beVaiR
This game looks quite simplistic, but offers more than I first thought.
It is quite a challenge finding strategies in order to win a round.
There are so many things to consider (the morphexes, the attacks, neutralizer), which seems overwheling in the beginning,
but actually offers a lot of depth and different approaches to try out.
I only played a couple of hours, yet, but had some fun until now and will definitely continue.
The story is a little cryptic at the beginning, which made me curious on how it will evolve.

There will be someone out there in Steam VR world that will love beVaiR and play it to death (maybe the other reviewer here), But most of us are going to realise that not only is the price of this game little more than a joke, but the gameplay is way too complex for its own good. The main idea is to turn all the “nodes” your colour by collecting other things and sucking up the floor and turning them into something else. And if you think that sounds complicated and weird, you should try playing the game! Sadly, even if you did somehow manage to work out how to play the game you will soon be begging for your money back. There is NOTHING here to justify the £23.79 price and certainly nothing that would ever make me recommend this to anyone. - item Refunded.

Take Control
Welcome to the future! The golden age of genetic engineering!
After many years of human DNA research, the head of Change The Future Corporation offered the world transgenic implants that pushed the boundaries of human capabilities.
Telekinesis, pyrokinesis, X-ray vision from the comic book pages have become reality.
New abilities shook up the order of things. The army is expecting perfect soldiers. Companies are issuing an ultimatum for their employees to be modified.
Anyone with enough money can purchase an implant that will give them a “superpower” from the constantly expanding list.
Scientific progress leads to an increase in unemployment and the discontent of ordinary people who refuse the implants. Modified criminals are appearing all over the world.
The police cannot control all the “superheroes”. However, the research of genes and the expansion of the list of abilities do not stop.
Change The Future Corporation makes a statement about creating its own security unit that would protect the interests of the company from the most aggressive opponents of modification.
Soon after a new security detachment takes on the responsibility of detecting and neutralizing criminals with superpowers. Its name is DNM (Detachment for Neutralization of the Modified).
You are an operative of Change The Future Corporation, who received an experimental ability to control other people’s consciousness after voluntarily undergoing genetic modification.
You arrive at the corporation’s training ground to pass the obstacle course to fully master the new modification.
Take Control is a single-player action game with puzzle elements. You take on the role of a DNM operative with the ability to control the minds of others.
Features of the game:
Your mind is your main weapon! When the ability is activated, time will stop, and you will switch to the tactical mode.
Study the situation and the environment, come up with a solution for a specific problem, capture your enemy’s mind and force them to execute your plan.
After exiting the tactical mode, the clock will start again, and you will find out whether the actions you chose will let you achieve success.
Use your ability to neutralize enemies!
Or to solve various tasks.
The World of the Future! Over the course of your playthrough you will get to experience an amazing world where the boundaries of the human body have been erased.
Use the environment! Fire-extinguishers, switches, terminals. You are surrounded by objects that can help you win.
Improve yourself! You can’t change your ability but you can improve it!

Event-D
This was a fantastic Sci-Fi visual novel that I have enjoyed spending my time reading. I love mystery themed visual novels and this one had plenty of unanswered thought-provoking mysteries that really makes you think. I am really looking forward to the mysteries being solved if there is ever a sequel. I find it sad when stories end with cliffhangers that could last forever because the game didn’t attract enough people. More people need to spread the word about this hidden gem. If you want a Sci-Fi visual novel and are tired of the anime/manga art style ones, I recommend this!

Interesting dialogues between the characters, and their place in this alternate future. The future of robotics and artificial life’s acceptance as autonomous beings is an interesting thought in itself. The storyline itself is easy enough for most people to grasp; no understanding of astronomy or robotics required!
Very straightforward story telling. Wastes no time with much extraneous dialogue. Easy to put on “Auto” and just coast along. Sometimes if you read the monitor screens ingame, there are strange Latin phrases. I have not had the chance to decipher much of them, but it would be cool to feature a part of the game that translates them!

State of Mind
Daedalic Entertainment is a German company aimed at production and distribution of Video Games; it’s specialized in point and click traditional graphic adventures with hand-made illustrations relying heavily on puzzles. Daedalic has always paid a lot of attention to the narrative side, although within a traditional and somewhat dated gameplay; its productions are generally characterized by a low budget that manifests itself with graphics and animations not at the state of the art. Nevertheless, the specialized critics have always appreciated the quality of hand illustrations and stories and how the latters are integrated with the point and click mechanics. I refer you to the Wikipedia page to see the numerous Daedalic productions.

There is a funny thing about me and reviews - I enjoy writing them a lot, but when it comes to reading others opinions on the game, it can be a problem for me. I caught myself on a thought, that sometimes what I see in the reviews, especially when it comes to influent magazines and websites, can make me feel like “wtf did I just read?” and it drives me crazy. Like, sometimes, people can see a comparison between two completely different games just because it has a little bit of similarity in a game’s idea and plot, but in general, it’s freaking opposite products, which will never stay on the same line.

Binary Domain
Binary Domain was yet another part of a (free) bundle given away by SEGA, featuring mediocre games mainly. When I started playing it, I was expecting an average shooter (the reviews didn’t provide much clue). What I got was an absolutely positive surprise in all aspects. But I’m not explaining this fact that I liked this game so much with the element of surprise: I wish every overhyped AAA game could provide as much fun as Binary Domain did. It has everything a good game needs: a thrilling story, excellent characters and funny (!) dialogues, choices & consequences and of course great combat with fluid controls. This is one of those games that would require a sequel, but apparently won’t get one, since the game never received the proper amount of praise and appreciation it should have deserved.

Binary Domain is a Third-Person-Shooter with a cover system set in the future after catastrophic events led the world to some major changes.
In 2080, due to climate changes, the world faced the large flood ever existed, and in search for cheap, reliable labor, the humanity turned to robots, in hope for a better future. To lead this revolution is Bergen, a US-based company, responsible for manufacturing robots for all over the world. But Bergen is not the only one in the business. Amada, a Japanse company, sued Bergen for stealing their technology. Bergen won, much because of its influence… They do manufacture over 90% of world robots, and this made the USA more powerful than ever!

Re-Legion
Oh boy. What to start with first?
The Good:
This runs just as well in Linux as it does in Windows, which is encouraging - it’s awesome how well Steam is implementing Linux support, and I heartily approve. I also like the cyberpunk feel, and the whole tech-cult thing is actually a really fun idea. That’s, uh, that’s about it.
The Bad:
The story seems… disjointed. It’s like watching nothing but the recaps of a TV show - you get the gist that a story exists, and the basic ideas, but there’s nothing actually backing it up. Half way through the game, and I felt like the whole thing could have been a single cutscene; reaching the end felt like I’d maybe gotten a third of the way through the plot, if I could call it that.

I WANT to give this game a good review, because the concept and setting are extremely great.
BUT…. Well, it’s not a bad game, but it isn’t a good game either.
The bad things:
-There isn’t a whole lot to do. There’s the campaign at the moment, and that’s it.
-Saving the game is awlays a huge risk, because you can NOT be sure you’ll be able to load your safe. Most saves get stuck at 99% loading, and then just keep on loading forever. Because of this I have started to save frequetly, but to me it seems that has only made matters worse, as I now only can load 1 out of 5 saves, where before I could load every second save or so.

Greatest 41 minutes of my life.
Story-rich first-person shooter with some RPG elements, alongside the action packed gameplay.
The variety of weapons is fascinating and the cyberpunk themed open world is breathtaking.
This is the game Cyberpunk 2077 aspired to be.

I played twice with it.
So for those who insist this part of the review included, up, left, right down arrows Enter and ESC controls and there you have it good.
The dev there got out of the classical soft 2D look toward a more 3D cold aesthetic where he both had more control and ownership of his characters and action. Since what happens globally, I guess it was his best bet to narrate a very complex story that casts an interesting foreshadowing into the future of our freedom, privacy and how much a government can use external events to their advantage to lock down a society and turn politics into plain accepted tyranny. It does into the same charms of the Incitement series, City of Chains and Outrage but in the Pegasus-5 mature universe. You got to check upon the morale of your crew members and have the option to romance most of them very inclusively, but without artificially changing them into your own likings and orientations, which makes them pretty realistic in the versimilitude of the game universe.
