The Book of Regrets
Not a bad hidden gem. I definitely enjoyed myself figuring out each ending. The story of the game is pretty good, and I loved the various endings. The price tag isn’t too bad, considering the kind of game you’re getting. There were some slight bugs I noticed in the game, but they didn’t appear that often and usually only if I was spamming the space button too quickly in certain areas. The fight scene in the end was a bit annoying, although it does add a bit something else to the gameplay. The puzzles in-game are way too easy, so if you’re looking for hard puzzles, you won’t find them in this game. However, the bulk of the game was figuring out what choices you should/shouldn’t make, so the puzzles weren’t much focus anyway (I think there are only 2 puzzles in-game).

Enjoyable & well-made - a true hidden gem of a game!
If you like Choose Your Own Adventure books/games, you must try this one. There is a choice to be made on every screen, and those choices can lead to vastly different outcomes and yield vastly different storylines. To get the full experience (and to understand the real story), multiple playthroughs are needed. However, each playthrough is never tedious, because you discover new things and start to figure stuff out. It took me around 4-5 hours to get most of the endings, including the “true” ending of the game (which was pretty ingenious btw).

Elo Hell
Part choice VN, Part BA without the MO, other minigames thrown in. The voice acting and humour are on point, the story and gameplay surprisingly work well together. An interesting blend of genres.

This game is not at all like it is advertised. I go into it expecting a break and just clicking through what I assume to be an interesting story. Sadly what is it really, a dead moba that you can’t play because youre waiting on someone else to join.

C14 Dating
This game is fun, friendly, and sweet in the right amounts. I bought C14 Dating when it came out, then got busy with other things. It’s been a delight to get to play it now for the first time (January 2021). I enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anybody who is in the mood for a slice of life, mostly non-angsty story with a bit of thinking thrown in. While the story itself doesn’t focus heavily on the diversity angle, it’s nice to see representation of both disabilities and less typical potential love interests. I fell completely for the (very) tsundere, overly-diligent Kyler, but I ended up being fond of everyone.

I am disappointed in this game. I’ve purchased a number of the Winter Wolves game in the past and never had a problem. But this game seems to be glitched up for me. I basically tried to pick the Deandre route so many times following the guide for the Deandre route. But it seems to be glitched up. I tried it a number of times with minigames active, but that seems to end up still with alone route doing well in the field of archeology… Then I tried with mini games off, which still ends up with the alone route but with character deciding to try a different field.

How to Win: Season One
Incredibly funny, and then actually really emotional in places.
I absolutely loved this game. The characters are great, it’s really funny and interesting seeing what suggestions people have given, and while the game uses more player suggestions that I was expecting, it still managed to keep some order in the chaos to deliver great characters and a really satisfying narrative.
I finished the main story in around 3 hours, but then kept replaying to see different pathways and unlock achievements/bonus scenes.

There is so much I could say about this game. It’s beautifully done for starters. It touches on a lot of extremely serious issues, some subtly, some much less so. All of them done with wit and charm one has come to expect from the genius of Cael, Elliot and the Hidden Track team. This game will put you through every emotion imaginable. I laughed, I cried, I felt afraid and everything in between. The art style was simplistic, yet unique and beautiful. Once again, to be expected as a Hidden Track project. The sounds were spot on. And DO NOT get me started on the plot twists. I genuinely did not see them coming. It was so easy to lose myself in the worlds they created. And the characters… There were a couple I will love forever, and a couple I will loathe forever, yet another feeling not oft invoked in me. Honestly, I could go on and on, but you’re probably tired of my rambling praise at this point. Needless to say, though I was cautiously optimistic when they gave it to me to try, I fell hard and fast and will be purchasing copies for friends as soon as I’m able. 10 of 10 a must play.

You Are Not a Banana: Better Edition
Introduction
You Are Not A Banana is a pixel styled adventure/puzzle game set it everyday life. The big reason I liked this game is because of the humor and the really cool soundtrack. The basis of You Are Not A Banana is you follow a man as he goes through a day. Weird and odd things happen, and plenty of little puzzles are present throughout the game. You Are Not A Banana is very short, but the price tag of $2 is reasonable for the time. There is controller support, but the game doesn’t have different icons for the buttons in game. This game is very quirky and is not for everyone, but it is definitely worth a look at.

Venge
I played it for 11 hours now and here is what I think, as always in stats and some words:
WORDS
Yeah… Venge. A creative game by a single developer with some help. You can find bugs from time to time, but it doesn’t kill the experience. Otherwise, it’s a wonderful game with a great story and awesome delivery. It gets frustrating from time to time because consistency is only a thing every now and then, which prevents players from being in the flow. When it comes to awesome per second, it dies down from time to time, but when it delivers, it does. I didn’t finish it yet, but I plan I keep enjoying it and I hope so do you.

I wanted to give this game a review after playing through the entire first act.
What started as a game that seemed like it was going to be a bit silly ended up getting me really good with scares that I didn’t expect and gameplay that was extremely fun. This is definitely one of those games where you need to play it for yourself if you want to really see how it is but let me point out a few things that worked really well, and a few that didn’t.
First off, the game definitely has a bit of a silly take to horror but don’t let that dissuade you from playing it. The humor really sets the scares up to be more intense as it gets you to let your guard down a bit. Most of the scares that I yelled out loud were situations where I thought I was completely safe and I had outsmarted the AI and the game…. and it turns out the game was a step ahead of me. I’M LOOKING AT YOU, DOOR CLOSING AFTER A CHASE SCENE. That got me REAL GOOD.

DragonRideVR
edit after the recent updates
Dragon ride is more incredible again the best dragon game we could wish and has a lot of new modes
rhytm and ride it is awesome ,we can use swords and a ot of others weapons in rythm with music
the free fly mode is wonderfull , we could not have more the feeling to be on a dragon on the air , on the ground , in the water ( with a lot of customisation to unlock)
and mini games modes amazing like using crossbow with power up or do treasure hunt to find the eggs of the dragon and where giant crossbows try to kill you

Full disclosure - I was involved in early testing for this game. I can tell you the lead developer is really respoinsive and a joy to work with. That’s the reason this game keeps getting better, and is well worth the $$. Aside from that, this is an honest review for a really fun, must-have in my opinion, VR game that’s for everyone. I love dragons myself, like just about everyone that’s faithfully watched Game of Thrones, or any other similar story, the dragons are the best part. I had been looking for a dragon-riding game and this is one of the best.

Animation Studio Manager
My friend made this game and gave me a copy to play prior to release, and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. I completed levels 1-8 on both easy and medium mode. The easy level had enough guiding to help me through the game without being overly hand-holding, and it’s been nice to switch to the medium level for more of a challenge. The game moves at a nice pace but there is a pause button in case you need to stop and evaluate your next steps, which I appreciate because it keeps the game from becoming overly frustrating. I started out playing to give the creator some feedback from the perspective of someone who loves to game but doesn’t recognize herself as a hardcore gamer. Despite this, I have definitely found myself playing this game simply because I enjoy it and it helps focus my mind after a hard day of work. I can’t wait to see the next levels! I would definitely recommend this game and I will continue to enjoy it :)

I’m hooked. I’m truly feeling the excitement and stress that a real animation studio manager would feel. It has cool mini games, an annoying producer, a sarcastic mother and a myriad of production and corporate employees. It’s a fun challenge as new demands appear at every level, like keeping employees happy making webisodes, episodes, and films. Try doing that while making enough money not to go bankrupt. Loved choosing the titles and genres of my TV seasons and watching them go viral. It was also exciting when one of my seasons got renewed. Next level, I get to compete for awards. Can’t wait.
