DISTRAINT 2
Proof-read the English, tested the game, and wrote a fully comprehensive guide. Safe to say - I’ve got this game down to a T! TL;DR - buy the game, play it, and enjoy! Easy 100%er and very enjoyable.
Backstory:
When I played the first DISTRAINT, I honestly wasn’t expecting much more than an easy 100% achievement game to help knock my stats up for a very low price - my expectations were instead surpassed. The storyline was a little twee and fairly predictable, but clichés and linear / predictable stuff exists for a reason: it’s what humans like. I realised the entire game had been written, composed, drawn, really just everything’d by ONE guy, and consequently rose in my estimation. I followed Jesse on social media, and idly came across a post some months later about a sequel, and his new DISCORD server. I joined the server, and started getting hyped up for the sequel. Then he picked me to proof the English :O so I really have seen this game since its infancy!

After a three year gap, Jesse Makkonen’s back with Distraint 2! If you’ve read my first review, you’d know that I was so moved by the mature, depressing c’est la vie story of an ordinary person making one bad choice after another. It wasn’t lengthy but its message was profound. The ending may have bummed out and sparked some speechless responses.. But thankfully if you’ve kept your hopes up- Distraint 2 picks up immediately from what happens to Price after that screen cut to black. How much lower can Price sink into?

One Way Road
In the foreseeable future, humanity has turned its gaze into space. A new era has come - the era of space exploration. After settling the planets of the Solar system, it was time to explore and colonize new worlds and star systems. What previously considered impossible, became a reality. Science has reached unprecedented heights, people around the world have united, forgetting about ageless conflicts and feuds.
However, along with great discoveries, new troubles appeared in people’s lives. The long-awaited meetings with extraterrestrial civilizations dragged mankind into a new round of military conflicts, and the struggle for resources and habitable territories only intensified the differences between different species.
The appearance of a new player on the galaxy map and a huge number of bloody wars did not go unnoticed. From the very center of the galaxy, a new rival is approaching us. Its power is immeasurable, and its intentions are unknown.
The player will take control of a spaceship as the captain of the Space Fleet Command, James Dekker. Together with a team of recruits, on a battle-worn ship, you will look into the most remote corners of the galaxy, engage in combat with many enemies, fight with entire fleets, protect not only the Earth but all of humanity.
Fascinating and interesting storyline.
Trying on the role of the Space Fleet Command captain James Dekker, take part in numerous star battles, travel the galaxy in search of answers, fight for the survival of humanity.
Progression system.
Distribute experience points, improve ship systems, install new equipment. Adjust the ship under the playstyle you have chosen, or adapt yourself by choosing the optimal battle tactics.
Variety of game mechanics.
Fight in outer space, on the surface of planets, among dense asteroid fields, and even inside a huge space station. Take control of a heavy space fleet cruiser as well as a small officer fighter.
Save One More
Save One More:
One of the many honourable serviceman on the battlefield is the one with the role of the Medic. These individuals are exposing themselves to the same dangers and fears as any other soldiers in battle. Not only do they have to dodge bullets and upcoming bomb shells, just like any other warrior, but their primary job is to get to their wounded comrades as fast as possible, without thinking twice about their own life. They definitely have a super sense of hearing to be able to make out the call, “Medic,” between explosive shells and whistling bullets. What courage these men must have in such chaotic situations, motivated by the thought, “I must save one more.”

A nice twist on war gaming
Short good game. I quite like art style.
A few tweaks would make a huge difference:
Firstly:
cut scenes should be skipable.
secondly:
the game displays wounded/saves/dead if one soldier goes down 5 times and you save it 4 times before it dies score would be 5/4/1\. when your dealing with groups of 20 or 30 soldiers its very hard to tell how many units are currently down. Quite a few times I though I'd revived all wounded only to have the dead count surprise me by going up.

## UNREAL LIFE
It's uncommon to play a game which can really feel like a direct translation of its creator's vision. Games which allow me to feel another human's soul have the same quality as a hand painted work of art, or painstakingly hand crafted piece of furniture. So much of video games are decided by large groups which work tirelessly to scrub the final piece clean of any distinctively human marks all for the sake of marketability and a "professional" appearance. Unreal Life is a game which I feel can only exist for the purpose of an artist putting themselves on display for the world to see and attempt to understand. Overflowing with charm and a clear love for the games which inspired it, Unreal Life plays like a Yume Nikki inflected version of Ghost Trick with just enough aesthetic and narrative influence from various other games, anime, movies, etc. (the developer even has a helpful list of things which have inspired them on their website) where just by playing the game I can really get a sense of the kind of person that hako (the game's developer) is.

**My playtime:** 14.5h (based on Steam, 100% achievement)
**Grindy Achievement(s):** Yes (1+ achievement).
**Optional Achievement(s):** Yes (33 achievements).
**Difficult Achievement(s):** No.
### Intro
You wake up in a place you don't recognize. Greeted by a traffic light, you tried to remember what was happening. It turns out that you have a unique ability: reading an object's memory. As unreal as it sounds, **UNREAL LIFE** tries to help you make sense of everything through a series of adventures and events.

## DARK FACETS
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
This game is, thus, just about perfect.
It feels like one of those tower defense games from a dozen years ago, or maybe one of those games from the eighties where the ideas of the writers far exceeded the capability of the gameplay and graphics (like Might and Magic: Book One), or maybe a demo that comes on the cd of a full game (fun, but it leaves you wishing for more than what the limited experience provides), or maybe that one poorly-translated foreign game with a strangely-intricate storyline you got from a garage sale twenty years ago that you wish you still had so you could explain to people why you like to pretend "funceame" is a real word.
*– [Real player with 13.5 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198119784840)*
I was expecting Dark facets to be similar to the old flash games like Age of War or Stick Wars; And it was! Only much more boring. Age of war and Stick Wars had a fairly fast play style, but dark facets is incredibly slow paced. It takes a long time for resources to gather, a long time for units to march, longer to kill enemy units, even longer for your units to chip away at an enemy building. Then they just have to move to the second building (Of five). It feels less like i'm playing a game, more like watching a series of gifs that i switch between occasionally.

## Magia X
Magia X is a good Side Scroller Game that i enjoy playing. With a Good Graphics, Cool Skills Effects, smooth attack pattern, you could kill a bunch of enemies on site as long as your prepared for a fight. But as an early access, there's a lot of limitation on this game:
1.) Only 1 out of 4 character is available as this moment "The Magic Swordsman".
2.) Sometimes the esc button which you could access the "Settings" and the "Quit Button" were sometimes not functional. Good thing that this is a Side Scroller Game not a VR one.

Edit: (Changed from a negative to positive review)
The 4 DLC characters are now free to EA buyers of this game and I for one thank the Devs for that.
There is still an issue with controllers not working as intended (you can do everything except actually move in the game), this was due to a recent patch and hopefully will be sorted out.
The 3rd area in the game is still not in but isn't far off.
The actual game is pretty darn good and hopefully won't be over shadowed by it's troubled release as it's worth a shot.
