“CloverPit is yet another game that pulls at the gambling itch and morphs it into a literal death game where you must win big or die trying. Quoted as a “demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette,” you are locked away in a cell, forced to rely on a slot machine for life. Pay off your ever-rising debt or fall into the never-ending depths.”

“Overall, there is a lot of fun to be had in Cladun X3. This hack and slash looter is full of different items, gear, and customization that can keep someone who enjoys this genre occupied for hours on end. There are enough changes in terms of the structure of progression and enough of the original foundation of Cladun to keep players, both returning and new, happy with this entry.”

“Without direct combat, Auridia focuses all its efforts on exploration, platforming, and Lovecraftian-inspired narrative. The result is a game that excels in cohesion, without any dead weight or loose end. Everything in it has its place and fits perfectly, a sense of unity and fluidity that is greatly enhanced by movement mechanics, such as the rope, obtained early on. A true unassuming surprise that reveals itself to be a hidden gem full of bright colors amidst the surrounding darkness.”

It contains double the content, introduces new moves and abilities, and refines the existing levels. While the original wasn't game-changing, Re-PAC is a solid linear platformer and a great callback to the "good old days."”

If the game cost $19.99, I would say it’s a steal because I put in around 10 hours during my first week because it was mindless fun. But the game costs $5.99, that’s an insane price for something that’s this addicting. It’s even better if you add some friends to your game.”
