Hijacker Jack : ARCADE FMV
An interesting take on the FMV genre, instead of point n' click type FMV games. (it is still)
It is a pretty decent enough game, but could be better.
Edit : They’ve lowered the price, so in this state, I recommend it.
(This is not a VR game, whoever did tagged that is a dummy.)
My analysis (serious one) :
Controls are confusing, I prefer this control scheme on mobile, but not here.
Pretty impressive for such a low budget project. (atleast better than Stay Dead lol)
But a small nitpick when it comes to the fighting system, the combat system is fine if its actually video game graphics but no, this is a film. The thing is, to progress in the fight scene (I’m talking about the guy in Jasmine’s house), you have to do a specific action, which makes the fight frustrating (especially if you have no hints enabled) because it’s repeating the same thing if you fail to do that specific action.

I can absolutely recommend this game, a couple of hours of fun for 5 EUR. I played with the Android version earlier, but it’s a much better experience on PC. (improved video quality and controls)
The gameplay is smooth and the action scenes are amazing :)

Moral King
The first thing caught my attention is the size of the game. 10GB is really huge, but since it is an FMV (full motion video) it is understandable. Usually, when games use real actors in their cutscenes it doesn’t turn out well, however, in Moral King, the game looked great, especially that it has most of the Point&Click elements. You play as a young man who was enjoying his afternoon with his girlfriend before two armored men attacked him and abducted her. He asked around and found out that she is locked up in a castle guarded by a powerful guard.

The worst part of this game is that it ends too soon man. 10/10 amazing. Top tier acting. Top tier storyline. Compelling plot. I wish I could relive today just to replay this game through the raw experience it deserves. Definitely pick this one up. 3 3 3

Erica
Erica is a beautifully designed and well performed movie choice style video game. The cast, story, and production was all executed superbly, leaving my only complaint being that I would like to enjoy more of it. This is more of a compliment that a complete game has that reaction, but here we are.
The story has a lot of twists and turns, despite being about as long as a motion picture film (approximately 130 minutes). The writing was well done, giving the cast a good structured story to work with. The acting was brilliant, and definitely performed a very believable and enrapturing experience. Upon reaching the conclusion, I am left with many questions. I will not go into spoilers, but I am hoping for more to come, and to include some elaboration on the events that transpired up to this point. I am also going to enjoy taking all of the other options available in follow plays through, and seeing if that clears up any of those questions. I will be taking every single option that I can.

Best game I have ever played. This is just a next generation of FMV games and even more impressing is the fact that only 6-8 people were making this masterpiece without actors included. Great job Jack, Pavle and Holly. Hope we will see more games from you.

These games are so fun and a really cool way to watch movies I have never seen before. I also really like that I can choose what ending the movie has. I look forward to playing more Rough Kuts games.

Bloodshore
Just finished the first run, and got a well-deserved bromance ending. The production value of this FMV game is a lot higher than previous Wales Interactive games. We have certainly came a long way from their earlier works like Late Shift.
This game is exactly what I wanted from a battle royale movie - bloody, campy, morally grey characters, and full of plot twists. They must have a bigger budget this time because the camera work feel really professional, and the scenes are beautifully shot.
My first run took about 90 minutes to complete, and the final ending screen shows I saw about 60 scenes out of 250, so I am guessing there’s probably another two or three routes I can play through.

More interesting reviews on Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page
The game of survival in some lost island-wooded area begins, and you are still its living protagonist. If we look for the closest comparisons, then not even the film “The Running Man” comes to mind, but the film “The Hunt” (2020), the mood of these two projects is quite similar. Although «Bloodshore» is less subtle in handling irony, preferring to use black humor in a more straightforward manner, overall it conveys very faithfully the analysis of social problems centered on a small piece of territory. FMV genre allows you to fully immerse the player in the atmosphere of survival, giving him the opportunity to fully choose his own path. And in terms of choosing a path, the game takes a big step forward compared to some of the latest projects of the publisher, here you actually feel the ramification of many plot routes, and the endings feel very different. Yes, it seemed to me that some of the script opportunities were not fully used (this concerns the breaking storylines of Otts and Gavin; the much larger use of a potential collision with “death row prisoners”; the greater influence of “cowardly” behavior on various events). The characters very vividly recreate the atmosphere of the B-movie, where deliberate grotesqueness is intertwined with swanky fun. The main character is generally very charming, playing for him is very exciting; the actor coped with his task cool. The plot twists are varied, several times I caught myself thinking that I am really surprised at some moments. As for the special effects and gunshots… Let’s just say, write off their nondescriptness to the fact that in this the game is trying to be similar to B-movies. I was glad that this time there is no need to wait for any patches to skip previously viewed scenes, the TAB key helps to significantly speed up replay.

The Dark Side of the Moon: An Interactive FMV Thriller
Well what I can say. I am one of those who backed Tayanna Studios for a long time and knew he would have a brilliant project to come out and I got to say.
You play as Dean Hamilton who has had his kids Ruby and Andy kipnapped and you have to find them and bring them back home but you find out it is not that simple. Dean Hamilton is played by Darren Hall who is an auteur for this project and got to give him real credit and super love on this.
This is a really good game with a great story. It mixes FMV gameplay and point & click gameplay really well. The game is really basic which could turn off people but I think it is needed especially with this story as the main focus is on the gameplay and acting.

It was a boring Friday night …
I could find nothing to watch on TV.
A friend told me about this so I peeked and then purchased.
I launched it only to make sure it ran properly :-) – it did. Then I looked up, it was two hours later, I was almost halfway through. I was hooked and quite immersed in the story.

The game page description is accurate so I won’t repeat it.

This reminded me of Carol Reed games, but instead of conventional movement you easily click a box to move.

I enjoy the settings and parkour aspect of the game. The negative reviews in my opinion are pretty harsh, it is a free game after all. The game ran fine on my setup. The controls need some work but overall a good game.

Star Control III
This game gets a lot of flak for not being Star Control II. However, on the whole it plays very well. The diplomatic puzzles are of the same calibre if not better, the Story is pretty much exactly where you’d expect the story to continue from the last game. On the whole, it’s pretty fun.
There are a few things in the game that disappoint, and on a replay 25 years after I originally played it, the come off as little more then a game that was rushed to market. Land grinding has been replaced with a colony building system which feels like they were trying to (poorly) copy civilization games (or maybe master of Orion?) games of the day. But managing colonies does little to speed the game along other then sacrificing ship production for fuel production if you manage to run out of gas. And that’s all the part of the game ads up to: establishing little more then an inter-stellar network of fuelling stations. There’s a lot of potential in this, but rather then fun at all it’s a meaningless chore and a distraction.

Like Star Control: Origins is a reinvention of Star Control II, Star Control 3 was (and is) a bad, mid-90s attempt to re-invent the original Star Control. I’m a big fan of the Star Control series and played them as a kid starting with SC1 in the early 90’s.
Gone is the Hyperspace with galactic borders of SCII and in comes the 3D starmap and colony building of Star Control 1, re-imagined with Accolade’s attempt at the “hyper realism” that was in vogue in the mid-late 90s. Colors, music, and art is all muted and gray, set in a new quadrant devoid of all life.
