Star Control®: Origins

Star Control®: Origins

I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.

You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?

You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.

There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]

=========================================

I have bought the game myself and completed it.

Let’s list all the positives first:

  • Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.

  • Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.

  • Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.

Notes to Dev at the bottom

Do not expect a game - what this is, is a bare bones collection of concepts and building blocks in alpha state for you to experience in a very primitive manner. This is currently accessible to us customers for what is seemingly, feedback and the opportunity to offer opinions as an aid to shape the game - which is not to say these building blocks cannot someday form the basis of a very enjoyable game worthy a place within the genre. I for one like the concept - love the voxel world and think the world generated can provide a very acceptable overall graphical experience, but it’s very clear that is a very long time in the future.

A Game This Bad Requires The Power Of the UnReal Engine. No other engine could possibly export a game THIS bad.

Hollow Bliss

Hollow Bliss

Your experience in Hollow Bliss depends on your choices, deaths, and consequences. Take control of five high school friends who end up trapped within a dark home, its twisted residents out to get them. As you explore the house, the space changes around you, and how you interact with it and respond to its dangers will make an impact on your chances to make it out alive. Everyone can die, but more than that, the imprint they leave can either benefit or hurt the chances of the others also trying to survive. You’re in a horror scenario, it’s up to you to make your choices of how to get out of the situations you find yourself in.

After the death of his childhood best friend, Chris Lansan struggles to feel normal with his friends, old and new. There was a comic he and his deceased friend were working on before her unfortunate passing, but it was in her possession when she died. He goes with his group of friends; Dustin, Julia, Hailey, and Sarah, to ask his mother if he could take the comic as a memento. After strange hostility from the mother towards Chris, seeing how important this is to Chris, Dustin proposes they sneak in when the mother goes out to find and fetch the comic. When they do so however, they find themselves trapped within the home, and unfortunately not alone.

Hollow Bliss is a gut wrenching 2.5D horror narrative game experience that plays out differently depending on you.

FEATURES

  • You’re in control of a horror scenario, who lives and dies depends entirely on you.

  • 32 endings, with various alternate ways every scene in the game can play out.

  • Every character has a unique ability, which if they die, is lost to you.

  • The game remembers previous runs, the past may come back to haunt you.

  • Twisted and strange horrors that’ll leave you guessing and what could possibly come next.

  • An original soundtrack and positional 3D audio adds to a thick atmosphere, best experienced with headphones..

  • A cast of characters who have more to them than you may initially assume. They may win you over.

Pulling down the moon would be easier.

Marble Run

Marble Run

With over three years on Steam, 1,250+ games, and well over 100 reviews, there is no doubt in my mind that I have NEVER worked so hard to like a Steam game as I have with Marble Run. Additionally, I have over 75 hours (some offline) in a desperate effort to find that there may be a future for this game, based on a concept that I cherish. Currently, there simply is not.

Had Marble Run been released as Early Access, this review would not be written (now, at least.) Had it been released in a complete state, or had the DEV shown more interest in improvement, I would have waited, then almost certainly praised Marble Run. (And I did buy it for two interested friends.) But nothing that has “burst full grown from the head of Zeus” (so to speak) should ever be so flawed, so incomplete, and so (seemingly) resistant to suggestion. All indications (beyond one change) are that this game may as well be chiseled in granite, as is.

Thanks for the cool game!

There are some flaws, but overall the game is very interesting. At first I could not guess as to raise the gun up. But by changing the angle of tilt I was able to send the ball across the face of the cube. It’s good exercise for the brain.

Please turn buttons items.

Good luck in the game’s development!

The Last Will

The Last Will

Literally can’t start the game cause it’s missing some file and when I try to reinstall it it keeps being “paused”….

Real player with 0.2 hrs in game

I’m sure this game could potentially be great. I only played about 10 minutes until i gave up playing it though. The sounds are very loud compared to the background music, which gives the occasional jumpscare. When you are playing or when a cutscene is rolling is impossible to tell apart, which left me very confused and i thought the game was broken several times. But what got me the most is the point-and-click aspect they were going for. It needs some work for it to be remotely enjoyable. My guy got stuck several times and when i click somewhere he will just stop at any obstacle in the way, leaving me to guide every single step to get where i want. Occasionally he’s out of the camera angle and i have no idea where i am or where im going. Too wonky, wouldnt recommend at this stage, will refund it.

Transcender

Transcender

It was definetly a new experience.

The start narration felt like torture to me thats why I always interupted it.

The second part was very intuitive and even though one doesnt know what to do or what is happening it becomes clear pretty fast. It would be nice if we would get to see more changes on the planet though. One tree - that you just see if you zoom out - and a few clouds is not that exciting.

There where drones to send out but they never reported a find.

On the station the time is always running out too fast. Only once I had more time after a choice put me into a slow motion state where time moved slower and even though I was moving slower too I could explore much more.

Transcender is something special, unique and all of its own. While, I’ve done several playthroughs, I still don’t really know what the hell I experienced. This is an awe and thought inspiring interactive experience with heavy artistic elements and nods to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (you can even see a beacon, in the AI warehouse, that is modelled after Hal) while still remaining very original. After a few runs, I do think this chapter could’ve been expanded on slightly overall but it far exceeded my initial expectations and I think Aldo Jeffrey will have some very interesting stories to tell going forward.

Inexplicable Deaths In Damipolis: Inner Thoughts

Inexplicable Deaths In Damipolis: Inner Thoughts

This game is in an unplayable, buggy state. It is my opinion that this game should not have been released in the state that it’s in. Some bugs that you’ll encounter:

-Does not appear to recognize controllers

-Both English and Espanol language options are labeled “Espanol.”

-“Notes” menu completely non-functional.

-Many inventory items are labeled “Placeholder” when trying to view.

-Getting trapped in menus is a common occurrence, causing user to have to force-shutdown game.

-Inventory items randomly disappear.

everybody dead, whodunnit? not only is this a question regarding the story of inexplicable deaths in damipolis, but it also applies to the game itself. everything is pretty much broken, and I guess people mentioned in the credits dunnit. they had one whole tester, which explains a lot, and I’m sure kickstarter backers are ecstatic about the result.
