Til Nord
Nominated as Game of the Year!
Til Nord is fabulously beautiful and a lot of fun.
The feel of the ride is quite good, though it seems more of my wipe-outs should be killing me when they’re not. When a wipe-out is as funny as it is in this game, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more of them.
The ‘missions’ you are tasked with are fun, if few. The races are all quite fun and a bit challenging, but not overly so.
The scenery is incredible; just don’t give it close-up scrutiny in most places. Take in the full view, which is jaw-droppingly amazing.

Driving a snowmobile through snowy Norway. An enjoyable experience for free!
Explore!
In Til Nord you are free to explore the snowy Norwegian mountains. There is a mission-chain which can be spotted easily by the huge vertical waypoints, that the game uses to guide the way. The missions explore most of the area.
There are also races, that unlock other races when you finish with any time. All races also have an achievement for beating a certain time. This time is pretty sharp, and gives a true challenge to beat! The only time we couldn’t beat was the ‘junkyard race’, while some took many attempts.

Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition
Hi!
After playing Farming Simulator 2011 I couldn’t help but try this one, and it was excellent. I personally found it very immersive, very very expansive and packed out with silly amounts of equipment available to purchase depending on your strategy. It has the exact same gigantic feel to it that Farming Simulator does and if you dare to try it on hard as I did you’ll find you’re really really up against it to keep the slopes in good condition. I’d recommend getting the darker night mod available online somewhere as it really adds to the atmosphere.

Well where do i start…firstly i am a strong simulation game player YES i love simulations so i guess that makes me a bit of a pro when it comes to testing the games and giving a comment and review on a game i have played and tested, so now we come to Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition i have played this game constant for 192 hours and find it is a very good game it has many missions and you need to keep your eye on your hotels and once in a while change your preferences to meet the holiday makers so you get a good popularity, it is very easy to play and would suit all ages and it has many tools and equipment you can buy to make the game interesting the graphics is good but could be better as we have the hardware in this day and age to have excellent graphics for this type of game but in saying that in the real world you would not see much more in the swiss alps then what you see in this game lets be honest you would see mostly mountains with snow and some cabins and that’s about it.

SNOW - The Ultimate Edition
I can’t believe how many bad reviews this game got. It’s ridiculous. Espescially seeing all the complaints about things like speed and physics when in reality this game has WAY more realistic speed and physics than any other snow games out there like SSX Shaun White Snowboarding etc. All those games have horrible physics and DO NOT replicate real life snow sports what so ever. The funny thing is I have snowboarded all my life and didn’t even care much for skiing, so I was dissappointed that snowboarding isn’t in the game yet, but I went ahead and purchased anyways because I couldn’t wait any longer since there are no other games out there like this one. Long story short this game actually made me like skiing for the first time ever in the 18 years of my life of being a snowboarder. I’ve also been waiting for a game like this forever literally. NO COMPANY has ever made a snow sports game so realistic. I needed a game like this so badly and it’s finally here. So here’s my review:

For the record, before the M10 update, I would have recommended this game.
But with the new update, the game is so much less enjoyable.
SKI PASSES
I’ll start the with the biggest change: the ski passes. This is a very logical concept and, if it were well executed and well implemented into the game, it would have been great. Basically, if you don’t buy any ski passes, you only have access to the tutorial map and one other map, which cycles between all maps every week. With this change, the game doesn’t feel free-to-play at all, it just feels like you’re playing a trial version of the game. If we had at least one other map permanently unlocked like nine knights or something, it would make it sooo much better. Or cycking two maps at a time instead of only one.

After watching the trailer I wasn’t sure about purchasing this game right at the release. I couldn’t really tell if it was an open world survival game or a small linear style game. Also I couldn’t find any videos online from gamer’s reviewing it. I gave it a shot and really liked it so far. It is more of a open world game. It feels very much like a winter STALKER atmosphere. There is a Story mode which isn’t available yet which I’m looking forward to checking out. From what I’ve seen so far this looks really good. Here’s a link to my review on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IDEgdqiO-o

So, let me start off by saying that I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series. This is what lead to me giving this game my $10. The atmosphere of the game is good, not great, but I like it enough to preface it. The gun-play feels solid, lowish recoil and high damage as a gun should be. It is the ultimate equalizer after all. The game features a low but diverse cast of weapons like the AK74M, the AKS-74U, the 9x18 Makarov, a strange looking shotgun that reminds me of a Winchester Model 1200, I believe a Mosin-Nagant as I found 7.62x54r ammo on a soldier but haven’t actually seen the rifle, and finally a crowbar. (And to the people that will comment saying “It’S aN aK, iT hAs HiGh ReCoIl”, both variations of the AK Platform in this game run off of 5.45x39 ammunition, which is functionally similar to the 5.56 NATO cartridge, resulting in similar recoil. So get f*cked nerd)

Hiking Simulator 2018
Kind of pretty in spaces. You can play either seeing your character or with a first person view. At it’s dark heart this is a hiking sim filled with mountains to climb, trees to see, and cute little bunnies. Aw. Too bad the bears hate you. So do the wolves and boars. Most of the animals are dangerous, but it’s more that type of game.
I didn’t like that at first, but amazingly you can outrun charging bears and wolves. Ditto the boars, though those suckers will chase you. I hit the statue that shall hereafter be called Freyr’s temple and got chased.

AMAZING GAME……. 10/10 would buy. The wildlife blew my mind, the attention to detail is remarkable. the birds are kind of dicks tho, no need to ever go outside again this game has it all from giant brids to demonic burnt bacon like creatures. WISH I COULD HAVE PAID FULL PRICE! im buying it for my aunt as her dying wish…. its that good (sound track is top notch) the Aurora Borealis is worth the search it only took me 81 minutes. my girlfriend said she was going to leave me if i dont stop playing this game….. I CANT STOP SEND HELP… the snow crunch is supper realistic. overall a great time.

The Frost Rebirth
so i like survival games but the spawn rate of enemies is way to fast. game needs alot of work are we just done getting updates?
– Real player with 5.7 hrs in game
I i was excited to start this game since i missed survival games like this but, there is a big but.
graphics are set to max but looks like a dog took a shit on the game when it was made (i knop its early access but come on)
when i pick up things, they just vannish out of thin air, i am glitching through walls and rocks even have falled through the map a a fair amount of time. i am tired of having hopes for a game even for an early access and get let down. i dont expect much but then again let down. im not going to play this game again before the full version is out. as my experiences with early access games either get forgotten or takes a long long time to get ready for full release. you have a good thing going just put more time and effort to the game and its going to be a realy good game hopefully. i am not going to recomend this game yet until the games gets a few updates and is handeling better than it is know.

Fade to Silence
2020 Review Edit: After waiting a good long time and coming back, hoping to play a fully polished and exciting game due to its full release, I have to say…………………………………. This is still sadly a “Not Recommended” title. Not at its full price. Perhaps if a hefty sale price gets slapped onto it, check it out for a bit. However the full release is still chock full of bugs and glitches that make the game crash (not only crash, but I am then forced to restart my entire computer because the game program won’t cease). I’d also hoped the full release would bring more fulfilling content into the mix but progress in this game basically feels like a boring chore with no palpable reward. Final verdict: It’s not bad, it has its unique flavors, but still feels like a rushed product at the end of the day. I’ll wind up beating it eventually just to say I did, since I paid full price back in EA, but save your own time because there are better experiences out there.

I am in love with this game, even in its current state. I don’t write reviews. Positive/Mixed/Negative doesn’t matter to me. If I am interested in a game, I will buy it and check it out for myself. If it’s not worth it, I’ll refund it ASAP. I have zero desire to refund this game. It’s incredibly deep, and incredibly immersive from the get-go. I also find the “finite-lives” aspect rather intriguing, since it adds the element of “hmm, I probably should be a little more careful when I go do this.” Many people don’t like this part of the game and want a more casual experience, but I personally don’t mind for the moment. In my current play through I have played almost 25 hours, and have 4 lives left. One life was lost because I dodged into a wall and became promptly stuck, unable to move. Died to the rippers I was currently engaged with. Another life was lost by a stalker killing me through a wall .Its teleport attack outright rocked my world as I was taking shelter in an abandoned building. I had zero clue it was there, all of a sudden it whooshed through the wall and ate my face.

Winter Survival Simulator
What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.
While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.
Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.
Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.
What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.
Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.
You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.
You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.
The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.
