Giants Uprising
I had some problems to start the game at first, but the team quickly helped me with solving my problem via discord. Thanks for that.
So, I think:
-
Game graphics are fantastic, but they need some optimisation for older computers like mine.
-
I really like to walk and explore a bit so some climbing mechanics would be nice
-
The plot and sounds are so nice. I like Kielbasa, but I miss him on the giant’s back. I hope we will see that :)
-
I would like to see some crafting in this game, and to build pancer giant, and be indestructible :D

A little background of myself,
I’ve never seen this game before, and upon looking at new releases, I came across this game minutes after it released. Mind you, since I haven’t been watching the development of this game, I have no prior “hype” of looking forward to this release. So my review is clearly new and unbiased. It is also worth noting, I play on keyboard and mouse for all my games.
My review,
This game is pretty unique. Not completely unique as its gameplay and environment remind me greatly of an old game called Ascend: Hand of Kul. The game puts you into a 3rd person perspective, taking the role of a giant that spawns from the depths of hell and you fight through the worlds to get stronger, level up and use special abilities, and finally, ascent into a greater being. It was multiplayer and had a lot of content, free roam, multiplayer and single player option. Ascend had a lot of development over the years and ended up being a very great game in the end of it all.

Fictorum
Note: I backed the game on Kickstarter, thus having played since the game’s alpha.
Fictorum is, in a word, wonderful. For me, it was the first experience I ever had with magic that actually feels really powerful. Magic that I can throw at a nearby house and watch it get blown to bits. But let’s start from the beginning.
In this game, you are a mage. The last mage of your order, the Fictorum. And you’re pretty mad at the ones responsible for the death of your order, and also pretty powerful. Logical conclusion, annihilate them all. And anyone that might be foolish enough to stand in your way. Or… just annihilate absolutely everything. You can, believe me.

First off, if you want a high production value game with a long indepth story, I would recommend Skyrim or The Witcher. That being said, this game has the best magic based combat I have ever seen.
Spellcasting:
Spells are customizable and modular. You have a spell tome that casts a type of spell and you have runes that you can add to the spell to vastly alter the spell’s properties. These runes can do anything from simply increasing the power of the spell to creating a familiar that casts the spell for you. For example, you can take a spell that calls one lightning ball and change it into a spell that fires 4 lightning balls that each seek out enemies while firing their own lightning bolts. You can also find or buy scrolls. Scrolls act as support spells that cannot be modified but can be applied to armor and accessories. By the way, all buildings are completely destructable and can be used to crush enemies.

DataJack
A sci-fi dive in the 90s, both for the game design + gameplay and for the dystopic cyberpunk concept style.
Gameplay per se is a bit wonky and you have to get used to the stealth mechanics, which are really retro-style by all means.
Still, the game is pretty enjoyable, the atmosphere is right and the lore is well thought out, which you can extrapolate by the mission briefing/debriefings and from the files you download from the terminals, giving the appropriate feeling and background, much alike to the first Deus Ex game.

You are a one man go in and solve the problem type of covert or overt operative whom corporations hire to do their dirty laundry. Covert if you move effortlessly like a ninja from shadow to shadow, crouch like a tiger, and jump like a spider waiting for the right moment to feed needles into the skull of your enemies. Or overt if you prefer the cacophony of machine guns and the smoke C4 makes when you are fed up with doors that don’t greet you with open sesame right at your arrival.
You can even hack systems, steal company data and make some side income by grabbing datacubes and other interesting things that come at your way. And since this is a Cyberpunk/Neuromancer inspired game presumably made by transhumanist wonks who enjoy running around with subdermal chips under their butt-cheeks, replacing limbs and adding subdermal armor and other kinds of protections are also available.

Actraiser Renaissance
First of all, this is a QUINTET remaster. The mere fact that this game exists is a tremendous blessing for a certain cult fanbase.
The obvious bias aside, is the game good?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE
It’s obvious that a lot of faithful effort was put into remastering this game. From including Yuzo Koshiro’s amazing soundtrack and accompaniment to the astounding artwork given to the many characters, menus and intro cutscene. People put their sweat and tears into this, and it shows in that regard.

A great example on how to make a remake. Renaissance does an excellent job of bring the original SNES games action and town sim into a modern era with new graphics, classic and remixed soundtrack, and expanded story that makes you feel more immersed in what was a somewhat bare-bones world before.
The new artwork is great and the story telling is actually quite deep. Everything reads like a positive psalm with the writing really showing some great character development and overall storytelling. Which is good as all the new characters do little gameplay wise. The story is the only way you will interact and learn about the characters and their backstories.

President’s Sniper Shooting
Cheap indie-action-game with not so good graphics and serious sound issues (no gunsounds) in my version. But nevertheless it is fun for some mindless shooting in short sessions. There is not much more to say about the game, just watch my gameplay video and decide for yourself, if you want to spend a bit of money for this.

VR Guardians
VR Guardians is a free to play VR game that is a sword and shield wave survival game. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. There is instruction cards in the lobby for the supported VR sytems. You have two quest to go through. Has 6 steam acheivements that are given out for successful quest completion. Instructions said something about spells, there might be ranged attacks you need to finish the game better. Maybe 10 to 20 minutes of content. I was successful going through the fire quest without knowing what to do, but in the water quest i died. I guess i could try again later.

Secrets of the Lost Tomb
This game was very fun and challenging for a free game. For the company’s first game it was solid and the bugs were minimal. Not really sure what other people are complaining about, the bird puzzle is challenging but not bad. Hope to see more from the devs!!!

tell me the answer to the bird puzzle NOW
So I beat the bird puzzle,
Now I am going to walk into the sea.
This game is absolute, utter bum.

Sherwood Extreme
Sherwood Extreme is a gem in a sea of countless games. I have had the pleasure of being in the closed beta as a QA tester. Sherwood Extreme has a simple yet complex variety of game-play mechanics. The average player will always have fun and the dedicated will always be coming back for more. This game has great potential as it grows in Early Access. In the future, I believe the speed running community will enjoy this game. The developers at CageStudios are people who are passionate about their game. They listen to community feedback and want to make a great game. The developers have built an awesome community on their discord.

even though i have 10 hours in this game i can’t recommend this to people which hurts because i loved the time i spent with it. you play as Walmart robin hood in parkour levels killing enemies with various bows you can get through in game currency. you also have a shield but you’ll probably never use that. let me get the pros outta the way first. 1. the game play loop is fun for awhile till you realize the lack of variety and patterns. 2. there’s a decent amount of cosmetics you can get in game for free. 3. you can make chickens explode. now for the cons. 1. the lack of pretty much anything. 2. while i said the game play loop is fun it’s also incredibly repetitive, dull, and slow even though i think the intentions are for it to be fast. 3. the bugs many times my bow wouldn’t shoot this seemed to only happen in certain area but still was annoying. another bug i noticed was the game crashed a fair bit and if i clicked something to fast that would somehow crash the game as well. 4. the rpg system… man at first i loved it but after awhile it felt like a forced attempt to get people to play longer. what i mean by this is the rpg system really don’t help since in order to “level up” and get skill points you need to grind levels A lot and your reward is so small that it won’t matter till way later. on this same topic leveling up weapons was a slow and honestly boring grind since you can just grind the first level over and over(if you go there with a mission for it it’s even faster). 5. the missions. while they seem cool and fun at first they’re actually pretty dumb. they claim to add tons of variety to each level/mission they don’t. they only change a few minor things. for example traps that are easy to avoid, “different” enemies, etc. i can name more but the point is this game if just a slow, boring grind for nothing of value. oh they also have co-op but since almost nobody even plays it’s pointless. i know i said i don’t recommend this game but if you want something that’s fun-ish and relaxing for a bit give it a try.
