Jagged Alliance: Rage!
Хорошо! Я буду работать на тебя, проклятый капиталист!
Fine! I will be working for you, you bloody capitalist!
~Ivan Dolvich
Jagged Alliance is a unique franchise. With the first two games being incredibly good and majority of the games that came afterwards being incredibly bad, nowadays, the Jagged Alliance name has a weird effect on people. If you’ll call your game “Jagged Alliance”, it’ll mean two things. First, the people would buy it. Because the original games were that good. Second, the people would bh about it. Because, obviously, the Jagged Alliance games would never be the same. For many reasons. Even Firaxis Games' XCOM is not the same with the one from Mythos Games. Sure, the last two Jagged Alliance games are not Firaxis Games' XCOM. Not even close. But I don’t think they’re that bad. I mean, sure, both Russians and Germans fd things up with their Jagged Alliance: Back in Action and Hired Guns. But they’re Russians and Germans! That’s how they make games! Now, with Jagged Alliance: Flashback and Jagged Alliance: Rage! it’s a different story.

Django
I liked this game, and first of all look at the graphics its artistic. I was needing some hint at the starting but eventually after seeing the blossom kinda of tree ( meivazhi tree ) it was beautiful so what i did was straightly run to it. And the cut scene came. So i kinda had a idea about the tree. And the dog is fantastic, doberman is cool. Story was amazing too, the tiger scene absolutely cool. So yeah i recommend this game completely.

The Holy Silence
You wake up from a deep sleep with a terrible headache, and you see the dark, empty subterranean base.
You are saved by a traveler, from whom you learn that the world has experienced a disaster later called ‘The Holy Silence’. The sun suddenly disappeared, the world became dark, and the creatures and environment have changed beyond understanding.
Five races were born in the world, and humans became the common target of the new races. The combined strangling of ‘The Holy Silence’ and the five races made mankind retreat successively, and finally retreated to the underground base in order to survive.
Across the demon realm
This is an enjoyable luck-based game in my opinion, and here is why:
Sure, this game may seem like the broken wheel of an Oregon Trail carriage, but there is still some fun to be had! One run, things could go smoothly, to game-over just like that, or you could have a bad run where you manage to survive long enough to see the end. All-in-all, this is seen as a more hardcore version of Oregon Trail, so if you like luck, un-fair situations, and many retries, this is the game for you.
– Real player with 4.0 hrs in game
Do not buy this game. No, seriously, I know it looks cool with its gorey, retro pixelart aesthetic, and it’s Oregon Trail homages, but this game simply is not winnable. It tricks you right out of the gate with talent picks that make it seem like you have some choice in victory, but the RNG will simply deviate around your picks to ensure your survivors die quickly and often. Parts of this game are likewise downright broken, make zero sense, or add nothing to the game whatsoever, an the price tag attached is absurd. This is, at best an $11 title, and that’s if everything worked as intended, but it doesn’t and given there is somehow already a sequel available, it’s unlikely this will ever be addressed. I streamed this for over an hour and if you’d like to see the result of that fruitless endeavor, I invite you to watch here; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/955933818

Ascended
A hastily thrown-together game without much going for it. There’s no story, no music, the sounds are cheap, the maps look like garbage, the physics are broken, the few puzzles I tried were not interesting. The game feels like it’s still in pre-alpha - it needs a LOT of polish before I’d consider it a finished product.

Chicken Duty
I am re-writing my review after the graphical updates. This game all boils down to an RNG simulator. Where the foxes spawn and where the chicken runs = RNG. Where the chasers spawn and which door is open = RNG. Where the cars are = RNG. What math questions and their difficulty = RNG. Where the chicken is put and where the butcher goes = RNG. While I appreciate your effort, making a game and updating it doesn’t make it a good game. My apologies, but I’m not a fan of a constant RNG simulation. The idea of the game is funny however. :)
