Manual Samuel - Anniversary Edition
I would like to recommend this game, really, but the final act totally ruins the experience, bringing everything to a grinding halt for what is otherwise a humor and story driven game.
It’s got fair-to-ok humor, lots of jokes that reminded me of the old Diskworld games, especially with the narrator interactions. However the humor is clearly targeting men, as the jokes are mostly physical humor, denigration and toilet laughs. Samuel literally pisses all over himself, and repeatedly vomits as a function of the game, which often comes across as lazy humor.

What is Manual Samuel ?
For a game that started pretty well with a funny sense of humor and a nice personality, its a huge shame it felt so hard on its face, Manual Samuel presents itself as a overconfident indie game but everything is just so pretentious and kinda mediocre towards the end, in fact after the initial moments the game started losing momentum, for a game that presented itself as something refreshing and well-done early to become something so boring and uninsteresting so fast was a huge shame, lets talk about why below.

Awkward
A really solid and well-made party game, it’s like a piece of art in my steam library.
-
Haven’t encountered a single bug/glitch
-
Fun, entertaining and trippy artwork
-
Clean user interface
-
Great sound design
-
The way the gentleman pops up and says “Awkward!”, is a really nice touch
-
Native controller support, which is something that can be overlooked in these sorts of games
-
The “super awkward” update essentially sorted out the only issue the game had, which was the wait for round 3
– Real player with 5.3 hrs in game
So what is Awkward?
It’s a simple yet addictive opinion guessing game. It’s fun with a friend or partner but should be most fun in a group where you try to do better than the others. I found the comparison with the “rest of the world” to be less interesting than I had hoped, so I can’t really recommend playing solo.
Final verdict: Wait for a sale!
Strongest point: A game in your steam library you can play with any person. Plus: Geat artstyle.

Dungeons and Undead
INDIE FANTASY LOCAL MULTIPLAYER GAME FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, SET UP ON THE WORLD OF ETERNALIA
Two games in one; Classic Arcade mode and First Person Medieval Shooter. There might be a third mode coming if you people like the videogame; a party RPG, integrating the story of the Essence Reaper Ritual with the mechanics of this videogame. You decide!
FEATURES AND CONTENTS
-
Local multiplayer fantasy game, for 1-4 players, sharing same screen.
-
Steam Play Together. Invite your friends to play with you even if they dont own a copy.
-
An Arcade mode campaign, to play with your friends or solo. Hack and Slash.
-
A First Person mode, following the same campaign than that of the Arcade mode.
-
An Arena mode; gather your party, venture forth and face five waves of enemies, each wave of increasing difficulty.
-
5 different characters, each one with their uniques skills and combat styles.
-
Subttile and menus in three different languages; English, French and Spanish.
-
Beta version will have one full playable level. As we move forward, up to 4 more leves will be added.
-
Each level is set up in a different atmosphere, with different enemies.
The idea of creating this videogame came in when spending time with our young family members (e.g. nephews and niece) playing a videogame. It should be easy to play, not too many buttons, yet plenty of fun. We are scripting from the very beginning everything to accommodate three languages; English, French and Spanish, so the videogame will be available en those three languages.
We just give you for now a video and a couple of screen capture of the first tests.
We are thinking on adding a script to be able to import your own pictures to the game, so instead of having the 4 portraits of each character, you may import yours. I bet my niece and nephews would love that.
Alpha version of the videogame, actual game play, is working well.
Initial early version: integrating First Person Mode on split screen with main campaign, for up to 4 players;
GAME CONTROLLERS
You may use;
-
Xbox One controllers or similar
-
Keyboard & Mouse
LOCALISATION
I have been integrating different languages from the very beginning of programming / development. I use Dialogue System from Pixel Crushers which allows easy integration, and for specific short texts as in the Main Menu, I have just hardcode it. Once you choose a language, Dialogue System keeps / save that info for the entire videgame, so upon load an scene, Dialogue System load all previous saved data including language chosen.
Struggling
The final boss that people have been calling buggy and rage inducing is being reworked sometime in the next week to make it much “less random and less punishing” [EDIT: It is fixed now]. You can chat with the devs and other players on the Struggling discord, and they’re really responsive to player criticism.
Literally every part of the game apart from that boss is incredible: the gameplay, the visuals, the music, the hats, the other bosses, everything. You can play singleplayer or local multiplayer (remote multiplayer with Parsec), and the controls are weirdly intuitive. It takes about 6-8 hours to complete for the first time, but there are so many great bossfights and paradigm shifts that you’ll wanna play again. The game is very replayable since are about 50 hats to collect in secret areas, and each challenge has many ways to be beaten.

Man this game is a BLAST.
The humour in this game is the best, me and my friend were laughing our asses of till the very end. The controls are a bit like the controls of games like getting over it where it doesnt feel unpolished or shitty, you just suck.
All the negative reviews are either from people complaining about there not being online coöp even though there’s apps like parsec that work amazingly with this game (or you just use steams own remote play tho that’s a little buggy if ya ask me), or from people that say the game gets boring after a while even tho the humour and small parts where you gotta actually use your brain and skills keep it fun and hella entertaining.

Universe
The Vectordic Union is a galactic government that presides over the majority of the Milky-Way galaxy. In the year 2386, following the genocide of the human race, the many other species became divided without any form of central governance. Douglas Simmons, a general in the Giraffe army, took charge of the galaxy by creating the Vectordic Union.
President Douglas Simmons, in his inagural address to the people of Milky-Way, famously said:
Eh yo man does anyone have some paper with which I could roll this plant matter into a cylindrical vessel?
Ever since this day, the galaxy’s primary social classes have become further and further apart, leading to an insanely profitable small set of corporate overlords. Current President Darnel Simmons has gone missing, and the balance of power is teetering for the first time in almost a hundred years. As part of a band of smugglers aboard a rickety nuclear-powered starship, an unbelievable mystery unfolds.
More lore can be found on our website as well.
REZ PLZ
You’re going to enjoy this game if you’re playing in single player mode… but you will have missed out on something really special. This game was designed for you to be sitting next to your friend. I play a significant amount of co-op games, but Rez Plz scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. They turned “friendly fire” on its head and gave me a world that I can spend hours in, ignoring story, and just mess around with a buddy.
The puzzles were fun. The pixel art is super creative with really cool death animations and sprites. The game mechanics put a very refreshing twist on a platformer.
