ASMR Journey - Animated Jigsaw Puzzle

ASMR Journey - Animated Jigsaw Puzzle

I don’t usually write reviews for games, but there’s so little written about this one that I feel it’s my duty.

TL;DR: The game has issues, but it’s totally worth the very small price.

Let’s start with the good:

I’ve played loads of puzzle games, and this one is particularly beautiful.

Parts of the pictures move, even when the puzzles are in pieces. It really adds something to a jigsaw puzzle game that takes it up a notch. For example, on the train puzzle, there is a foggy window where you can see the blurry landscape pass by.

ASMR Journey is a very well-crafted and inspiring puzzle game, it is calm, immersive, has a good soundtrack and the graphics have a unique and discrepant trace of everything I have seen, it is calm in the exact and interesting point with the hostory that holds you as you play, I found it completely relaxing and well-crafted.

The only negative point found was the lack of more puzzles to complete, as I would like to play more and more, but in any case it already yields a calm and comforting experience.

(Note: I will NOT judge this game based on its language. I don’t speak Portuguese, but I certainly understand what it’s like to have English as a second or third language. Just know that it is possible to understand everything that is said in the game, even though some things sound a bit strange to us. I take it as fun to try and figure out what the author initially meant to say in the first place, like a puzzle in a puzzle game!)

This certainly looked like an interesting game, so I decided to check it out! I also wanted to support the Developer since it looked like they put a lot of work into the game. It shows. The atmosphere, music, OST/SFX, and all the goodness are fun to play with and I wasn’t bored once! Sometimes you gotta grind… still wasn’t boring.

I still did not finish the game, but at the time of this writing, I’m about 15 hours on the story.

I’m really loving it! The story is captivating, the art design is quite charming and the original soundtrack is beautiful to hear.

The combat system is the classic turn-based combat. At this moment I’ve didn’t find any true difficulties (besides not staying low on mana), but it’s still quite challenging (and I’m probably still in the beggining). Trying to learn which type of spell is more effective against each monster was fun. And the spell animations are gorgeous!

Path of the Martyrs

Path of the Martyrs

Path of the Martyrs is an excellent adventure!

The time I spent as Saiyato in the world of Delma was rewarding.

While battles proved somewhat easy, they were also a lot of fun. The combat and skill systems have depth, and fun realtime arcade elements in some cases that keep you on your toes. Resources are plentiful for thorough explorers.

The real challenge is the puzzles. Kazuki Takamura is a clever designer when it comes to these. There are many types of puzzle, and the difficulty level is a nice balance between frustration and satisfaction.

WitchSpring3 Re:Fine - The Story of Eirudy -

A 6-10 hours game where you play as a nameless witch raised by her grandmother living in a secluded forest, One day you find a cute boar and chase after it to mofu mofu it and the story begins…

Gameplay wise, everything is simplistic. No inventory management; no nonsense, just a game where you can fully engross into the story.

Grandmother’s letter makes me cry so badly. whyyy…

One of the games where I don’t turn off in-game music because it’s that good.

Try out the sequel 1,2,4 on app store probably if you haven’t!

Ticket

Don’t let the initial presentation fool you - this is an incredibly creative 2D platformer with unique visuals and an outstanding soundtrack. My first playthrough, I constantly found myself saying “the next level couldn’t get any weirder than this” only for the game to do just that.

The only caveat is that some levels are a bit obtuse and frustrating to figure out without a guide - but that’s something you can find easily enough.

Ticket is the product that challenges your preconceived notions of what games are about. It is certain that the so-called seriously taken game reviewers would not be able to give acclaim to this game, as it does not follow the conventional rules of high quality game design. This tells about the sad state of gaming industry rather than about Ticket though. If you are the person who thinks that good games follow strict rulesets of certain design-economic and mathematically measured criteria and are usually some sports titles followed by a running year number or the latest installment of a well-established series, then Ticket might not be for you.

Wildsilver

Wildsilver

Wildsilver is the fourth JRPG created by Great Potion Games. It will feature …

  • about 15 hours of playtime

  • an epic and emotional story with several plot twists

  • a turn-based battle system with an active-time option

  • a four-character party with a female protagonist

  • a lot of character customisation in terms of stats and abilities

  • medium difficulty with optional challenges

  • legendary equipment

  • puzzles

  • collectibles

  • quests

  • secrets

  • breakable urns

  • British English

  • continuous patches and support (as always)

Before actually working on a project of this scale, the basic design should be perfect. Feedback from actual players (you guys) is extremely valuable in determining what works and what doesn’t. Releasing a free demo on Steam seems like the best way to get as much feedback as possible in the shortest time.

The demo could be considered a condensed version in terms of gameplay. It includes most of the characters, skills, equipment, items and enemies that are planned for the full game. There’s no plot, however, no quests, no puzzles. The game elements and locations may or may not be part of the full game. That depends on your feedback! :)

Wildsilver is planned to be released in autumn 2022. There may be an early-access version.
