LIBERATED
This review contains major spoilers. Be warned and proceed at your discretion.
LIBERATED is one of the games that you’re not meant to have fun with. It tells a dark story about dystopian future, where the government controls every aspect of human lives. Don’t purchase or gain enough via wire? Don’t post enough photos on social media? You’re under suspicion. Maybe you post an online comment doubting the current government? You’re asking to be arrested, discredited, pretty much erased.
There’s a group of people in that world. They call themselves The Liberated. Throughout the game they hunt for the proof that the government is corrupt, and ultimately, that it was behind the big terrorist attack on the school, which they needed to justify building this strict regime, where privacy is a crime.

A digital interactive comic book set in a noir cyberpunk world of complete government control, eerily reminiscent and very close to the course our own blue ball of yarn is spinning into at the moment.
What excites about Liberated is the way it’s presented. Through a slick, black and white comic book, complete with textured panels, sounds of flipped pages and reflections. You even have the ability to tilt the view around the panels a bit. It’s a complete experience of reading a comic book. I can almost smell the paper. The art is wonderful (brings to mind Frank Miller’s Sin City, even a hint of Torpedo and some other noir comics) and the way the panels are framed really glues your eyes to a single panel, letting you linger on it as long as you want.

Seekers
Welcome
Seekers is a multiplayer survival horror game where any moment could be your last. You take the role of a Seeker, a unit sent in before anyone else with a focus on reconnaissance missions. An Insect-like alien species has been spotted in a smaller farmland community surrounded by dense forest and wheat fields. The local population has perished due to the infestation. While the area has been closed off from the rest of the world there are tasks that need to be completed within the boundaries to contain the spread and save lives; though many will be lost in the process.
What Can You Expect?
-
A challenge to complete your objective and return to extraction with most of your team alive
-
Realistic damage system where one bullet in you could mean death if untreated
-
Amputation that effects gameplay if you are stung by a Stalker’s stinger
-
Side effects that come from lack of medical care and pain
-
A companion app that has updated information and interacts with your character in real time.
-

In reality if you are badly injured you will not get the same life saving care on the field as you would at a hospital; so we have incorporated this into the game. If you are shot the time you have left to live will be short, your life may be prolonged with field treatment but you may experience pain and still die. However you will live for much longer than without treatment and can be fully healed when your team extracts.

#### STORY
In the future “Mega corporations” control the world’s main powers, they aim to rise above the each other by setting out to explore and map the known universe, for the purpose of profit. Through experimenting & pushing the limits of technology the goal was to open worm holes for faster exploration and exploitation of the universe. When the first attempt was made, an unstable worm hole was opened but not to anywhere in this known universe.. the wormhole released a temporal signal that caused the inhabitants of earth to almost instantly undergo some kind of demonic transformation. Earth was overwhelmed from within days.
#### INSPIRATION
The inspiration behind SYNDER would be such titles as the new DOOM games with a bit of Left 4 Dead to name some of the main ones. With this project I wanted to make a solid story driven FPS with some arcade mechanics to add to the experience. The story will take you through multiple hostile ares as you push through SYNCity gathering what you can along the way…

Core Decay
FACE A DYING EARTH
The year is 2089. For decades past, the availability of natural resources has declined to the point of societal collapse. Nations are governed by corporations, and the planet is on the brink of an ecological collapse that will leave nothing left alive.
During mankind’s last breath arises a shadowy network of conspirators, bent on saving the human species using any means necessary – even if it means sacrificing all it means to be alive.
Follow the trails of a mysterious organization across a dying Earth, in an atmospheric singleplayer adventure of 11 locations to explore.
FIND YOUR OWN PATH
As you explore vast facilities, combat is not the only path to success. You may find that often the best approach is to avoid hostile engagement altogether and instead find creative solutions to reach your goals.
Explore alternate routes, hack computers and security systems, discover lost logs, keycodes and passwords, and use every tool at your disposal to reach your objectives.
BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL
Leave a wake of destruction as you travel across mysterious installations left behind by the ominous Contingency Accord, and turn their own weapons against them as you trigger facility-wide reactor core meltdowns.
As you traverse vast, deadly facilities, you will come across powerful armaments, experimental weapons, and secret equipment.
Use an arsenal of unique weapons and other combat equipment, as you battle both security robotics and the remnants of experiments gone horribly wrong.
DEFINE YOUR HUMANITY
You are an anomaly. Waking up in a cold storage pod with little recollection of your past, you find yourself far less human than you remember – and far more of a machine.
With strange but powerful new abilities, you are forced to reconcile with your new self, and understand what it means to be alive.
Upgrade yourself with over 100 game-changing cybernetic implants as you explore levels, defeat enemies, and gain experience.
The Drained Goddess
Spoiler Alert: Many enemies are either avoidable or just hidden. I didn’t realize this until Chapter 2. So I went back to the Prologue and just as I expected, both wasp swarms and the nest itself can be destroyed. Same to the boss in Chapter 1. But it really confused me in Chapter 2. The mission journal does provide some clues to hidden enemies. But I believe that most players don’t even know there is a full featured boss in the graveyard. Clues are confusing and it needs several props to unlock the boss, let alone that the boss can’t be defeated without weakened first. I suggest the developer to inform players about this optional enemy mechanism since the Prologue, and make clues more understandable.

Pleiades - A Subversion Saga Game
Seems like the few people who have reviewed the game haven’t had a chance to spend a ton of time with it, so I thought I would chime in with a more detailed review. It’s gonna be all kinda jumbled cause I’m just gonna write what I think and keep writing until I think I’ve covered everything. I was hesitant to give the game a chance due to the low amount of reviews and the one lengthily negative review. After watching the trailer, I really wanted to see what it was all about and give it a chance. I’m glad I did! When I found out the game was developed by one man over the course of a few months, it blew my mind! That’s crazy, especially for a game with this much going on in it! That’s another reason I decided to write this review, this game deserves more attention and love from people who I know will enjoy it. Anyways, I approached the game with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. As the negative reviewer states, the game doesn’t really do anything revolutionary in the mechanics department. Hell, most games don’t nowadays. The mechanics work well though and I very much enjoyed running around using my different light sources to explore the very unique and diverse levels. Not to mention the enemies in the game, which aren’t anything crazy but they are satisfying to kill and add more to the story than really present a major challenge. Although I did die a few times and often found myself running for my life. Where the game makes up for the lack of mechanics innovation, is in the rich story. I think the negative reviewer is not the type that is into immersing themselves in a world and was just trying to run through to “beat” the game. I took a completely different approach. I let myself get lost in the story, exploring every inch of the levels and I found myself taking a deep interest in the details strewn about. Take the papers scattered around the world for example. In most games I look these over and just keep going because they are usually some boring writing that’s not really relevant to anything and doesn’t add much to the game. With Pleiades, they are pivotal to the full experience. I stopped to find and read as many as I could and it was always something different. Sometimes it was just a nothing note, but it still added to the richness of the world and explained something about it’s strangeness. Sometimes, I caught myself laughing out loud as I read the hilarious woes of a notes author. Other times, I was highly intrigued by the science-fiction accuracy to real world UFO research. This guy that made this game really knows his UFO stuff and he made an excellent game and story that really entertained me. Some of the papers hold information that is absolutely vital to moving forward in the story via key codes or clues, etc, so I highly suggest reading every note you find and enjoy piecing the story together like that. None of the notes are really all that long and it never seemed like a chore to me like some games make it. But if you don’t like reading, or don’t like that type of story telling addition then this probably isn’t the game for you. Moving on, I think the voice acting is pretty damn good. Especially for a game made by one man, on what I can only assume was a really low budget. The main character Michael is actually voiced by the creator of the game and he does a great job of bringing the story to life with a very unique and enjoyable voice and character. Sometimes the acting is a little corny but given the rest of the humor peppered throughout the game I really think that was on purpose haha. The attention to detail given to every aspect of the game, story and world makes me think everything was intentional. The other characters don’t play massive roles vocally but there is some quality content in there. The overall writing of the dialog is great and moves the story along at a nice pace. I don’t want to give away any spoilers to the story but it is a great story in my opinion. If you are fascinated with the UFO subject like I am then I think you will really enjoy it. I really enjoyed the rest of the sounds and audio in the game including the music. It was all very unique and different to what I am used to. The footsteps on wood and some other surfaces are a little corny and outdated but they aren’t that prevalent throughout the game. I think the guy who gave the game a scathing review kept saying things like you walk here, do this, then walk there and do that or something like that haha I’m pretty sure that’s like every game ever haha Anyways about that, I really enjoyed running around and exploring and walking through the puzzle areas and taking the full story in while doing so. The puzzles aren’t anything mind blowing but they are certainly interesting and I found myself having absolutely no clue what was going to happen next, which I very much enjoyed. I kept thinking I knew exactly what was going to happen next and I was almost always wrong. The game certainly has a few “scary” moments and an overall aura of mystery and fear but it isn’t overly scary and I wouldn’t really call it a horror game. It’s more of a mystery with hints of horror. What else… the graphics are pretty damn good, a little dated and certainly not AAA status but I enjoyed the art direction and a lot of the world does really have a lot of detail. Not too often you see UFO’s in video games so seeing those parts of the game made me extra excited. The game runs really well. To be fair I am playing with a GTX 1080 at 1440P so it’s probably a bit overkill for this game. The levels were really well laid out and I found myself using the camera in the game to take quite a few pictures of really beautiful shots. (Which save to your PC so you can share them!) They aren’t the biggest levels, some are bigger than others but there is a happy medium. There is plenty of painkillers and light refueling items strewn about to make it relatively easy to make it through the game and there are no difficulty settings either. I’ve never been the guy that enjoyed games that make it near impossible to beat, so I really enjoyed the easier approach to survival and not having to sweat bullets or re-load all the time. Sometimes I just want to experience a game, enjoy the story, have some challenges but nothing over the top and Pleiades delivered on that experience. Cut-scenes are at times breathtaking, sometimes hilarious and other times a little lackluster. Overall they are great and the pacing of them is good. This isn’t the longest game. I took me about 5 hours to beat it and I was poking around exploring a lot. I know I didn’t catch everything though and I intend to go back and give it an even more thorough play through in the future. (There was a secret area I found but didn’t have all the clues put together to access it.) I wish the game was longer and there were more enemies and weapons and all that. BUT I did enjoy having a more limited experience for once with a game. Where it’s not all about getting new weapons to kill the enemy in a slightly different way. The game focuses on the story and gives you a handful of mechanics that aren’t extraordinary but do the job and fit well. Well, I hope this answered some of your burning questions if you were on the fence about getting the game. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it if you are intrigued by the UFO topic, enjoy exploring and reading, like to game but aren’t in dire need of a massive challenge and you’d rather just experience the story. The ending is EPIC!

This game is a FANTASTIC value for the price. While was initially confused, it is quite immersive and story-driven. If you enjoy games focused around a bit of mystery and heavy storytelling, this is the game for you
