The Black Heart
CHECKLIST
☑ A stabby, murderous child
☑ Grudge noises
☑ A tree that can, and will, kick fruit in your face
☑ An undying, genderswapping masochist
☑ A sexy spider lady
☑ A Lovecraftian worm creature that just-so-happens to be purple
The Black Heart features these six vastly different playable characters, each representing a different aspect of horror. They all mesh together into a smooth, satisfying fighting game that is wildly underrated in the mainstream FGC. The story and presentation are top-notch, as is the music and sound design.

A cool looking fighter game with horror and gore? sign me in!
At the time of writing this review I haven’t played the game a whole lot, but what little I did experience was very good!
…for the most part at least.
The only negatives I can think of are: the lack of content, and the lack of characters (although considering the price it’s no wonder that there isn’t as much content as in other fighting games). I understand that this might drive some people away from it. But if you happen to be brave enough I can guarantee that you won’t be dissapointed!

Out of Place
Out of Place deals with a serious theme telling the adventure of a teenage protagonist and his machine companion.
It shows the challenge of questioning the irresponsible actions and opinions of older generations without losing your roots. Moreover, it underlines how hard it is to overcome the fear of the future, but instead take action for a better world. These topics are embraced in a relationship between two teenage boys from different dimensions who form a strong bond to help each other despite their cultural differences.
The intense experience is accompanied by beautiful handcrafted visuals and soundscapes.

Send one squad to clear the roads send one to scavenge send one to build at camp send one in different zones to scout yea this is my jam love the game. Does have a learning curve that will frustrate a few players i my self took it as a challenge ( scratched my head for a bit trying to get my team to unload vehicle into warehouse side note they wont unload whats not clicked to unload open vehicle inventory and select items you want to transfer) . Vehicles is the key to survive do not use a slow van to clear the packs use a fast one and drift! takes practice but works use the back of the vehicle to take them out if a zed is behind you on the right side make a left and a right if its on the rear left do not drive away from them and then turn around and drive right into them that will kill the vehicle fast. Different survivors have different skills and buffs use those fast ones to break up a large pack of zed and let them chase you back to your vehicle to take out (thin the herd) speed 10 survivors cant be caught when running away.There is a lot to this game i barely made it to the industrial zone and sank 20 hours playing, remember to put on backpacks walkie talkies and head lamps when you find them and more cloths to increase your resistance and train when you learn how to make training buildings just know the dead will come for you at your camp when its big enough they will notice and you will have to defend from raids. Having a blast with this game i highly recommend.Just a side note where you start is not the only camp you can make, that one is not to good the warehouse is to far from the vehicles that need to be unloaded use the one in the farm lands.have fun i know i will.

Great game. Somewhere between Project zomboid and state of decay. Took me awhile to get the hang of the User interface and basically not getting eaten. But if you stick with it you will see a unique zombie survival experience. Great resource management system. The Dev is very busy adding improvements and updates based on community questions and peeves.
Train your people! I waited to long to get my training going and making everyone capable of protecting themselves. One thing I love is once you have a well armed-trained group and a couple of armored vehicles, scavenging becomes something different. I send out a caravan of several armored vehicles and the game starts to feel like an RTS.

Tails of Iron
I absolutely adore this game. I’m going to break it down in to sections
Story:
I like the story, its the typical hero has to save a kingdom. However with their use of characters and different locations it helps you move away from from that stereotypical hero also being a rat fighting frogs and bugs helps this as well.
Narrator:
Special mention the narrator is brilliant in this he adds some grit to the story and i feel like its another great layer to this game.
Combat:
I love the combat in this game. Its brutal, this game really punishes you if you make mistakes but once you master it you can have a lot of fun. Its a very simple combat system but it works so well. I will admit i sucked at the start but once i got through it i really started to enjoy the game. Another great little feature is executions. Each enemy has a brutal execution that you can do on them

Grabbed this up after reading a few reviews and watching the trailer and glad I did!
I went into the game with a curiosity for how they would handle RPG elements and combat in a traditional side scroller. It reminded me of old school Wonder Boy meets that classic book series RedWall. It was a nostalgic hit for me.
The mechanics were simple but well executed. Combat was just challenging enough to keep you on your toes but not so intense to need breaks (Ahem.. Dark Souls) I found the art style both endearing, charming, and savage as they didn’t pull any punches on cartoon gore – which I respected.

INCARNA: R•AI•D
‘INCARNA: R•AI•D’ is a sci-fi style adventure game with lots of puzzles and plenty of hidden things to find. You get about via way-point platforms, but you can walk about freely on each of those platforms but you teleport between them. While the graphics are low-poly they have a clean look to them with some great animation giving it an alien world style with lights and crystals everywhere making the game feel quite magical. There is a little bit of everything to do in this game from bow and arrow shooting, to really complex puzzles that don’t give you a single clue about how to finish them which will eat up the gaming hours. I think £16.99 is a great price and most people will get their money’s worth in gameplay hours here provided you are willing to try and find every hidden cube. I for one love it and its easy for me to recommend it to others.

A good 2 hours of gameplay, very simple controls and a neat story.
Throughout the game it never became clear if the events play out in “reality” or in a simulation. Not that it matters.
The movement system might feel limiting, but it fits well with the combat.
At some point I assumed that the game is much longer and I still hope that there will be additional content later.
Also there is a balanced mix of puzzles and aiming skill challenges.
I recommend this game for the casual player with a fable for bow and arrow games.
