Press X to Not Die
Introduction
Press X to Not Die is a quirky full motion video game filled with lots of humor and plenty of death. The game is a nice throwback to older games of this nature. Stuck in a world where everyone seems to have gone mad, you have to find away to not die through button mashing on your keyboard or controller. The game is a fun experience that can definitely raise your adrenaline, don’t blink or relax because you never know when you’ll have to press X!
Story
The game starts off like any normal day, that is until your friend rushes over stating that everyone is attacking each other and you have to press X to not die. From that point on you’re thrust into a world where your survival depends on your reaction time. But don’t worry, you’ll be dying a lot and actually this is the best part. All of the deaths are absurd as is the game itself. You have to rescue your girlfriend, find answers and get out of town in one piece all of this action packed fun is also helped with ridiculous dialogue which is funny and also meta. Don’t worry about the fourth wall, it’s been destroyed.

Blue Estate The Game
First of all, I never really liked the original comics. Or “graphic novel” as they prefer to call them. The art style was all over the place, thanks to how different pages were made by different people, while the story was fully made of cliché. The only thing that used to make it special for people is the fact that it was all about Russian mafia fighting Italian mafia, but honestly, it was just the mixed art and a lot of cliché, nothing else. When you finished reading, you felt like you’ve experienced nothing new, so, it was really easy to forget about Blue Estate right the next day. The game, on the other hand, instantly caught my attention. Not only because we rarely see the games, based directly on comics without those being turned into the movies first, but also because it was a rail shooter. Back in the days the genre used to shine and we had many awesome games up to the PS 2 times, while after that the only console that tried to keep rail shooters alive was Wii. And after Wii died, there was literally nothing. And since yours truly is a huge fan of the genre since the NES times, when there were games like Freedom Force (not to be confused with 2002 game), you can easily guess that I was really glad to hear that there’s going to be another game of that kind, even though I really, really disliked the source material.

So outside of an arcade, rail shooters are extremely hard to find nowadays, on any platform. It seems that fast paced multiplayer shooters (think Counter Strike and Call of Duty) or open world pseudo shooter/tactical games (think Day-Z, Far Cry, etc.) are the way to go for most developers nowadays. So it’s sadly pretty rare to find anything that breaks the mold, and when you do, the end result is not always that great.
With that being said, however, Blue Estate The Game was a welcome addition to my steam library and breath of fresh air after playing an endless stream of fast-twitch, zombie horde, open-world shoot ‘em ups. It’s actually based on a graphic novel of the same name, which I’ve read and definitely reccomend.

Tales from the Borderlands
Wow…. just wow. This game is a must buy!
Let me start out by saying that I’ve never played a Borderlands game before this one. If you are new to the Borderlands universe, no worries. Tales From The Borderlands is able to introduce you to the world without needing any prior knowledge of the original games. Technically this game takes place after Borderlands 2, but it is summarized perfectly and requires no further knowledge then what they explain to you.
In TFTB, you play two different characters (Rhys and Fiona) as they recap the story of their adventure. Like most other Telltale games, Tales plays out like an interactive adventure, with dialogue options and choices sprinkled in.

I guess there’s a lot to say about the game but I’ll keep it short for ya’ll. If you really want to read some in-depth critisism you can check out the lower part the review. If you just want to know if this game is good for you, just read the short COOL-list up here.
COOL:
-
Tales really captures the Borderlands’ iconic mix of action and humour.
-
Dialogue is quite solid, be it in a serious or humorous scene. Has it’s off-moments though, but that’s to be expected when…
-
…You have about 10 hours of story going on. Quite a long journey with lots of twists and turns.

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die -Season One-
D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die is a true hidden gem. I consider it to be a masterpiece. It is among my favourite games, and one of the finest examples of the interactive movie subgenre. It’s also among the most immersive games, both overall and specifically due to how great it is with giving you a lot of different emotions. It’s sad, mysterious, weird, funny, and somewhat scary. It has a great balance of brightness and darkness, and not because it only plays on contrasts, but because it has bright, dark, and in-between moments, and they are placed appropriately, as well as equally good at what their purposes are. While some might claim the game is unfinished, it’s not exactly so, it’s more of a somewhat unfinished game, but worth it without a doubt. You can see it this way - even if a truly beautiful painting is unfinished to some degree, it still remains beautiful. Now let’s talk about the essential video game aspects.

StickyOrbs
Sticky Orbs is an addictive physics-based game with a one simple aim: Transport orbs from their initial location to pre-defined finish. In each level of Sticky Orbs, the player is given a number of orbs, and he needs to move them to a final location. But it’s not that easy! To move orbs, the player has only available a limited number of anchor points where an elastic band is stretched until it sticks to the orb. Once the elastic band is released, the force built through the tension will catapult the orb, thus providing the required propulsion. When the player identifies that the power and trajectory is good, he clicks on the screen to remove the anchor, and the orb will move towards the planned destination. Each anchor point has a set length, which the player cannot stretch more The player passes the level when the objective of the level i.e. managing to move the required number of orbs from their initial position to the ending location. Conversely, the player will have to start the level from the beginning if he fails this objective by not managing to arrive at the minimum required orbs.Upon progressing throughout the levels, new elements will try to stop him from completing this task including platforms, sticking elements and force fields.

Revolution 60
If you have synesthesia, get some sunglasses before you play this game, and play it with care. It’s been about two hours since I stopped playing it and I still feel dizzy, disoriented, and nauseous.
I really like this game, but the colors, the lighting, the bloom, the motion blur– all these things put together make me feel as though I’ve been playing the game while sitting inside of a spinning dryer.
EDIT: Just completed it on Girlfriend mode.
Where to start. The Internet really wants you to make things seem worse than they are, but I refuse. Revolution 60 is a game where all the pieces are in place (nearly): there’s music, sound effects, graphics (though the anatomy, esp. the characters' heads, prevents anyone from really taking the drama seriously), and a control scheme, a movement scheme, a battle system, but all the parts are so disparate that they do not work well at all together.

This game is a port of the original IOS release, and, generally-speaking, an improvement over the original game. The controls are more responsive and the framerate is extremely stable. Though the game has issues with certain GPUs according to some users, it is generally more functional and more competent than the original game, with a clear attempt made at addressing the laundry-list of technical problems the original game had. The framerate is fixed, the audio mixing woes are fixed, the synchronization errors are fixed, the model tearing is gone. The game looks smoother and moves better than ever before, and I’ll give Giant Spacekat Studio its props for getting this much done. New content was added, including new responses for Holiday, new animations, and new skins for all the characters. By all accounts, this is an outstanding achievement on Giant Spacekat’s part at fixing the game’s various outstanding issues, and it deserves respect for doing so.

Black Dream Plus
Play as a voluptuous supernatural investigator named Anna who travels to an amusement park constructed inside the imagination of a friendly gentleman who makes churros, cosplay outfits, and dances for her, where she decides to retire from her job and takes over the park, making that gentleman her father, and a self-doubting coworker tasked with detaining her into her boyfriend, while dealing with the mess a cute, awkward, and equally busty nightmare-fueled girl causes all over the place.
You basically get that and a whole bunch of other things in Black Dream, an adorable, fascinating, and overall sexy and strangely wholesome game. The protagonist is very whimsical but self-assured, and the characters have distinct personalities revealed with an incredible amount of original handmade full-screen pixel art scenes. It feels like something you would discover on the PC-98, or a classic OVA made into an interactive anime adventure. It’s not a visual novel, but not quite a regular RPG. To say it’s a hidden object game is not descriptive enough either I feel. Basically, Black Dream is like a toybox for you to uncover a ton of cute and well-made novelties that combine into an adventure with a comical, quirky, and surprisingly sentimental story.

I absolutely love this game. The music is very well done, catchy and fits the mood. The art work is clearly done with verve and style. The story is fetching, amusing and takes a few interesting turns throughout. Combat is handled in several ways adding to variety. Anna, the main character is ultra cute, and dressing her up in the many different outfits is very rewarding as you see her in various and unique outfit-specific poses. Really fun game. I recommend 101%

I’m a love interest in my childhood friend’s reverse harem!!!
I really liked the game! It has a unique idea. You can romance the boys or the MC itself! There is also a polyamory route! It has 11 endings and I had to replay a lot to get all of them. Overall, I enjoyed it. It was really cute.

A fun game filled with charm and humour
An Australian experience of slang, pop culture and a core of multiculturalism in its cast of Ao, Geum, Hong Yang and Emily.
The writing style is fun and upbeat and makes the characters feel like people you want to spend more time with and get to know further.
Multiple endings with each character, the options can lead to unexpected endings.
Mini games that influence interaction (and make you question your knowledge).
I’ve now bought this game twice now that it’s available on steam and i cant wait to replay it.

Costume Quest
A great game in all aspects. It is a relaxing change of pace in the gaming world littered with FPS’s. Don’t let that fool you though ! This is a game which will involve you for the short 6-7 hours it lasts and the boss battles though easier than average will require rudimentary strategy. In all an enjoyable game with leaves you smiling ! I mean, with Glowing Unicorns, Ghost Pirates and even Ninjithsu Scarecrows, there is little chance of going wrong :)
What’s to Like ?
1. Good story, involving for both young and old.
