The Lost Souls
I don’t know where this bloody influx of FPS Creator titles has come from and, frankly, it doesn’t matter so long as we can assemble a team to burn it to the ground but, in the meantime, I sure hope you like your stages like an eight year old girl likes her bowling lanes: separated by GIANT CRASH BARRIERS.
Without fail, every area transition (of which there are only a merciful four) sent me hurtling back to the desktop with the gratingly familiar “FPSC has stopped working” taunt that is becoming far more familiar in my gaming pursuits than is acceptable. Occasionally you get a “root system error” when you try to save as well which I guess is the closest thing this abomination is going to get to variety.

2/10
… I have NO idea how, but this game managed to be worse than its predecessor. Which is quite surprising, given how the predecessor is by far not a good game.
The Lost Souls is the sequel to White Mirror. Supposedly, this time you’re playing with a different character, since the one from the first game seemingly managed to escape. Once again, the one good thing about the game is that it looks good. Everything else is just as bad: barely any challenge, barely any story, barely any sense, barely… Anything.

Shining Hotel: Lost in Nowhere
Since I’ve opted to thumb this game up, I should start this review with a highly emphatic disclaimer, namely:
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT FULL PRICE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I bought it in a pack with another game for a smidgen under ten dollars, and it was still FAR TOO MUCH. This game is very, VERY short (twenty minutes, tops), and worth maybe two bucks at best. That said: I’ve never thumbed a game down purely on the basis of its price, and I’m not about to start here. You have, however, been warned. On with the review, then…

nice experience, good story.. but very bad gameplay!
what is horror to these developers? seriously, is this even scary?
it’s more than a walking simulator!
I’m ok with the game length that everybody’s complaining about, but it’s not horror at all
it doesn’t worth this amount of money..
I’m sorry, but this is the truth

Vugluskr: Zombie Rampage
In this video I take a look at Vugluskr: Zombie Rampage, a third person zombie shooter.
Don’t get me wrong this is a very low quality game…. but…. I enjoyed it! It’s the level design that won me over. You need to activate these zip lines to complete the level and find the keys. Each zip line requires 15 crystals to activate so you need to play the levels cautiously so you have enough crystals to get out from where you put yourself. It’s quite fun.
Now for the low quality parts… pretty much all the rest. There is nothing (that I have encountered) that was game breaking apart from when I hit escape to try to find options for key bindings only to discover it just leaves the game if you do that. I had to start my video again. :( There’s no jumping, poor shooting animations/sound effects, poor menus, etc, but it was fun and that’s ultimately what it’s all about. So if you don’t mind games that look cheap but play well your in for a treat I think, a cheap one too at $5 USD. Anyway, take a look at the video to really see what it’s like.

A Chair in a Room : Greenwater
My oh my. This is what I am looking for. I am a big fan of the scare, creep, unsettling type of games. When I got the Vive I would thing to myself, “This would be a great platform for survival horror, overall story telling with a fear filled bend to it.”
This has arrived. This is the first to come along for me and with this quality title so soon in the lifecycle of VR I CANNOT WAIT to see what is in store for the future.
The sound, environments, story, and perfect placement of things that simply either creep you out, unsettle you, or straight up make you scream is superb. It does not beat you over the head with constant thing jumping in your face or anything like that. The creators of this game know the value of subtle well placed situations to make you tense and crazed.

Here it is (if you want it), one of the best games on the Vive to date. It’s roomscale perfection, and one of the fisrt/best titles that ‘scales’ to your playspace. If yours is too small, you are allowed teleportation, but I did not try that, and if you have no room, get a bigger apartment. It’s truly, certifiably, immersively scary. All the environments look great, it renders well. Of all the VR horror games, it surly is the most frightening, and suspenseful, and I am an advanced level 10 journeyman in Virtual Reality, so I should know. I will never forget the sound it makes after a jumpscare scene…

It’s a good game, but it’s short. I would like a sequel. It’s hard to pick up all the achievements.

Happy Bones is like a beautiful fever dream that continued to surprise me and simultaneously disgust me all the way through.

Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition
I hadn’t played this game since the 1st edition that came out in the 80s. Back then three Hunters chased a nearly-impotent Dracula around the map, eventually slaying him. Nearly every time, anyway. Dracula had hidden movement behind a screen, and left some rumors in his wake, but the damnable hunter cards would give him away at horrible times, and if you encountered him he would get caught during the day more than half the time (you rolled a die, but the hunters had more cards) - a vampire during the day is as feeble in combat as you would think. We called it “The Frustration of Dracula.” He was fun to play, but it was very difficult to win with him. Still, I have fond memories.

While no game is ever going to translate perfectly from the board to digital I have to tip my hat to Nomad games for taking on Fury of Dracula, not just for doing it, but doing a very capable job.
*When you read negative reviews about the lack of 1 vs 4 during initial roll out of the game, I have to point out that this was clearly posted on the store page well in advance and in the discussions. It shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone and it’s a poor excuse to give a thumbs down. It was perfectly clear and the developers have repeatedly stated why they released it as 1 vs 1 and 1 vs AI initially, along with their plans to work on and release 1 vs 4. Understandably, the developers want to get it right, so we just need to be patient. Their professionalism and consistent feedback to our inquiries leads me to believe they will get it done.

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is the sort of game that feels like it’s flying apart as you play. It’s an authentically janky experience, filled with rough visuals, rough AI, and rough edges of all sorts… but a surprisingly playable, unique, charming, and fun “janky experience.”
At heart it’s actually a fairly simple FPS–traditional, even, with its backtracking and weapon inventory and twitchy gunplay. You’re tasked with exploring a pseudo-random castle to rescue various family members and deal with the local vampire population. “Deal with” in this case meaning “slaughter.”

In the endless search for quality in the bargain bin of the Steam catalog, there lies a special category for games that many have purchased on a whim, but never played. These tend to be older games, created under time crunches or by small studios. They became either punching bags for being mediocre crap, or things that are actually worth talking about, but fly under the radar because everyone’s backlogs are constantly filled with superior products purchased on sale. It’s a shame, as Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is an interesting experience that provides quite a bit of bang for the buck (or 3, if you’re not getting it on sale.)
