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.

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.

Maneater
It’s a lot like Destroy All Humans, but even better. It’s honestly way more fun than I expected it to be. It’s ridiculous and it checked a lot of boxes for me. If you wanna be a shark eat, grow, and mutate, and listen to meta humor then this is for you! Enjoy! :D

Base Game (8.3/10)
In the game you are a shark, whose mother got killed by Scaly Pete in the tutorial, and this is the beginning of a bloody revenge raid that devastates all of Port Clovis, and not only in the human realm, because in every area there are Apex Predators to defeat.
The unusual thing about this game is that the whole game is moderated like a reality TV by Chris Parnell, who also voices ‘Jerry Smith’ from ‘Rick and Morty’, so don’t expect a biology lesson from this game.
All in all, a very fun game to relax.

Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska. Reloaded
This game is AWESOME! If you liked any of the monkey island games or any old school point and click/combine you’ll love this game. It has a different feature of detaching items you have previously attached so you have to really think about it. It’s a long game at least several hours as you change areas so much. It has extremely funny humor that is thrown in here and there and funny situations. If you like point and click games then you need this one for sure! 9/10!

It’s not a bad game, much better than the second part, but not great either, I feel like at some places it was a cent short of a dollar, and some non game breaking bugs were left in the game.
With some places the puzzles made sense but even when you figure out the solution there was an iillogical way to actually apply it, for example
! the puzzle with the magnet where you had to shoot it with the bazooka, clicking on the magnet with the bazooka didn’t work, yo had to click with the bazooka on one of the players in the room with the magnet And some puzzles made no sense at all, like the way you had to get rid of the dog.

60 Seconds!
“60 Seconds!” is one of many survival-types games, that are currently available on Steam. The biggest problem of this genre is the fact, that these days, each survival game seems like a copy of a previous one. “60 Seconds!” does not have this problem - although not without issues, it manages to stay unique, engaging and addicting.
Gameplay is split into two parts. First one is time limited (60 seconds) and is based on finding the right items, that will help you to survive next few months that your four (or less, depending on your choices) characters will spend in the bunker. Second part is basically text-based, you’ll make decisions regarding your items and situations, you will also manage your food and water. It’s not only about keeping track of your supplies, so your family has something to eat (that itself isn’t easy, but it’s definitely doable). Even if they are well fed, they still may fall sick, run away, not come back from expedition or loose their minds.

You are Ted: loving husband, father of two. You lead a lovely, peaceful life with your family until the nuclear apocalypse strikes. Now, you have 60 Seconds to decide what’s important enough to bring into the shelter with you… and survive as long as possible.
60 Seconds is not quite what I expected it to be, though in all honesty I’m not sure entirely what I was expecting of the game, but it has its charm still.
It is, in its core, a survival text adventure with some mild dark comedy thrown in. Yes, there’s a part that’s kind of action-y (the initial 60 seconds of it), but it’s played for such small amount of time it’s hardly noticeable, even if the contents are quite relevant to the development of the story.

Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes
I didn’t much enjoy Edna & Harvey: The Breakout but I did enjoy Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes at least for the most part.
The graphics of this game fall somewhere between E&H: The Breakout and Deponia. I didn’t care for either of those styles to be honest but Deponia’s style grew on me. E&H’s style… well it never did. This game is only slightly better in that it’s a slight modification to the style of The Breakout and that it’s a much higher resolution. In terms of animating, backgrounds, and transitions… everything is great. Animations were smooth and simple, backgrounds were interesting and surprisingly detailed, and transitions were smooth. There were however a few instances of characters or parts of characters disappearing despite still being active hotspots. Such as Capu (the boy who stands in the hall near the gargoyles) being completely invisible most of the time till he gave me the love letter to deliver. There was also the bartender’s head disappearing after drinking the volcano drink. Other than having to pixel hunt the hotspot a little bit to interact this didn’t effect gameplay.

A great continuation to the first game.
Despite the line above giving you a bit of a hint, I thought it worth mentioning that despite Steam saying that “Edna & Harvey: The Breakout” was released after “Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes”, this is infact wrong and resulted in me playing the two in the wrong order. This game is the sequel. They follow each other very loosely in terms of story but I think playing them in order would be more enjoyable.
First of all, compared to the previous game, there was a big improvement between the two. You can really tell that Daedalic Entertainment had the means to step their game up. There was a bit of a time gap between the two and it shows.

Though this game still has bugs, especially for Windows machines, it is a fairly interesting game that is sometimes a bit confusing to suss out what is going on. It’s fairly good.

More interesting reviews on Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page
Nice little puzzle game that combines tower defense gameplay, Tim Burton’s humorous grotesque style and easy-to-use game mechanics. With the help of his insects and animals, the boy Victor will have to uncover the secrets of the dark nooks and crannies of his house, entering into a confrontation with annoying pests. You can use from 1 to 3 types of units, depending on the type of mission to be completed and the conditions for its implementation. Each species has its own peculiarity, there are powerful punching bumblebees, and small mosquitoes, prickly hedgehogs to protect confined spaces and other specimens. The set of tactics, albeit not huge, is quite sufficient for a fun game, and various types of equipment allow you to create interesting options for defense and attack. I did not like the fact that some missions had to be completed exclusively in the way the developers intended (most often this concerned missions with one single ward). And the most unpleasant thing was the moment when a prerequisite for starting a mission was the presence in my squad of a certain unit, which can only be bought in a junk shop. It is very expensive and if there is no money for it (and I did not have it), then the only option was to start a boring grind of currency in previous missions, and in the local endless mode. This is a strange idea, to be honest. In all other respects, this is such a solid good puzzle, which is very pleasant to play in the evening, quite sincere and dynamic.

Protocol
I am here to update my review. For the most part, it’s been pretty solid besides a couple of key gameplay elements getting stuck, or when you’re trying to enter the ships computer and use the wrong combination it’s possible to get stuck in a loop, where the only way out is to force quit the game and reopen it.
I really enjoyed this game for the most part, but having to figure out if certain issues are with myself missing something or if it’s a game bug can be annoying.

I’ve been waiting for a long time to play this game. For except of the DMC5, Jump Force and Resident Evil 2, the Protocol was most anticipated game for me.
From the beggining this was VR capable game. There are some small bugs, but in most the Protocol is quite playable in VR.
For two hours I’ve played already I was not dissappointed.
1. Graphics looks ok for me, not toonish like quite bunch of other VR games. Some textures are not as sharp as it could be.
2. Gameplay is interesting, but hard, casual gamers won’t like it. Some times you have to do some boring stuff, for example you have to go back for the card, because you forgot it in another terminal. Quite like in real life don’t you think?

South Park™: The Fractured But Whole™
Hey everyone,
I definitely recommend this game, due to its replayability, humour, many references and incredible soundtrack.
They have put a lot of love and farts in this game, which makes it all the more likeable.
As stated above, the soundtrack is incredible and true to its form.
Try getting all the achievements and you’ll have some (next to) endless fun :)

Direct sequel to the first game (Literally the next day in game) going from Skyrim/Fantasy to Superheroes!
The fighting in Stick of Truth was cool but lightweight.
Now it’s deeper, richer, and more strategic, with some brilliantly designed battles that require genuine tactical thinking.
With loads of customization’s and improvements
There are buffs, debuffs, elemental magic, and summons, as well as dramatic, superbly animated ultimate attacks.
And a new grid system adds extra complexity, with chain attacks, knockbacks, and powers that force you to think about where characters are positioned on the battlefield.
