Idle & Incremental Lovers strongly recommends Criticality :
When destroying stuff, chain reaction is the best, right? Well, Criticality is all about that dopamine, and it's amazing! Great satyrical story and amazing jazzy soundtrack are the icing on the cake.
+ When many other idlers only have a chain lightning mechanism, this one focuses on chain reaction as the main gameplay element. They can happen in numerous ways.
+ Skill tree is ginormous, whith a great variety of perks.
+ Some prestige skills allow you to go more idle (both offline and online), which is a great thing if you're that type of incremental enjoyer. The runs can also be fully played idle (with less XP reward, of course)
+ The writing is particularly tasty, e.g. " You will be pleased to know that your previous medical condition has been resolved. Specifically, your full-body cancer was cured by removing the body" XD
+ Multiple high quality jazzy/lounge tracks.
- If I had one minor grip, it would be the prestige system. You're pretty much incentified to "prestige, start 1 short run, don't upgrade and go straight back to prestige, rinse and repeat". It's the fastest way to progress (cause you gain so much prestige points just from this first run), but it's not really enjoyable, it's a chore.
What did the Big Boy Atomic Bomb say to the Nuclear Bomb when they met?
Nuke, I am your father.
* Overall, it's a pretty good game worth buying at full price! *

great game but the only reason im making this review is because you guys really need to add a spoiler warning, i already read them so i'm chill but the later part of this game is sort of a spoiler for the three body problem lmao

At first, I was pretty laughably bad at the game, watching my neutrons flying right past those massive atoms for the first two rounds. 😅 But that changed soon as I started getting upgrades and rapidly improving my ability.

The rounds are short but very quick to get right back in for another round, and coupled with that little dopamine buzz every time you unlock new branches of the tech tree and seeing new abilities makes for some kind of addictive chain reaction of its own.

The funny and satirical writing was the surprising gem that helps to tie up the whole package into a really fun game.
