Freyr’s Love
Although the game is not finished, it makes me think that it may be a great experience with a story.

Clarevoyance
I do like the nostalgia of being back in Southwestern Nova Scotia. It’s kind of neat with the folklore twist and the questing. I appreciate the history that’s shared. I have told my kids about various bits of history from back home like Samuel de Champlain and the Expulsion. I showed them the Clare Lore that backs up the thing I knew. There’s so much more I didn’t know or forgot from 6th grade social studies class
One thing I wish were better, some scenes are pretty laggy. I’m kind of surprised given the simple layout of the game.

This game was a trip. Clarevoyance is a visual novel with light resource management elements set in the Acadian municipality of Clare in Nova Scotia. The images in the game are all taken in the region and all dialogue is voiced by locals in Acadian French with English subtitles. I am from New Brunswick originally so it sounds pretty nostalgic.
You play as someone visiting relatives in Clare over the summer. As you travel around doing different activities and “spinning yarns” with the locals, you start to realize that things are not quite as they seem. The story incorporates local legends in a way that was pretty clever and fun. The resource management portion involves earning money, buying food and managing your “well being”, a sort of HP gauge that decreases when you use your powers to interact with the local mythology and increases when you do certain fun activities. There is also a time system where activities use up certain amounts of time in a day, and some things can only be done at specific times of day. There isn’t a time limit though so you can take as long as you want to proceed through the story.

Niffelheim
Niffelheim Review
Niffelheim offers you a different but very addictive adventure, and that is not all!
Some key points that this game offers:
-
Stunning visuals and animations.
-
In depth crafting system.
-
A little bit of everything, some RPG, some Strategy, some Mining and a whole lot more.
-
Indie Gem 5/5
-
Very addictive play.
-
Co-op and Multiplayer options available.
Gameplay & Controls:
The game has full controller support. However, if you prefer to stick to the trusty keyboard and mouse, fret not the game plays beautifully with either. The mouse can be used to complete a whole bunch of actions, which can get confusing or just limit the effects. By effects I mean, we get to hunt, forage, chop trees and mine, there are buttons for each of these actions. You do have the options to remap keys to your liking.

WHAT THIS GAME ISN’T: a regular action 2D “hack and slash” game.
-
WHAT THIS GAME IS: a resource gathering & crafting survival game. (gather, hunt, eat, mine & craft to further kill bosses and defend your self from hordes)
The violence in the game is secondary, is a very chill game with its dangers enough to make it very fun!. It is very addictive due its rewardness .
However tha combat system isn’t that obvious. (You have to manually block and hit; thankfully you can play with a controller which I found funner. The combat is simple and fun enough for the experience it offers. I combat is so much easier and fast with controller)

Apotheon
Apotheon is a 2D game about Greek mythology. Apotheon means “exalted to the state of godhood.” The Ancient Greek gods that we know from Greek mythology and their powers are on display in this game. The storytelling feels quite accurate and would make anyone with knowledge of Greek mythology feel welcome to play this game from the beginning.
The protagonist is Nikandreos. Nikandreos means “victory of a man.” Combine Apotheon with Nikandreos and you can imagine what direction the story of this game will be taking. As Nikandreos you will traverse the map ascending to Mount Olympus and be asked to topple Zeus, the father of the gods. The art direction is quite impressive for a 2D game, which includes patterns, shapes, and figures known to be found on Greek pottery. There are diverse weapons and armor that appropriately reflect Ancient Greece. The weapons and armor tend to wear out from use, so you must find or buy new weapons and armor. This is when marketplaces such as Agora and Acropolis come into play. Agora and Acropolis are marketplaces that include weapon merchants, armor merchants, and black market merchants are selling their items. Black market merchants sell the rare weapons, weapons you will find that have unique properties.

As a casual player I liked this game a lot: A God-of-War-like plot, classic platforming, a great variety of arms and enemies (though I hated all dog-like creatures, as I do in every game) and nearly everything of your heart’s desire (if you’re into platformers) apart from platforming challenges (as you can find them e.g. in Ori and the Blind Forest) make it really a great game. What I probably liked best was that every bossfight had its very own gimmick, so you don’t just hit and roll and rinse and repeat all over hoping you can finally kill the boss and then do the same thing all over again with the next one, no, the devs have been really creative in designing customized bossfights (Yet Poseidon is a tough nut to crack and also the pre-final fight against Zeus packs a punch, but all the others are less difficult. Personally I liked best the fight for the Aegis of Athena, since in my eyes it’s the most creative one and the reward one of the most useful in the entire game). Also the difficulty level is absolutely acceptable: It’s neither too hard nor too easy, even on Olympian difficulty it absolutely remains playable and does not even become as difficult as e.g. Salt and Sanctuary ordinarily is. All in all a fantastic game.

Creatio Ex Nihilo: Aition
OMG BATTLE THESE SHITTY GODS IN THIS ShITTY GaME
– Real player with 10.0 hrs in game
***Before beginning, I would like to give a special thanks to my brother, Cold Dingo [33rd], for proofing this lengthy review so early in the morning when I am certain he would have preferred sleep. Your selflessness was not overlooked.
Creatio Ex Nihilo: Aition-literally translated from Latin as, “creation from nothing: cause”-is a turn-based strategy roleplaying title depicting the inception of the universe from a being known as Uros. As an avid fanatic of Dungeons & Dragons, this title struck my interest considering much of the former lore from the tabletop game stemmed from Greek mythology as does CEN:A. Even though the concept of this project is intriguing, the execution does appear to lack polish.

The Mooseman
The Mooseman is a beautiful walk through the myths of the Perm Chud tribes, of whom I knew nothing before playing this game.
You play as Mr. The Mooseman, one of seven The Moosemen Brothers, and a shamanistic figure who can (a few minutes into the game) see freely into the spirit worlds. You are tasked to go through three worlds, discovering the ways your spirit vision, and later another ability, can help you solve puzzles and move forward. There are some skill-based challenges, but they’re very gentle, and if you just want to see the way everything plays out the puzzles you need to solve to get to the end are pretty simple. Things get a little more complicated if you want all the collectibles, with more exploration and observation of subtle environmental cues needed.

Note: A key was provided by the developer for the purposes of the reviewing but it does not change my opinions of the game.
The Mooseman
Gameplay
I’ve always been fascinated by various myths associated with different cultures. Reading about them was the most fun I had in my cultural classes so when I saw The Mooseman, I was immediately interested in the way it was presented. The game puts you in the shoes of the Mooseman, a person who can see and interact with the spirit world.

Zeus vs Monsters - Math Game for kids
This game is a really good math game. You can be Zeus or Athena, and you can change the difficulty in the options menu. One thing that I had been wondering, was if you could pick which type of equations you do, and the answer is yes. You can pick from Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction as well as what the math difficulty is. The hardness, is how fast the monsters are not the math equations. So, if you have a kid who is learning math, than this is a go to game to help your child.
– Real player with 3.9 hrs in game
Zeus vs Monsters is an educational game designed for kids to hone their maths whilst having fun. You solve math problems to stop the enemies reaching you with either spear throws or bolts of lightning depending on your choice of either Athena and Zeus respectively. It manages to be fun in the first few levels but can get a little dull afterwards. It’s maths. Of course it does. I could see this being a good little game to play if you wanted to brush up on your simple maths or to help your children better their sums whilst learning a little Greek Mythology.

Anthropomachy
So… I was very excited when I found this game. Not only because it’s exactly the kind of game I was looking for, but also because the price was so reasonable.
I just finished my first play-through and I did really enjoy it although I do have some comments & concerns about gameplay.
I saw before purchasing that a lot of people insisted this game needed some kind of tutorial & that has been fixed, I found the tutorial to be super helpful. I do agree with another commenter though that a guided-victory tutorial (rather than a show & tell tutorial) would be much more beneficial.
– Real player with 24.6 hrs in game
I highly recommend it!
Anthropomachy is a great strategy game, and you have to conquer the world as a Greek God!
Each God has its own powers, and you can choose your own path when purchasing them: good, neutral or evil?
It’s not so easy to be a conqueror, but I thought this is the funniest part of this game, because you have to find out what you have to do to be a better God to your followers.
The experience in-game is not boring, even when you’re doing the same actions constantly, because the developers added some features such as sudden messages appearing with choices that can help you or not (making people lose faith in you or believe you are their savior), and some news that appears in red that can help you in some situations.

Arena Tactics
Kinda fun. Some strategy involved….
– Real player with 385.2 hrs in game
A review from someone who’s started playing on day 2 of PC release:
Not as good as it could be, but it’s an early access game to keep an eye on. Key words: Early Access.
To start, it is very obviously pc port of a P2W mobile game. It’s monetization copies Clash Royale, being that you gain card for each of your characters through winning games and/or buying them directly with buyable in-game currency. You then use the cards to upgrade your characters through currency obtained the same ways. For some reason, I don’t seem to be getting matched in multiplayer with people who have realized this is a thing yet.

Boss Rush: Mythology
Right now the game is on sale for only 0.99 euros, which is a steal if you enjoy:
-
Side-scrolling combat
-
Dark Souls
-
Boss fights (that’s all the game is)
If you don’t mind the graphics you see on the trailer and you can put up with the occasional junkyness that comes with indie games, Boss Rush: Mythology is definitely worth a buy.
I’ve only beaten the 1st boss so far but i will update this review once i finish the game. For now i just wanted this to work more as a shoutout for what seems to be a great deal.

Boss Rush: Mythology feels like a 2D Dark Souls that, like Cuphead, is just boss level after boss level. I highly recommend this game, but with a few caveats. The difficulty bar for this game is insanely high, and without knowing a few tricks, it may seem unmanageable for some players.
Pros:
+Difficulty - If you love difficult games, then this is for you. Cuphead and the Dark Souls series are some of my favorites, and if these games appeal to you, then you will enjoy Boss Rush: Mythology.
+No fluffy B.S. - This game jumps immediately into the action. There is an optional tutorial, and then you have your hub area. This area is small and lets you either buy items with gold accrued, or head over immediately to the bosses. Even though the area is small, you can also warp straight to the items or boss doors, saving you a few more seconds of running. This game cuts out all of the extra fluff, focuses on just the bosses, and has a simplistic setup, which I enjoyed.
