Bright Lights of Svetlov

Bright Lights of Svetlov

Виртуальные забавы отправляют нас в самые разные миры и очередной вояж на Марс едва ли вызовет какие-то особенные эмоции. А вот Огни Светлова - внезапно - отправили в мир детства, где все знакомое и родное. И это круто, это вызывает какие-то совершенно новые эмоции, непривычные для игр.

Очень приятно видеть экранизацию советской действительности в самом ее приземленном и обычном виде. Без клишированных камрадов, ушанок и вот этого всего. В общем, сеттинг удался.

И нарратив, кстати, тоже. За свои полтора часа игра успевает рассказать историю, причем делает это неплохо. Приемы подачи сюжета стандартны - но они работают. В какой-то момент ловишь себя на той мысли, что погрузился в это все и на самом деле интересно что будет дальше.

this game is so well made! i love the vibe. i felt cozy half the game. and i love the sounds of the birds and the wind used outside. it sounds like outside my house. each country got its own local birds. you rarely hear european nature in games. it made the ambience even more wholesome. anyways…

what started happy and cheery ended in tragdedy and i was shocked. especially when i found out that this whole incident is based on a real event i have never known about before this game.

i hope vladimir cholokyan will make more games.

Dizzy Two

Dizzy Two

So there’s a DIzzy game on Steam! Not really clear what the involvement of Codemasters, the Oliver Twins or whoever owns Dizzy these days is, but I’m accepting this in good faith.

This is a fairly typical Dizzy arcade adventure, resembling the 16-bit versions with full colour graphics rather than the black sky 8-bit originals. It starts out in an actual house instead of one of those treehouse things, seeming to put Dizzy in more of a realistic setting than usual. I’ve played for a bit and found some annoying platform-jumping bits where you’ll struggle for a while just to get back to where you started… Which is, of course, totally on brand for Dizzy. The puzzles I’ve encountered so far make sense; if anything they’re a bit too obvious.

Penguin Panic

Penguin Panic

A colourful, whacky and fun game. Move the Penguins into groups of 2 or more. The buttons provided will help you. Earn bonus points for completing a level.

Be careful of the ice roof dropping. If it hits a Penguin for a prolonged period…. well, game over!!

Simple controls, instructions and game options available.

Be quick….. but don’t PANIC !!! and as like any game… the further you progress, the harder it becomes…. will you start to PANIC ??!!

Towerbots

Towerbots

Adequate grindy play with a ton of content. But where’s the sound?

Real player with 114.6 hrs in game

How did this get released on Steam? There’s no audio. The UI is terrible. You don’t know a tower’s range until after you’ve placed it. Towers don’t start charging their shots until robots enter range. There’s so much wrong with this game, it’s hard to know where to begin.

An amazing relaxing and atmospheric game! It’s short but worth for the experience! The music it’s one of the best part of it, sometimes I’ve just open the game to hear while doing others things! Recomended!
