»Anyway, how much rust do you need in order to “pull the panties down”?«


This review contains no major story spoilers.

Haven is a narrative-driven adventure that tells the classic, almost cliché story of two lovers on the run from an oppressive force trying to drive them apart. Luckily, the way the story is written and conveyed is pretty damn amazing and easily takes center-stage. The Game Bakers delivered something quite unique in many ways, and it is easy to fall in love with many aspects of this flawed gem.

Lifeflame Compendium

Lifeflame Compendium

Lifeflame Compendium is a WarBreedFarm RPG. These 3 main aspects of the game co-exist in an equilibrium that revolves around Lifeflame.

Lifeflame is a resource that enables entities to live, and is therefore the main driver for all creatures that want to stay alive. Players and NPCs alike gain Lifeflame by eating and drinking, herbivores start by foraging while carnivores must rely on hunting.

Both plants and animals age and then breed, passing on their traits to their descendants and giving way for the next generation.

With time, farming becomes the most efficient way to produce food, and together with crafting, civilization begins to develop to more advanced stages.

Prosperity, however, always precedes times of war, especially when resources grow plenty on one side and scarce on the other, giving rise to great clashes of swords and magic.

You will come to life onto this interconnected world, learn how to harness its resources and thrive in moments of peace, war, passion, mystery, adventure and romance!

Duo Defenders - Tower Defense

Duo Defenders - Tower Defense

It’s amazing. It’s beautiful. It’s hilarious. This game was made for Steam Remote Play, but I can’t wait to play it on a TV with a friend! #TeamKoko

Real player with 8.1 hrs in game

Duo Defenders mixes fun co-op gameplay with one of my favorite game genres, tower defense. The tower defense gameplay is delightfully simple, and it feels more focused on team work - you can quickly get overwhelmed if you don’t work together and communicate, but that’s also the fun of it! Levels are pretty well-designed such that each level is a new teamwork challenge. The later levels are daunting for non-gamers, almost wish there was another faster/better character to select if one of the players is struggling, which would make it more casual.

Love 💖: Interactive Therapy 💖

Love: Interactive Therapy is a relationship application for married couples looking to stimulate love, affection, romance and intimacy in their relationship. Build a stronger more intimate bond with your partner and improve your relationship and love life. Complete daily challenges, complete simple daily and weekly evaluations and have a great time rating your partner’s progress as they rate and review your own. Simple and fun, both partners have an equal say. *For married couples, engaged or in a healthy long term relationship.

Benefits of Love: Interactive Therapy:

💖 Develop a Fun and More Pleasant Relationship

💖 Gain Deeper Intimacy and Romance

💖 Create Better Understanding & Cooperation

👫 Daily Challenge:

💕During the Daily Challenge you are both given 3 goals to achieve each day. After the end of the day, each partner gives a quick assessment on how well the other partner achieved those goals. You both then review the results and end the day. Merit points are given to your partner based upon how well they achieved those goals. Merit Badges are also earned as you gain Merit Points. Results and progress are carried on to the next day and throughout the week. Each week, you are given 3 new goals to achieve daily for 4 weeks in total. The assessment and review only takes a few minutes each day and is very simple to complete. The development can also continue long after the 4 week goal is achieved. All progress can be saved.

👫 Weekly Assessment:

💕At the end of seven days of your daily challenges, you and your partner will be given a weekly assessment. Each evaluation session is a few minutes. You and your partner each respond to a series of phrases through several response options. You then review each other’s responses and then conclude the session with discussions or silent reflection. Each private session can last 5-15 minutes. The complete couple’s session can last from 30 minutes to an hour. Once the weekly assessment is completed, a new week is started with new Daily Challenges and goals.

👫 Time Involved:

Weekly assessments are simple but can grant amazing insight for both partners to reflect upon. You both can discuss the results or can opt to not discuss the results after they have been reviewed. The option to go over areas of concern is also available. No 3rd party is ever needed.

👫 Merits and Rewards:

💕Merit Badges are earned through progress. Your partner’s assessment of your progress determines the points earned and the badges you receive. You also in turn determine your partner’s progress equally. Your perspective of your partner and your partner’s perspective of you is what matters most here, not the accuracy of the assessment. This is what is reflected over time and inspires motivation on both sides. Accountability is also automatic and helps keep your progress honest and fair without any 3rd party intervention.

Divinity: Dragon Commander

Divinity: Dragon Commander

This review contains of three parts:

1. What game is it actually/what does it contain?

2. How do I feel about certain parts of it?

3. Summary.

1. Divinity : Dragon Commander

This game is an interesting mixture of turn-based strategy, RTS with a possibility of turning to TPP and continuing the fight, and to some degree a Empire builder. I will use few comparisions in order to describe it for newcommers. If You liked Total War series for the turn based strategy and the possibility to command Your troops on a RTS battlefield, but You found both parts a bit too complex this game may just fit Your taste. How is the RTS part handling? Well it can be compared to Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, but again in a more simplistic way. The places on which You build are not only limited but also fixed, and the whole game is basing on the land controll with one resource involved. The number of units avaiable is smaller and there are no fraction specyfic units. That doesn’t mean that there is no micro/macro cntroll involved. In fact the ‘rock-paper-scissors’ mechanic seems fair enough and even the most low tech units remain usable in late-campagin matches thanks to their special abilities. Storyline? Hymmm. I can’t say I did not sink into it, but it really is a rather linear story with one ending. Again I would compare it to the Witcher style of handling the storyline. You can do various things by anwsering many choices. There are no good anwsers as each option rewards ou with something and punishes You with a other one. But ultimately there are three acts, that lead the main storyline. You can either win the campagin or loose it. There is also a random campagin mode that takes out only one part of the story and gives You a chance of discovering personal plots and endings without the need to go through the same three maps again. Multiplayer. As it stands the UI is a bit lacking at the moment but still the matches give a lot of fun. With dragons fighting in the skies while micro managing their armies and macro managing the factories the RTS gets really interesting.

It’s a pretty good game that could have been really awesome. They were really ambitious with it.

The main issue is that they didn’t have the budget for this one and Divinity Original sin, which they were developing at the same time.

So they had to pick one or the other, and they picked D:OS, which makes sense because it was more in line with what they’re good at doing.

Even so, Dragon Commander got made, though they ended up cutting a HUGE amount of content. Like, the game that you see is about 30% of the final product that they strung together and published before moving over to D:OS

TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2

TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2

It feels so good when you can make full laps around the TT without crashing, let alone “win” the Senior TT on the same bike you own in real life, or even break Peter Hickman’s time…You’ll have to play with the gearing and suspension later in the game when the parts are unlocked to squeeze out the performance where you need it.

I also have Ride 3 and MotoGP 20, but I have the most fun with this game.

Some things I think would put this game over the top:

1. Optional replay view (after race completion) from perspective of the people spectating on the side of the road as you pass by at 203 MPH or like the YouTube videos at least. Maybe keep your fastest stats per turn where even the Legends get nervous and show those replays of how you’ve been faster through that area or turn. I would even pay for this as DLC, since this isn’t actually crucial for the game to play. This feature could even allow friends to view on the sidelines as you’re racing and then notify you that someone was watching after the race - so not to distract you.

Real player with 253.5 hrs in game

In short, this is a soul-like racing game. Forget about the sense of speed, the best of this game is the sense of danger!

In 3rd person view, you won’t feel the physics. You need to play it in 1st person view. Camera movement means bike physics and that also help you to learn every part of tracks then conquer every track.

Serena

It is important to tell upfront that this is not a game in the common sense of the word, there is no real gameplay here. This is an interactive story, so people not interested in that can walk along.

The whole game takes place in a cabin lost in the woods, where you unfold the plot by exploring objects and opening furniture. The main character is deftly voiced, his emotions are convincingly genuine. There is no jump scares, loud sounds, and so on, the fear comes from the well crafted story and presentation. The game world might be small, but each items hold lots of memories, and as the plot advances, you see them in completely different lights.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Serena is a short adventure game that packs a truck load of emotion, inviting you to investigate a painful mystery. When I was browsing through adventure games in Steam, the title took my attention, yet I never got the will to actually try the game while other games that I purchased before were in the waiting line. Now that I did, I’m positive that the story will haunt me for a while. I have to declare here and now: it is immensely difficult for one to write a review about this game without giving any kind of spoilers; but I will try my best.

I recommend this game, But not on Steam.

In its Current State, The game is unplayable.

Edit:

There is an Unofficial workaround, installing ReShade seems to Solve the FPS problems, You don’t even need to install any of the filters, Just reshade, and point it at ME3 and the Stuttering is fixed.

(This isn’t a Guaranteed fix as some users found that this didn’t work or that ReShade isn’t compatible with their PC’s)

Still not recommending this as;

  1. Performance Issues

Without going to extra effort. The game Runs at a solid 60 FPS easily, but dips down frequently during cutscenes and gameplay, down to 22 and even full freezes for a half second or so.
