螢幕判官 Behind the Screen

螢幕判官 Behind the Screen

I liked this game a lot more than I was expecting to. Honestly from the pictures, it just seemed like a bizarre fantasy game with a very imaginative child protagonist, but the story is much deeper and darker than what I had imagined. The story has you experiencing the formative memories of a convicted murderer, but you learn that the story presented is not what it seems to be. And the main character’s life had been a series of unfortunate tragedies. There is a constant theme of abuse within the relationship of the protagonist and his father who is both emotionally distant and abusive. Each section of the game deals with a different period of the child’s life and your method of progressing and the game play itself changes. It’s a very neat concept and eliminates a feeling of repetitiveness you may get from similar types of games. You grow attached and you want to see the hero become successful and overcome all the difficulties you faced. It’s an unfortunately grim game but well told and worth playing.

Real player with 10.2 hrs in game

One of the few great little indie game you’ll play. One of those who’ll mark you and make you think about your own life.

Even if it have 3 to 5 hours of gameplay, you will think about it for the next 10 hours.

I definitely recommand it. Play that game.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

Ys IX - Monstrum Nox does not reach the level of masterpiece that is Ys VIII - Lacrimosa of Dana, but it is still a solid, great fun adventure to dive in, and a good stopping point to look back, reflect on how far the series has evolved before the next stage.

For newcomers, I think you should wait for sales, for the price to properly reflects its quality, as you pay more than VIII yet receive lesser. But Ys fans? Well, it’s up to your generosity whether to hit it now or later.

Final Score is 8.5/10 – Great

Real player with 200.1 hrs in game

I cannot not recommend this.

1- It’s a Falcom Game and all their games are labours of love.

2- It’s the next installment of the Ys franchise and Ys is the Gold standard for Action-Adventure Games. That means it’s got fast-paced combat, exploration and a ton of quality of life stuff to keep you from getting bored.

3- The Falcom Sound Team jdk have another fantastic music score, check out their Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz7eke4JGlbtc11_6mmA7ew

“We sure can have a lot of stuff! We can even have nothing!”

~Mikhail Zhvanetsky

Letande vs. crappy Russian RPGs! Round 999! FIGHT!!! Seriously, though. When it’s about crappy Russian (also, Ukrainian) role-playing games, I’m a freakin' veteran. I’ve played and finished pretty much everything there was – from Заклятие (Spells of Gold) to Талисман (Talisman, an RPG in Slavic setting from 2003, not to be confused with German point-and-click adventure from 1995 and Nomad Games' adaptation of Game Workshop’s tabletop game). To be honest, though, I didn’t expect any new games of the kind. I mean, something like that? It was possible only during the very certain time period. A period, when majority of the Russian people didn’t have access to Internet connection and it was possible to sell pretty much any crap to them for the price of proper products. Games like Орда: Северный Ветер (Horde: Northern Wind) were possible only because there was no YouTube to show people what they’ll actually get for their money. The more accessible Internet became – the less of such games we’ve got. The lest one of the kind I’ve played was, I believe, Ukrainian Заговор Тёмной Башни (Dark Tower Conspiracy, AKA Dungeon Quest) in 2006. After that? All those wannabe developers switched to mobile games. Which are not nearly as fun to suffer through.

Well, I have no idea who made English translation , but he must be executed.

For rest of the game - world and soundtrack combined are TASTY , pleasure for my eyes and ears for this price. Blood is shameful though, combat - found it funny, but only for 3 hours not more.

7/10 for Indie like that. Trash cause of translation, but good enough for that money and I still understood the story.

古剑奇谭三(Gujian3)

古剑奇谭三(Gujian3)

After series of disappointments to find a decent story-driven RPG among modern games and tired of replaying classics I’ve decided to give a chance to a Chinese RPG. So I’ve bought Gujian3 and… put it aside after the first mission considering it to be some mediocre slasher. Last year I gave a go to another Chinese RPG - Xuan-Yuan Sword VII and was relatively satisfied by its story ang gameplay. After that I checked my Steam library and found long-forgotten Gujian3. Struggling to drop it during the first mission I’ve reached Skyelk and finally found what I seek in games - a decent RPG with involving story and interesting characters. And it appeared to be so involving that became my “second reality” for two weeks. Thorough gameplay took 100+ hours and almost none was boring.

This review has no spoilers and is very long.

Before you buy it, you should know this game is heavily story-driven and exploration-based. If you are a gamer that like exploration, collecting rewards, and/or storytelling, you are in for a treat!

This single-player game does require internet connection to run. This very inconvenient function might have something to do with IP protection during its initial release in China to prevent pirated copies. Unfortunately, the IP protection was carried over to the Steam version, likely because the developer wasn’t planning to release the game in English during its initial release in 2018.

Pulut Adventure RPG

Pulut Adventure RPG

This game is not finished. What little bit i was able to play made very little sense, the controls are not good, the dialogue is nigh incomprehensible, and the game didn’t know what text to put up and just said something to the effect of “cannot read null” and locked up, never to be functional again. I got this game in a giveaway, so at least I didn’t lose more that about a half hour of my life that i can’t get back, but I’m gonna give Pulut Adventure a hard no. (Unless the dialogue can be fixed and the game actually finished… maybe I’d try it once more, but it doesn’t seem likely.)
