Afterbern Democralypse

A pretty funny and generally well-made game, but oh my god the AI is infuriating. I don’t doubt that it’s intentionally annoying, but their patterns make it pretty hard to play more than a few matches and remain sane.

This game is a political street fighter where you whoop peoples asses as certain characters such as donald trump and michelle obama…hilary…it’s funny and fun!

There needs to be more combos added I would say, I didn’t feel there was a ton of options.

This was fun and runs smooth with no problems, definitely worth the price tag especially on sale!

I feel bad no one else has even written a review, this game is a good time waiting for some friends with a set of controllers, on the real though!

A Chamber of Stars

A Chamber of Stars

Each person has a universe inside of them.

A personal universe with characters influenced by the observable reality around them. Your friends, the fans, the local shop clerk, each person you pass without giving pause is another universe. You make up a story about them, they form a story about you. The universes expand.

I always wonder how similar our universes can be. You and I. Will I ever be able to pierce through and present myself, my real self, or will the information be lost in translation? The thing rattling around in our heads can’t be all that different. We both still get choked up over the same melodies, it’s only human to do so, right?

Maybe, if you would like it, I could play something for you. Lord knows your songs are still rattling around in my head.

The singularly named Starr, an enigmatic performer, guitarist and songwriter, has somehow survived the constant shifting tide of the musical landscape. Decade after decade, this artist has remained relevant in culture’s eye. After multiple personas, genre manipulations and controversies, the public is still buzzing. “What will Starr do next?” The rumors say their upcoming album will be the fated magnum opus…

A Chamber of Stars is the sequel to 2018’s The Endless Empty. Through six unique worlds the life of the rock n’ roll hero, Starr, will be pieced together. Exploration, choices and performances will change the course of a life and will alter the songs that are produced. A Chamber of Stars will feature a mix of classic adventure games, puzzle solving and unique rhythm game performances all within a fully realized surrealist universe.

Nothing heavenly or divine; just filthy mortal music here.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

A charming, hilarious and fun adventure with the perfect balance of puzzle difficulty. This point and click has my favourite puzzle design because they are not too hard to figure out, but also not too easy. The characters are unique, interesting and lively, and the graphics are gorgeous without putting too much strain on a computer (as a laptop gamer, I especially appreciate this as there is nothing sadder to me than a game I really want to play with specs that my computer can just about manage with lags). As in the first game, Wilbur is an absolute treasure, Ivo is as great a female character as ever and Critter is quirky, sweet and loyal. Nate has grown more likable in this game as well as gained a fair amount of depth and development.

If you played ‘The Book of Unwritten Tales (1)" you will probably enjoy this sequel. It brings back all the main characters from the first game and introduces a few new ones.

The textures and rigging are a little better than the first and the mechanics and walk paths are a little smoother but I still found that some of the walk paths (especially when you are switching between characters) are a little weird. You don’t have to do any pixel hunting because you can highlight all items that you can interact with so it’s hard to miss something. Some of the puzzles are not very logical to solve but most of them are reasonable.

Bolt Riley, A Reggae Adventure

Bolt Riley, A Reggae Adventure

It would be in my best interest to give a glowing review since I want to see this game completed but I need to be honest about the progress made so far. I do realise this game is considered Early Access and I know the budget for this game is pretty small, and you should keep that in mind too (if you end up reading the in-depth review linked below), but ultimately, is it something I would recommend to my friends or the gaming public in its current state? Considering the artwork still needs some touching up, bugs were encountered way too frequently, the UI needs fixing and the first chapter is way too short, probably not. I’m hoping that Adventure Mob will eventually prove me wrong though, as I really want this game to succeed.

Bolt Riley is a well-intentioned but uniformly misguided proof of concept.

Presumably the developers naively underestimated the effort required to achieve the level of quality best suited to their vision. Instead, they opted to release an embarrassingly short and painfully butchered appetizer.

One should be easily inclined to forgive unrefined details in Early Access but no update in over a year severely burdens the game’s credibility.

Fallen from the sky

Fallen from the sky

Fallen from the sky - a casual game with adventure elements, executed in 2.5 D graphics, where you have to descend from heaven to earth. The game is attractive not for its visual component and gameplay variety, but for the philosophical thought underlying it. This ideal of engineering, socio-philological and gamedev thought aims to develop mindfulness and responsiveness.

Scene:

The main character (the so-called “Dude”) after death went to heaven, but he did not like it and he decides to escape to hell, where they are waiting for him with open arms, because in our life the main thing is not the environment, but who you are with. how you really feel.

The task at each level is to collect coins to move on to the next, because only in paradise everything is for everyone and in unlimited quantities, unlike the earth, and even more so, the world is under our feet.

First, the Dude falls in the clouds, then among skyscrapers, sewers, and so on until hell.

All this separately hints at the different palaces of the mind of people and clearly shows the biblical scriptures, only in a different order:

  • Sky - complete purity

  • Skyscrapers and sewerage - boilers that will help cleanse

  • Hell is the dirtiest place and those who get there almost always have no right not only to become clean, but even to try to cleanse themselves from their sins

This game does not want to offend anyone, let alone propagandize something, but is simply an impulse of imagination of the author and me, who is writing this description for the game.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded

85 / 100

First thing to appreciate with Leisure Suit Larry (LSL) is that it is a game that originally was created in 1987! The gameplay in this ‘Reloaded’ version is essentially the same, with updated graphics, interface & full voice/audio support.

Being from an earlier generation, the gameplay can feel basic by modern standards and there is no real direction from a story perspective to guide you either. You only know that you need to guide Larry (the 40yr old virgin) to find love. With limited guidance, the ability to visit any of the locations in any order & a lot of abstract puzzles to solve LSL can leave you scratching your head for long periods.
