage because it was so far away (that's overly punishing, and no fun at all). I feel that the indirect controls further exacerbate this feeling of unfairness.
It's the difference between Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon. Nuclear Throne throws too many enemies at you without providing enough ammunition, Enter the Gungeon is always giving you new ways to tackle the obstacles but consistently throws bullet-hell style gameplay at you. There are better roguelikes out there.

The indirect control coupled with the insurmountable odds make it feel unfair when you die; not good for a roguelike.

It's less "oh that was totally my fault, i'll learn from that and try again" and more "oh for f*** sake why am i still playing this."

My patience ran out.

I've found it to feel unfair, it doesn't ease you into new obstacles and screws you over whenever it can. I'll continue playing but my patience is also likely to run out.
Decent review.
