Lucky me gets to write the first review for CUBE-e 2, which is a 2D retro pixel puzzle platformer/shooter from known asset flippers, Piece of Voxel. This is a basic retro pixel shooter/platformer game where you guide a robot over various platforms on some planet, dodging spinning blades and shooting robots that float from the sky before they can shoot you. Ho hum.
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. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. There’s also an insulting $10 USD price tag for this garbage. Yeah, $10, the same money that would get you one of hundreds of AAA games on sale. Or this trash.

Aesoteric Collection
9 Æsoteric games, the result of many experimental worlds brought to conclusion at last.
Each of these belong in a common oniric universe, where you’re confronted with a diverse array of A.R.G. consoles, each having a uniquely different game in its system but sharing a common dark origin.
The Æsoteric Collection
EGREGORE / ZYX
tmOD / Vlast
Oneiroi / tmPaint
Apex Byte Reeling / Wrecc
Noahs Ark Demake
The experiences contained within this collection are calling. It is a mystery if they even grew to exist as a published format, cursed as they are, belonging somewhere between the discarded and the dreamt. Some originally forgotten demos, others accidents of evil destiny and spiteful development, even the consoles in which they belong are not a thing of public knowledge…
Until now.
Plan Z
4 positive reviews, 3 of them key redemption reviews that off nothing but meme sarcastic comments about the game and it’s amazing quality. SMH. The other review besides my own at the time i write this review played the game a total of 5 minutes and raves about how great it is. Again, things that make you go “hmmm”..
Here is my experience with this game:

It’s Pretty Because of the Unreal engine and assets it uses… But never judge a book by it’s cover. This game is as mindless and dull as they come. I mean I had 30 zombies smacking me in the game and I was gaining health FFS. That’s really all I need to say.

seems like a cool game that looks pleasing to the eye. not having a jump or a mantle so that you can use the terrain to your advantage is the only thing that rubs me wrong. looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future.

BITTER
THE STORY:
In a far distant future, humanity is all but wiped out by the mighty forces of the vile Gormagon.
In a last ditch effort, they send you, the Sourman on a lone mission to Gormagon’s home-world to take the head honcho out on their own turf.
The Mission is practically suicide and it’ll take a BITTER bastard to pull it off, luckily that’s YOU!
THE GAMEPLAY
Run, Jump, and Shoot through Gormagon’s home-world exploring through hostile jungles, enemy tech-bases, and lost temples as you seek the artifacts of power required to defeat them. Fight through the hordes of Gormagon’s army like the ever vicious Hatchet, the squads of Bastards, the mechanical horror of the XR-Minors, and the ever deadly Bosses that await you. Wield powerful weapons like the Double-Barreled Tomboy Shotgun, the every handy Scrappy Joe Machine Gun, or heck even a Rat.
Masked Forces
You have not lived until you’ve played Masked Forces.
The moment you see the title screen flash, you will be hooked for life. The UI (User Interface) is unmatched compared to anything else on the market, it’s intuitive and snappy, just works flawlessly. Although, the real magic happens the moment you step foot onto the battlefield. My first match played in the map Factory, bullets are whistling past my ears in every direction, my fellow Shooters are helplessly ducking from enemy fire, I hear explosions coming from the west, I stand guard, my buddy is wounded badly, I try in the best of my ability to provide cover, but alas it was too late. I see a grenade cloud over, like the first rain cloud before a storm - A white flash, deafening noise, silence. Their limbs, dismembered in only fractions of a second. I will never forget your name, Shooter8438.

This game is a port of an online Unity game. That being said, it can certainly entertain for anywhere from ten minutes to many hours depending on your standards. The playerbase is nearly nonexistent and very unskilled. The campaign is a joke, simply 3 mission types (survive for X seconds, kill X enemies, win a team/solo match with bots) on repeat endlessly with increasing numbers. Grenades in this game are essentially RPGs and kill in one (AOE) hit. This brings down the multiplayer to a barely playable level. That being said, this game has potential as a timewaster when you simply want to fool around with an FPS that can run on any machine and is very noncompetitive. In the end, I simply cannot recommend this game, but if you need a game to kill time… hey, the price isn’t too high at least.

ENCHAIN
You are the Last Deprived, the final corpse to ever rise from the stone depths, dooming all creation to a ceaseless death. This underworld does not welcome you. Unlock the secrets of the crypt, take back life from your fleshless brethren, and fight your own way out of humanity’s tomb.
ENCHAIN links hack & slash juggling and frenetic platforming with fast-paced retro FPS gunplay. Inspired by platform fighters and Quake, smash the undead into pieces with your lantern hook and arsenal of guns. And, with progression and verticality influenced by Dark Souls, tackle a single interconnected world chunk by chunk, retreading old paths and secrets.
Get lost in the chasm. No one will be holding your cold, hollow hands along the way.
-
Grapple, shoot, kick, and dive between platforming and combat
-
Fracture and harvest the bones of the undead for resources
-
Explore an intertwined, non-linear underworld
-
Rest at cozy lantern posts to store the fruits of your travels

Abyss of Death
Unfortunately I’m not first ;c But anyway the game itself is rather nice. It still could be better but i enjoyed it. After playing for 1h i completed only 4 levels so there is a lot more to do for me ;p (based on the “20 levels” trailer ). I found about this game on reddit when devs posted some test trailer or smth, i was like - “well let’s add this to wishlist it’s not so expensive” and to be honest i don’t regret this (yes i only played 1h as for now but the gameplay is good anyway). When it comes to the Devs studio (“Vainture studio” as they call it ) after some research (visiting their socials xd) i found that’s their first game so :
