Cute pictures (I’m still on the first one) I chose max ### pieces 580 in the new ‘chess piece’ cut with no picture shown. Wow, it is actually a challenge! No traditional edge pieces! I love it My main problem with most OTHER jigsaw games I’ve played is that even on their max difficulty they are way too easy some don’t even let you choose not to see the picture in advance. Here the story tickles my funny bone so far. My only complaint is the music got on my nerves after about 3 repeats (it’s a cheesy b-western movie theme) but I muted it and am playing my own play list to relax with. They have some nice touches like a sorting drawer and dark mode. I Love it cause it is quite difficult and for under $2 I know I’ll get my monies worth! If you like easier you can opt to see the picture, use way fewer pieces, have traditional cut pieces and highlight edge pieces.

Heat
I think finally I’ve played enough time to make a solid review of HEAT.
I’ll be changing/updating this review in the future if needed, since the game is still a work-in-progress.
Like to read???
Heat is a survival sandbox game settled in the American old West times. Imagine yourself exploring and trying to settle in these lands during the territorial evolution and American revolution, back in the days. Gunslingers! Bisons! Cowboys VS native Americans! Steam locomotives!!
PROS
- The Wild West is always a fun theme

On 4/26 I bought this game and it is now 4/30. I have 78 hours under my belt and these are my thoughts on this early access game.
I knew this was a beta and not a finished product so i didnt have dreams of it being a stellar AAA polished game. But what i have discovered is a real gem of a survival game.
*** I have played Rust, The Forest, and 7 days to die so naturally my experience with Heat will be affected by my experiences with other early access games of this genre.***
DISCLAMER: I have only played PVE servers so i can get a grip on the game before I jump into the fray on PVP–jess sayin'

Dead Man’s Rest
A very good game, even in early access (it’s almost complete at this point, anyway).
I follow Argent Games ever since Requiescence, even if I tend to purchase their titles elsewhere due to Steam censorship, which isn’t relevant here since the game is not explicit in content.
It has to be my favorite of their games, alongside Requiescence itself.
The storylines are interesting, and with a very short common route (that has more than one path to access the various routes), it makes replaying each route a whole new experience, especially since what is true in one route won’t be in another, aside from core traits and background elements about the characters.

Dead Man’s Rest
Developer: Gallium Games
Publisher: Argent Games
Pros:
1. The Wild West, a place where a balance of lawlessness and peacekeeping is a mainstay. Gunslinging, alcoholism, and tensions between Americans and Natives run in the back. What happens if we add in a little love to that? A more taboo love such as homosexuality in a time where heterosexuality was the overwhelming factor? You get Dead Man’s Rest, a finely packed visual novel with short routes varying from 5 love interests, each being variably different from each other but keep the characters consistency almost each time. It does a great deal in being faithful to old western culture that involves your standard by the book sheriff, trifles with Native Americans, and some small scenes of gunfighting, however it does an excellent job at adding in the romance aspect. It feels down to earth and realistic, with morals that reflected the time back then whether it be about sexuality or your culture, and how people react.

Chess Knights: High Noon
Incredible game!! This is definitely the most fun game in the Chess Knights series! I love western movies and this game has the perfect western vibe! In the other games, you could only survive, escapingfrom the enemies, but now you are a badass gunslinger and you only advance if you eliminate all enemies on the level! The puzzle continues with the same quality from Minimol games, but now we have the addition of Duel mode, which forces you to think and act very fast, just like in a real duel! I can’t wait for the full release!

I really like the games in the Chess Knights series. When I saw this game announced with this theme I confess that I found it unusual.
Well, what I can say is that this game just became my new favorite in the series.
In addition to the game being beautiful like the others, and counting very well elaborated puzzles (ranging from the simplest ones that present the mechanics, to the most challenging ones), the theme was very well implemented, including the duel, which is very well incorporated gameplay dynamics in a way I didn’t imagine for a game inspired by chess.

Blood of Darkness
Initially I expected more, but considering the cost of the game - I can say for sure that this is a pretty good choice of indie games if you are a fan of this genre.
If you’re not a fan of the genre - you can’t understand the game, but you won’t be dissatisfied, that’s for sure.

Of course, there are some bugs with textures, something like this, but the game is new and I think that developers will do everything to avoid the appearance of bugs for their players. Moreover, please add multiplayer game mode - it will be much more funny to play this game with friends.
Talking about the game personally - As for 2D shooter this game is really excellent, specific atmosphere, big attention to all details, many options.
It’s a real HARDCORE, as the game is very dynamic, permanent enemies and fights.

RevolVR 3
I really enjoyed shooting bottles at the shooting range. It is cool that in the shooting range you can not only practice shooting but also gain points, which can be seen on the scoreboard above the bar, where the results of other players are displayed. Comparing your results with those of other players, you understand that you can improve your shooting and can be shooting more accurately.
I also liked the option in the settings where I can choose: play standing or play sitting.
The fact that you can choose a game with bots is also very convenient because it is not always possible to get together with friends.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/8KjymuyOo4o
This game is just outdated now. It’s an online casual shooter with basically 3 games, but the focus is clearly the online multiplayer shooter. There’s 4 players or more likely 3 bots and you. You are in one spot and you crouch down behind cover. It’s all about aiming quickly (need headshots because body shoots TTK is too slow) and also avoiding damage. So basically crawl in your roomscale and shoot.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Silas Greaves is here to kick ass and chew tobacco leaves. And he’s all out of leaves.
**Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a gold standard for arcade, wild west, stylized first-person shooter games.
… well it is frankly a very specific recommendation. Let’s shorten it up and say that it’s simply just a great game.**
One of the better video game ‘feel good’ vidya stories from recent years. After an abysmally abhorrent experiment that was ‘Call of Juarez: The Cartel’ Techland took a deep breath and returned to form with one exceptionally charismatic, familiar yet unconventional first-person shooter that is not only anything like its predecessors but stands out among competitors in the genre to this day.
