Star Control®: Origins

Star Control®: Origins

I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.

You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?

You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.

There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]

=========================================

I have bought the game myself and completed it.

Let’s list all the positives first:

  • Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.

  • Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.

  • Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.

Balcony

Balcony

Given such a low price, this game pleasantly exceeded my expectation! If you are a fan of Overcooked, the Balcony is an excellent new take where you need to go through obstacles and puzzles under time limit to deliver items and party with your friends. For an indie game, each stage feels well-designed and filled with creativity. I really love the dinosaur at the end! Overall a recommend!

Insomnious

Insomnious

The Story

You just brought a brand new AI assistant designed specifically to help with insomnia, now it’s time to try to sleep. . . But something isn’t quite right about tonight. Maybe getting to sleep is the least of your problems now.

SleepCo’s brand new Sleeping Assitance Machine is making headlines as it sells out globally only weeks after being released. Alongside their specially crafted medicine to help with insomnia, SleepCo seems to be ready to put the whole world to bed. After setting up your SAM beside your bed, taking your medicine and getting into your pyjamas, SAM wakes up to help guide you into sleep. But tonight something is different. You don’t feel as tired as you usually do after taking your medicine. You hear noises all around you. SAM says to ignore it, but should you? Maybe a good night’s rest will sort all of this and you won’t have to worry about it in the morning. If you make it to the morning that is.

Manifestations of your worst nightmares, creatures of pure horror trap you in your small bedroom, there is no escape, even closing your eyes you see the hands of the beast coming for you. What will you do? Will you ever get to sleep? Maybe it’s just all in your head and you should just ignore it like SAM keeps telling you to.

The Gameplay

Insomnious is a survival horror game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s, however with the added feature of being able to move around the room and get close and personal with the monsters to push them away.

You are trapped in your room for the night, run around the room and hold back the night terrors while trying to get enough rest to fall asleep. These night terrors could come from everywhere, the window, the closest, the painting and even your bedroom door. But just confronting your fears by getting close enough to push them back will keep you safe for the night.

Each night the monsters get more and more aggressive, on top of this the amount of time you have to sleep for increases each night. You have to manage defending yourself against the monsters of the night and getting sleep by making yourself vulnerable and resting in your bed.

The main story mode will take you through 3 nights of progressively more and more difficult scenarios as you listen to your SAM try to get you to sleep.

The challenge mode introduces a collection of 3 unique challenges to try to beat, it’s similar to story mode just without any additional lore.

Finally the custom mode allows you to set your own challenges to try to survive. In custom mode you have the ability to change each monster’s difficulty (or even disable each monster), change the amount of time you need to sleep before surviving the night and even change the amount time it takes for the nightmare to kill you.

Peekazoo

The luxury cruise liner Animals Star just set off on its first voyage and all of the animals are having a great time. However, the crewmates have no idea that there is a conspiracy afoot.

The animals invited aboard by the scientists have no idea that they’re about to become guinea pigs for a new experimental serum. The scientists take the first subjects through a tunnel and into the lab, inject them with the serum, and write down their reactions: “Increased physical function, slightly increased intelligence, decreased eye sight, gradual increase in irritability, increased aggression… the first experiment’s failed! The subjects are out of control!” After losing their minds, the subjects break through the observation chamber, kill the scientists, and take over the ship’s remote control and the keys to the tunnel.

A Nasty Farm

A Nasty Farm

Nasty Farm is an arcade 3d game showing the unclear situation of chicks imprisoned by Dr. Mazi, a mad, self-proclaimed scientist who has targeted small defenseless chicks bought with the farm, the number of chicks was huge, so he decided to make a deal on them, but the disobedient chicks go to boxes.

Game:

_Playing the role of our super character, you have to prepare yourself to save poor chicks locked in cages. The player’s task is to take the falling crates out of the machine as quickly as possible, deliver the crate to the press, located on the right side of the platform, thus freeing the chicks. The task seems trivial, but it is not. Crates falling off the machine use engine physics and any nervous uncoordinated pulling of crates carries a consequence, crates can block the machine, push the character away, the player should avoid such situations. An additional obstacle are crates with explosives that take the player’s energy.

Although we did not leave the player without a chance to defend himself, we added extra chests that add special abilities for a short while. Unlocking special chests requires collecting the appropriate number of points. During the game, the player must balance the game to earn points, to unlock extra crates, but must not forget to save the chicks. After the time is over, the player must quickly go outside to the shelter and catch the chicks escaping in panic into the basket, to unlock the next round, he must catch the right amount of them and not let them fall to the ground. The game is over when you destroy the evil professor’s machine. In the game, we left a small detail related to the gameplay that the player should discover for himself in order to become the best. Good luck._

Each of them has a unique team ability, special foul and shoot, which are mostly related to that country. Some have different playing fields, too. In addition to scoring a goal, you can also prevail with fouls in this game. You will try to win the world cup with a team that you are allowed to select. Just the world cup ? Maybe not.

You can play the game with your friends in the same computer or over Steam. You can be either in the same team or rivals against eachother. You can play a tournament in a same team together, too !

House Cleaning Survival

House Cleaning Survival

The game is only a couple of hours long and half of that is very slow dialog. There was no option for remapping hotkeys and the invert mouse didn’t work for me. Parts of it were fun, but there was no point to it as there is no leveling or upgrades. Not worth anywhere near $20.

Couldn’t pass the second level cause I was unable to target the pillow and book on the ground to place them in the right spots. Targeting was off center and ruined the gameplay for me.

Kine

Kine

I really liked Kine. It’s a fun puzzle game about moving one or more of three musical instrument characters around what looks like a simple block oriented course. Each puzzle only takes a few moves but it’s not as simple as it sounds because it involves rotating the character and extending their ‘limbs’ to help movement. Movement from one position to another is very slick and its just as easy to revert a move so the game encourages a try and see if it works approach. The music is fun and there is a story which ties it all together.

Quality puzzle game in terms of production value

The most impressive thing for me about this game is the visuals. The comic book art-style is lovely. The music stands out, too, which isn’t surprising in a game where you play as anthropomorphic musical instruments aspiring to be musicians. I did find it a bit too lively and upbeat at times, though, which can be a bit distracting when you’re doing puzzles that require patience and focus to solve, but this is pretty much a nitpick, easily remedied by turning the volume down a bit. On top of that, this is a relatively narrative-driven puzzle game, where the story is told via dialogue by the characters in the form of speech bubbles. There are three characters altogether, and they each have their own personalities! There’s no voice acting in the game, but that is probably too much to expect from an indie puzzle game where a lot of effort has already been put into the visuals and music.
