Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice. Reloaded
A poor attempt to cash in on the success of the previous game, about 25% of the locations and dialogs are from the first game, when I started playing at first I though I’m playing the first game again. puzzles are TOO easy to the point where you just need to visit all the locations a couple of times and youre done. The story line is very weak, basically one of the heroes gets some brain implant and they travel to the future to get it removed via plastic surgery, thats it. Most of the characters are reused, there are maybe 3 new characters in the entire game. The game itself is very short,

This game is more of add-on, than of sequel in a full meaning of this word. Much of game’s sprites vere reused, especially in the first location, but some new characters appears as jusk reskins of those from the “Red Comrades 1 ”. Also, albeit this game is stand-alone, it’s much shorter than the previous insallement, and can be easlily done in under in 50 minutes.
Conceptually, this game is mainly focused on how in the late 1990s developers saw “the land of the free” throught the prism of the Soviet folklore. They were also making fun of some “western realities”, that have been a fashion in Russia back then. Previous installement seemed to reflect briefly the same theme whilst our stay on the “Brothel level”, and this adds more.

Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded
Point and click adventure game with a quest to find a Russian symbol.
True to it’s Russian nature you’ll see a lot of Russian stereotypes and clichés which can be fun and annoying.
I do wonder whether I’m walking through some sort of mini-Russia
! with drunks on the streets and being poor with almost everyone asking for money and many things just broken or in a worn down state. To come accross Very rude and impolite people is something I didn’t expect, actually.
The game has a very usable system to interact with the envoirement and a handy map that will transport you trough the game if you don’t feel like taking your characters walking. Beautifully drawn backgrounds and freshly designed lead characters. Still has that olden days Russia look of course. With Russian voices make it sound true to it’s Russian nature. It’s was hilarious to hear them talk in Russian for the first time, luckely the English subtiltes made sense. That’s where this game differentiates from other point&click games, it’s Russia style of handling things.

Well, it’s a russian game. Its main characters, Peter Isaev and Vasiliy Ivanovich Chapaev, were real people who served in Russian Civil War. Then, in 1934, came a very successful and popular film “Chapaev”, so this pair became the stable character of jokes and folklore, being popular for decades the USSR existed. They only lost their former glory in in 1990s-2000s, because of changed times and morals.
And, this game was made first decade after vanishing of that country, in a dark time for millions of people. Among questions that arose then, there was one, kind of philosophical - whither to move? For some people the way to get to the answer was - since the Union’s return in the nearest years seemed to be highly improbable, it’s reasonably to sum up all the previous experiense that country, consisted of every inhabitant, had, to highlest its best, to use it as base for building something some suitable for new circumstances, and then to move on.

Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes
I didn’t much enjoy Edna & Harvey: The Breakout but I did enjoy Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes at least for the most part.
The graphics of this game fall somewhere between E&H: The Breakout and Deponia. I didn’t care for either of those styles to be honest but Deponia’s style grew on me. E&H’s style… well it never did. This game is only slightly better in that it’s a slight modification to the style of The Breakout and that it’s a much higher resolution. In terms of animating, backgrounds, and transitions… everything is great. Animations were smooth and simple, backgrounds were interesting and surprisingly detailed, and transitions were smooth. There were however a few instances of characters or parts of characters disappearing despite still being active hotspots. Such as Capu (the boy who stands in the hall near the gargoyles) being completely invisible most of the time till he gave me the love letter to deliver. There was also the bartender’s head disappearing after drinking the volcano drink. Other than having to pixel hunt the hotspot a little bit to interact this didn’t effect gameplay.

A great continuation to the first game.
Despite the line above giving you a bit of a hint, I thought it worth mentioning that despite Steam saying that “Edna & Harvey: The Breakout” was released after “Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes”, this is infact wrong and resulted in me playing the two in the wrong order. This game is the sequel. They follow each other very loosely in terms of story but I think playing them in order would be more enjoyable.
First of all, compared to the previous game, there was a big improvement between the two. You can really tell that Daedalic Entertainment had the means to step their game up. There was a bit of a time gap between the two and it shows.

Ankh - Anniversary Edition
Ankh is a fun romp of a point and click adventure game, a bit challenging, a lot tongue in cheek, and a tad 4th wall breaking. The song and dance about girls and hair is hysterical.
Game: Assil manages to get a death curse and now he must break it. Follow his adventure from breaking out of his house (He is grounded), dealing with a man eating crocodile, goofy palace guards, looney market merchants (and a very talkative slave), rescuing a damsel with attitude (Thara), some palace intrigue (and the pharoah’s daughter), a missing caravan leader, and finally the underworld and Osiris, the Lord of the Underworld.

Really fun old-school point and click game. And by “old-school” I mean it is appaently a remaster of the original game released in 2005.
Yep. It is a 12 year old game. So don’t expect it to run well on a PCMasterRace Windows 10 Beast rig with a 21:9 or 4k multiple monitor set up.
It runs great on a Windows 7 toaster. Which actualy surprised me, being that it was developed for Windows 2000, Windows XP. I did not need to set Win 7 to XP compatibility, but newer rigs than my 6 year old one may need to run the game in XP compatibility mode. The game does not have settings to adjust like modern, next-gen games. Because the game was developed in the early 2000’s. When most computers were so similar, they were not needed. So, stop complaining if you can’t get it to run well on your $6000 Beast Rig. The game was made to play on Legacy machines.

Harvester
At first glance, this game looks awful. It’s easy to dismiss it as just another zany product of the failed FMV phase of video games, especially with the game proudly and shamelessly wearing its exploitation label like a medal. “The goriest game of all time!” It says, sometimes coupled with screenshots that appear to show more gore-for-the-sake-of-gore. This is just the most obvious basis one can use to write Harvester off, but if you’re willing to venture beyond that, you’ll find many more.
It’s pretty meta, because Harvester throws the player off constantly. This in itself is one of the entire points of the game. The bizarre characters, the seemingly unclear satire on violence in video games, it’s all there for a reason, and it took me several playthroughs to get the full meaning. The first time through it’s just plain-old bizarre and enjoyable, though I recalled being intensely disappointed by the final act, especially the endings. Up to that point I had loved it in a purely “interactive B-movie” sense, but the game decided to throw even that away at its conclusion. Bundled with the atrocious combat system, it seemed like a wasted opportunity.

Before I start this review please be aware that this game features cannibalism, suicide, senicide, pedophilia, child abuse, molestation & all sorts of other fucked up subjects so if your sensitive, squeamish or a curious minor please keep your eyes/fingers off this game. (I might SPOIL some parts of the game or more so don’t read if you hate spoilers)
The best way I can describe Harvester in my opinion is the perfect serial killer simulator because of the bizarre atmosphere of the town of Harvest, the unsettling NPCs of this small town like Mr. Pottsham (obsessed with meat) who is a molester & a pervert who likes watching Stephanie 24/7 (I don’t blame him Stephanie has nice cur…… errr let’s continue) or Steve’s “mother” who is an extreme BDSM enthusiast (That bitch has all sorts of other issues which I won’t mention) & don’t forget the stages of a serial killer which you can read here http://www.criminalmindsfanwiki.com/page/Psychological+Phases if you wish.

Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska. Reloaded
This game is AWESOME! If you liked any of the monkey island games or any old school point and click/combine you’ll love this game. It has a different feature of detaching items you have previously attached so you have to really think about it. It’s a long game at least several hours as you change areas so much. It has extremely funny humor that is thrown in here and there and funny situations. If you like point and click games then you need this one for sure! 9/10!

It’s not a bad game, much better than the second part, but not great either, I feel like at some places it was a cent short of a dollar, and some non game breaking bugs were left in the game.
With some places the puzzles made sense but even when you figure out the solution there was an iillogical way to actually apply it, for example
! the puzzle with the magnet where you had to shoot it with the bazooka, clicking on the magnet with the bazooka didn’t work, yo had to click with the bazooka on one of the players in the room with the magnet And some puzzles made no sense at all, like the way you had to get rid of the dog.

AR-K
I received this game as a part of some bundle I bought way back.
I want to like this game. I wish the development team the best. But unfortunately I cannot recommend it, not even for $8 USD.
There are good, or at least decent, things here. There is some humor, including physical humor, that works. The actual voice lines are mostly fine, and what faults there are there in this audio itself are much more likely on the VA director and/or scriptwriters. Barring one jarring segment of lines I noticed in the 2nd episode where something obviously went wrong in recording or compression or something, but the team decided to use it anyway, which… fits with some of my suspicions about how out-of-time/energy/money they were feeling at the time.

AR-K may be a study in how to have an okay story, okay graphics and good voice-acting and still come out with a bad game - soo manyy problems.
This title consists of the first two episodes of the game, “Gone with the Sphere” and “The Girl Who Wasn’t There”, and the second feels way better than the first. Still, we see a lot of beginner’s mistakes in the handiwork. Basically every aspect of the game is flawed in some way or another.
Note: Review was rewritten to fit Steam’s transparent character limit.

Bully: Scholarship Edition
Played for some time and only experienced 1 cash ( 3hr mark) it’s never good when a game crashes but I knew what I was getting into when I bought this game. Been playing it nonstop since i purchased it today and i’ve enjoyed the experience over all. There really is nothing to lose if you buy it on steam if your game is still broken after doing all the fixes you find online just get a refund. (save your game constantly)
follow this guide before giving up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNS0-HxNNi0&ab_channel=Badinfos

One of the best game made by Rockstar. Bought three times (on ps2, then ps3 and now on PC) and I never regret it. Loved the story, loved Jimmy and all characters. It hasn’t aged well, on W10 It needs third party mods to work and It’s a shame. Definitely needs and deserve a remaster OR A FREAKING SEQUEL!

Grim Fandango Remastered
TIM SCHAFER’S “GRIM FANDANGO”!
There are tons of guides out there. Why you should read mine? I had beat the old version of this video-game around 8 times. Also, I damn love Grim Fandango. Trust me, you will get good info on this one.
This game is one of those that catch your soul and your heart and attach to it like if it will never let you go. It’s like if this game eat your soul, but in a good way. In this video-game you are in the shoes of Manuel “Manny” Calavera. You are a travel agent that work for a company called the DOM “Department of the Death” right at the Land of the Death, and your mission is to sell the best commission to the people that came right after death. The objective is to give to each person what deserves for being good or bad in life. The good people go to heaven, but things change when you discover a conspiracy behind the DOM and you meet Mercedes “Merche” Colomar. The world as Manuel Calavera knows it changes forever. Grim Fandango it’s a game that contains amazing art, and incredible story and a very fun gameplay.
