The Sickle Upon Sekigahara
This game caught my eye (price) and I thought I would give it a try because I love the lore from Japan’s feudal period. The art is ok. The story however seems weak and very much from the perspective of “western” eyes than those from that time period. However the nail in the coffin for me is how horrible the character is that you are given to experience. As much as I tried I could not relate to or have any empathy for the whiny and pathetic character who’s choices don’t really matter. If there was an option for my character to commit seppuku I would have done so immediately!!! I would not recommend anyone else have to sit through this. It is a shame since this game could have had some potential.

Serious Sam… with a weird girl following you around
Pros: Good graphics
Gun modifications
Open World
The bullet-time is pretty dope
Some RPG elements
Cons: The RPG elements (skills, leveling, etc.) can be a lot better
Mindless waves of enemies spawning all around you
Needs more guns (like a sniper, shotgun, hand cannon, etc.)
Enemies have aim-bot like a mofo
The building mechanic needs work, as it’s unwieldy
Is it the best game ever? No… but is Serious Sam the best game ever? No, it’s not either. I’d really just compare this game to being a slightly worse Serious Sam… so for the price, it’s good if you’re looking for a game similar to Serious Sam.

41hrs Review
Its hard to give a review for this game as i did receive it for free via gift purchase from my brother and also this a game made by a small team and by what i can see and feel when playing the game they did not have a AAA budget.
So i finished the game on the pro skill level took me just over 7hrs to finish but keep in mind i have played tons of first person shooters and tend to finish games quite quick. I liked the game it has some frustrating moments which i will get too but overall its quite decent and for $20 bucks aussie dollars its not bad value.

Building 847
A short but thoroughly enjoyable indie storytelling experience!
I wasn’t sure I’d get through it in one sitting, but I found the ambiance very compelling and surprisingly tasteful in all its lighting and sound effects, so I couldn’t stop until the end. Overall, the writing does a great job at introducing what ended up being a rather intriguing story, so it was easy to follow along even without any voice acting.
Very promising. Looking forward for future titles from these devs!

The ambience of this game is through the roof!
Sound quality is good, it really sells you the mystery and the thriller inducing chills imo.
Now i will be describing some of the good and some of the problems and i don’t want to spoil things so play the game 1st then read the next part.
! Some pros:
! * I already told this but the ambience this game delivers is really good from the sound quality and overall gloomy and dark atmosphere really gives this game a boost.* I love detective/mystery games and if there’s a slight thriller/horror vibe to it i love it even more (e.g of games i love detective wise (sam and max, monkey island, the sinking city, wolf among us, the long reach, the last door series, disco elisium etc)).
