Shot in the Dark

TL; DR

Pros:

  • Great level design

  • Cool music

  • Nice Art Direction

Cons:

  • Very difficult, at times unfair

Wow!

This game is really cool. The mechanics of the visual design, hiding monsters in the limited colors and backgrounds, is really cool. And the combat being limited to a standstill and aim is a cool way to encourage caution from the player. This game has been on my wishlist since I played the demo at an expo and I hope more people check out this game for the sake of the developer.

Edit: After completing the game my recommendation is even stronger.

This form of artstyle and game design I’ll forever hold near and dear to my heart, but the feel in Shot in the Dark really captures and sells the genre; tight and responsive platforming, a curious shooting mechanic that is very smooth in action, a story that’s simple but not boring. It impresses me to see decades-old mechanics explored in newer and more creative ways, I wouldn’t know where to begin setting the “pace” for those last few levels.

I look forward to what your crew works on next!

Monster Train

Monster Train

I guess hours played should really say what I think about this game.

I have a very specific morning routine. I wake up, start making coffee, brush my teeth and have a smoke. When coffee is finished I sit down and slowly wake up to a game or two of Monster train before starting work. Sometimes I play a game of Slay the spire but since that takes about 30-45 seconds to start I tend to go for Monster train (500 hours of SLS on Gog).

This is the perfect timewaster. Easy to get into and all the different races have so much variability. And deckbuilding is my favorite boardgame game mode ever.

Game is pretty fun. A bit more combo based than say Slay the Spire and a lot of luck can be needed on higher difficulties. That being said it is bright and fun and it’s enjoyable to take a train to hell.
