To the Moon

Game review

It's not a game, it's an interactive novel.

EvilQuest

Game review

I didn't like the style - it's like poor man's retro rpg with ugly font and sad textboxes. The controls are clunky and when using skill that required charging I had to stop moving for it to begin.

Pros.
-Easy to delete from your hard drive

Cons.
-Style
-Controls
-Didn't care for the story
-Juvenile

I give this game 4 just because someone spent enormous amount of time to make a game that I hate.

Cons.

-Art style

99 Levels To Hell

Game review

Review based on alpha demo 9.7.2012

Pros:
-Would be great if there were more GOOD roguelike games

Cons:
-Way too dark, my eyes are sore now
-Too much gore, looks just silly
-Levels not procedural enough
-Too simple (even shooting feels repetive)
-Floaty controls

Poor-man's Spelunky.

Offspring Fling!

Game review

Pretty puzzle platformer with serious issues.

Pros:
-Art
-Puzzles/mechanic

Cons:
-Controls are bad for precise movement
-Music is repetetive and get's annoying

If you want to challenge yourself and try to beat the record times, go away. This game is suitable for those that seek an easy going puzzle "adventure" but it's definitely not "tight" enough for serious gamer. Buy The Adventures of Shuggy instead.

Braid

Game review

Fantastic puzzle platformer with a gimmick. You are able to reverse and forward time and thus overcome death itself. This doesn't make the game easy though, since there's usually several things to take to concideration.

Pros:
-Art
-Controls
-Mechanics
-Story (if you like a bit depressing stories)

Cons:
-Very hard at times

Machinarium

Game review

For point&click fangirls 7 seems like blasphemy but I have my reasons and I'll tell you about it, don't you worry.

Pros:
-Puzzles feel logical while still weird and refreshing
-Story and the world is complex if you think about it
-Art style

Cons:
-Art style (it's one of those love it or hate it)
-Misses memobrable characters

For me the game was way too gray and too quiet/depressing all the time. I didn't feel any sympathy for the "mainbot".

Dungeons of Dredmor

Game review

Been playing Dredmor from day 1 and it's still awesome. Waiting for every official update/expansion since I don't like mods.

Gnomoria

Game review

Gnomoria is currently in alpha-state which means there's plenty to improve before it's concidered as a finished product. This doesn't mean that it's unplayable, quite the contrary, it's a cheerful strategy/building sim in the veins of Dwarf Fortress.

Pros:
-Pretty graphics
-It's fun to run your own little kingdom
-Variety of things to do

Cons:
-Mouse controls are a bit clunky (alpha!)
-Lot to learn even though it's nowhere near DF.
-Slow paced (for those that seek for action/RTS, beware)

Can't wait for the future updates!
