LEGRAND LEGACY: Tale of the Fatebounds
LEGRAND LEGACY: Tales of the Fatebounds is a wasted potential, but overall still comes out as decent and enjoyable experience made by developers who listen to the community.
RATING: 6/10.
I’ll start off with what I dislike:
-
Sub-par narrative. - WARNING spoiler potential
The game started off nicely. Party members were interesting with their own distinct personalities, backgrounds, and personal issues. Along the way, they found themselves in disagreements, having trust issues, while they needed to face trials to test their “worth”. With this scenario, you would expect each character to have a personal development throughout the game, right? BUT THE GAME SAYS HELL NO. You are going to see this pattern very often: At first, let’s be friends! - A moment later, fck you I don’t trust you! - And then a moment later, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, my bad - aaand a moment later, fck you all I’m done with this shit!. Some party member have either bipolar disorder, or they are just a bunch of idiots who do not learn from their mistakes.

My review on this game, POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
Story: 6/10
The story was interesting, big war going on, chosen ones coming together to put a stop to it. Characters developing overtime as experience shape them up to be the heroes fate chose them to be. Sadly that is not really seen here. The story is interesting and the concept is cool but without developing characters to push the story to be interesting I found myself being beyond bored with the story. I love fantasy elements in RPGs and a in depth story to boot. However, I just couldn’t get behind the characters in the story because of the constant issues that kept arising throughout the journey. The plot empathizes that the Fatebound must work together and share a common purpose yet whenever there is a secret behind each character (which of course there is), the whole party loses their focus and doubts everything over and over. Even after finishing the trials that test the party to find common ground and work together, the characters in this party is purely glass and shatters at the mention of a “secret.” The concept of the story was really cool and could have been expanded upon but I just got bored, sometimes it picks up and gets interesting but then oh no this guy was secretly super evil “How could you not tell us?.”

Shattered Hourglass
My take on Shattered Hourglass.
I have played this game 6-8 times since the first version. I never tire of it. I have played all endings which are based on your choices and Karma points. I have always enjoyed this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes a game with so many ways to play it. The optional dungeons are tough but, the rewards are great. One game, I put over 200 hours into it. So, 15-20 hours is just getting warmed up.
Depending on the path you chose, you may meet different characters and also experience gameplay that is only available during that particular path.

I’ve been playing this game since late 2014.I have played through all paths and grew quite fond of the Karma system!
It’s on my top 3 RPG Games of all times!
I definitely love Neutral path and the way my choices play out in the end.
PS: Zulwhern is a creep and Juliet just predictable, but Duran and Mio are my go to.
This was the first game that really made me see my choices being important. Being able to choose my own path and handle consequences, both story wise and mechanically wise, were a gamechanger for me.

Too Much Water
I really enjoy how fresh “Too Much Water” feels. Many indie games tend to rely heavily on already successful elements from existing games, but this experience feels brand new, and I actually struggle to compare it to any other game I’ve ever played.
While steam has classified this game as a top down shooter, that is woefully inadequate. Yeah, guns exist, and you can get one fairly easily, but is that the best use of your time and limited resources?
The best description of “Too Much Water” is the one given by the dev- it’s a castaway simulator and a survival game.

Lakeview Valley
The Elevator Pitch:
It’s like “8-bit Horror Groundhog Day: The Game.”
Only, it’s really more like “Groundhog Week”, and you’ve traded the meteorology for murder.
The Meat & Potatoes (& Amy’s Cookies):
I absolutely LOVED Lakeview Cabin Collection, so when I found out that the sole developer of LVC, Roope Tamminen, had just recently released his latest game, I couldn’t wait to give it a try.
It quickly and effortlessly surpassed my already-rather-lofty expectations…
-There is a staggering amount of content in this game.
– Real player with 58.5 hrs in game
Lakeview Valley is a refreshing take on the genre of Small Town RPG games that I have thorougly been enjoying. After playing more than 45 hours of it I haven’t even brushed the surface of what this game offers and am still getting a handle on what I’m doing.
You play some guy who moved to a new town where nothing is as it seems and you can choose to be whatever you want. I think this game is amazing and I can’t believe I didn’t pick it up from day one.

The game has a lot of replayability even with a small amount of weapons and power-ups because the looping mechanic makes the levels more challenging. In a way, the player is being made to be actually stranded on the “raft boat” when a swarm of variety of enemies flood the looped levels. The difficulty bump between the base levels and loop 1 is pretty huge, but it is set to work out by the time the player gets to looped stages. Unlocking the costumes and daily mode were/are a fun part of the game which made playing the game greater. Overall, the game itself is really great, and it being free is kind of insane because I could see the game having a price tag between $1-10 as it is, honestly. Hope the developers make more!

Slow living with Princess
As a big fan of adventure and fantasy games. anime, and web/light novels, this game is totally my wet dream lol and no, I have neither read the novel nor watched the anime, and I haven’t finished the entire story YET ;) wink
With a bit of isekai vibe (I don’t even know why I get it from this game), you start your new life in game as a adventure and a drug dealer or a pharmacist as a kids friendly term. Though you can pretty much sell everything and anything in your apothecary, like sometimes your customers will come and rob you off the egg you’ve been saving to make eggs and bacon…

Huge fan of the manga and now the anime. Very fun RPG that is reminiscent of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. You gather herbs and other resources as well as fight monsters in dungeons in order to obtain supplies for crafting and potion making which you will need to sell in the character’s personal store.
For an early access game, there is a LOT of content. Took me 27 Hours to complete all available main quests and side quests. Was also able to complete a majority of the wishlists for the other characters with the exception of some items which are too rare to obtain. Also only missing 1 achievement, but I did not want to grind a few more hours when I essentially finished all the available storyline quests.

Be Hero
Very chill and fun game, you can spend hours in it without realising. If you enjoy farming and relaxing games like Stardew Valley, Graveryard Keeper or Harvest Moon, you’ll love this one. Soundtrack is really good and envolving, the art is absolutey CUTE :3 plus the dialogues and sceneries are full of funny references.
It’s still in early access so keep in mind that there’s a lot more content to come! The developers are always uploading bug fixes and new paches and they are also very communicative with the community, they take into consideration a lot of suggestion of the players.

this is a chill game, if you are a content creator on twitch or other, it is perfect to play while interacting with chat, if you like farm style, like stardew or haverstmoon,i highly recommend, take the game and just have fun, keep in mind that the game is only in early access, the developers are working hard on the game.
I was able to test before the early access, all suggestions and other things that i reported to them are taken into account.
If u’re going to play, I hope u love It as I did, and remember It’s still an early access so there’s much more to come!

Spindle
What happens if nobody dies anymore? With that question, let us introduce you to the world of Spindle where indeed nobody dies anymore. And the answer to the question is rather simple: Chaos.
