After The End: The Harvest

After The End: The Harvest

Originally written for early access version 0.9u3 - 29May2017

Edited for version 1.4 20Jun2018

After nearly 90 hours and having seen the game to its completion, I’m finally comfortable editing in a final review.

Pros:

–- The game’s description and screenshots are very accurate for what you’re getting here: an expansive open-universe RPG with the look and feel of an old action-adventure SNES game.

— Among the biggest selling points for After the End continues to be developer interaction. Throughout the early access period and post-release, The Sworn has consistently been available to field questions and bug reports in the forums. I very much value this!

UPDATED REVIEW:

In a time of loot box gambling and unfulfilled promises many devs have been screwing over customers so it’s nice to see

an early access dev actually keep true to their promises and finish their game. This game has a couple of small issues, but what it does achieve is

so fun and refreshing that it is worth peoples attention.

I originally played through and finished the game during its 0.08 alpha.

It was prety different but i loved it! You can read my original review under this one.

Geometry Hero

Geometry Hero

Nice amusing idea, but it’s very uncomfort to play with keyboard.

It really needs gamepad support and I didn’t find it.

It’s still early access by now, so I hope in the very close future we’ll have gamepad support.

That’s the sole reason I put a thumb up.

Otherwise, at the moment, it’s a thum down to be played with keyboard.

Also, please put the “Settings” button in the starting menu.

No sense you need to start a game and then press ESC to be able to setup the game.

I look forward for updates.

Cosmic Cat

Cosmic Cat

This is a pretty bare-bones shooter. Things move pretty fluidly, but beyond that there’s little variety in play.

The biggest irritation is that, even with a basic game like this, the developer clearly didn’t spend any real time bug-testing anything. Your number of kills never increments, and since all of the achievements are based upon number of enemies destroyed, it essentially breaks all of the achievements.

Beyond that, if you die and have to restart, it’ll call the wave you’re playing “level 1” again, but it will keep the difficulty (in terms of planets you need to destroy and enemies chasing you) at the level you were when you died. I can’t tell if earned power-ups from before still apply (i.e., roguelike), or if these are reset (which would make starting a new game at the difficulty level when you died especially unfair). It’s hard to tell because the power-ups don’t have a very significant effect (I assume you need to collect a LOT of these before they make any appreciable difference).

Challenging enough, I like the cat pilot destroyer of worlds.

STAR WARS™: The Force Unleashed™ II

STAR WARS™: The Force Unleashed™ II

I had to write a new an updated review about this game. I had only played 20 minutes of the game on pc since I never got it to run at over 30 frames per second. That is now something of the past. There is a crack that unlocks the game to be played at 60 fps or over with the steam game. Just look for it on Google!

Since the Humble bundle sale there has been a large amount of bad reviews of this games some people not being able to run it at over 30 or not run it at all. Problems with the cutscenes etc.

It is fun to unleashed the force: stormtroopers are in air, AT-Ats get fed up with their own rockets and Vader is a nervous Sith Lord. The con of this game is that it doesn’t last long.

This game is high quality. The cinematics are better than the movies, the art style is gorgeous, everyone looks better(except for Juno) your force power are higher and in turn, the havoc you’ll create. The story is simple and there are some very discreet subplots(the biggest one is unlocked in the challenges). Some people have reported bugs, but they have submitted fixes as well. I for one didn’t have a problem with this game. Except for one thing. It was too short. It was like sex with someone really hot, one a day when you’re so full of energy and into it, but for a reason, it’s so short it will strike you like the Death Star.
