Hover
I’ve invested a good chunk of hours into the game, and I feel pretty confident in this review. Hover : Revolt of Gamers isn’t Jet Set Radio Future. In some ways, it’s actually better. It’s a great game and something I’d consider a huge Kickstarter success.
There are a lot of comparisons to be made between Hover (and let’s be serious, Hover : Revolt of Gamers is a terribly long title) and the cult classic Jet Set Radio, but I’ll get to that in the second paragraph. If you’re not familiar with Jet Set Radio, it was a game for the Sega Dreamcast that focused on cartoony graphics, groovy sounds, and spraying graffiti while skating around. Jet Set Radio Future was the sequel to that game with faster paced gameplay, simplified mechanics, and a generally better, bigger, and more featured world. Hover borrows heavily from Jet Set Radio Future and Mirror’s Edge while mixing in its own flair, and the result is surprisingly polished from such a small developer.

tl;dr: If you like Mirrors Edge, Jet Set Radio, or any parkour game, you will love this game!
The main aspect of this game is the parkour and thankfully it works almost perfectly where moving around and gaining/losing momentum all feels very natural. Jumping as a function feels very easy to get used to and easy to control. One thing I would change about the jumping mechanic is when a player crouch jumps off a wall. It feels as though if slightly more momentum was maintained after a wall-jump it could open new routes of exploration for players. Other than that, the jumping is practically flawless in terms of momentum. Perhaps some blur effects around the edges of the screen when a player is going at maximum speed could be added to give a sensation of speed, but that’s not necessarily important in terms of how the character moves.

Parkour Tag
Fun game. If you like Rocket League but hate your teammates this is the game for you. No need to worry about teammates because its 1v1. The movement is satisfying and fast paced it peaks your anxiety as you are being chased and a sense of urgency while you are chasing. The game is quite punishing as one mistake can often cost you the round, but this gives you room to improve and land jumps, wall run, cut corners, and juke your opponents to the point of perfection. It has a small player base as of now but once more people see this game its popularity will skyrocket. Would recommend. See you in pubs :D

This game is really great. The developer is very responsive to feedback, and focused on creating the best and most competitive version of the game possible. At its current trajectory, I believe the game has a very bright and popular future. The gameplay is simple, easy to pick-up, fast, fun, but hard to master. Chasing your friend down or being chased down by your friend unleashes a hilarious and primal fear I haven’t felt in any other game. There are a handful of movement mechanics that feel incredibly rewarding to master. When played fluidly, the game is so satisfying to watch and play. At every level of play, it’s incredibly fun and exciting to play tag. You have to balance having a route/strategy and playing mechanically. I’m excited for the future of this game, and I highly recommend it.

Ben and Ed
About the bugs:
Now that the game is almost a year old, Ben and Ed has gone through quite a few bug fixes in order to make it playable and enjoyable. As of now, I haven’t encountered a single problem in my most recent playthrough, which means that the developers have done a great job fixing all the minor bugs that still popped up every now and then. I have unlocked every single achievement during my playthrough, so I can confirm that all the achievement related bugs (Blockbuster) have been fixed aswell. Luckily, I have never experienced any visual or hardware related bugs, which means that I can’t confirm anything related to that subject.

I can’t say I had a good time with this game. The clunky controls and terrible framerate make the game unpleasant almost all the way through. In terms of the levels and level design, at the end of almost every level, I found myself thinking something along the lines of “Meh, that was okay I guess,” only 2 or 3 times did I finish a level thinking “Wow, that was actually fun, can the next level be that fun please?” only to be met with a level that was below my already low expectations. Simply put, I’d say about 60% of levels were meh, 20% were good, and 20% were horrible.

RoboDo
Experienced on Windows Mixed Reality
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/c3r18ONKwi4
RoboDo VR is a singleplayer and multiplayer puzzle climbing platforming game, that is more focused on the platforming in the latter half of the game. I was unable to test out multiplayer, but I will say, per the developer, the MP levels are different than the SP levels. I think the game was going for a Portal 2 type of game, but obviously, this isn’t Portal 2, and it doesn’t have to be at that level (or close to it) to still be recommendable.

I was waiting a long time for this type of VR game. First impression was good. However along the gameplay I found bugs that really bothered me. So I’m still torn about how I feel about this game. I’ll keep the game in my library for now to see if developers will be active and fix it because it actually could be a great title on a VR platform.

World of Beast Hour
1886. The uneasy truce is breaking down. The world of Beast Hour is on the threshold of a new and the most violent war of all time. The War for Arkana is about to begin.
Arkana is a special substance that fuels machines and gives unprecedented strength to the human body and mind. Arkana has become the reason for rampant industrialization and exponential technological progress over the last decades.
The value of Arkana is unimaginable – this resource is scarce and can only be found in the most dangerous corners of the world. Raiders – outstanding soldiers and mercenaries – look for this demanded substance to support their side of the conflict but, most of all, powerful and mysterious Order.
However, these places are ruled by Keepers. Beasts from all over the world come here to receive their blessings and prove they are the ones to lead the world to a new age prophesied by Cult.
Choose your side – Beast of the bloodthirsty Cult or Raider of the totalitarian Order. Win the war and uncover the dark secrets of Beast Hour!
BRINK
Fight for your side, fight for your future, fight for your life.
BRINK is a brilliant game launched in 2011 when the market was saturated with shooters from every major and minor developer offering very little over their predecessors than a graphics ‘upgrade’, unfortunately this meant BRINK was and still is overlooked by many.
What set BRINK apart from other shooters, and still does is a fluid movement mechanic [S.M.A.R.T], its equal rarely seen in games even now in 2020.
Combine this with the great mix of classes, guns and the objective based maps playable form both sides, it’s a wonder BRINK never took over a larger portion of the market, and unfortunately means it’s been left to quietly sit in the background, a gem of the past, buried beneath the yearly copy and paste FPS games from big publishers promising the world.

Well, Game went Dead quite fast, and Promised more than it could hold, but it is a solid game, not good, but not terribly bad.
there are 4 classes, and while everyone has it own set of skills, you can play like you want, you can be a skinny soldier who runs aross the map like the TF2 scout giving ammo to everyone, a heavy spy with a minigun who disguises himself as an enemy, or just a averagely bulid medic with a shotgun, and you got quite a nice collection of cloths, so you can make your own unique character, may it be a street-cop, an engineer, or a heavy SWAT-Like Unit,and color the uniform how you want, as i said, your own unique character,

PANZER BALL
Great game. Movement feels smooth, online is easy to use (no private lobbies atm), and a map creator is in the works. Active discord run by the dev who is involved with the community.
It has some physics quirks. Sometimes you hit the ground, bounce strangely and lose all speed. Your fps has a slight effect on how your ball interacts with the map (e.g. 60 fps feels a little slippery for me, but 144 is fine), though in my experience one can do perfectly fine competing for top times at 144. These issues generally don’t affect gameplay too much.

This game should not cost money. I was lucky enough to experience this game when it was free. I wish the developer kept going with this game, it had a community, and it had so much potential. When the editor was released it was amazing, that momentum could have kept the game growing. Instead of the game costing money, there should be skins or a way to donate to the developer. Featured levels, weekly levels, gauntlets, time challenges, this game has so much potential, it’s sad to see the developer ignore it. If this game was still free I would fully recommend it, but I just cant recommend as of now.
