Enherjar Synergy

Enherjar Synergy

Well, I saw this game and I thought the neons looked cool, so I decided to give it a download. I really like shooters, even though I can’t say that I usually have high rankings in other multiplayer games, it’s always still alot of fun to hop into matchmaking with my friends when they want to play and this one caught my attention. What I like about Enherjar Synergy is that it seemed really easy to get started playing. They have bots that are pretty fun to train with and get to know the maps, and they also have a Student Aim Assist which really helped me get the hang of shooting with all the different guns in my first few matches. I never played other fps games that were so beginner friendly, like, I’ve played Apex and Overwatch and got slaughtered my first few matches, so I just stopped playing them right away. This one I feel like I can actually play with others at my skill level, which is awesome because I really love multiplayer shooters and it’s nice to be able to play one where I feel like I can do alot of damage to nubs hahaha

This game is INCREDIBLY hard to look at. It is by far the ugliest game I have ever played. The environments are built with just WAY over the top Neon and Boom. Your enemies are just beams of light by the looks of it and to top it off, there’s an UGLY as hell dirty visor screen filter thing going on and it’s horrendous. I streamed my first-time experience with this and I couldn’t finish a game because it’s just so difficult to just look at despite several attempts. I have no idea whether the map designs are good, or if anything else is good because the visual aesthetic is not it chief.

The Castle Doctrine

The Castle Doctrine

The Castle Doctrine is a creepy and unnerving exploration of the idea of home security and more specifically, the doctrine which it is named after.

You begin with 2000 dollars, a lovely wife, two beautiful children and a wide open empty home. You have a vault that you keep your money in. Everyone else around you lives in similar houses, with lovely wives and beautiful children of their own. They also started with 2000 dollars and a wide open and empty home.

Trouble is, 2000 dollars is not enough for anyone. They’re going to come for your money soon enough. And if that’s not enough, they’ll come for your family and take anything your wife is holding onto for you. You’re the man of the house. It’s up to you to protect the things that matter to you. So you build a security system.

EDIT: This review is obsolete. It describes what the game was like when the community was vivid and bustling (it was a very fun game back then). Nowadays almost no one plays this game and the few houses that remain are very much unbreakable.

–——————————————————————————

In order to enjoy this game you need to accept it’s rules:

*There’s not going to be any hand-holding, you’re supposed to learn how to play the game by trial-and-failure. Some of the best experiences from this game come from experimenting by your own initiative and gradually learning better methods to build and destroy trap systems. Tutorials would only ruin all the fun of learning by dying or getting robbed.

Loco Parentis / 孤女咒怨

Loco Parentis / 孤女咒怨

This game is hot garbage. Very broken and buggy. Tried this with a friend and when we got to one of the many game breaking bugs, we asked the developer. They stated that we were just doing it wrong and Loco Parentis might not be our kind of game…

At least it was fun to make up our own game while playing by throwing bottles at everything we could.

Real player with 7.3 hrs in game

Although I was confused with my friend 70% of the time, we still thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The enemy types that get introduced only get scarier and we had an amazing time coordinating, and eventually we even managed to get the hang of what the story was trying to tell us, we think. We didn’t find any clear bugs but only bugs that could be explained away by just spookiness. Worth the price and a great indie experience.

As a bean connoisseur, I think this game is pretty neat, though I wish there was a 2 player mode. Beans are dope. 11/10

It’s a funny game. I like the bean men. They added 2 player mode which has made the game more accessible, very cool, thank you Devs.

11/10 bean men recommend.

PYTHIAN

PYTHIAN

I wish I could write something positive and I really would like to support this app, but to do so I must be honest.

I joined the event short before it started. I saw some people on the plaza walking around and throwing fireballs. When it started and I entered the boat (first stage) I was all alone. It was looking like there were many people, but they were all just bots. (They had no names, were not reacting to anything…)

I restarted the program many times, read about these problems in the Stream discusssion forum, where others reported the same problem - nothing helped. I really wasn’t in the mood to try enjoying the event all alone and just wanted to fix that problem. At 20:55 I finally gave up.

Pythian offers a much needed escape in these event deprived times. The throwback events are what you would expect from a showcase of a recorded festival. They are more of a VR cinema than convey the feeling being there.

Then there are the (at the time of this review one) special live Events.

Those are specially designed as a VR festival event expierience and are nicely crafted with different maps for each dj set. Each set has something to discover and has nice light design like you would expect in a realworld event.

Occult

Occult

This is going to be a simple quick review. It’s a 4 player co-op survival horror game, if you’re familiar with the genre, there is nothing groundbreaking in this game. However, this game takes a Devour style gameplay and really polishes it. It is almost impossible on solo, but becomes exponentially easier the more players you have. Legitimate jump scares, lots of enemies to avoid, lots to collect, lots of ways to escape, multiple ways to deal with the entity, and more levels coming as the game develops.

Me and my boyfriend had a ton of fun playing it. I tried really hard to break the game but to no avail. Definitely distinguished itself from Sign of Silence. I will say that the branches in the maze were my worst enemy, slowing me down so my enemies could pick me off. Overall a great game with much potential, can’t wait for the new maps.

P.S. If anyone knows how to get the clumsy achievement let me know (have fallen a lot but haven’t died from it yet) ;)
