Dustwind

Dustwind

Let’s start by saying that I really wanted to love this game. I was swayed by nostalgia over Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel but was ultimately confronted with the realization that Dustwind still needs a lot of polish to compete with modern games.

The AI, in general, isn’t anything special which in some cases takes away any bit of immersion you might wanted to experience. Enemies screaming HELP due to low health, but insist on running towards you, or staying completely stationary while being shot at with sniper fire.

I cannot give a positive review of this game. I tryied… but this is getting worse everytime i play on it. I really wanted to love this game.

  • DEAD This game is dead, in all ways. No one plays PvP, no ones play PvE. If you have friends to play with… give it a try but do not expect playing solo.

  • DIFFICULTY The difficulty of this game will make you nuts.. it is hardcore on every map unless you know exact positions of every enemies. It is a TRY HARD game until you finish successfully a mission.

Calmed by the Dark Leviathan

The world is way bigger than it needs to be.

Content is locked behind arbitrary electricity walls that you generate over time.

The writing is janky and weird.

While driving around, the sprites stutter and jitter.

Someone spent a lot of time on this but it needs to go back into the ideas pile.

Arden’s Wake

Arden’s Wake

Beautiful example of how VR can be used to screen a short movie (or should we say “stage a play”? That seems more like it). The general theme (a heroine discovering her family history while transitioning to independence) is somewhat darker compared to “Allumette” but the cheerful artistic style and the rather sketchy character development still give it a light-hearted tone. Some viewers seem to feel “Arden’s Wake” ends in a cliffhanger. Personally I think it does say everything it has to say.

I got an Oculus Quest 2 and a link cable for my PC this week and this was the first thing that I saw on Steam that I thought I might like, so I picked it up.

It was my first experience with my own VR (I tried my girlfriend’s VR for 20 minutes some time ago). I’m a little embarrassed because I thought that it was a game, but it’s really an animated short. The experience was wonderful for me and I recommend the movie.

I was disappointed that the movie didn’t come with playback controls. I know it’s only a short film, but I had technical issues due to my inexperience and it would have been nice to pause it and to go back to where I left off. All in all, I had to restart a couple of times and watch a good bit of what I’d already seen. Not a horrible thing, but was a little frustrating at the time.

Shardlight

Shardlight

This review can be read in full below or with images, captions and formatting at Review: Shardlight .

There aren’t many companies that can claim the same amount of devotion to a single genre than Wadjet Eye Games can towards adventure games. Their latest entry, Shardlight, doesn’t stray too far from the design mindset they’ve carved within adventure gaming in the last decade – and while this more than often works to its benefit it sometimes also, much like its other recent adventure games that haven’t strayed too far from the beaten path, detracts from the overall experience.

Real player with 16.1 hrs in game

Shardlight is a retro style Point & Click Adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world. If you are a Point & Click fan you may already know and enjoy several games by Wadjet Eye. In that case, you will likely enjoy this game as well. It’s not their best game, but it is a decent play.

Wadjet Eye is great at creating immersive games with interesting stories and characters and this is no exception. You play as Amy and you’re infected with a plague called “Green Lung” trying to get treatment which is limited, and the story soon evolves beyond that to a certain level of espionage and rebellion against a corrupt, oppressive government. You go through some self-discovery learning new information about your family and friends as well as gaining a greater understanding of your world. There’s a moderate amount of character development that occurs and a few less predictable twists. The script was well written so there aren’t really any awkward conversations and the dialogues are all good at driving forward story and gameplay.

She Will Shoot

She Will Shoot

(Revised a previous review) As of late October, 2021, I still cannot recommend this game. The whole thing seems incomplete. Paid $0.74 and not going to seek a refund for it because I feel the game has potential. For what it is worth, my pros/cons are as follows:

Pros:

  • Graphics are fairly good.

  • Player movement is realistic.

  • I love zombie-themed games (and this is so)

  • Love the slow-down feature (X key) to slow the action when shooting zombies.

Cons:

  • No save feature.

  • No continue from save feature.

So yeah this game is shit, but cheap. It can be used to kill some time.

It is poorly optimised, and there’s no real gameplay.

I wish there was a “Meh” option.

As We Know It

As We Know It

I saw this tagged as “sci-fi” but I don’t know if it should be categorized as that. It’s a post-apocalyptic story, but the science/technology in it isn’t fictional at all. Anyway, it’s got Mad Max: Fury Road vibes, but takes place within a setting similar to that District 13 underground city from The Hunger Games. The implication is that climate change eventually impacted the livelihood of humankind, and for some, the answer was to move into underground city shelters.

Good Stuff

  • Racial diversity. More than half of all the characters are not white.

I played Pinewood Island first and had high expectations for this one! I bought it during a sale since I couldn’t bring myself to buy it at full price!

Long story, short? I really enjoyed this game! Customization of your character was simple but I felt it added to the immersion of the game! The plot is phenomenal and I wanted to know more and more about the world we’re in! As of writing this i’ve gotten 2 out of 30 endings; 30 endings?! That’s insane but it shows how much thought went into this!

Ashley: The Story Of Survival

Ashley: The Story Of Survival

Game was a little interesting up front but quickly turned into a linear clicker game with an anoying end game of clicking an option 99 times, healing and repeating until you have enough to end the game.

Took less than an hour to complete with a speed clicker

Real player with 2.8 hrs in game

Rather haunting soundtrack in what is really just a generic clicker. In the early game there’s some strategy involved to avoid going hungry or becoming really sick, but later on you rake in absurd amounts of cash to fund a weirdly lavish post-apoc lifestyle. There is a story throughout of the girl Ashley losing her entire family to what I’m assuming was a freak attack by a major world power, but it doesn’t much go into detail in her younger hard years and skips up into high school and college fairly fast. Also yes, the story is in rather broken and sometimes funny english as expected.

Drekirokr - Dusk of the Dragon

The game is unexpectedly good! I rarely play a classic RPG game (I tried this game because it’s FREE!) but I became easily addicted to this game after playing about 10 minutes.

this so far has been fun the combat is good and i like the the story and characters but there are quite a few bugs. the Colosseum once you go in you are stuck with no way out. another one is you cant do the delivering side quest after you deliver the note(that and the no houses are probably the game not being done) but i love how the game is and would say 8/10 will recommend and cant wait for it to be finished thanks.
