Pixelpunk XL

Pixelpunk XL

This game feels really good to control, it sounds cool, its aesthetic is really, really nice, and the missile launcher is incredibly satisfying to wield.

My main complaints with the game involve the enemies, and the lack of a map. The entrances to other rooms are pretty small, and it can be sorta difficult to actually find them. Along with that, the enemies have a lot of health, either that or your starting gun just isn’t very good. I find myself using the rockets, and just hoping that I find more rockets, or a different weapon. The kamikaze enemies are extremely annoying, as they trail you, and it’s often difficult to turn around and shoot them. Considering that they explode upon death, this makes it almost nigh impossible to kill them without taking damage, after they’ve locked onto you.

I had a great time once I cracked open Pixelpunk XL.

PPXL has super smooth controls, and you feel totally free when flying around, always anticipating what the next room will have in store for you. I played for almost 4 hours straight on the first play, the only thing dragging me away from the screen being my pregnant wife’s request for a run to the local store for food.

The random generation of levels gives a fresh feel to each play, and the option to retry a generated level after losing, or generating a new level is great.

ШХД: ЛЕТО / IT’S SUMMER

ШХД: ЛЕТО / IT’S SUMMER

You just woke up after a midday nap in your country house surrounded by the swishing sound of turntable. You are 8 years old. It’s Summer is an indie video game which genres are “sandbox”, “babushka”, and “midday nap”. The game has neither goal nor sense. There are only you, cheap tea bags with russian tears and the endless yellow field.

The game itself is integral part of the Digital-opera “ШХД: ЛЕТО”. This project also contains a book, LP record, series of digital-art collaborations and something more. ШХД: ЛЕТО is the second and final part of the project ШХД: ЗИМА (It’s Winter).

Super Raft Boat VR

This is the 2nd best free vr game I’ve played, the art style is great, the game play is great (kinda repetitive but I’m not ask a free vr game to do better), music BOPS, action is great, basically everything in this game is great and I really wish more people would see the steam page and play it only thing that could possibly make it better would be multiplayer, but i know its difficult to implement so I’m not gonna beg for it. In conclusion, I think this would be the most popular free vr game if it game as a first result while scrolling through the vr game section of steam.

This is a really cute game with cool music and beautiful art style. Please note that the controls are extremely difficult and frustrating. It took my way too long to complete the game and I had to step away a few times so that I not destroy something out of frustration,. I might just be a noob though lol. Other than that a really cute game as always

A very hard to play game. Control is clunky and there are times it’s so frustrating.

Although the goal is simple, but due to the uncontrollable control, the gaming experience sucks.

I hope it would be relaxing but it was the opposite.

Not nice.

Mushroom Picker Simulator

Mushroom Picker Simulator

Do you have stress in your life, need to find a way to relax? Want to get out of the house closer to nature? Well, this program may be just the thing that you need. It’s a walking simulator through the Boreal Forests named after Boreas the Greek god of the Northwind, full of spruce trees, pine trees, fir trees, interesting little ponds, and hidden crystal clear lakes which are lovingly reproduced for you in splendid detail, you’ll actually feel like that you are walking through one of the National Forests in the Taiga of Russia. You’ll hear the lovely chirping birds, pounding woodpeckers, the squabble of rambunctious squirrels and raccoons, but won’t ever see them, the warning hisses of snakes when you disturb them, the grind of the rocks and pebbles that your intrusion has disrupted, or subtle squishing softness while walking on piles of ancient pine needles, the splash of the water as you walk through it, and the pounding of your boots on the pavement or dirt paths as you explore this beautiful world. I often find myself ducking in front of my computer screen as I go under a tree branch, ha! It’s relaxing but also can be dangerous.

It was a surprise for me that this wonderful game received mostly negative reviews. Listen to nobody. It’s a perfect game. Best way to relax? Just launch this game and let your worries go away.

Or maybe it just reminds me of my childhood cause it was like a mushroom picker simulator itself. Now I live in the desert and can’t venture into deep forests hunting for mushrooms… Only this game helped me to ease my phantom pain for being not able to pick mushrooms. Thank you for creating this game and stuff. Damn, I need to eat some mushrooms now.

Red dust

Red dust

Dev updated easy mode turret reaction times to be much more manageable for my boomer reflex and eyesight and I got around to beating it on easy. Getting better at normal+, still cbt, but you learn to enjoy the pain. Alright game, niche audience. Still needs work, particularly with sanity checks on where things can spawn.

Inspired by Receiver, but hardcore for the wrong reason IMO.

  • The wide open map allows turrets to easily spot and fire on you without any half decent warning outside it’s alerted beep .25sec before it swiss cheeses you. [Dev was kind enough to change this in easy mode, so you can recover from your mistakes. Thank you.]

This game is highly enjoyable but rough around the edges.

Pros:

-Headpat catgirls

-Freely mixable ammo types

-Red dust resource forces some hard decisions

-Good Enemy types that keep you on your toes

Cons:

-Level is a bit too dark even outside an eclipse

-Enemies are hard to detect (They have a dim white searchlight that has no real cone)

-No big indoor complexes to clear

Nitpicks / Nice to haves for Red Dust 2:

-Enemies in RD have a weakpoint but no component failure modes like in Receiver this makes the gun play feel lacking

Sublevel Zero Redux

Sublevel Zero Redux

Amazing game. Brings back fond memories of the mechanics of the Descent series (before Freespace), but with it’s own unique take on the 6DoF (6 degrees of freedom) genre. The feel of the movement and combat is just right, and the game strikes a perfect balance of high speed action and item/resource management of an roguelike rpg. The game rewards skill greatly, and encourages you to conserve your ammo and use each of the many weapon types to their maximum effectiveness. Repair kits are uncommon, and take up vital (and limited) inventory space, so crucial decisions must be made about what to keep and what to leave behind. There is also a surprisingly deep crafting element, allowing you to combine weapons, hulls, and ship components to create new ones. These items, especially weapons and hulls, can dramatically alter your playstyle.

Fantastic game.

This sounds obvious but the best thing about the game is simple feel of moving about the environments and firing the weapons. It is really well nailed, really tight and fortunately this game follows up on that by giving me a depth of reasons and excuses to keep exploring: later levels having new tougher enemies, new environmental hazards to interact with, unlocks and upgrade choices (that often adversely effect something else), a developing crafting system. There are also (and least interestingly) findable text logs that allude to the storyline. All of this feeds into giving you a strong motivation to continue that original gameplay loop that is so satisfying and forms a very tight and efficient experience -considering in 4-5 hours I’m usually not out of the tutorial in a AAA style game.

Very good for what it is, lacking in some areas, but that can easily be fixed with new content in future updates. A very solid base and easily worth the $10 in it’s current state, can’t wait to see what the future holds for this title!

Warning: Somehow the game is not being developed anymore and the Developer appears to not give any kind of message since April.

The game was great and it was evolving with features !

But somehow on the last update is unplayable now for me, because you have no pointer to even select to start the game.

I managed to start it anyway by luck and reached a level where an invisible wall blocks me and the enemies on the other side so basically there is not even a game to play.

So I do not like to post a bad review because the game was really fun when it worked, but right now this is an alert to avoid doing discovering this dissapointment and refund.
