Overgrowth
The game still feels somewhat unfinished, but they actually fixed the combat so that it’s fun again. That, and the amazing mod support means that I can’t but recommend the game. It’s a bit pricey, but it offers some of the most satisfying melee combat ever seen in a game. Perhaps even more satisfying than Dark Souls or the like. Despite it’s tragic state after a ridiculously long development time, it’s a cult classic and one of my favorite games for a simple reason; The combat is so good. It’s my go-to I-wanna-clap-some-people-to-death-or-die-trying game. If you love melee action combat games like me, you can’t pass this game.

Amazing. I got this from Humble Monthly, installed it, and in one sitting completed the main story. Now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m writing a review. The main story is indeed 3 hours long, but it held my attention by being so fun to play and look at that it passed by way too fast! I haven’t gotten to try the other 2 stories yet, but I can say a few things about the game, and from now on, I’ll be referencing the main story.
The good:
- Movement: it’s amazing. There’s so many ways to get around, it feels so fluid to get from place to place, and the best part: Moving around is FUN! If I can have fun just getting from place to place, it’s a game I’ll enjoy. I’ve seen a couple reviews saying that the movement doesn’t do what you want it to do, but I just don’t see that in this game. Everything is spot on. Whenever the character did something wrong, it was always my fault, not the game.

Amazing Cultivation Simulator
TLDR: This application is not a game, its like playing inside the unity engine. If that is fun for you, go for it.
You will also learn about chinese culture along the way.
-You will spend your first few hours inside the game. But as the game progresses you will spend more and more time outside of it. You will start to read guides, then you will ask questions on discord because the guides are mostly wrong, misleading and misunderstood. Then you will ask more questions on discord. Then you will start to look up data in the game files, because its the only reliably way to get on information. Then you make a friend who knows somebody who reverse engineered the game. You start to talk about the game in “Whats the formula for X ?”. Then you scratch your head because even with the data files available and decompiled code you still cant figure out how the game works. As an advanced player you will be able to formulate sentences like this “Dont push your qi gathering over 2500 or else you will create a qi void.”

Played over 300 hours. VERY difficult to get started with, but the game allows so much modding via in game and offers a variety of maps that replayability is amazing. Started multiple games and get screwed by the game while trying to figure it out. Made some (very) OP characters, items, and potions to increase the rate of cultivation. Looking forward to figuring out the endgame components. Have I mentioned that as of this Review I have still not beat the game.
Story is a bit weak, but at least there is no handholding. Sink or swim, just like the real cultivation world mangas.

MMA Simulator
Oh, boy. So far, very bare bones. But it has great potential. First of all, you need to be able to pick your fighters tactics so they can’t just do whatever they want. You need to make a fight plan mechanic otherwise there is no point in playing this game. There also needs to be a point system for the sub martial art category e.g.(jab, hook, armbar) instead of it all going up together the same, just because that’s dumb. There needs to be more organizations, and you need to be the one who decides when and where your fighters fight, not the organization. Because that’s dumb too. Once that stuff is done this game should be in business. I also made a character and the face I chose changed to a different on and the strength coordination and stamina were not at all what I chose. stamina was my high one instead of strength being it. And also they get up from the ground right away. That’s kinda weird. How can someone consistently stand up right away after getting taken down? After this stuff is fixed it should be a pretty good game.

This is an text-based MMA team manager that also provides simulations of matches. You pick a number of fighters to contract, accept or refuse fights and with the prize money you can upgrade the gym. The game shows promise and can be enjoyed by MMA fans in its current state, but there’s still bugs in it, such as the training schedule that keeps resetting if you switch between weeks. When I try to manage the contract of a fighter it says it’s signed in the future. Sometimes you get a note there’s mail, yet there’s nothing. Eventually you don’t even get fight announcements anymore. Hard sparring matches cost no stamina despite what the game claims. And so on…

Sleeping Dogs
NOTE: I did not play 400+ hours of this game, it’s a Steam bug that multiplied my playtime. I inquired about it but got not response from support.
INTRODUCTION:
Wei Shen a police officer trained in the USA, now working with the Hong Kong Police Department has been sent on a dangerous mission. To infiltrate and gather information on one of the largest and most dangerous Triad Organization in Hong Kong. Will he break under pressure or will he do his duty as one of Hong Kong’s finest?
PROS:
- Nice Graphics: -I like the visuals but you can clearly tell it was developed with consoles in mind. The only redeeming factor on this area is that a free high-texture DLC pack is available for download. The world is adequately populated by NPCs though at times some parts of the City does look empty. It has a day and night system as well as a weather system which adds to the game’s atmosphere.

Overview
Sleeping Dogs is a third-person, open world action game following the base concepts of GTA, meaning a large city divided into sectors (all unlocked from the start), filled with main and side activities to take on and complete, each for different types of rewards. Unlike its bigger cousin, Sleeping Dogs focuses more on melee combat rather than firearms, featuring a decently complex, satisfying, and really spectacular system that delivers the “martial arts action movie” feel almost flawlessly in each fight. Players will impersonate undercover agent Wei Shun, and perform missions for both the Hong Kong police and Triads, while trying to maintain their cover story.

Sands of Salzaar
It was another 51/49 close call. The game is really fun and full of potential, so why do I not recommend it after spending so much time with it? Well, precisely because I spent so much time with it… let me elaborate…
ENGLISH LOCALISATION:
Most the narration goes through text. Translation are quite uneven, some of it is really bad while other parts are more competently translated. There is no english voice-acting, though I personally find the original quite charming and would not mind if it was not translated at all ever.

As someone who played this game in the last weeks I’m going to answer some questions you might are interested, if you don’t own the game yet and want to know if it’s good or bad.
What is this game about?
I would describe this game as a mix of:
M&B + Diablo/PoE + own unique asian artstyle
If you know games like Battle Brothers or Kenshi, they might can be compared as well.
Why M&B?
-
walk through the land with your Squad,
-
kill bandit groups or raid caravans,

Lugaru HD
Even if you don’t read any more of this review, just read the next sentence. The GAMEPLAY of this game is INCREDIBLE.
Lugaru is pretty much my favourite game. I was gifted it in Humble Bundle 2 and I spent at least thirty hours playing it before I added it to Steam. The combat is absolutely awesome and I keep finding little tricks and moves I had no idea about even after playing 25+ hours, like spinning and throwing a weapon at the same time. The campaign is pretty straightforward but the challenge levels are where I’ve spent the largest amount of time. Because the gameplay is so excellent, I keep coming back again and again and again because it’s so much fun. The hand-to-hand combat requires different strategies depending on whether you’re facing off against a rabbit (easier) or a wolf (harder) and the weapons are a lot of fun.

(I tried to make this as spoiler free as I could while still expressing my recommendation)
Lugaru is honestly one of the best and most powerful games I have ever played. Believe it or not, I actually fell in love with Lugaru for it’s story primarily, aswell as it’s music, and it’s gorgeous visuals. This will come as a surprise to many I’m sure because Lugaru is famous for it’s excellent combat system, and make no mistake it’s combat system is the main focus of the game and the main draw for the most part, and for good reason. The combat system is fantastically complex all while using a grand total of about 7 buttons to control the character and the combat is wonderful.
