SYNAPTIC DRIVE
EDIT: More information has come to light: The majority of parts are not able to be unlocked. Despite showing up in AI battles and on the parts select screen as ???, the devs are waiting to make those parts playable. So basically, this is an unfinished game sold as a fully finished game. The rest of the review still stands.
Do not buy this game. It looks and plays like an Early Access game and is not even worth it for the avid Custom Robo fan.
Visuals:

For Fans Of: Custom Robo, Bullet Hells, 1v1 Competition, Being a Alligator, Action Shooter Combat, Going Fast, EXPLOSIONS, Futuristic World Environment, Strategy, Replayability, Being a Clown, Color Coordinating your Character, Cool Arena Designs
Cons: No Story Mode (although with how the game is designed, a story mode probably be quite bland so maybe it’s not a bad thing. Arcade mode is good for single player content.)
Netcode is bad, be ready for either laggy explosion fests online or spending time leveling in Arcade until it gets improved. For Steam users Remote Play is your best bet.

Impulsion
Impulsion is an odd game, that occupies quite the peculiar niche in terms of gaming.
The first thing that is important to note before considering picking up Impulsion is that the game is NOT a puzzle game, despite it’s aesthetic and game mechanics relating very similar to those of Portal and Antichamber, Impulsion functions more as a challenging first person shooter experience, in no way does this game involve solving puzzles.
The second thing, Impulsion is crafted by hand, inside out, to be speedran. Currently, the game suffers from a lack of content (only 25 levels and an extremely brief, confusing, story). Realistically, the only replay value in the game comes with speedrunning. Personally, as a veteran first person shooter speedrunner, I was able to complete the game in one and a half hours, from startup to “the end” screen. A player as skilled as me could completly refund the game, having experienced the full game, because there are no secrets or collectables of any sort. Because of this, I would only currently recommend this game as a speedrunning game.

I already reviewed the game but I figured I redo it.
Should you get this game? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. Does it have flaws? Yes.
What works:
-
Combining fast-paced platforming with fast-paced aiming was brilliant. The best parts of my two favorite genres.
-
The forcefield gun is really innovative and fresh, like portal, it’s one of those mechanics where, when you play the game, you wonder why nobody had ever thought of it until now
-
You control the pacing, if you want to rush in, die, and rush in again, you can. If you want to take it slow and try to complete it more methodically, you can.

Blockships
Now this game… I’m so happy I went to EGX: just for finding out about this game. You will not find anothergame quite like this. It is so fun. The game is so well refined, being a bit fiddly to rotate blocks and remove blocks from corners of a cube structure. But this shouldn’t push your choice away from it. If you think you could enjoy it, even if the features such as online multiplayer and bots arn’t there yet, support it, buy it, try to get some friends to try it out with you.
Bottom line is you won’t regret backing this game as that £4.99 / $6.25 / €5.89 will aid these talented people form a full game of content.

Been playing Blockships for a long time, at various trade shows, and it’s just pure unadulterated fun. Everyone from young to old gets it immediately and then it’s just game after game of explosions, laughter, and victorious cheering.
It’s easy to pick up but there’s a great amount of depth and strategic awareness to the gameplay. You try to keep track of both the contents and positioning of your opponents' ship parts, the blocks scattered around the level, and the blocks you have available. Building to counter opponents on-the-fly is super unique, and the entire battlefield can change in an instant with a skillfully placed shot.

EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone
I’ve run some very realistic flight simulation games with my Rift, Thrustmaster A-10 HOTAS and Crosswind pedals and they are fun for the reality of flying, but Valkyrie is fun for the fantasy of flying.
Starting out with a Battlestar Galactica Viper style launch into battle, this game is a blast because of how the ships don’t follow realistic physics and instead allow a fast moving ship to stop on a dime and spin and turn in any direction instantly in what would be body crushing high G-force maneuvers.

Super cool game!, I love it. I’ve played Eve Valkyrie “Classic” for the last 6-7 month using PSVR and got very addicted to it, and must admit I still am. I’ve recently switched to PC and find it better for me (still play in VR). After having played the game that I love for some month, I sort of got used to the ships and maps, so when Warzone was announced, I was really looking forward to it, and have to say it has not disappointed me.
The new maps, new ships, and new progression tree, are like a breath of fresh air, and we all, new and “oldies”, have to learn how to fly the new ships and get familiar with the new maps. It’s a learning curve that takes time, but is most welcome.

Firing Vibes
Firing Vibes is a 2 vs 2 multiplayer FPS that combines heavy vertical gameplay with a little bit of rhythm.
Instead of classical weapons like assault or sniper rifles in Firing Vibes you choose a melody. And each melody provides a unique damage pattern. Some melodies are quicker or slower in their rhythm, that leads to different types of gameplay.
Set in a minimalistic Scifi world. Your character has two special skills which allow to go about everywhere and master the fully vertical environment. The first one is a unique climbing ability enabling you to move on walls as easily as if you were on the ground. The second is the ability to spawn cubes and walls and create new pathways.
KEY FEATURES
-
2 vs 2 Online Multiplayer - Dedicated servers in Europe, North America and East Asia (and more later).
-
Shoot with music - Your only weapons are music based lasers.
-
Create news pathways - Spawning or destroying cubes helps you to move through the level in new and interesting ways.
-
Climb everywhere - Your climbing ability combined with the cubes you can place make you free to go about everywhere you want.
UFO : Brawlers from Beyond
Nice game to play with friends!!!

At first I wasn’t sure but once I started playing this game it was hard to put down. Definitely one to play with friends. It’s hilarious, technical, and lends itself to a lot of variety so very replayable. If you like Alien, co-op or vs fighting, and you have a good sense of humor, consider picking this game up.

ICEBOX: Speedgunner
**Full Disclosure: I have been bug testing and providing feedack on Icebox for quite a while. I was not payed for this, I did so because I really enjoyed the game and wanted to put in my 2 cents. The review below is of my own personal opinion.
This, at times claustrophobic feeling, frantic and addicting first person shooter brings some of the sensibilities from 90’s FPS’s forward and combines them with a stopwatch and bragings rights. Icebox: Speedgunner gives you a tight campaign experince and then leaves you to crawl, to cheat, to cut corners, to make everyshot count, to fight your way up the leaderboard a show why your beater then everyone else.

Icebox is a frantic runner game that feels how many attempts at a decent Tron game should have. The story mode is decent and teaches you what you need to know. The voice acting is decent, and un my opinion above par for an indie title. Where this game shines is in it’s online pay. Monthly and daily challenges, procedural levels that can be hard set with ‘seeds’ so you can test your metal against your mates. I can’t wait to see a real community grow around this game. For $10, it’s a bargain. Get on it.

ARK-ADE
ARK-ADE! where you get transported into arcade machine
[retro FPS] [fast pace]
equip gun that looks cool, shooting down enemy, protecting the ark and get as high score as you can and get your name on the leaderboard and ofcourse have fun
seriously though i had alot of fun even when i died a ton of time on higher difficulty
and finding secrets.
Pros:
it has a mixture of pistol whip and super hot
power-up are cool especially the laser gun!
Cons:
accidentally reload when you have power up throws away your current weapon back to default
– Real player with 8.0 hrs in game
I’ve played several hours of this & I was pleasantly surprised. Which is why I kept coming back for more.
This game is definitely a fast paced shooter, somewhere between the realms of Super Hot & Pistol Whip.
You get to move around freely, explore the different paths & the secrets within each level.
There’s power- ups to choose from & a bullet time mode.
One of the reasons I kept coming back was the insane Boss battles near the end. I couldn’t stop playing until I prevailed. This game allows you to just jump in & play, not worrying about stories or saving - it’s an arcade shooter after all. Very fun.

Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Are you seeing this because you are intrested to buy it on a sale? Don’t even read further and get it right away for these few $ it is worth. Still curious? Let me explain why my hours for this game are so high.
This game has a very active modding scene who created a variety of different gamemodes. Unlike the name deathmatch tells you there is plenty of other things to do making it fun for everybody. The community is great and in many places very helpfull. They will sort out bugs you have or simply teach you how to play the game. You should definately buy this game! Expand the review to learn about its gamemodes.

Many of us are familiar with such multiplayer online games like Counter-Strike. Now imagine the goodness of the Source engine and Half-Life 2 in such a multiplayer game and you have Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. When Half-Life 2 was first released, there was no multiplayer. This acts as its multiplayer, which was first bundled with Counter-Strike: Source, this is an awesome game and definitely worth the value.
- Gameplay :
The premise of the game is simple: kill or be killed as the Rebels or the Combine. There are two game modes available, a free-for-all Deathmatch, or a team Deathmatch. It’s sad that there are only two game modes, but the fast-paced killing will make you forget it anyway. There’s a much different stratagem than Counter-Strike; while CS will emphasize standing still to increase your accuracy, it will get you quickly killed in Deathmatch, which emphasizes constant movement and continuous attack.
