Raji: An Ancient Epic
Glossary:
Asuras – Half Brothers of the Hindu Gods but bascially Demons
Devas – the Hindu Gods.
Once in a while, an uncut gem arrives in the gaming market. You see this game on the Steam Store, and you’re amazed. It’s dazzling splendour, it’s the fantastic art design and its engaging story. Then you realise that this uncut gem remains an uncut gem because it has more potential. It has so much potential that if expanded with DLCs and free updates, this game can become even greater. The main strength of this game is a strong story and a solid artistic design. Its puzzles are fun, but they can be complex for a beginner at first. I failed many times having to defeat multiple bosses and it was frustrating, to say the least. Many moments kept me scratching my head on how to defeat the Asuras.

If you are expecting a 15000 tile puzzle, this game is probably not for you.
What I adore most about this game and Juventures (the other game of this artist developer duo) is the art style and level of detail of these hand-drawn images.

Samorost 3 was one of my most anticipated games for 2016. When I finally played and finished it, it left me a tad bit dissapointed
Right off the bat, I instantly fell in love with the presentation. Like Amanita Design’s previous games, the world is weird and wonderful, with all of the vibrant colours and impressive locations. The world is constantly full of life and energy; often at times, I just stared out into the distance and saw weird creatures in the background and observing their behaviours, and each time doing so felt like observing strange animals in David Attenborough documentaries. It is not hard to fall in love with the off-beat world of Samorost 3. The atmosphere is pushed forward with the beautiful score by Tomas Dvorak, the same composer for the music from Samorost 2 and Machinarium. The sound design, much like Amanita design’s previous entry, Botanicula, is very bizzare and maybe even out of place at times, but that made the world even more weird and charming. The presentation is definitely where Samorost 3 really shines.

Santa’s Workshop
This is actually a super fun little Christmas game. There’s not really much to it. You basically just pick out the packages that the elves want you to put on the sleigh to get ready for Santa. If you go into it just expecting a simple seek and find game I think you’ll find some enjoyment in it. It’s clearly meant for children but I imagine some adults might like it too. There are 3 different levels (the larger the number, the larger the level and the more packages you need to find). I went through all 3 levels and I enjoyed the game for what it was. If you’re on the fence, I have a video series I’m working on for this game. Currently there are 2 videos and there will be at least one more before the series is finished.

It’s a very short Christmas game for children. You have to collect all the presents, toys, books, bags etc. to beat all 3 levels. Great way to teach some basic moves on the PC for kids.
-
Christmas music
-
Santa’s factory looks good
-
you can’t adjust volume
-
maybe some achievements would be good to motivate the kids

Hidden Shapes Animals - Jigsaw Puzzle Game
Really enjoyed the chill vibe (my wife was listening to me play, and the music was soothing her to sleep, lol), and the puzzles were progressively challenging, but not frustratingly so - at least I didn’t find them that way. I also appreciated that the hint system (which I needed a few times to ferret out some misoriented pieces that weren’t at all obvious to me) doesn’t penalize you in any way. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing, puzzle game, definitely give this one a go. I’ll definitely look out for other stuff put out by this developer. :-)

A dollar gets you a nice set of nature themed puzzles on a dark background that is easy on the eyes. The images are solved by turning the pieces in place, not by moving them on the board. So there is no ‘dragging and dropping’ which I like. Pieces only turn one way so if you turn it one too far you have to turn it three more times to get it back where you want it. The line art is nice and a starry background appears when you finish each puzzle. The music is peaceful. Best played in the dark to appreciate the night-sky visual theme. Good for a relaxing, casual puzzle. Note: using the hint function, press the hint button again to get back to puzzle-solving mode. The pieces are locked in the the hint mode and can’t be turned.

Hoa
GRAPHICS / AESTHETIC : 20/10
PLAYTIME (2-5 hours ): 4/10
MUSIC : 20/10
STORY: 6.5/10
GAMEPLAY: 4/10
PRICE: 10/10
(I know it might seem like a high price for a short game but you need to remember that this is an indie studio and I believe the price reflects the healthy payment the artists would receive for the time they spent pouring love and detail into every crevice)
should you get this game? YES! I think everyone should experience a game of this beauty. But if you’re someone who strictly wants to get a new game for the game elements, this might not be for you, if you like the aestheic and are okay playing something for the story and experience then definitely get this game!!

Target Audience: Adventuring Players Looking for a Cute Casual Time
Summary:
Hoa is a game where spectical and whismy take the forefront of the experience: and if those things don’t matter to you, then it’s probably not a game for you. It’s not trying to be an interesting platformer in any sort of way. Sure, the mechanics here work and the controls are responsive enough, but many of the elements act as a minor challenge at best despite some puzzling have to be done. But that’s not what the game is trying to really test: it’s taking you on an adventure for you to get lost in the beautiful visuals, the environment that tells a story in each area, and the ultimately uplifting story that will make you feel your troubles melt away for that day.
