Almost My Floor

Almost My Floor

Вполне добротный квест! Из плюсов сразу хотелось бы отметить хорошую графику. Нарисовано прям явно с душой. Анимации конечно не сильная сторона этой игры, но вполне позволяют без проблем погрузиться в сюжет. Также хотел отметить атмосферу, игра цепляет своей тайной и до конца не отпускает. Сюжет вполне неплох, пара неожиданных твистов присутсвует. Есть пара не до конца понятных моментов, но видимо расскажут в длс или даже во второй части.

Пазлы очень клевые, сильно голову не напрягают, достаточно интересные и все уникальные.

I have some issues with how the game handles the narrative and the atmosphere, but let me start with the positives. The first thing I noticed is the hotspot indicator, double-tap for running, and a flexible save system, so at least it has that going for it. I had a few random glitches here and there, but in general, it feels like the developer put a decent amount of work into the UI. While you play through the story, you can choose to save or kill certain characters, so it has a good reason to replay it. It’s not very long, maybe 2 to 3 hours, but you can hunt for some achievements as well. I thought the game was animated really well, the only thing that I don’t like is that all the monsters are just too cute ;0. Now that brings me to some of the problems with the atmosphere, I think the mood in the game is all over the place, and for the entire playthrough, I was not sure what direction the devs tried to take - is it an intentionally funny game, or is it a horror game that fails to be one (and to me, it felt like both). Perhaps the writer just didn’t convey the mood to me that he wanted, and because of that, I was not entirely sure how to feel.

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Bendy and the Ink Machine

I don’t usually revisit my previous reviews; after all, I rarely review episodic titles. With Bendy I am now making an exception as my initial (positive) feedback 2 years ago was made only after the release of chapter 3. The currently available version includes all 5 chapters (hence the name complete edition) and this is the only available edition one can purchase.

Back then I praised the game for its graphics (yellow tone with heavy use of ink) and its story that revolves around a retired employee who gets an invitation from his former employer. Visiting the office building he doesn’t meet anybody, at first, but later on all hell breaks loose and various ink monsters are after him including the titular character.

Disclaimer: Actual time to beat the game was 4 hours 20 minutes and 3 seconds (yes, seriously, lol). I was busy with other things while playing so I kept pausing and coming back.

I enjoyed Bendy and the Ink Machine very much. I went in preparing for a walking sim horror, but what I got was what felt like Bioshock infused with bits of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and an alternate reality where Walt Disney’s success took a much darker turn. It was very unique and I would strongly recommend it, especially to those who are into Disney creepy pastas - this game truly feels like a good Disney creepy pasta brought to life, and I love that about it.

RB: Axolotl

RB: Axolotl

STORY

Like most visual novels, RB: Axolotl is narrative-heavy. That being said, it’s difficult to discuss the story without just spoiling things. I will preface with this: the game starts out at a bright, cheery tone that it does not keep up with. The characters are colourful, cute axolotl, and we spend our first few hours getting to know them differently coloured amphibians. Axy, Enc, Nio, Liam, and Lanna are all residents of the tank, and you quickly learn that things there are a tad bit strange. The axolotl doesn’t need to eat and require very little sleep, for starters, and also don’t seem to age.

There is a certain extremely non-specific type of games, which are usually grouped together,—not for the reason they are similar enough to warrant such categorization but rather because they are that dissimilar from anything else and share some characteristics, like fourth wall breaking, meta-narrative shenanigans, plot twists of ultimate proportion and general mindf++kery. So, precisely this way RB: Axolotl can be compared with other visual novels like Hatoful Boyfriend that is mentioned in other reviews quite a few times. However, frankly, I don’t believe that such comparison does RB: Axolotl enough justice. RB:A excels in doing its own thing and I find this thing pretty much unique.

This was a cute, fun little point and click puzzle game.

However, during my playthrough i noticed a few things.

There was some dialogue that was not translated (entering the garage at the front of Teni’s house as well as the first time yo touch the bricks in the tower), and a few other pieces of dialogue that were not overly translated well and/or contained spelling mistakes. I didn’t feel like this took away from my enjoyment of the game personally.

Most of the puzzles were fairly straight forward and not frustrating. (Although one of them did cause me to look up the answer as i had clicked on absolutely everything and still couldn’t quite work it out).

Abandoned Croxon Mansion

Abandoned Croxon Mansion

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for another one of Anamik Majumdar’s asset flips.

Abandoned Croxon Mansion is a template flip from Anamik Majumdar, who keeps reskinning the same lame GameMaker Studio game template and re-releasing it on Steam with a few minor changes. The GameMaker Studio template he keeps re-releasing is just a basic retro pixel (couldn’t he rip off a template with proper graphics??) 2D top down/platformer stealth/action game. Here’s some other results of his copy+paste school of “game development”:

Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition - Tower Defense

Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition - Tower Defense

Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition includes all existing game content of Cursed Treasure 2, plus 3 hand-crafted new levels! The total game re-balance and new mission rating system makes it more fun to play all previous levels once again, even if you have played before.

The mission rating mechanism has been changed from “Don’t touch my gems” to “Come touch my gems” that you always get a 3-star rating for the mission as long as there are still 3 gems on the field! The enemy waves have been adjusted and where the gem dropped will also affect enemies’ behaviors, all of these make the gameplay enjoyable with various of skills and tactics for many possible combinations.

Localization support: Chinese, German, French, Russian… and your native language may be eventually added at any time!

Why be good when you can be… bad? Cursed Treasure 2 is an addictive tower-defense game that puts the power of darkness at your fingertips. As a creature of ultimate evil, you don’t ask for much… just to raze the odd kingdom and have your cache of all-powerful magical gems safely hidden away. Too bad the (ugh) good guys are out to steal them. Using the powers of the orcs, demons, and undead, you’ll build unique and powerful towers along paths to destroy any hero that dares get close.

Upgrade your undead crypts to instill fear in foes that make them flee in the opposite direction, or turn your demonic temples into mighty icons capable of turning the ground to lava beneath anyone’s feet. You’ll upgrade and enhance each unique type, and of course, unlock spells of your own to enter the fray… when the going gets tough, the tough drop meteors on everyone else, after all.

Sure, your enemies have paladins and angels and ninjas and more, but when you’ve got power like yours, they’ll wish they stayed at home. Cursed Treasure 2 is casual but engaging tower-defense with style, packed with 27 levels that can be conquered normally or in Night Mode for even more challenge. It’s good to be bad.

Features

  • Three powerful and monstrous tower-types, each with their own unique skills to unlock!

  • 27 levels of maniacal mayhem across a lush fantasy world.

  • Replay stages in re-balanced Night Mode with limited illumination for added challenge.

  • Earn ability points to improve everything from spells to towers and more.

  • A wide variety of enemies tricky powers and abilities to overcome.

  • A vibrant and colorful style… just because you’re evil doesn’t mean you can’t look good.

What’s new in Ultimate Edition

  • 3 gems instead of 5 and updated mission rating requirements: just keep all the gems on the level to get Brilliant! Yes, they can touch your gems now.

  • 3 brand-new levels! Hand-crafted and polished.

  • Total re-balance. More fun on every enemy wave. Among other things, the dwarves are not that mighty now - don’t bother piling up the skulls to beat them.

  • Easy mana bottles and coins pick-up with mouse over. You won’t mis-click the scrolls anymore.

  • Mana bottles auto-collection. Don’t forget to upgrade the mana limit!

  • Updated experience system - now you get experience even if you lose. But not if you quit - hold on to the last!

  • Optimization and debugging for the smoother evil spreading experience. No more erased saves

Heltons Haunted Hotel

Rubbish, absolute Rubbish

The sprite quality is atrocious, they look like bobble heads

The gameplay is also awful, its hand holding at its finest

Scares are just jumpscares, nothing with any substance

the plot is also bloody faulty, seriously your main protagonist is a PSYCHIC and she uses what GHOST HUNTERS USE like cameras, emf readers and whatever else to find ghosts when she doesn’t NEED ANY OF THAT SHIT

also the presentation when it comes to text reading is also rubbish, you have what I can estimate is a size 10 font with a stupid oversized box
