    Enter the Gungeon's excellent concept gets bogged down by serious performance issues. There is a lot to like here: the armory of unique and fun weapons and items, a variety of objectives to work toward, and convenient features like teleportation, automatic money collection, and the ability to reload while dive rolling. Every run can be worthwhile, which is a good feeling in a genre that is often so punishing. Unfortunately, the poor performance hinders the core gameplay too much for the Xbox One edition to be anything more than the worst version of an otherwise great game.

    Despite playing for hours on end I never got particularly good at Enter the Gungeon, but that doesn't mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy my time with it. It's great as a top-down shooter, even if it's just average as a roguelike. Pairing the frustration of bullet hell with the frustration of a random number generator doesn't always yield results, but when the stars align there's just something magical about it.

    You are gonna hate this game, you are gonna feel done, you are gonna unistall it and the refund it, or well just use game-pass.

    You are be so angry you are gonna do bad at work, you will be forever haunted.

    But 5 months later you will download it again,and play and again, until you repeat the same.

    And this cycle will continue again,and again, and again, for 2 years this game will be your nightmare, your haunted game.

    But the you will finish it and say: Goddamn, this game is **** good.

    Because it **** is.

Most of them are puns or a reference. The enemies are varied enough that it doesn't get repetitive. Bosses are always a joy to fight. The one complaint I have is challenge mode is a bit unbalanced right now. But overall the game is one of my favorite games so far this year. I have already enjoyed it for over 200+ hours and will continue to do so for awhile. Full Review »
