Cloud Chasers - Journey of Hope
Cloud Chasers is a text-based adventure that incorporates survival elements, map exploration, and a flying mini-game. I think the game is pretty decent when it comes to resource management and storytelling, although the controls for the glider are a bit wonky. The goal is to get across the desert which includes 5 separate levels with randomly generated events. If one of your characters dies, you start over. However, the game is not particularly hard as I was able to beat it on the second try (in less than 1 hour on normal). Since many of the achievements are attached to unique events, it does have some replay value because you can’t get everything in one run.

At $4 this is a good game. Perma death rogue lite, FTL-lite, prequel to the excellent Airheart. However, it has very little action (passive glider flying avoiding bad buys and their bullets) to collect water aka cash.
I completed it in 4 hours and don’t really feel compelled to play again soon. There are items that are worthless except for fufilling dialogue options. There are a few basic upgrades for your glider that make the water collection mini game much easier to almost trivial when the gilder is fully upgraded.

Shelter 3
Shelter 3 disappointed my beginning expectations at first, but it’s growing on me.
Let me start out by saying I am a major Might and Delight fan, but more specifically their Shelter series. Although I have mixed opinions with Shelter 1 as it’s a linear and less of an exploration game, the connection between all of the badger offspring and the mother I was playing as was beautifully done. That same aspect goes to Shelter 2, which is significantly better than it’s original, Shelter 1. It allowed a more open and free world than it’s previous game, and the connection between the children as they grew up was more emotional, especially when they leave. I also enjoyed how they allowed various skin patterns and the ability to play as a surviving offspring to continue the legacy of the family.

Update 1: So I’ve played this game for another hour, and the experience is still painful. Glitches continue to be rampant and punishing: at one point, I was unable to nurse my starving calf and restarted the game; somehow this made it so that my herd was starving and I had to go out of my way to find trees; thus taking much more time that could have been spent moving forward. I just stopped playing now because I thought I was going the right way (again), but now I’m lost and the idea of walking around in circles pointlessly is absolutely crushing. In a game where your modus operandi is to move from one place to another, the movement should be fun. It’s not fun. That’s… pretty pathetic.

Paws
This game is beautiful, sweet and absolutely adorable! But there were too many drawbacks keeping me from actually enjoying it.
This game might be more aptly titled “Lost in the Woods Simulator 2016”. The dizzying watercolors of the environment mixed with similar-themed areas make it very difficult to find your way. There is a ‘sense’ mode where you can sniff to try and find your mother, and sometimes her paw prints will appear in a trail, showing you the way. My issue with this was that 1) these hints didn’t appear often enough for me and 2) when they did appear, it was extremely difficult to tell which way they were leading. I spent way too much time just walking around in circles, trying to find my way.

I had loved the first and second games, and I also decided to get this game. From the trailers, I decided it was a game where you played as a lynx cub, stayed with your family, escaped danger, and grow up and leave your mother. Then you would survive on your own, find a mate, and leave them to raise your family. Then you would have to play Shelter 2. I was so wrong. Below is the story, which I recommend not reading for the game is best going in blind.
! In Paws you play as a lynx cub, with you lynx family. Any new player would immediatly get attached with their family, for you play around with your siblings and follow your mother. After sleeping on the second day, you wake up near dawn to see your mother walking away from the den. You follow your mother up a hill and see a star. After looking at the star for a while, it floats into the sky. Then you and your mother go to sleep.

Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer: Survival Game
We are one of the first studios who decided to make a videogame based on Mark Twain’s books.
So, we took a chapter from Tom Sawyer’s Adventures book, about him escaping to an island with his friends. And decided that this will perfectly fit into a concept of a survival game. But it is not a plotless survival sandbox. As anything with our studio, our games are highly focused on unique experiences, intrinsic motivation, and player emotions. If we make a survival game - it is going to be unique and most of our time is going to be dedicated to immersing the player and creating a feeling of an authentic teenage adventure inside the player’s head.
Die, zombie sausage, die!

ARIDA: Backland’s Awakening
[8/10]
Review in english first, portuguese below
Análise em inglês primeiro, e em português abaixo
JOGADO TOTALMENTE NO LINUX - PLAYED COMPLETELY ON LINUX
======================================
Árida is a very regionalist game about the worst period of drought in northeastern Brazil in the region known as “Caatinga” (blacklands). It is a short semi-linear exploration and survival game, with cartoonish aesthetics that resemble drawings from that place and age (“literatura de cordel”) in sharp contrast against the looming sense of dread that permeates the entire game - you see death everywhere, the Sun quickly exhausts your thirst and hunger bars, specially at noon.

Taravana: Deep Ocean Survival
Taravana is a dystopian roguelite game carried out in a murky underwater world where land is no longer inhabited due to a Cataclysm of extraterrestrial origin.

Descend Into a Rich Underwater World
You start out on a massive orbital space station that has found its new home in the dark belly of the post-apocalyptic ocean. Manage your oxygen supply and gear durability as you search for valuable resources on the highly radioactive surface, inside treacherous dungeons, and at the bottom of bone-crushing deep-sea areas. Infested by horribly mutated bloodthirsty creatures, the salty waters are no place for a picnic.
Research Murderous Fauna
The severe radiation bursts changed scores of ocean inhabitants forever. Chemical reactions altered their bodies making them more tenacious, powerful, and aggressive. Hunt them down, research their DNA, and use it to create your own helpful pet monster.
Scavenge and Craft to Survive
To gain a tactical advantage against the hostile environment you need to explore. Scavenge the remains of long-gone civilization, craft diving gear, and medicine that will increase your overall chances to succeed. Discover deeper and further layers of the ocean to get rarer resources and craft more advanced items.
Become an Indestructible Fighting Machine
Your life entirely depends on “ichtis”, a polymeric diving suit powered by a robotic exoskeleton that is designed to sustain the perils of the deep. Modify the suit with radiation filters, additional armor plates, harpoon guns, chainsaws, other weapons, and modules. Get more experience, level up, receive access to ultimate gear, and improve your character’s stats to lead mankind to its rise.
Interact With Other Survivors
Take quests and bounties, trade, and cooperate with other players in order to overcome threats lurking in the darkness. Challenge opponents in fierce PvP battles to show your fighting superiority!
Make Yourself Heard
Got some feedback and ideas to share? Spotted something in the ocean that you think is not supposed to be there? Just want to say “hi”? Don’t hesitate to contact the Base HQ through any channel you are comfortable with. We want to hear from you!
