This game caught me by surprise and, oh my, how I’ve enjoyed it. Let me tell You. I found this randomly shuffling through games on steam and as soon as I saw the trailer I knew I HAVE TO play it. And I wasn’t wrong, not one bit. DeadCore gave me exactly what I needed.

DeadCore is a combination of First Person Shooter and Puzzle game, but it’s based on Your reflexes instead being like Portal for example. In DeadCore there is often no time to make careful decisions, You have to act, and You have to do it fast. Controls are perfectly responsive which is a BIG deal for a game like this. You’re going to make a split second decisions about where to shoot or where to jump. Some people are talking about badly programmed gravity but it’s not true. You’ll get used to it almost immediately. Be aware tho, this game requires from You at least some skills in precision shooting. If You fail (And trust me You often will) that wasn’t because the stage is designed poorly, but it was Your reaction that was timed badly.

You are the Last Deprived, the final corpse to ever rise from the stone depths, dooming all creation to a ceaseless death. This underworld does not welcome you. Unlock the secrets of the crypt, take back life from your fleshless brethren, and fight your own way out of humanity’s tomb.

Get lost in the chasm. No one will be holding your cold, hollow hands along the way.

  • Fracture and harvest the bones of the undead for resources

  • Explore an intertwined, non-linear underworld

Jump With Dragons

Jump With Dragons

The graphics alone make this game worth the 0.59 I payed for it. It’s both fun and challenging. I suggest changing the key bindings under settings because the controls were awkward. I was also having problems getting my controller to fully work with it. I could look around, jump, and dash but I couldn’t walk in any direction so I was stuck playing with the keyboard and mouse.

Not perfect but good.

Definitely worth the try for you hunting enthusiasts. Very unique and realistic style of predator hunting. Lots of potential!

Patience is key in this game, when I started playing I scared them away many times with my light. After a few hours I quickly learned how to play it. Super excited to see more content get added soon.

Propulsion is short and good with multiple modes to play and brings the perfectionist in you, also if you rocket-jumped in TF2 it works here so buy it. ps: you can b-hop perfectly by holding space bar
