Augmented Future
The concept was intriguing, but I didn’t like the pseudo real-time combat. The timers are way too fast: there’s almost no time to click (much less think).
The interface is clunky: lots of waiting for text or buttons to load, for instance. I did play around with the settings and improved the speed as best I could, but waiting for components to load in such a minimalistic interface just feels bad.
There were also some basic bugs, like superimposed buttons.
Bottom line for me: if I’m going to play a game that ditches graphics for the sake of gameplay, I want the interface to be very good, and not something I feel like I’m fighting.

Suits: Absolute Power
Coming from someone who has also played the first game, the level of improvement in this sequel is absolutely incredible.
-Unique dialogue for quite literally every interactable object in the game
-Amazing and unique battle themes for every enemy
-PHENOMENAL art style that you’ll see with all the different enemy designs (and their corrupted versions)
-And a much more engaging story that further develops the characters as well as expanding on the setting from the first Suits game in such a great way

This is coming from someone that hasn’t beaten the game yet, but really have been enjoying the game and definitely recommend, but just to give my opinion right now… (although not the best reviewer but want to give a good rating for the game too!)
Comparing between Suits: A Business RPG and this game… I can tell the devs really put a lot of work into this game as well as continuing to do so as, if there is a bug spotted in the game they will fix that ASAP when they see the message for it (and if you report it on their Discord, they’ve fixed bugs in literally less than 5 minutes after reporting it!)

Pixelot
My son is having a blast!
The story is simple and doesn’t get in the way of the light exploration and puzzles coupled with a static turn-based combat system emphasising combo skills and elemental attacks.
Add in cute 8bit visuals and an engaging soundtrack for a great casual RPG.
Gear management and crafting are both easy to understand and use.
Only negatives are (being picky here):
-“Save and exit” option, right now the game auto-saves and you have to alt+tab to shut the game down.
- Full keyboard control and/or full mouse control would be handy for azerty users and anyone suffering accessibility issues.

Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.

100-Level Dungeon
I can’t remember what floor I’m on(it is either in late 70’s or early 80’s of floor level due to the battle room being completely pink color), and after I win the Crimson Paladin battle, the rock doesn’t disappear from the exit of that room, causing you to be stuck in the room with no way out. I can’t find a way to get in touch with the developer of the game to inform him of this, and hope he will see this review of mine about his game and will respond back very soon. No other floor did I encounter this incident on. I was going to recommend this game after I beat the game, but I won’t be able to beat the game until there is an update that causes this issue to get resolved. Until such time, I will have to skip playing the game since there’s no way around the rock/boulder blocking the exit that I can see.

Alone: Recode
After my first play-through ending in just under 17 hours with 18 hours total for the game one word to describe it. WOW!
Story:
The story seemed very sudden at first but it was expected since you are collecting yourself finding your friends steadily. Learning their style and what they should be used for as you get some time to learn each character. The diversity in the characters is your standard, healer, mage, tank, dps, and general purpose-ish. I expected more colorful dialogue from such colorful characters. After boss fights a few times I would go to the hub and see for any dialogue but was met with the exact same script each time. Some more development to care for them would be nice. A certain character that essentially swaps sides the tiny bit of dialogue we get with them was just enough for me to like the but it was too late. However the characters feelings for that double agent matched mine and i give them credit for that.

I love the FF vibes but this game definitely has its own identity. Love the Feel for each character, story and combat wise. Battles do require you to think and some cannot be rushed, especially the Boss Fights which is a plus. Overall this game does feed you Nostalgia craving with Fresh ideas!! Not a bad game and definitely Recommened

Dark Deity
I want to start this by saying that I DID enjoy the game… but I don’t think I could recommend it in a lot of cases. There are many reasons why for this, but at the moment I think that I’d want to start with the things I did like about the game, because there are a good few things I enjoyed.
Things I liked:
-Spritework. The animations of characters and attacks did actually blow me away from time to time. Was always excited to see what new animations I would get from a new class, or for the spellcasters, getting their spells ranked up.
– Real player with 51.4 hrs in game
Dark Deity takes its inspiration from Fire Emblem games, generally. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
Sprite animations are great.
Movement ranges are visible and easily determinable.
Weapon damage output, hit chance, and crit chance are all clearly visible based on your chosen weapon.
Leveling up characters is fun, and you have multiple options for modding the game in terms of XP, GOLD, and STAT start.
Cons:
-Loading screens. Holy moly, anywhere between 4-7 loading screens (requiring around 5-10 seconds of loading time each) between given battles. It’s nuts. A loading screen before the save screen. A loading screen before the dialogue cutscene. A loading screen before the actual battle. Absolutely bonkers and annoying. Please fix this, it’s fucking stupid.

far light
A game inspired by the jrpg of the nineties of turn battles, however it has something new like choices and freedom but like everything of the nineties do not think that you will find things easy.
interact and explore the game this is the biggest premise in this game of ten finals because even the main missions are not shown only commented by the npcs and the choices be careful what you choose after all.
you can end up as a slave or as the queen of your country this game is all interactable from buying a store to having an extra income to counting the truth to an old friend of your father will all give some kind of consequence whether it is good or bad I hope you like this experience different from other modern games
