Beast Quest
The Game is good in all but the price is just too crazy! The price just makes the game look like a (CASH GRAB) and the game is only like 3 hours and a half long. I got this game on a winter sale for £8.00 but i found out that normally the game is £30.00 Which is just stupid. I would reccomend the game to people who like RPGs but for hardcore gamers well this game is just a no no. The game has got some good graphics but if you are going to buy this i reccomend you wait for a sale.
Thank for Reading

Good Ideas Marred by Horrific Technical Issues
Beast Quest is a short High Fantasy game with some very solid gameplay features, but the bugs, glitches, and numerous other technical issues really overshadow any good this title has to offer. While it is by no means a horrible game, it is definitely not something I would recommend (not even to children) because it is so unfathomably broken. As my friend put it, the game is essentially held together by “sweat and duct tape.” After 100%ing the game, here are my final thoughts:

The Forest of Doom (Standalone)
Probably the best video-gamebook available on Steam.
A review for newbies and veterans alike
PROs ( / Features)
- The Story is simple yet effective. Classic fantasy, nothing too original in that regard, although the gust of nostalgia can be felt even by those who never played it as children (including me). You can’t help but feel deeply immersed in the engrossing world of Titan, where orcs, elves, fiends will roam in the most beautiful of sceneries. But what about Forest of Doom? Well, in this one, your job is to stop a war between two factions… Or die before that. Or get completely side-tracked by an optional dungeon. The thing I like the most however, is that the punishment of failing is restricted to starting over with your inventory intact, so you can tackle routes you didn’t explore before and, hopefully, gather all the stuff you need.

69 / 100
Much to my parents' dismay, reading books never did interest me greatly growing up. That was until I came across the Fighting Fantasy Choose-Your-Own Adventure books. Although more a paperback ‘game’ than a ‘novel’, at least I was off the computer :). I would sit & decode them until I knew all the paths, killed every monster & fully explored the world.
Forest of Doom was one of the first in the series, yet, to be honest not one of the best. It is certainly one of the more well know titles, but the series did get better & more complex as it went on. The game system was very RPG-lite, granting you some primary stats in Stamina, Skill & Luck plus offering some items to find/use, with combat mechanics coming down to a series of dice rolls used to calculate your attacks. Your stats will also add weight to your rolls. Nothing has greatly changed in the move to a digital format. Like many early text based adventure games, your movement is limited to up to 3 directions/options (sometimes less) .. and you generally can’t turn back!

Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-
Impressive game, I enjoy it a lot. Felt a rush in my heart while I was playing it, Remind me a lot of Castlevania:SOTN. By far a true gem, I will hope for the sequel to buy it ASAP.
Thank you for creating such a beatiful experience

Warning: If you’re photosensitive, stay away. There are a number of flashing cutscenes and transition effects that cannot be turned off or disabled. At the end is a series of flashes that are painful to watch even without being photosensitive.
Another very solid Metroidvania-lite from Team Ladybug, who made the wonderful Touhou Luna Nights a few years ago. Like their previous game, this is a “lite” form of the genre, where you have the game broken up into stages (while still being interconnected) and it is much more linear than some of the other examples of the genre. Each stage after the first contains one major progression ability, two bosses, and a scattering of other upgrades, spells, and weapons lying around.

Game of Thrones
A great mature RPG.
-
Very good, tight, quite lengthy and powerful story (with a fair amount of twists and multiple endings)
-
Interesting main and side characters
-
Good (sometimes perhaps a little too strict) to very good voice acting (and plenty at that)
-
Nicely written, believable dialogues (there are light dialogue trees too)
-
Thick character and world lore (accessible to people new to GOT by codex/encyclopedia pages ingame)
-
Nice music (composed by the TV show composer, it seems)
-
For fans: Familiar places (King’s Landing, The Wall, …) and cameos (Joer Mormont and Varys have their looks and voices from the TV show)

Recommended for fans (if it’s on sale)
Foreword: I didn’t read the books yet, because it mostly wouldn’t be healthy to do so and watch the show the same time. First you’d of course spoiler yourself, second you’d be unsatisfied with script author’s decisions, as usual. But no matter if you’re a fan of the show or of the books, it’s just happening in Westeros with the famous characters near you. Yet, there’s a bitter truth about this game: Not everything that shines is gold.

The Lords of the Earth Flame
This game is an interactive fiction if you love reading you’ll enjoy it. The story will be decided by your choices which will lead you to multiple endings, your choices do have consequences either good or bad ones. It was easy to follow the story and unlock many achievements but a couple of them I had to look for a guide in order to know how to unlock it. (the joker one)
I liked the fact that the interface is a book which you can flip through the pages and choose the extra pages (your choices) from the bottom of the book to resume reading, I do love books so excuse me for fangirling about books and papers lol.

The game is an interactive fantasy fiction made to look like a real old book with classic art and meaningful choices that lead to quite different and sometimes abrupt endings (permadeath). There are no dice throws like in Livingstone’s games (i.e. The Forest of Doom), no RPG-like stats, just behavior variants to pick. The text is well written, the choices seem logical, so you can more or less predict the outcome, but the story itself is very short, it seems that you can open all the endings through several tries in less than an hour, so it feels like a free demo to something much more serious. Despite its size it is not free of bugs - sometimes you get thrown to the beginning or game just hangs.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut
It’s a good game, closing in on great. Story is really good, graphics is decent or even good considering it is pretty old(you can’t pull of Witcher 3-graphics with a EE) and the background graphics, like the sky in Murky Waters, are really good. The combat flows well for being somewhat turn-based, it feels odd at first but past the Prologue you get the hang of it. The way you gain skills when leveling up is interesting but in the end get to many low and mid skills, there is not much chosing to do.

Ok, I like this game.
First, if you play this game, don’t expect a AAA experience; you wont find it here, even by 2008 standards. You also find that good voice acting in this game is scarce, but the voice acting is overall passable. Combat will feel wonky when you start playing, but one you get used to it, it will feel pretty good, to the point where you may actually prefer it over Witcher 2’s combat (I know I do). Unlike the Witcher 2, this game doesn’t feel watered down because consoles; this was a PC only game and this was all CD PROJEKT could muster at the time. The first chapter will feel pretty mediocre (although you wont be there long) until the end of it and the swamps in the second chapter will make you want to stop playing (and you will be there a while and you’ll be there several times), but other than that, the game’s areas are pretty good. In particular, I liked Chapter 4’s areas the most. Game graphics are both good and bad; environments and some character models are well done, while others just straight up look cursed. This game can go for less than £1 on sale, so there is no way that I would say that this game isn’t worth it; because it is worth it. It also sets Witcher 2 up well and potentially nets you some slightly better equipment for starting that game, which is useful if you play the Witcher franchise on the hardest difficulties (Hard, Dark, Death March!). Oh, and make sure you stock up on Swallow in this game; it’s kind of essential.

The Lord of the Rings Online™
The game is dying. Devs are making feeble attempts at re-vitalizing it but it’s just much too late. For too long there were zero communication with them, for too long they haven’t been playing their own game. Just look at this steam page - when was it last updated, 6 years ago? Fixing LotRO requires rebuilding some systems from ground-up and nobody does this to a 10 year old game.
The main problem with LotRO today is that it’s BORING AS FUUUUUUUUUCK. Even earlygame is spoiled somehow. I can point my finger at auto-learned skills and quests that don’t need turning in. You just feel disconnected from the world.

If you’re a Tolkien fan, you should love this. It’s a lot of fun seeing how much care and attention has gone into recreating the world of middle earth.
As an MMO, it is one of the best ones out. It is certainly more geared to solo players, but does a good job of catering to everyone. The classes range from basic to some of the most advanced and interesting classes I’ve ever seen in an MMO. (Take Warden or LoreMaster for example)! The community is also one of the friendliest and the servers are still busy and alive to this day. It has stood the test of time and still looks astonishingly beautiful as ever. Add to all that it has fantastic mood setting music you’ve got a class A product. Many players simply can’t stop at a single character and over the years I have kept on coming back to this game. Without a doubt my favourite MMO ever. It’s also great to see the dedication of Standing Stone in keeping their work alive and keeping lotro safe for the future years with a decent, not overly greedy free to play system. Much of the content can be enjoyed for free and extras can be bought as required. The only time you may consider spending money is to open up quest packs in different regions and expansion packs. But considering the size and amount of time you could foreseeably spend in this masterpiece, it is well worth it!

Glisten to your heart: The courage within you
Glisten to your heart is a gentle, relaxing game with some great advice. It has a great sense of humor (especially if you like breaking the fourth wall!) Altogether, it took me 4.5 hours to complete. This game is worth far more than its current price tag. Hoping to see more from this dev!
