HEIST
This is a great stealth puzzle game. The art, the sounds and the music all give the game a great mood.
There are so many ways to do better in each level giving you excellent replayability. The multiple paths through a level combined with checkpoints mean that you can always crawl your way through a more difficult level to get to the finish, but that leaves you room to come back and find a new way to get through the level even faster.
HEIST is easily in my top 10 favourite indie games of all time.

So most of the reviews on this game are like 3 years old, so a slightly more recent one, game is brilliant. gameplay is a lil iffy at times but if you love stereotypical noir shit this game is brilliant for it and it has probably the best soundtrack I’ve heard on a video game. idk if its worth the money but defo worth the play. 10/10.

Agent Klutz
I love this! The rhythm/music aspect of this game, made it super fun to play, as was the story shared in the chat between the characters, which gave a lot of personality and dimension to a 2d pixel art stick figure and made me want to know more about the person and adventures of Agent Klutz. It has also quite a bit of humor which made everything even more fun.

Yes/no is pretty harsh for this game, but the game has downsides. Ultimately, I can’t recommend it, but it isn’t a bad game.
Reasons:
1. It’s only one song. For the whole game. It works, because it’s spy music (the music in the trailer), and the game is under two hours to beat. Probably under 1 hour except I wanted to get 100% everything.
2. The controls are a little clunky. Every level, you can move on the first “beat” of the game, but not the second, then play actually flows on the third. Additionally, using the same button to aim, shoot, collect, move, turn, and enter can be frustrating — it’s all the LMB and where it’s placed can use the wrong command, causing a fall.

FRAMED Collection
framed collection consists of two games, originally released for mobile devices. you have to re-arrange panels of a comic book into chronological order. it reminded me of accolade’s comics: steve keene, private spy, a long-forgotten interactive comic on the c64.

The first time I met FRAMED on a smartphone, when the game was temporarily free. It enthralled me for a couple of hours, I went through the first part.
Of course, after a couple of years, I did’t fail the opportunity to play again and additionally in the prequel. Now the plot is finally revealed. And this is a great crime drama.

An excellent shooter where we play as mafia cats.
There are a lot of different opponents in the game, namely: jackals, mice, wolves and many others.
And the best part is that the game is not very demanding with the characteristics of a computer.

Kargo - A neo-noir adventure
WHAT IS KARGO?
It’s a minimalistic neo-noir adventure game with a focus on atmosphere, storyline, and stealth driving gameplay. It takes place in the middle 2000s in Eastern Europe, and among our team, we usually discuss it as “GTA+KRZ weird slav kiddo”. I also really love the short description that’s placed above this text, and I won’t feel bad for repeating it here:
“Be a heist driver, smuggle drugs, avoid police, gamble at illegal fight club, meet disgusting people and look for a lost cargo in the middle of nowhere in an open-world neo-noir adventure that tells a story of two thugs working for an Eastern European crime syndicate.”
GAMEPLAY
You’re a driver - so you drive. You’re a driver for a crime syndicate - so you have a gun and you often get involved in drug trafficking and other shady business normal people usually don’t do. You’re involved in the shady business - so you don’t want to get close with the police. In fact, you don’t want to get close with anyone you meet and talk regularly, as they also mostly do shady business and have a complicated moral compass (though it’s usually not as complicated as yours).
It’s simple, you’ll quickly get used to it.
STORY
A few weeks ago, a truck loaded with heroin left the dock of Karpov, but disappeared before reaching its destination somewhere in the middle of two cities. It was later found robbed, with all guards dead and no clues to follow.
The syndicate assigned you to escort the next shipment and sent you an old pal as a wingman.
How did it happen that now you are standing in the middle of the night forest in the Karpov region, observing the corpses of the driver and guards of the truck, the empty body of the car, and not a single trace of the thieves? How did it happen that it was ambushed, while only you and the onboard crew knew which route it would take?
These events will mark the beginning of a long story. Right now you shouldn’t hesitate - the road is waiting, we have a missing cargo to find.
DataJack
A sci-fi dive in the 90s, both for the game design + gameplay and for the dystopic cyberpunk concept style.
Gameplay per se is a bit wonky and you have to get used to the stealth mechanics, which are really retro-style by all means.
Still, the game is pretty enjoyable, the atmosphere is right and the lore is well thought out, which you can extrapolate by the mission briefing/debriefings and from the files you download from the terminals, giving the appropriate feeling and background, much alike to the first Deus Ex game.

You are a one man go in and solve the problem type of covert or overt operative whom corporations hire to do their dirty laundry. Covert if you move effortlessly like a ninja from shadow to shadow, crouch like a tiger, and jump like a spider waiting for the right moment to feed needles into the skull of your enemies. Or overt if you prefer the cacophony of machine guns and the smoke C4 makes when you are fed up with doors that don’t greet you with open sesame right at your arrival.
You can even hack systems, steal company data and make some side income by grabbing datacubes and other interesting things that come at your way. And since this is a Cyberpunk/Neuromancer inspired game presumably made by transhumanist wonks who enjoy running around with subdermal chips under their butt-cheeks, replacing limbs and adding subdermal armor and other kinds of protections are also available.

Whiskey.Mafia. Leo’s Family – the game that will move you in the history of 1920, you will start right from school, studying to be a mechanic and, accordingly, go to work as a mechanic. And then you will start to open up a world where there will be various opportunities. The plot will captivate you, the story will tell you how to earn money dishonestly in the 20s. It is worth noting that the game has nice pixel graphics, which conveys its atmosphere of those times and, at the same time, allows you to run the game on a weak computer. The music is pleasant, from those years. The game also has a drawback, which is that you need to read a lot if you want to understand the plot. And Yes, the game has a kind of open world and the appearance of life. I think you should try to play this game if you are not confused by pixel graphics.
