✍️ Reviews of the Week

We dove into the dungeons of Degenheim trying to survive and take out waves of enemies and then took our skateboard to the park to hang out with fellow Hooligans in our two featured reviews:

While Degenheim initially provides enjoyable gameplay for a limited duration, its replayability is hindered by both beta limitations and the repetitive nature of its abilities, despite their varied effects like frost, bleed, burn, or shock. Despite this, the game offers an engaging core experience, allowing players to strategize with a limited set of abilities to overcome challenges and defeat bosses. However, the enjoyment is marred by occasional glitches, such as being stuck or experiencing issues with the in-game shop, preventing it from achieving the status of a standout roguelike game.

Despite the challenge of finding engaging activities in Hooliland City due to limited attractions, My Pet Hooligan offers a thrilling gaming experience, especially with a strong player base. The game revitalizes traditional shooter concepts with innovative twists, offering diverse modes like Anarchy, Coinpocalypse, and Hangout to cater to different player preferences. Though it has room for improvement, My Pet Hooligan provides an entertaining and captivating experience that is bound to appeal to gamers worldwide.
