I found this game out of the blue, and thought I’d play it, little did I know I’d fall in love with it. I found most of the characters enjoyable, and the humbleness of each of them admirable, though some were more….selfish. I extremely recommend playing this cute, Korean-styled point-and-click adventure game. If I was to point out a downside, there was a lot of back and forth in the final quest, but regardless, it’s able to be beaten within 2 hours.

Very relaxing point and click game over Korean mythology.
Dragons dancing to music was probably the best part in the game.
also what was that large white figure in the darkness you see after talking to the lost crane sibling and faceless animal?

ZED
TL;DR: Buy this game. It’s worth every penny.
I have come to enjoy conversing with the Eagre team on Discord, and I can say these are fantastic people with a real passion for what they do. I sincerely hope they keep on creating. I’m going to list out what I felt the pros and cons of ZED are. Mind you, this is from my own experience. Everyone has things they like and dislike, and this is just my case. I played through the entire thing in VR on an Oculus Rift, and I was not a Kickstarter backer, so I bought ZED at full price on the day of release.

I was unaware of this game until it hit Steam. Prior to purchasing, I read many reviews, some positive and others negative. I decided to give this game a chance since I’m not much of a shoot ‘em up type of player and am always searching for something different, enjoyable and relaxing. After purchasing and the start of play, I encountered some issues that were quickly resolved by the creators which then enabled me to play through the game. Currently I am not a VR player, maybe one day. My review is strictly PC based.

Guard Duty
Did not enjoy the gameplay even for a moment. Pains me to say it, because the graphics and animation were superb. The story was forgettable (I spent the first hour looking for my pants), and the voice acting was just okay (though plentiful).
Besides the fact that I was never invested in the story or the characters, this point and click adventure used a bunch of gameplay conventions that drove me crazy. Sometimes, there will be a scene where the landscape extends past the monitor, which is only visible by first walking to the boarder. Then, there would be scenes where items were inaccessible until something else happened, but there were no indicators that there were a new object hotspot. And lastly, the interaction of objects was not consistent, even the same object might be inaccessible at one time then be able to be pushed a few moments later.

The adventure game genre seems a little oversaturated with somber detective stories. As much as I enjoy those, I love nothing more than some good laughs, some vibrant colors - and I’m a sucker for cartoons! Guard Duty fills that void on all counts.
It harkens back to gems of lo-res point&click comedy such as Simon the Sorcerer or Discworld. It’s got that lively, colorful, cartoony art and animation that’s just joy to these tired eyes. It’s crisp & elegant, with a well-chosen palette. Story-wise it might also remind you of the classic Discworld - as you assume the role of a member of the town guard. There’s magic, orcs and monsters, too! And time travel! If you enjoyed Sir Terry’s imaginative worlds (both the fantastic and the earlier sci-fi) & his sharp wit, you’ll be right at home - like in the novels, the main goal is simple: “Save the princess. Save the world”, but what elevates it is the characters, the interactions, and the humor. There’s some genuinely endearing slapstick, a few nods to the genre classics (concentrated in one spot mostly), but my favorite was the multi-layered bits, saturated with meta relating to modern culture, and even gaming. On the flipside - the game gets significantly darker when the main antagonist surfaces. Tondbert only gets glimpses of this dark side - but then, in the last act, we are transported into a bleak neon-lit future. Think Blade Runner or Terminator. It still manages to throw in a few jokes, and there’s your token geeky hacker girl to lighten up the mood - but other than that, it’s pretty straightforward sci-fi/cyberpunk. This bit feels shorter - with not much world to explore - but it makes sense. For one, given the situation, the world of the future wouldn’t be very lively & interesting to just roam around. Two: there’s been enough build-up, time for some decissive action!

Lots of things are quite funny about this game.
First and foremost, searching through the few games published by this developer you’ll read about Legacy of Medieval (is this even English?) which has a precise release date: November 25th, 2021.
I’m writing as of the first half of 2018, so well.. at least we’ve got some precision here. Not the usual “within some months” or simply “in arrivo” (wondering how’s translated that in English, since I use the Steam client in Italian.. probably like “incoming, we don’t know when but eventually it will become purchasable”). No, we’ve got to wait for 4 years but surely it will be worth it.

Fun little game with silly contents mostly inspired by Japanese Anime, but still, funny for those who understood the source. The Game though is said to be only Episode 1, seems to be the one and only episode since it’s been out for years. The graphic is pointy with as few polygons as possible on a 3D object, the story is silly, the music is pretty relaxing and funky (island style) and the atmosphere sound effect can be really relaxing if you like the sound of a beach.
Game itself is super short if you aren’t into finding all the dialog and hidden objects in the game (those that doesn’t light up by the hint), some NPCs only pops up after a certain requirement is met and they give more ideas on the lore of the game…. but all in all, it’s still a silly little game built mostly for fun with a fun mindset, so since the makers doesn’t take it seriously we the player should just do the same and have fun without too much thought about its future.

Landflix Odyssey
2020 Speedy Review Cleanup
Do I highly recommend this game? No.
But Landflix Odyssey is interesting solely for its parody aspects about the shows. Each show has its own mechanics so that it doesn’t feel like you’re doing the same thing throughout the game.
Worth a try on sale if you’re interested in the show aspects. If you don’t care about the shows, probably look elsewhere.

Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-
Hoshizora no Memoria is almost a perfect visual novel game. It has a hilarious and very relatable plot which will get you instantly hooked. The game has a lot of comedy in it; the common route provides you with running gags, while the character routes freshen up the game with new comedy elements. When I first read the beginning of the secret heroine’s route I was pretty much crying with laughter. The game does also play with your emotions as well, however.
The translation of the game is pretty good, although there are many errors and goofs, such as spelling and grammar errors, a small number of untranslated lines (there’s only about five or six of them, however, so not that many) and other general mistakes, such as “Hisakaki” instead of “Hibarigasaki”. Apparently these errors will be fixed and reworked in the upcoming package release.

Highly recommended! I thoroughly enjoyed this VN. It was quite lengthy, (therefore a great value for the money), has excellent character development, beautiful character design, entertaining sci-fi elements, and one of the heroines is obviously the designated comic relief. (She doesn’t disappoint!) I will also warn you right now that there will be a lot of real life people standing next to you chopping up an endless supply of onions while you play this game, especially during the last 2 unlockable routes.

Memory’s Dogma CODE:01
So, imagine you see a luscious, appetizing cake, copious amounts of fluffy white cream topped with a juicy, plump strawberry beckoning you to taste it. You take a knife, cut yourself a slice, and lo and behold, to your delight, you see a layer of chocolate cream sandwiched between the two layers of sponge cake making up the treat. Mouth watering, you spear a piece on a fork, carry it to your mouth, anticipating the sweetness about to bloom on your tongue, only to discover the chocolate cream is, in fact, dog shit, what you thought was sponge cake is just regular dish-scrubbing sponge, and the strawberry is plastic. The whipped cream is the real deal, but will that make you feel any better? Memory’s Dogma is in fact just that: an attempt to pass a pile of garbage off as something appealing, at least outwardly. The core of it is completely rotten though.

Short story, most people will be able to complete it within 2-3 hours or less.
The story is actually rather generic anime plot and predictable, but I still enjoyed the content nevertheless. Just come in with low expectations and have the characters, environment, and music immerse you, since those are the selling points rather than the story itself. Art and CG is very good.
However, there’s a particular scene (actually, a character) that didn’t make any sense to me. Felt it was extremely forced drama. But if I rambled on about this character or this scene in particular, it would be spoilers. This character’s motivations are basically illogical and the story doesn’t give them a chance to redeem themselves and the point of this scene. Felt like it was just there to create some delusional pain or attempt to frighten the audience, but it didn’t quite work on me. This scene could’ve been much better but they failed to execute.

The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain
If you are a fan of good old fashioned point and click, inventory-based adventure games, this is really one for you. It is funny, well written and has excellent graphics and voice acting. The puzzles are challenging, but not too difficult and well integrated in the story, as they should be in a true adventure game.
With all those walking simulators around, they dont make many games in this genre anymore. I think it is importent that we support developers, who still make games like this one.

So a few months ago I played “The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain” on Switch and thought it was a good little adventure game. And then one day, the developer asked if I wanted to try the Steam version and I thought that was really nice. Most of my points from the Switch version are still there such as:
-Tells you exactly what you you have to do and item hints are very clear. Like saying looks like Auto so it’s one of the keys to get him back
-As amateur as it is, I find the art style charming
-Has a final boss.

The Mims Beginning
The Mims Beginning Review
The Mims Beginning is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stagnate gaming pool. At first glance, the game may look light and simple but very quickly you begin to see that this is a deep, well-designed strategy/god-mode game. The graphics are very detailed, the artwork is beautiful, the mechanics are flawless. If you think that because its a god-mode strategy game that it will be boring, then guess again. There is plenty of action/activities to keep you busy without having to micro-manage your units and economy. Research will increase the options and powers available during gameplay while continuing to upgrade and expand your alien colony. For any strategy gaming fan, I strongly recommend picking this game up. Most games are only moderately worth their sale prices, especially indie games. But this game is well worth the full price.

The Mims Beginning
DISCLAIMER: I received this product for no cost for the purpose of reviewing. However, this does not affect my views and opinions of the game.
The Mims Beginning reminds me a lot of the game “Spore”, mostly because of the art-style, but also because they’re both game about managing a tribe of alien lifeforms to complete certain goals. I won’t reveal too much about the story but basically you are a god of some-sort going from island to island, creating living conditions, protection and technology for the lost Mims. You, as the god, have various powers and abilities to aid the Mims as well. Like most real time strategy god games, The Mims Beginning has other elements implemented into game like structure/city building, unit and resource management, as well as upgrading buildings and units. There are two game modes, the campaign and survival.
