Never Fight the Same Battle Twice
In The Anacrusis, the AI Driver controls every aspect of the game. It spawns every enemy, directs each boss, and places every weapon, gadget, and health kit. No matter your skill level, you’ll find the perfect level of challenge. More than that, the AI Driver creates the kinds of video game moments that you can’t wait to tell your friends about.
Fight Aliens Using Fantastical Weapons
Battle the alien menace using an astounding arsenal of classic sci-fi weapons. Buy yourself some time with a stasis grenade, toss a shield grenade to provide instant cover while you pop off a heal, and bring your friends back to life using the Respawner. Or throw caution to the wind and burn friend and foe alike with the laser rifle.
Earn New Perks and Change the Way You Play
Matter compilers spread throughout the game give you access to dozens of perks that will change the way you play. Stack all of your upgrades to power up the last-resort pistol or boost your defense by supercharging your shield pulse. Unlock new perks as you play, and share your unlocks with everyone on your team!
Survive the Alien Infestation!
In the distant future, mighty corporations have carried humanity to the fringes of the galaxy. After expanding unfettered across tens of thousands of systems–all devoid of intelligent life–humanity has grown complacent, until disaster strikes. Work together and survive the alien hordes!
A Fight For Survival Is Just the Beginning
The first season of The Anacrusis tells the story of four unlikely survivors–Nessa, Guion, Liu, and Lance–who are unwilling combatants in the battle to defend humanity from the alien menace. Play more and unlock more of the unfolding mystery of the alien attack.

Messiah
The game itself is fine, a problem solving sabotage game where careful platforming and finding the right item to progress (in this case often bodies) passed each new hurdle is a welcome throw-back to when puzzle games were about retracing the developer’s logic for any given situation. Quite a few bits of dark-humor as well - I do love that game overcomes the God-can-do-anything protagonist problem by making God only just caring enough about the planet to be slightly annoyed by a dystopia - balanced out by a wide-eyed, though homicidal, angel as your player avatar. Really I should love this. So why am I not recommending it? The GAME DOES NOT WORK passed a certain point, the technical support for the game is all long since gone and so if you buy this game, you are only buying the first 2ish levels of it. Have what fun you can with what is there, but know there will be no end-game for your purchase.

Ever wanted to be a little frog?
Sounds nice and relaxing right?
Well you’re wrong!
It’s hardcore survival. It’s kill or be killed.
Frogworld is an intense survival horror in which you must avoid many predators that won’t hesitate to end your life, in turn you must also not hesitate to take the life of your own prey so you’re strong enough to survive. There are no checkpoints in the levels which really ramps up the intensity of encounters.
Genuinely scary, particularly if you are afraid of snakes, fish, birds, turtles, ants or cars.

Minotaur Maze
Oh no! The Minotaur got me… I’ll have to play until I find a proper shotgun!
– Real player with 0.7 hrs in game
I’d recommend this game, it’s a nice little dungeon runner game.
Your goal is to navigate through mazes to rescue the princess and then …
The controls are simple and effective, you can adjust your camera angle too if needed.
You go through seven different mazes while the Minotaur is hunting you too.
Each maze gets bigger and the Minotaur becomes faster.
The game fullfills what it has announced, it has nice music and audio and a pleasant looking artstyle.
And it’s free.
Overall, i think it’s a nice little game to spend time on, relatively short depending on your pace but the Minotaur might surprises you around a corner.

The Corridor: On Behalf Of The Dead
I truly enjoyed playing this game. The atmosphere was what kept me going to explore and discover more of what was going on here. If you liked playing Observer and Soma this game is right along those lines but with it’s own twist. It’s got a nice flavor of creepiness without resorting to jump scares to make you feel uneasy. . The ending is with a ‘to be continued’ tag and I do hope that there will be more game play to follow. Achievements are available which if you try to complete them will aid you in solving more of the mystery.

The Corridor: On Behalf Of The Dead is a story based Sci-Fi / Horror game that focuses mostly on setting a strong unsettling atmosphere while adding sci-fi elements around it.
You spend most of the game walking around exploring memories and piecing together the story. The cohesion system really works well and adds a nice survival mechanic.
Audio is relay nice too and adds a disturbing layer to the experience.

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.
– Real player with 79.2 hrs in game
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.
