ChromaGun
This is a mediocre game, at best.
People keep comparing it to Portal (when I say this, I mainly mean Portal 2), but I don’t think they can be at all reasonably compared. Portal is lightyears ahead in quality: it’s several years older, yet it’s much more innovative, better scripted, better acted, looks better, has far better interface responsiveness, and probably a lot more I’m not mentioning here. I cannot think of a single way in which Portal doesn’t blow this game out of the water.
Whereas the humor in Portal was hilarious and witty, ChromaGun’s sarcastic narration misses the mark by a mile, largely being comprised of a somewhat obnoxious barrage of reused insults directed toward the player.

chromagun is a competent 1st-person puzzler where you mix colors to paint surfaces and droids to move them out of the way, open doors, etc. the presentation is very good, I liked the music and the narrator a lot. settings are okay, separate volume sliders, rebindable keys, etc. no fov or brightness sliders though, and not much to tweak the graphics with, but it runs well even on an old system. the 8 chapters with 58 levels should take maybe 5 or 6 hours.

This review is long past due, I don’t know how I didn’t write a review for this game over so many years. But by far! The best game Valve has made. Portal 2 is the definition of a perfect puzzle game. It really makes you think in a different aspect with portals, it’s so extraordinary. The story is absolutely outstanding and heartwarming, with comedic and lighthearted moments to cinematic scenes all while trying to escape Aperture Science. The visuals are nothing too captivating but very memorable. The audio is fantastic, Portal 2 has some of the best soundtracks I’ve heard out of any game it’s perfect for trying to think while going through test chambers. Everything about the main game is perfect I could play it a hundred times, come back to it years later and play it again, and it would be still just as great as the first time I experienced it.

CAT Interstellar: Episode II
CAT Interstellar: Episode II
Return to Mars as a UNC Marine for the second installment of the cult classic CAT Interstellar.
Episode II picks up 24 hours after the first episode and primarily follows the United Nations Common (UNC) Marine Sergeant Gary Freeman. In this episode you’ll navigate a treacherous Martian passage, drive a 4WD rover through Turing Canyon, and blast your way through a Martian laboratory as a Marine Sergeant on a mission to deactivate Android 42.
This experience is intended to be ~1 hour long and follows a very similar structure to the first game. It is a linear story with both first and third person gameplay.

Let’s See What You Got
I was lucky enough to get this game for free as a beta tester. I have since gotten into speedrunning it and have been enjoying it a lot. Casually the game was enjoyable albeit a little short (2 hour first playthrough). However once you complete the game there are other fun variations of the game like an all abilities mode (kinda like a NG+), and a reverse playthrough. There are also some fun easter eggs and secrets in the zones and lobby that make exploring worth while. The challenge levels found in the lobby also give the game some extra difficulty while still staying separate from the normal playthrough. All in all I think there is plenty of content here to justify the low price of $12 for a casual player.

LSWYG is a great speedgame but an awful casual game unless you are fan of difficult games.
Lets just list out some of the features that make this game good to speedrun because I have no idea how to format this review:
-
In game timer
-
Great skill based movement
-
Developed with community feedback
-
10-20 minute long runs depending on your skill level
-
Hard to get burned out of due to the short runs
-
Easy to just boot up and do a run whenever you feel like it
-
25 well designed main levels with some extra levels for anyone able to finish the game for the first time

Percy’s Last Stand
The Game, from what I’ve played of it, is pretty good, the combat is fair and the dialogue is great. Overall a pretty solid game.

Beetle Uprising
-
Very cute.
-
Very relaxing.
-
The evolution system is realistic.
-
You can feel the power growing.
-
Kind of dislike the fact that we must kill our own beetles.
-
Don’t be too boldy. It is a relaxing game. Not a “Conquer as quick as possible” game.
-
You end up with a mess on the floor.
-
Decorations are useless and lack of potential.
-
Kind of annoying how the inventories work. Lack of organization. Annoying to navigate.
Conclusion :
I am really not sure if this game is supposed to be beautiful or efficient…

While at this time it is still in early access, this title has a lot going for it even with some of the drawbacks.
Its a nice little management game with some real time tactics for the combat, that grows in depth once you start playing around with the genetics to improve your combat abilities. You go from simply looking at your highest stat numbers and trying to combine them, into looking at the genetic tree of your particular units then breeding based off that to improve on your entire gene pool, which does lead into one aspect of the game that needs some work in my opinion at this stage as you spend a lot of time just sat there, combining genes then throwing the inferior beetles into a blender to make room for the next set.

Nice game with nice graphics, takes about an hour. Of the negative aspects, I would like to note the lack of the ability to change controlls
