DARK AROUND YOU
Not a bad game, with nice graphics and pleasant gameplay. Played for a couple of hours and it was worth it.

Dark Around You is yet another 2D retro pixel platformer polluting the Steam marketplace. This one has a telekinesis gimmick where you can drag things around with the mouse pointer to help you do the platforming.
While this was built in Unity, it doesn’t seem like an asset flip as there’s a bespoke story and some pretty uniquely done mechanics and visuals. Kudos to the developer for that.
They chose to use obsolete retro pixel “art” as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It’s unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. There’s a really unpleasant screen filter/effect that makes the camera sway as you move around, it made me feel a bit queasy, and I couldn’t see any way to turn that off. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

Dizzy Two
So there’s a DIzzy game on Steam! Not really clear what the involvement of Codemasters, the Oliver Twins or whoever owns Dizzy these days is, but I’m accepting this in good faith.
This is a fairly typical Dizzy arcade adventure, resembling the 16-bit versions with full colour graphics rather than the black sky 8-bit originals. It starts out in an actual house instead of one of those treehouse things, seeming to put Dizzy in more of a realistic setting than usual. I’ve played for a bit and found some annoying platform-jumping bits where you’ll struggle for a while just to get back to where you started… Which is, of course, totally on brand for Dizzy. The puzzles I’ve encountered so far make sense; if anything they’re a bit too obvious.

Whispers in the Dark
The author was definitely trying to scare me, well, he did it. The game turned out to be quite original, but with some technical flaws. It’s too dark and a lame flashlight that doesn’t shine a damn thing.

I really enjoyed this game. It wasn’t super scary but had a good horror atmosphere throughout it. The story was also pretty good as well. It was still rough in a few spots and I think it could benefit from a note or something at the beginning that lets you know the controls like crouch, interact, and tasks. Overall for the price I would recommend this game. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video below.

Move around and pick up boxes… wait is that all you can do?
-
Use your brain… wait but I can already do that in real life…
-
Atleast we have original art and soundtrack… I suppose.
Francisca 2
The hide and seek mechanics are weird. It seems like the ghost girl AI just hones onto the player most of the time. And this is on day one of the game. One time she was inside the house upstairs looking for me because the game before I was upstairs in the last bedroom where she always found me. So I think she was looking where I was the last game but I tried hiding in the garage. After that she always found me in the garage. She was close enough that I could see her through a window in the garage door but yet there was no danger sound.

Happy Day
As a fan of these games, I was disappointed about this one. It’s a tiny map and there’s basically nothing to do. All you do is just wish your neighbors a Merry Christmas and kill them with snowballs or guns or just explode them. The ammo on the guns run out very quickly too. You could also just explode the town straight away and there would be nothing left. Usually if you even try to explode something it freezes and crashes. Even though it’s cheap it’s still not worth the money.

Game too laggy and crashed most of the time. Playing on Acer Nitro 5 with NVidia GTX 1650.
