The Sickle Upon Sekigahara

The Sickle Upon Sekigahara

This game caught my eye (price) and I thought I would give it a try because I love the lore from Japan’s feudal period. The art is ok. The story however seems weak and very much from the perspective of “western” eyes than those from that time period. However the nail in the coffin for me is how horrible the character is that you are given to experience. As much as I tried I could not relate to or have any empathy for the whiny and pathetic character who’s choices don’t really matter. If there was an option for my character to commit seppuku I would have done so immediately!!! I would not recommend anyone else have to sit through this. It is a shame since this game could have had some potential.

Why did I buy this game?

I will try to explain:

  • Very intriguing, vivid and challenging trailer and game screenshots on the game page

  • Excellent immersion in the game

  • Gorgeous soundtrack

  • Allows you to relax

  • relieves stress

  • Excellent quality

  • optimization

  • 20% discount

This is a single player game, I suspected that there will be a multiplayer here, but after an hour of playing, I realized what this game was for. It is designed as an anti-stress

There isn’t much here. A couple of puzzles with an extremely bland narration. It’s like a Speak and Spell talking you thru the whole thing. Definitely not worth the price. I don’t recommend this title at all.

I enjoyed this game though I was unable to pick up all of the red rings for some odd reason and I got to a point where I didnt know where to go, it was cute though, just difficult to control but that’s just me, I’m not a real gamer haha.

The Book of Distance

The Book of Distance

What can I say that hasn’t been said already?

About 30 minutes, not much to “do” but so much to read & feel.

You’ll need a solid 1.5m x 1.5m space to get the full effect.

Ok, enough with the technical stuff…

Such a wonderful VR experience!!! Just wow.

It resonated with me so much, (lens got foggy, something in my eye…both eyes, weird) as I am first generation after my father immigrated to the United States.

He worked very hard & for almost nothing for decades to provide for our family. We were very poor, no Nike’s or name brand stuff but always had food.

This game is a great way to introduce VR to beginners.

Truth be told I did not believe the other review when they said it will make u cry.

The first 3 minutes when i played this the atmosphere just captured my attention and It made me teared up because of the ambient. From the tone of the narrator to his father’s point of view. It got me on edge. Granted there are a few flaws in the game. But from the way The game was made and told You know that the developers wanted to capture the story telling. Making an immersive experience. Keep in mind that this story is a sad one.

Epic Tavern

Epic Tavern

Epic Tavern is a fun and interesting combination of management sim and tabletop RPG. After the tutorial, you start each day off at your tavern. You talk to your customers who usually have pretty interesting story lines, learn of new quests, serve them food and drinks that they may or may not like, get them super drunk, and build your relationships so that you may hire them to do your bidding. At the end of the day, you equip your heroes and send them out into the world on adventures that may only take the day, or it may take several. The success of these missions (and the events on the way) is based on the skills of the heroes and a few rolls of the dice. Many adventures have multiple approaches available to choose from to best fit the skills of your heroes, which means there’s a pretty good reason to play it a few times. After all your teams of heroes have finished up, they go back to the tavern for more alcohol abuse. Wash, rinse, repeat.

At the heart of EPIC TAVERN is a lack of focus on what is trying to be and executing both game subsystems. On one hand it is a tavern simulator with resource constraints. On the other it is a random event generator in guise with “sometimes” good story elements. You as the bar-keep are tasked with navigating both of these systems. Each subsystem has a wonderful loading screen that is viewed over and over as the game loop progresses.

You can recruit and level up your stock of adventurers in tavern play and then take them out on the road rolling dice. During dice rolls there is the “safe bet” and the “risky” chance to choose from. Even though there are about 5 “actions” to choose from it only boils down to two real choices in its current implementation.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York

After playing through Heart of the Forest, another WoD story game, I was pretty hyped for VtM Coteries of New York. First playthrough - great impression. I picked a Ventrue lady and went ahead. Dialogues are very well written, characters you encounter are believable and colorful, graphics are really nice and music is fitting and sets the atmosphere. I got to the ending, thought “well, frak” to meself, recreated my little Ventrue and decided I’m gonna do things different! And I did. And got the same irritating ending. This got me wondering. I checked Achievements for a clue, then read up online. Guess what. There is only the one ending. And suddenly, what originally would have been a 9/10 review, dropped to 6/10.

Intro

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York is a visual novel set in the universe of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. I didn’t have any knowledge of the said universe, but a quick google search shows that the work was derived from a tabletop game . Since I never played the tabletop version before, I won’t try to compare the game with it and review the game as it is.

The Plane Effect

The Plane Effect

I loved this game for a great many reasons and I hope you will too!

At its core “The Plane Effect” is a mystery puzzle game that unfolds as you meander through a dreamlike state, which often borders on the surreal and even nightmarish. One should note that this tale is depicted with an amazing artistry that stands unique even among the countless other “artistic indie games” out there, enacting a style that does not act simply as window-dressing but contributes to the experience on a fundamental level. Unlike many games it does not feel as if an artist was just asked to throw some pretty graphics on top of a game but rather that the art was always a core consideration when each of levels were designed.

The game is superb, it takes you in a world with an exclusive atmosphere. It’s peculiar and strange. The aim of the game is making you feel lonely and disoriented. It gets his objective completely. If you feel too much alone you can opt to use the GUIDED feature that helps you to overcome every kind of difficulty you may face. The puzzles are ok, the sound controls are missing.

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/nwsQAz496Ck

This is a story-driven shooter set in Victorian England. Some plague is happening and the city is quarantined. It’s a real cheap price for only $6 USD, but there is a reason for that. It’s in Early Access and well, it’s very unpolished.

I would have loved to have done a full review for this game. Unfortunately, I ran into too many bugs. My whole experience ended when I encountered a game-breaking bug that stopped my progress about 20 minutes into the game. I tried picking up a book to place it in the correct order, but the book would disappear. There’s no inventory system. I tried seeing if the book would spawn back when I clicked on the place to place the book, but nothing happened. You need to place the books to get a key to open a door to be able to progress.
