The Island
Beautiful amazing game and although I haven’t really been all that into survival games before, this one caught my eye and I’ve been hooked since. I love it and definitely recommended to those who enjoy games of this kind.
As the story apparently goes, you take the role of a young woman who was sailing in her boat but lost control and crash landed on a beach of an uncharted island. When you come to, you feel thirsty, hungry, and are all but lost in your new surroundings.
The only things you start with are some cookies, a few cans of soda, your trusty survival book, and a knife. After that you’re on your own. Prowling wild animals being your only neighbors, some of which don’t take too kindly to your presence… (they will attack you if they see you). And at that point you either make them your next source of food, or, well… you become theirs.

OK, first and foremost, totally worth it for the price. Graphics are excellent. Very playable on Easy. It has a way to go in development, but 5 bucks for a game that you can easily pass 5 hours in is worth it. Crafting system is fun enough, (if it lets you click on the item in the guide book, click it, that’s how you make it. Otherwise just put the appropriate amount of ingredients in your inventory and craft.) Clay in in the inland lakes and rivers. Iron and Sulfur don’t show up in incremental bits, you get nothing until you’ve whacked it a bunch. All of the animals take about the same number of hits, you don’t really need to avoid any of them. Go back to the starting area for soda and crackers, they respawn. There is a wood and stick grind that cold be improved in the mid game. I am interested to see where this goes. Oh, you have to forgive the animal variety on desert island, they wouldn’t all live there but what the hell, they work out to meat and leather.

I like the idea of the command blocks: you don’t write a code, but learn how it works. It didn’t have to be a VR game, by the way. I would love to play on PC or mobile. Overall, this is a great VR puzzle game.

Time Trap 2 - Search and Find Objects Game - Hidden Pictures
The game is inexpensive and for the money it is a great game in the style of story-driven puzzles. The world is distorted here, but how deeply you explore it, so deeply new interesting moments open up in it. Very beautiful elements for drawing events, backgrounds, pictures. Undoubtedly, it is worth noting the music, which deeply immerses in the game. I will definitely recommend this game to all fans of the genre, because it literally “captures” you for many hours.

More of the same from Crisp App studio, story doesn’t make much sense but the HOGs are good. I do like the crazy surreal sci-fi scenes in this one. There are more non HOGs than the previous game such as spot the difference and swap-pieces until the image is done type thing.

Whats wrong with me?
It is half-translated, things make no sense, no tutorial or control options so out of those 37 minutes 20 of them was how to make the game run, what button does what, how to use items and so on.. It also has very bad graphic options and lags for no reason. It is not a fun experience and it’s not worth it, not even if it was 0,39.
It’s extremely short and the “story” makes 0 sense especially with it being half translated.

The Christmas Spirit: Journey Before Christmas Collector’s Edition
Bug in the end of the game, cant finish so this is crap. :D
– Real player with 7.5 hrs in game
Didn’t take too long to beat this game (3.5 hours or so), but you might be able to stretch this out to 5 or 6 hours. Not a particularly long game either way.
Having come from Mystery Case Files (the earlier ones not the later ones), I was expecting a Hidden Object game, but while there is some hidden object gameplay here, it’s relatively sparse in comparison to MCF, and nothing too difficult. The puzzles are not particularly hard either. Otherwise, you’re mainly just running around trying to collect items and use them elsewhere in order to get more items.

BORIS THE ROCKET 🚀
A kinda hectic run-around-but-think game, nicely themed around quasi-Soviet missile intercept site. Be prepared to value every second of your time. Missions are around seven minutes each, so this is also a “just another bite” thing. I picture this in the evening, a mission or two every now and then. Then again, I love the setting too : )

This game is sort of Papers, Please.
During game you need to shoot down all incoming rockets. But task is not easy. You must properly configure every AA missile while trying to get enough resources to produce new missiles, or for upgrades. You alone in that base so must run on foot to every point of interest.
Actually I like games like Paper, please, so this game is my type of games, and I recommend it to buy. Its cheap enough.

Spent most of my time in the starting lobby, perhaps adding a control information for keyboard would be helpful. Game was clunky and controls were very rough. Aiming seemed to be impossible. Would not recommend for PC - VR may be better experience?

The Panic Room. House of secrets
I love this game. It is very interesting and there are new events constantly to keep things fresh and new. The storyline is interesting, most of the characters are engaging and I love the fact that you can interact with your friends who play by way of gifts and groups for various tasks. This is one of two games I have played since I started on Steam and I just don’t see giving them up.
That being said, there are a few drawbacks as well. First, while the game is free to play, AND, contrary to what a few will say, you can play and do everything anyone else can do, however, the developers constantly put pop-ups in game trying to sell you stuff. I am even okay with that, they made a good product, they deserve compensation for it, my objection is to the frequency and the way they go about it. You will get a pop-up that advertises items to help you with the game (health potions, luck charms etc…) for a certain price, if you don’t purchase, frequently, another character in the game will pop up and “encourage” you to purchase to help win your freedom. I just think it is a little much. I have spent money on the game, like I said, I love playing, I just prefer not to be manipulated into it. That leads into my 2nd objection; the developers mostly ignore the Steam platform game. Panic Room is also on Facebook, the developers are very active, constantly posting news, apologies and explanations for glitches, etc. Here, we get nothing. Never an explanation and they very rarely respond to anything in the Panic Room group. I feel that if you are going to ask for money, you should be responsive to your players. At Christmas, the game was down for a couple weeks. There was never any explanation and most of us were unable to finish a large event because they didn’t extend the time. A few words would make a difference.

As I cdnt reply to Monique’s recent Review, I thought I wd post this to support her views.
I agree totally with everything she has said, so have a read of hers too.
This is a well stuctured and creative game. As a writer, I find the storyline interesting, considering its a Hidden Object Game. It also creates a unique environment with the interactive components among other players, while still being a solo game.
If u choose this u may have a moral dilema with activating “Bad Karma” function.
Most of us did, lol.

Touhou Double Focus
It’s a fun metroidvania game. However, there’s nothing really new here : you explore areas, find items defeat enemies and bosses. The one interesting mechanic is its portal system where you can lay down some portals almost anywhere for fast travelling. You have a set amount of portals you can use and you can only save in the main area so putting portals requires some thought. Also the character switching mechanic is fun to use but it doesn’t really make anything unique.
Despite being a short game to complete, it has a LOT of charm put into it. The overall presentation is superb. There’s a surprising amount of touhou characters and references you can find. There is an incentive to explore and find everything in this game.

Truly a Dark Souls of Touhou games. On a serious note, that is pretty much a 2D Souls like about greatest Tengu duet! Basicaly you controling Aya and Momiji, Aya is fast, can evade and has ranged attacks: Momiji is strong, has a shield to block attacks and can RUN (including wall running). Other than that it’s your typical metroidvania-souls like game. Buy! Aquastyle makes great games, and this one is not an exception,

Bridge to Another World: Secrets of the Nutcracker Collector’s Edition
A good holiday season HOPA game. It’s not especially long, but had some advantages over other “Christmas” games I’ve played:
-
the story is well-imagined and draws from the original without repeating it
-
there is variety both in the puzzles and the HO scenes
-
the music is relaxing and classical (and changes as appropriate), but isn’t “Christmas music”
-
the secondary characters are relevant and well-designed, even if they don’t have a lot of depth
-
the voice acting is… well, it varies in quality, but generally works with the characters

This is an enjoyable HOG game, if you like those types of games. The minigames aren’t too terribly difficult (compared to others that I’ve seen in some games). I didn’t need any hints and didn’t use any skips. It just took some time to figure things out.
This game has a guide, including a section that shows where the collectibles are.
It has a map you can click on to travel and that shows where you’ve got activities you can do.
It has multiple difficulty settings
I also has 2 types of collectibles (Glass globes and morphing objects)
