In It Together

In It Together

In It Together is a puzzle platformer inspired by classic platforming games that makes you complete puzzles with a lot of different mechanics and with varying difficulty. The game has a lot of content with 50 stages in single player, and 50 more stages in co-op. In addition to this there is a Battle mode, which is really fun to play with friends. The Battle mode has 15 more stages, and several different ways to play, so there is a ton of replayability. If you like platforming games with a bit of challenge this is definitely a game i would recommend picking up. If you want to test out the game before purchasing it i would highly recommend downloading the demo as it lets you get a sense of how the game is played.

So I decided to check this game out as it was made by a YouTuber I used to watch when I was younger, it was cheap and it didn’t seem to get much attention. I’m glad I did because this is a legitimately great puzzle platformer game. Your objective is to go into a small level to collect briefcases and gold bars by picking up and throwing objects that will help you get to your objectives. For example throwing plants to break glass. Sounds pretty simple but each level introduces cool new mechanics and things to pick up that expand on the formula in clever ways, but the level design doesn’t waste any time in getting you to grips with them without ever getting overwhelming, so you’re constantly getting those “aha!” moments you want in a puzzle game without being bored by tutorials or being stuck in the same section for too long. I’m only on World 3 of I believe 5 but I don’t see the game getting any worse (I like it enough to review the game now). The levels themselves are fairly short so it’s a great game to pick up for a bit and put down but it also can be pretty addicting to go for another level right after finishing one. The game also has a pretty cool sense of style with its character designs and white outlines over a dark environment.

The 18th Floor

I really enjoyed the game so far. The puzzles are challenging and I really like the style. But I’m a little disappointed with the lack of transparency from the creators. The last news we have been given is that more puzzles will be released in Q4 of last year. We are now on the brink of Q2 this year and still nothing. I just today found out that PSVR was updated but not steam (which bummed me out). So I would love to know what the deal is and if we can expect the DLC for Steam players soon too. Please AOGA Tech give us an update! I see that there are new achievements so I hope that means it won’t be too long. AOGA, I humbly ask that you keep the people who invested in your game updated in regards to progress. When I bought the game I thought I would be seeing more than 2 floors by the end of the year. Please let us know what to expect AOGA! I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate it!

personally, I really liked the game but to be honest, I thought that the puzzles were a little overboard. There are things going on in the puzzle that I swear only people who created it would be able to figure out. I was starting to wonder if some of the people trying to help out were people who actually made the puzzle themselves and realized that it would take many days for the common player to figure out. The one thing that I really messed up is the fact that some of the puzzles are hard enough to figure out that it will take some people more then just a few minutes and yet, if you dont finish it, you cant save it and have to start all over. There does need to be a save feature so we dont have to keep playing the same scene over and over again. A save feature may also help out with the common problem of dropping something and having the item disappear into the floor so that you cant use it and then have to start the game over just to get it back. I do recommend the game though. I thought the graphics were great and I was fully into the game. I do look forward to the next installment

Escape The Ordinary: Tales of Romina Manor

it was a great game. i like rpgmaker games so i enjoyed a lot.

Can be finished in one hour. Maybe 2 if u are an idiot cuz i am.

  • i like the little detais in the game. They made me smile.

but there are something to fix:

1- u can get into house by window without needing a key.

2- stucks when you go back your home then the other pleace

3- stucks when you go to bathroom for the second time

4- Song stucks in your mind when you see “Mirror mirror on the wall”

There was a lot of item that we can collect but some of them (a lot of them) was not usefull. I guess they are for confuse the player. Not sure…

Cool Mystery game wrapped in an easy to play RPG format. Love exploring the map and seeing Easter eggs and fun comments left by the developer. This game also stood out in that not everything you pick up is useful. This is much more like the real world experience. Wish there is slightly more hint later on in the game, but overall a fun game.

Too many bugs. Development appears to be an ongoing project. Very interesting in concept but frustrating to play.

The developer needs to reassign the controller buttons. After wandering around without encountering much of anything at all the game became uninteresting to me.

Silver Creek Falls: Chapter 1

Silver Creek Falls: Chapter 1

Interesting game, but the dialog is rough, and a bit immature for the characters involved. Who says ‘Cool!’ when asked to investigate a crime scene?

The voice acted bit was…Hm. Well, the accent was far too ‘Southern Belle’ when it should have been more ‘Decorated Lawman’. I was honestly reminded of Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal of Clay Shaw in 1991’s JFK. While Jones' performance was stellar…the accent does NOT fit this kind of character. Also, I find if difficult to believe that the Sheriff would leave a cryptic sounding note for HIMSELF. If it were re-worded to be intentionally listened to by a third party from the beginning instead of at the tail end it would have been easier to suspend disbelief.

TL;DR: The first chapter of an investigation and mystery game saga promises an intriguing story line but lacks in its potentially coolest features.

RPGMaker game that is not an RPG, Silver Creek Falls puts you in the shoes of two police detectives who are presented with a case of ominous disappearances at the small town of Silver Creek Falls. I will try to keep this spoiler-free for the important bits, because the story is so short for the time being. Note that only chapters 1 and 2 are out. The third and last one will come in 2016.

Recontact London: Cyber Puzzle

The Technology points are out of proportion, to win each puzzle. It costs to do Satellite, you need at least extend view (5 pts) and 360 degree view (15 pts)…. to solve each sat tracker puzzle. The win technology points are most of the time 0 (zero) gain it rewards box, before pressing Start. It takes a long time to gain points in decipher at 1 point every 9 minutes. This makes it unplayable, til you get enought to buy – Extended/360 views. Have played 31 hours so far, and I’m Not Impressed with game as it now stands —- Sorry Devs, back to drawing board at this point.

I really, really wanted to like this game. I love FMVs, I love investigation type stuff, this is right up my alley. The early parts of the game looked great.

But then you get to a point where you realize that (at least in its current state) the game is just a big mess.

Progression seems to be based on an attribute called “sense” that you increase by correctly playing minigames. You have to find specific people in video footage, like Where’s Waldo but with moving video. You have to track things moving across the city. You have to uncover a pattern hidden in static. You can control a drone looking for things in homes or buildings. But where the trouble comes in is that by messing up in the games, you can lose sense instead of gaining it.

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.
