neutral · AI labelView post →Mayday may not be as creatively manic as the directors' previous films (Dungeons & Dragons: HAT, Game Night) but it does offer two fun leads, a quick pace, and some impressive action scenes.

neutral · AI labelView post →I only got to play the demo on Halloween(about 3 days before launch) and in that (very nice and large demo) I burned a good 12 something hours over the course of three days. I actually was watching for the moment it came up so I could buy it. I enjoyed it that much. What is it? If you crossed Terraria with Don't Starve, cranked the combat difficulty down a good several notches, and threw in a story line that reminds me of Virtual Villagers...It plays like that with it's own flavour. It's a fun…

positive · AI labelView post →Game is fun, but when i went to a new island it was a swamp area, i died and now when i travel back to the island its not a swamp and my stuff is not there. i restarted the game after that is said my loot is not on that island anymore but its on a island that i cant even go to yet (im assuming its the swamp). so now i cant get any of my stuff and at this point it would just be better for me to restart because i already looted most stuff and its where i died, but cant get to.

I will never stop loving this game and its' wonderful characters 😭💖 their designs are so vibrant and fun! And I am so excited for the new game in 2026 🤩 #RaideoArts #NoStraightRoads
positive · AI labelView post →Controller support feels like a total afterthought. Right stick to navigate through inventory is a curious and counterintuitive choice. Once you've selected an item with the right stick, it will snap back to the far left. Crafting menus are incredibly counterintuitive when playing with controller. You eventually realize that there's ways to control the quantity, again with the right stick, but the visual elements in the UI don't hint at what you need to do or how to interact with them.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some of you may be wondering what this odd version of the Mayday model is? Well the xbox series version of the game had these model and texture files included as an unused "Grace Jones censorship" in case she didn't give permission. the switch version also had an unused disable Mayday outright patch

Alongside the two in this video, there are also 1:1 ports of Ganon from Supra Smash Bross Devolution and Mayday, where these character sprites came from! #ytp #fangame

neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, I am in the minority here but I do not like this game. I am still in the 'tutorial' (I guess?) and I'm at this point where I met this Lich and am told to make Iron weapons. I made the weapon and now he's spawning 12 skeletons in my base non stop. If I die or if I kill them all he just respawns them. I'm in this horrible cycle now and I honestly just don't want to even go any further. Super frustrating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm still in the beginning but i'm already enjoying it a lot. The game seems pretty vast and the building system alligned with progressive rewards is really fun. And i'm also glad to know that the game was developed by brazilians. Wish all the best for them.

I knew jumping in it was a comedy but this should have been labelled a parody. Its like Temu Top Gun, with the jokes even an 8 year old would not be amused by. Its CGI on CGI. Plastic scenes, plastic planes Plastic Acting. Reynolds plays his usual role, sarcasm but extra dumbed down its past boring. He does now have a new aspect to his skillset, the inability to offer…

I REALLY appreciate the main goal of getting off the island and the side quest list in your journal because it gives me something to work towards. The game mechanics are pretty basic and very easy to use. I'm still early on in the game, but I feel like the difficulty is balanced so far (I'm playing in the normal "adventure"…

You have a unique brewing system where you store ingredients and can control the literal direction of making potions that gets charted on nodes.

neutral · AI labelView post →I played the entire demo a few months ago and just bought the full game and it is every bit as fantastic as I remember. It is very engaging from the very beginning and I love the "mystery" vibes it provides. It is even more impressive when you click the credits and see how mainly two people are responsible for this masterpiece. Art is very consistent and for sure a breath of fresh air when we are drowning in this sea of AI slop.

neutral · AI labelView post →MAYDAY is not at all in the same league as DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS or GAME NIGHT, but it still has Daley & Goldstein’s delightful inclination toward finding bits of physical or cinematic business to enhance every scene. Good fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →“Both 2018’s Game Night and 2023’s Dungeons & Dragons found ways to make formula feel fresh, relying on star charisma and a bit of visual juice to entertain. Mayday is not as successful, but it’s not far off.” READ Our Movie Review @ Cinefied: www.cinefied.com/post/mayday-...

It's written & directed by the two guys that made Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves--John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. We had a blast! Kenneth Branagh is hilarious.
