Hunted: Kobayashi Tower
Brief Hunted Review
Come Out To The Coast, We’ll Get Together, Have A Few Laughs…
Hunted: Kobayashi Tower is a wonderful digital adaptation of a solitaire, dice chucking, push your luck tabletop game. This game allows me to relive the greatest feel good holiday movie of all time! My dream of being an 80s action hero is realized each time I enter Nakatomi Plaza Kobayashi Tower to save my wife Holly Sharon even though our relationship has been on the rocks lately. In each play-through, you are John McClane an unnamed hero with military training who thwarts a bunch of terrorists in a heroic endeavor to rescue the hostages and save your wife.

Fun solitaire card game. It’s hard to win, but that just makes it more satisfying when you pull it off!

3D Jigsaw Puzzle Simulator
I liked the 3d feel to this game. It is really a unique game the way pieces can be picked up, overlapping, and even upside down. Sometime pieces will fall on the floor instead of the table and you will need to navigate to pick them up. Strangely enough I enjoy the challenges of placing pieces. However, the update in the spring kind of broke the enjoyment because the graphics look like you are putting together a quilt instead of a puzzle. The borders are too distracting so it is difficult to know which piece goes where. If development can provide the option so the graphics clearly transition to the next piece as before I would make this my favorite puzzle game. Right now it is borderline to recommend the game because of the quilt appearance, but do like the developers ingenuity.

When I was a child I liked to solve puzzles, the game helped me to recall memories. Great implementation! Can’t remember such thing made in 3d setup.

Mind Games
Mind Games is a puzzle game that states that it will exercise your mind, but to the point where you want to pull your hair out.
Graphics:
The graphics remind me of the nostalgia 90s pc games. Some are crisp and some are cheap. Not much detail going on.
Music:
This is a mixed subject, as some people have said that they ripped music from other pc games. Reviewing it standalone, it is basically Midi-style music. The problem is, when you minimize and maximize the game, the music changes and/or repeats itself, which is annoying.

Игра представляет из себя сборник головоломок, некоторые из которых я даже ни разу не видел в бесплатных браузерках.
Список всего напиханного очень обширен и проходить это все можно очень долго.
Здесь и пятнашки, и двухмерный кубик рубика, и задачки с расстановкой шахмат, и судоку, и т.д., но проблема в том, что почти каждый тип задач встречается в игре около десяти раз без значительного отличия одной задачи от другой.
Приходится десять раз отыгрывать мадагаскарские шашки, десять раз собирать магические квадраты из домино (причем, если не сильно вдаваться в математику и возможные комбинации, то каждый раз придется сидеть по полчаса-час над одинаковой задачей…), и так далее.

Kemono Mahjong
Kemono Mahjj is a fun way to learn Riichi (Japanese mah-jongg). The different characters each have their own playstyles so you can practice against a variety of strategies. Steam integration is poor, though–you need another Steam friend to play online. But you can’t directly invite your friends, so you need to copypaste them a code. I also find it impossible to type to my friends while playing (if I do the game skips my turn). So we have to rely on voice chat.
The interface/settings aren’t great either:

Riichi Mahjong has gained a lot of visibility on the west thanks to anime like Akagi and Saki as well as the Yakuza games, but implementations like Kemono Mahjong keep the entire focus on the game of Riichi itself, while retaining much of its own charm in the process.
It needs to be said: the attention to detail here regarding naming conventions is excellent, which is uncommon; some other Riichi games, both on Steam and not try to use approximate translations and the results range from confusing to outright funny and adherence to the rules (EMA’s - European Mahjong Association’s ruleset, in this case) is very strict and that’s a good thing.

Captures II
Captures II, similar to Captures, is a chess-driven puzzle game. The objective is to capture the opponent’s pieces.
While the chess pieces move according to the regular rules, the board itself varies from level to level.
Also certain squares on the board might have “tile effects”.
Introduced in Captures; poison, curse, portal and random effect are present in Captures II as well. Two new tile effects, shield and snow are new additions.
New Feature: Trade Offer
A new concept called trade offer has been implemented. The cpu can offer to add new pieces to the board or remove them. After completing the trade offer world, the player is also able to make trade offers.
New Feature: Perks
Completing a world(a set of eight levels) now reward the player with a perk. Perks can make your pieces stronger against tile effects, let you create trade offer or alter the board with new tile effects. For those who are looking for a challenge, try to disable all perks and win all the levels to unlock gradmaster achievements.
CONTROLS
-Drag & drop pieces.
-Click the restart button or press R key to restart the levels.
RULES
-All black pieces must be removed from the board to win the level.
-If a stalemate occurs, the level fails.
-If white loses all of their pieces the level fails. However, if white loses their last piece at the same time with the black, the level is completed.
-During a speed run, reseting a level counts as a mistake.
TIPS
-Random tips will be shown through out the game.
-CPU likes to trade pieces, take advantage of it!
Raygun Chess
Raygun Chess is a Early Access free VR game that is very bare bones right now. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. There are only 6 boards at the time of this review and they are part of the tutorial. The tutorial worked. Nothing else you can play at this time. There is no multiplayer at this time. Sort of interesting take on battle chess.
Not sure how to play the big board with the 4 players. Looked like a tech demo at this time.
Maybe come back to this game sometime Next year.

There is a very good reason no-one has come up with a game to take over from chess and that is because chess is the perfect game! But that doesn’t stop ‘Raygun Chess’ from giving it a go. In short, it is chess, but with rayguns. So you have a handful of pieces that move in certain directions and amounts and if they get close enough to an opposing piece they will shoot it down. To be fair the models look good and so does the sparse, but oddly peaceful space setting! But when it comes to gameplay I just couldn’t get into it. The grabbing mechanic of the pieces hardly worked at all and when it did I found that there wasn’t a lot of strategy involved, in fact, you can win all the levels by simply moving your shooters over to the enemy as fast as you can. But hey! Someone might like this and it is at least free, so I will give it the thumbs up with a note that if I could have given it a neutral rating I would have. But it didn’t deserve the thumbs down because it is free after all.

A hermit crab is finding a house
A rage inducing puzzle in a good way.
Just 30 levels but I had to restart several of the levels many, many times before I figured out the solutions.
Don’t press Escape to return to the menu - the menu just freezes and you have to kill the game and restart to proceed.

** Not sure what language this was made in, but do not buy if you plan to play in English**
No worthwhile tutorial, very very poor translation means card mechanics are a complete mystery with cards acting in bizarre fashion.. sometimes doing one thing, sometimes not doing anything at all. The performance is also pretty bad. I can’t really figure out any mechanics that work properly.
A shame because there is a lack of non-p2w card games out there.
