Tell Me Why
Title is an Overrated Backstreet Boys Song But The Game Is Not!
We all had that moment when we saw the title of this game and sang that song in our heads. It deserves a better title imo and I stand by that. So this game is the pinnacle of pride month for June 2021. So I am extremely thankful for the Devs for providing like literally the whole game for free. Short story goes that the game is very atmospheric, not much puzzle invested and emotionally can be terrifying. It is by the devs of Life is Strange, so I did compare or was going to compare as soon as I installed the game. The two are very different in terms of atmosphere and the creativity. I feel like this game is more of a statement than an actual game. Common factor on both games is that protagonists in both games share an abnormal power of no origin.

Tell me why the music is no good in this game?
Tell Me Why is a new game from DontNod studio behind such masterpiece as Life is Strange and other good games such as Vampyr or Remember Me. Well this is not Life is Strange. I loved both LiS games they made and I liked this one. It’s a good game, just not as good as both LiS games.
The game is about twins and the mystery behind their mother. One of the siblings killed the mother and other one took the blame. After years of separation they finally meet again and go to the old house wanting to tidy up it up a bit and get some stuff before selling it. But suddenly they’re start finding puzzles and secrets their mother left and they start wondering about her past and who their father was.

The Outcast Lovers
I admit I openly ridiculed some of the dialogues in this game. Especially the part with “Werther’s Original”.
But that’s kind of the issue with Outcast Lovers. It is a narrative game, with pretty much the same pros and cons as it’s prequel, The Night Fisherman. But this time, instead of making us experience or feel the narrative, the game just force-feeds us it’s main message.
And since the main message (Immigration system evil and cruel, outcasts helping immigrants marginalized, brave and warm-hearted) is the same as in the prequel game, all the tension is gone. We know how the story is going to end. And we know why.

The premise of this game, and the other, is the treatment of immigrants. The story of this game was absolutely lost on the reader.
The title is “The Outcast Lovers,” but doesn’t even focus on them other than a conversation about adopting a kid they accidentally hit in a car crash (who is completely fine I guess?). One small fight between the interracial couple (which could have been an additional story element due to the times where that was even more looked down upon) does not make me care for them, or for the kid who randomly gets hit.

The Walking Dead
TellTale’s gem. Too bad the company was shut down mid production of Season 4. Anyway, I 100% recommend this series to all. Pro tip, buy the definitive edition to access all seasons in 1 big game. It’s the biggest bang for your buck :)

The Lost Legends of Redwall™: The Scout Act 1
I will begin stating I have been following this project since nearly its inception and announcement to be funding via Kickstarter. This is for all intents and purposes an early access prototype meant to glean feedback from people like myself. Do not buy this game at this moment, if you are expecting it to be 100% complete and ready to play. It is early access for a reason. Giving it a negative review for being incomplete after willfully purchasing it as early access content is ignorant.
I do recommend it full heartedly for those who are willing to pick through, nail down details that can be improved upon, and are willing to provide that feedback to the developers. I’ve played through the polished level multiple times now. I still feel like I have missed things, and each time I have played I’ve found something new.

This game is a hot mess, and it really doesn’t need to be. Redwall is special to me. As a young child I loved the books. I was fairly obsessive about reading them, and I was for years. I could recite the plot of almost any one of the books, despite how long it’s been since I’ve read any of them. I was surprised to learn there was a Redwall game in development, I first heard about it in 2014. When the game came out on steam early access I bought it within the first month, it was one level, and extremely buggy, but it had promise. I would play it for a little while whenever there was an update, until it stopped working.

The Walking Dead: Season Two
I will be the first to admit that when I beat The Walking Dead: Season 1, I not only cried, but I cried like a baby. The story, setting, and, most importantly, the characters all pulled me into this world where no one is truly safe, and your decisions matter and go beyond the “choice 1 = good-but-risky, choice 2 = evil-but-conserative” trope. So when Season 2 was announced, I was eager to get my hands on it. Now, ten months have passed and the season is over, ending with “Episode 5: No Going Back”. Was it amazing, and how did it stack against Season 1?

A stirring and well-acted journey, Season Two of The Walking Dead may not deliver the breakthrough experience of the first season, yet it retains the emotional punch that makes this undertaking just as heartfelt and gut-wrenching as we all so fondly remember. Each episode builds upon the last, and we open with the slightly older and more experienced Clementine being once again ripped from the last vestige of Season One’s survivors. These initial scenes, when Clementine is truly at her most vulnerable, allow new characters and personalities to fill the void, and they are definitely a step up from those that we have love and lost before.

The Lost Legends of Redwall™: The Scout Act 3
Step into the epic, story-rich world of the wildly popular Redwall books. The Scout is an episodic adventure game full of vivid characters, high adventure, and most importantly, the first new official Redwall story since 2011. The third episode, “The Abbey," tells the story of Liam and Sophia’s desperate race to Redwall Abbey after being mortally poisoned by Scumsnout’s vicious maw. This is the dramatic conclusion of their journey through Portman’s Slough, Pontederia, and the ancient Otter’s ruins.

The Lost Legends of Redwall™: The Scout Act 2
I will admit, after playing Act 1 on release, I was very doubtful that Soma could continue their franchise. The gameplay was very buggy, as expected from a new developer, and it got so frustrating that I couldn’t stand to play the game anymore.
Fast forward a couple years, and to my pleasant surprise, Soma used their lessons learned from Act 1, and it shows here in Act 2 (They even vastly improved the gameplay through patches in Act 1!). Though there are some glaring bugs in the gameplay and level design, they’re much less plentiful than Act 1 was upon release. Most notable were the lack of collision object which would allow you to fall through the world. In general, Soma are really applying themselves in making a great game with a great story for any Redwall reader.

If you liked Act I, chances are you’ll enjoy this one too. The gameplay is essentially the same and, even if it isn’t groundbreaking, it has the same charm and character as the first instalment. There are new characters with plenty of personality, including one based on an actual character from the Redwall book. The artworks are lovely as before and the soundtrack is great.
Also I’d like to give the devs, Soma Games, some extra praise: though these Redwall games are sometimes a little buggy, Soma really make the effort to correct as many glitches as they can. They actively facilitate player feedback with a bug reporting option on the menu, and week by week they’ve been steadily patching as many issues as they can. A committed developer is one worth supporting!

-
A fully-voiced adventure: the fun cast of characters is brought to life by fully voiced dialogue, immersing you in the world and story.
Aurora:
Aurora is unique in the Cave. The youngest of the Cave’s inhabitants, her lack of a guiding voice has made her curious and defiant. She dreams of joining the Pilgrimage but her wild side has so far prevented her from gaining the title of Pilgrim. Will this year’s celebration finally bring her the title she seeks?
Neemo:
Neemo is Aurora’s sidekick, a cute, floating blob of eyeballs, and an unflinchingly loyal companion to his only human friend. He’s managed to remain hidden from the other occupants of the Cave and although he will help Aurora in her adventures, his actions and presence on Eedor remain a mystery.
Kylar:
Kylar exists on the opposite end of the scale from Aurora. He is the oldest kid in the Cave, the leader of the Pilgrims, and a talented engineer. He is also her brother and the voice of order amongst the residents of the Cave. He is admired for both his dedication to their survival and his bravery in the face of the unknown.
Chronicles of Tal’Dun: The Remainder - Act 1
This is the first chapter in the story and new chapters will be released in the future. It’s pretty short, but it packs in a lot of beauty and story-building.
The characters are very mysterious and surprisingly fleshed out considering how short the story is. The music is beautiful and the art is amazing. This story also has characters that use different pronouns (they/them, xe/xir) and it’s refreshing to see.
If they make the next chapters cost money, I would pay for them because I love this so much. 10/10

This is one of my absolute favorite visual novels. Esoteric, foreboding, and romantic vibes beautifully written and rendered in digital ink. Playing and replaying (which I’ve done several times now) gives me a feeling similar to watching Mushishi at 3am or reading too much poetry before bed: strange, melancholic, and sort of comforting all at once. Goes well with tea.
