Beyond Tokyo

Beyond Tokyo

I won’t give it a thumbs down as I liked the concept, and the performance was mediocre (so I’ll give it a thumbs up since that’s the only other option to thumbs down)… However, I can’t really recommend it very much: navigation awkward, videos extremely blurry, keep traveling through walls and need to restart. Concept sounded good, but the execution felt very lacking, and there was very little coherency. Gameplay was minimal and content extremely limited. Felt more like a partially completed demo version

Pretty interesting to see bits of “real Japan” in 360 videos. I like the ability to roam around and find out about interesting “factoids” or mini stories along the way that I didn’t know before. “Flying up” to the rooftop was fun (pretty chill up there by the way). I’ve heard of Hachiko, but “going through” his story here makes me want to watch the original movie and visit the Hachiko Statue when I have money to go to Japan one day.

Distant Memoraĵo

I can’t say it’s the best among all the Yuri game i have played, but it is indeed the mostly anticipated. The characters are so cute.

Distant Memoraĵo presents a dramatic story between Rin and Ruka and a heart-warming past between Ruka and Rei. The beautiful element of The Expression Amrilato series in its narrative is the language barrier that exists to separate Rin from Ruka while highlighting Rin’s homesickness from time to time. Although, you might feel disappointed with the lack of Juliamo lessons which has been one of the main features of the previous installment. Nevertheless, Distant Memoraĵo has beautifully emphasized Rin and Rei’s emotions by putting Ruka as their common interests.

Lingotopia

Lingotopia

As with the release day of any game, the game is very buggy at the moment and that should almost be expected as it happens to all games. What doesn’t happen for all games though, is having an understanding and dedicated developer who will listen to every complaint and work towards fixing things quickly. Playing through the game for the first time I reported every bug I found, and got an acknowledgement of it and effort toward fixing it. So I am sure this game will work out its bugs and polish up considerably in the future.

Re-Review:

I chose a language that I have really no clue of whatsoever, chinese. It is really a different approach than I am used to, I knew what I was getting into, but the scenario still left me feeling helpless at the beginning. I can’t say that I feel the game to be boring or upsetting, it’s actually rather enjoyable, especially when I come across some musicians and watch the character sway with the music.

Character is now mobile and doesn’t get stuck. Everywhere the guiding hare goes, the player character can go, too. Controls are now how I am used to them (and in relation to the camera).

Math Rescue

Math Rescue

It’s a very fun MS-DOS Childhood game of mine for Kids & Adults alike to play. The Gruzzles are up to no good again. This time around, they’re stealing all the world’s numbers leaving Street Signs, Checkbooks & other Number Resources Blank! Benny Butterfly needs your help once more to slime the Gruzzles & reclaim all the world’s stolen numbers.

Both Word Rescue & Math Rescue are excellent choices for younger children… though us older kids will still find them entertaining. They are difficult to keep playing.

Math Rescue is an ancient family friendly Apogee shareware 2D platformer/educational word quiz game. Jump around a charming undersea environment (somehow without drowning), collecting various objects for points, triggering occasional arithmetic and word problems to solve, to make learning fun!

While the effort to make an educational platformer is noble, this game is simply far too dated to be recommendable for that purpose, or for the purpose of fun, either, the DosBOX platforming is clunky and laggy. The real problem here is that we all know this is abandonware, the publisher has no intention to patch or modernise the game, but they’re gouging a rather hefty price ($7.50!) for it anyway. It’s pure greed.

Once Upon a Sea

Once Upon a Sea

Once Upon a Sea is a poetic, interactive XR documentary telling the tragic tale of the legendary Dead Sea. Through a physical exploration of the sea’s forbidden, moonlike landscapes, to intimate encounters with local characters, the user gets a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most dangerous, soon to be extinct, wonders. Centuries of human intervention and political neglect have turned the Dead Sea into a precarious place. Its water levels have dropped dramatically, leaving behind sinkholes and collapsing beaches. The experience offers a deep insight into the complexity and very human impact of this ecological and geopolitical crisis. Once Upon a Sea is our call to action.

Pedro’s Adventures in Spanish [Learn Spanish]

Pedro’s Adventures in Spanish [Learn Spanish]

Very simple, suitable for learning Spanish in a fun way; the graphics are in 2D but detailed enough so that you can see the details well.

The game has a plot that you have to follow, you play the young Pedro, the story starts with a beautiful princess who is kidnapped, but who took her? and where did it go?

You have to help Pedro to get to the Castle to find the princess and bring her back home.

There is no translation, but only the Spanish language, there is a tutorial that helps you at the beginning, it is quite easy to understand because we can associate the words with the objects we see or the actions we have to perform.

Hola soy Pedro.

I started this game knowing not a single word of Spanish but after persisting I was gradually able to work out a lot of the key words. You can just click around and try and do the puzzles without trying to figure out what people are telling you but I soon got stuck with this approach. Spending a bit of time in the world you will find obvious clues that people tell you. Sometimes they just outright tell you what to do which you can miss if you are not carefully listening. Music in the game is really relaxing and reminds me of Activate Jetpack cross with a JRPG.

Self Reliance 自我性赖

Self Reliance 自我性赖

Ok, this game definitely has potential, but it definitely missed the mark as you continue playing the game. Chapter 2 (the STDs chapter) seemed a bit…homophobic (not exactly, but it definitely did feel as if they were trying to pin AIDs on only homosexual sex HOWEVER with a couple options, it did a better job explaining their actual intentions). Either way, I wasn’t a fan of Chapter 2 for multiple reasons. It seemed that I got stuck in a loop after choosing to have sex without a condom and when you start to feel sick (it just made me keep replaying the chapter). Also, after choosing to consent and use the condom, you still are raped, so both options lead you to the same option (this obviously isn’t intentional, as I saw the consentual scene during one of the loops the game had me in). After that, the game isn’t exactly playable (to both chinese and non-chinese speakers). Chapter 3 has no translations, Chapter 4 doesn’t even have the choice options in any language (you only see "" for every choice), Chapter 5 has no english translations AND has some options that are only marked with “”. Overall, there are parts in the game with no English translations (such as the summaries).

This game is very bugged in the English version. 4 achievements won’t unlock and the text (on choices) doesn’t appear.
