Escaping Hell
It’s a fun indie game that mixes up its presentation and has a unique sense of style. I like the theme of being kind to yourself and how the gameplay supports that.

Gangsters 1920
Gangsters 1920 is an interesting game that I received from a bundle. The game features an agent walking around through a labyrinth of connected rooms. After figuring out how the game should be played I had an enjoyable time exploiting many bugs and glitches and laughing at the absurdity of what was happening. At one point I was walking and there was a skeleton prop in the corner of the room, the item wasn’t green so I wasn’t sure if it would be interactive like other items in the game and upon touching it I instantly died. This was no problem evidently as I simply respawned in the room before the current room I was in. At another point there was a small ball rolling back and forth in a room, I accidentally touched it and it was like a scene out of Indiana Jones with a giant crushing ball instant killing me, except ball was tiny and not at all threatening yet still instantly killed me. At the near free cost I got this game at, it was definitely worth the 2.4 hours of fun I got out of it. You can also totally edit the XML save file and do so cool stuff like teleporting out of the bounds of the room, interestingly enough the game actually has a linear gravity implemented that causes you to slowly fall deeper and deeper into the void.

“Gangsters 1920” should be classified as a “Walking Simulator” since that’s primarily what you will be doing. Walking through a maze of 215 rooms that all look the same without any map. So you are required to have graph paper and lots of free time on your hands.
The game is supposed to be randomly generated, but it is the same exact map layout each time you start a new game. The placement of the informant, gramophone and guard are always in the same locations every time you play. Even the password never changes. It’s always: “Gramophone”. So I don’t see any of the mentioned replay value. There’s some issues with grammar and a random problem where a saved game loads showing full health, but in reality the player only has half-health. But it doesn’t really matter, because even if you die, you can still Load or Continue where you left off and keep playing. There’s no penalty for dying. In fact I finished the game is one sitting. It’s very easy, simplistic, boring and repetitious. Not at all challenging as mentioned in the description. Just monotonous. For anyone who purchased this game and is stuck, I created a map below. You begin on the Yellow Square and end on the Brown Square.

Tartapolis
The game has a nice noir vibe to it. The story so far is interesting and mysterious. I like the liquid mixing mechanics which has a nice amount of combinations. Overall the game is easy and fun to play but i would really like to have a map so i can find my way easier.

I like this game. I’m looking forward to carrying on, exploring the city, and completing quests. I did read the dev response to another review where there was discussion of a map being put in. Do I have to find the map first? Or did the map not get put into the game yet? That would be my one disappointment so far. Not having a map. If a dev could respond and lemme know what’s up with that, it would be appreciated. Cool game though.

Unravel the mystery of James’s broken project, which could be the last in his career.
Treadnauts
Treadnauts is the kind of game that hits all the bases. Everything I want from couch-gaming can be satisfied after playing just one match.
Pros
-It’s flawless movement mechanics make the game feel buttery smooth with a controller in hand.
-The art style is unforgettable, it’s suave and leaves a smile on your face.
-Jazz never felt so smooth, as in, the music is dope as heck and sticks in your head like a child’s favorite cartoon theme song.
-Caring developers who update the game regularly with relevant and meaningful changes.

Note: Review was updated after Early Access ended.
Fantastic game for playing with other people! The game mechanics are solid and the controls feel great. Development on the game has stopped so we won’t be seeing more content, but what we have right now is more than enough for playing with friends. The community surrounding the game has died down from the activity that it boasted during the Early Access period, but the small community that remains on Discord is very friendly.
