MultiTaskMaster

MultiTaskMaster

I’m always very wary of purchasing indie games. I find they have an alluring appeal, only to disappoint an hour into the game. Multi-Task Master is one of those games with an alluring appeal that can keep those who like being constantly stimulated or with an ADD brain not only occupied, but satisfied. I absolutely love the level of simplicity mixed in with complexity – if that makes sense.

Multi-Task Master is a game where the player must balance their attention between four screens. All four screens have different activities occurring within them, and are all controlled differently from one another. I absolutely love the fact that the tasks are related. In one task, you might be robbing a bank, while trying to keep the hostages calm, while attempting to take out the suspects, while attempting to catch money falling out of the building. In another task, you might be a boxer doing different training regimes all at one time. Another scenario puts you on a factory assembly line. All the scenarios I’ve encountered so far are pretty neat, engaging, and fun. The gameplay delivery on this one is rock solid, straight forward, and original. There are a lot of different scenarios and challenges to go tackle. Each scenario becomes increasingly more difficult and quicker over time. The player is given a certain amount of lives (to make mistakes). Make one too many, and there goes your effort!

This is a great game that offers something different to the norm. It is super easy to get the hang of, but the escalating difficulty and switching screens soon make it a real brain twister! There is also humor and stories weaved into the gameplay which adds extra depth. There are a lot of levels to unlock, and each one has a different setting so you never know what you are going to get!

Clue/Cluedo: The Classic Mystery Game

Clue/Cluedo: The Classic Mystery Game

TL;DR- P2W has been removed, cross-platform play, challenging single player, plays better than the board game.

I have been holding off on posting a review as the game had a P2W component in the form of hint cards when it first launched, and the developers had announced an update to balance this out in online ranked matches.

Well the update has now launched and I can safely say that Cluedo: The Classic Mystery Murder Game is the definitive video game adaptation of the popular Cluedo board game as it hits the nail on the head with its game design and online functionality.

This is a computer version of the board game Clue, and it’s actually pretty good. You can play with friends, by yourself with AI, or with people online. It’s a pretty good representation of the physical board game. The full version is a little expensive, but the base game is an okay price, especially on sale.

The gameplay is almost exactly the same as the board game. For the sake of speed, the game automatically takes the most basic notes for you. It will automatically record that people don’t have the cards to disprove a suggestion, and when you make the suggestion it marks that one player has the card and the other players don’t. However, everything that involves reading between the lines is up to you to mark. It is a little difficult if you’re trying to keep track of anything especially advanced, because there are a limited number of symbols you can mark the spaces with.

Mini Thief

Mini Thief

Very fun, spent hours on it already and still keep coming back. For a $3.99 price tag this is much more than I expected. And in early access? This game is my favorite at the moment!

Please don’t listen to the bad reviews complaining about losing items, if you kept everything even after being busted what would be the point or the challenge!?!?

Sometimes I have fun trying to loot and escape with no items navigating houses while setting off multiple alarms. This game is fanastic some bugs still, more so it seems in the multiplayer. But again it’s in early access so you are warned. Right now I am up to the City Bank. A hefty amount of levels for early access, I would be content if this was the cap. But I know we’ll probably see more. Already well worth the money!!

In this game you will assume the role of a thief that is behind on his rent and resorts to doing what he does best; whilst doing this you will be able to purchase equipment to help advance with each level but be warned that if you get caught, you could lose all of your equipment.

I had a great deal of fun with this game and whilst it might not be a long game, one level in particular had me stuck for at least a couple of hours. There are a total of 12 stages that need to be completed 3 times each in order to progress to the next stage. As you can imagine the final round of each stage is the hardest and my prediction is that stage 11 round 3 (The one that took me the most time) will most likely be the one that determines if you will finish the game or not.

Really enjoyed it. Fun story line. Engaging characters. Brightly colored. Lots of improvement from the first game which was also fun. Keep up the good work. Followed the clues, talked to people, and had places to go.

Rubber Bandits: Christmas Prologue

Rubber Bandits: Christmas Prologue

Fun PVP with friends. The game itself currently features three different maps to play, each having slightly different layouts. The matches are pretty quick (lasting a couple of minutes) and there is not a lot of stuff you are able to do besides fighting, BUT… When combined with friends, this game is a blast! It is fun and stupid, the more players play - the funnier it gets. And this is just a prologue, I cannot imagine how fun the full game will be

This game made me loose some laughts I haven’t lost in a while! Really fun to play with friends! Specially if you like the rival style of the game, that makes you compete harder with your friends. You can also switch teams and team up!

I can easily recommend this for all ages, it’s funny, practical and doesn’t take much to understand and to play!

It does not get any funnier than this! (Maybe on the full realease)

UNO

UNO

So this game is tons of fun, I gotta say, it’s fantastic to play with a group of friends because, as always, Uno is great fun. The card packs and new rulesets are also fantastic and really change up the pace of the game and make it even more fun, beyond what normal Uno can provide.

That’s about all it’s got going for it though. The coding of the game itself and the networking are absolutely atrocious. For absolutely no reason, people will drop from games, be incapable of fully loading into games, crash on startup, etc. etc.. Many core features (like calling out Uno) are broken to a degree that makes a potential win into a complete loss. Needless to say, the entire game is pretty much broken somewhere somehow despite the fact that it’s literally just Uno. I have no idea how you screw up Uno this badly, but these developers apparently made that a reality. If it was just one or two of these bugs in isolation, I could put up with it, but the quality of this game makes me feel like unpaid interns created it and that it’s literally just a project for Ubisoft interns to work on that generates them some cash on the side. There’s no care at all for quality put into it, which I mean sure, it can’t be that popular of a game and isn’t a flagship, but it still flagrantly displays it’s made by Ubisoft and is grossly broken. Not that I expect anything else out of Ubisoft, but for god’s sake, it’s just a damn card game, how do you make it so that just to play an online card game it can take 20 minutes of restarting games just to get it to work, only to then have people just disconnect at the start or mid-game for no reason despite them having no connection issues at all on their end?

Booze Master

Booze Master

Tea, juice, cola, soy milk. Everything tastes better with a little booze on top.

I’m Jerry. I just got back from the joint and found my wonderful estate in tatters. My woman doesn’t love me anymore, my cousin is still a pain in the nation’s healthy body, and the neighbors are driving me crazy with their insect-like racket. I will fix up this village as good as new and become the richest man within a 10-mile radius. Now, you ask me, “How can I do this?” By turning everything I touch into alcohol.

KEY FEATURES

  • Develop a liquor resort. Become the owner of an ethyl spa.

  • Collect formulas. Dozens of moonshine recipes waiting to be implemented.

  • Fulfill hundreds of orders for liquors. From the indigent to the pretentious rich.

  • Grow your own plants. There are currently over a hundred of them in the game.

  • Explore forests and the wilderness. Collect mushrooms, wild fruits, and trash.

  • Support the local community. Money invested in the village means more opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full. There is always room for more %

Experienced booze gourmet? Amateur drinker? By trial and error, you will reach perfection (and a headache, probably). Learn from scratch to create the perfect liquor. Don’t forget that creating moonshine is illegal, so do your best to keep your production undercover.

What you drink is what you are. Better ingredients - better booze - better kick

You need plenty of stuff to create plenty of booze. When you have enough cash on you, there is nothing you can’t buy. Negotiate the best prices, buy more equipment and ingredients, and hire more people. But while you’re at it, be very careful not to arouse suspicion.

What you plant now you will harvest later

Your competitors are waiting for your mistakes, they will do everything in their power to make your life miserable, and they want nothing more than to eliminate you from the business using various devious tricks. Be prepared. Remember that as your home-brewing enjoys growing popularity, the police will start to sniff around, so stay alert. Don’t get caught. Hide, create deception. Avoid publicity.

The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind

Pack your moonshine into boxes, put them in the back of the truck, and drive off like mad as cops will try to take over your precious liquor. And remember, on Fridays customers' livers are just beginning their workweek.

Don’t get high on your own supply

Unfortunately, the better booze you create, the stronger effects it can have. Being loaded at work is not the best idea

“They say milk gives you strength. Drink three glasses and try moving a wall. You can’t. Drink three shots of my booze and it moves all by itself.”

LEGO® City Undercover

LEGO® City Undercover

In my opinion this is by far the most entertaining out of all the Lego games. Both my son and I have spent a lot of hours in it. The story line is pretty long, and there is a ridiculous amount of activities and unlockable items. Activity completion is tracked with gold bricks, of which there is something like 500 of them. After 80 hours of gameplay we have only reached 220.

The detail level is amazing. The environment is a large city with a mix of destructable Lego builds and more conventional FPS terrain. I like that all the vehicles are Lego builds, and all have working damage and physics effects. For instance driving a semi w/trailer acts the way you would expect, including trying to move a trailer in reverse, or running across uneven terrain. You can even hop in the driver seat of the commuter train. And there is a working roller coaster. So much detail.

Story

In terms of a story driven game, it’s good. I really like the humour and nods to moves, TV shows, genres, songs, other games, and of course Lego.

You are Chase McCain. Detective & undercover policeman extraordinaire. You ride into Lego City on a silver… ocean freighter… and save the day! … But do you get the girl? O_O I guess you’ll have to play it to find out.

I don’t know if the directors / voice actors took queues from the Simpsons, but there were times that felt very reminiscent of that.

Mountain Trap: The Manor of Memories

Mountain Trap: The Manor of Memories

I rather nice casual point-and-click adventure, with lovely music and graphics, and a pleasant, slow pace. There are hidden-object scenes and puzzle mini-games, but the bulk of the gameplay is in the point-and-click adventure.

Unfortunately, though there is a lot to do in this game, it all takes place in a rather limited number of scenes. Another deficiency is the stilted English text and poor voice acting.

The story is not very interesting, although it does have surprises. It’s also unfinished, though note that the sequel, Mountain Trap 2, seems to have been made by a different team and is quite a different game. It also only indirectly provides closure for the story here.

The only thing that was good about this game was the ending.

after almost 3 hours of boredom i finally get to the ending and lookie here… it was a cliff hanger preparing for the second part….

pros.

ok art work

ok game play time (almost 3 hours for the main story)

cons.

very very boring…. i almost fell to sleep

no bonus chapter

very bland and boring voice acting… the voice is sooo low.. and with russian accent… it sounded like the women were recording while hiding in a room and trying not to wake someone up…. very annoying -.-"

The Deed: Dynasty

The Deed: Dynasty

Apparently, the Bruce family is just plain murderous, and somehow they’ve managed to pass their bloodlust along to subsequent generations. TDD improves upon the original game by offering three different scenarios that take place in different time periods. As with the original game, your goal is to successfully murder your target while framing someone else for the crime. Talking to different people and examining your surroundings provides you with the information you need in order to get away with murder; it’s just a matter of selecting the right evidence/murder weapon and bringing everything together during questioning.

Real player with 23.0 hrs in game

The Deed is a murder mystery, except this time you’re the Murderer and you have to get away with it! If you enjoy the idea of making the perfect kill, evading and fooling the police and getting away scott free, then you should take a closer look at this game.

This release was a quite a suprise to me, I enjoyed the first game, but never expected a sequel. Fortunately its a good suprise, and anyone who enjoyed the first game will enjoy this game, with more refined gameplay and three scenarios to play instead of one.
