Twin Stones: The Journey of Bukka
Twin Stones: The Journey of Bukka is a higher-end student project 3D platformer, with considerable attention paid to level design, artistic direction, and musical score. You play as Bukka, a vaguely anime-y person in what I think is a fox-skin coat (though those may be his ears, it’s hard to tell) wandering through some unspecified but gorgeous landscape, when you encounter Shiva, the dancing Hindu god of destruction, here incarnated as a weird flying cutesy-weasely thing with a preposterously long, flowing tail, who informs you that his brother, the god of creation (presumably Brahma, though he’s not specifically named) has gone crazy and is going to wipe out humanity. To stop this from happening, you do the standard 3D platforming thing: run, jump, slide your way through three sprawling levels to get to the end, occasionally fighting monsters along the way. Collect all the coins, and the rarer but uncreatively-named “special coins” along the way to up your level-end score. Periodically throughout the game the two characters interact with one another, but the writing is at best pretty basic, and the voice acting no better than one would expect from this sort of thing (I found Shiva in particular to be at times annoying)

This game is on the right track. This is a good game, that with some time, I feel could give way to a fun little game. You can tell a lot of time has been invested into this game. The levels, while simple and short, can get mildly challenging at times and is well thought out to maintain a linear feeling to keep you on track to avoid you from losing track of where you are in the level.
However, it is very short and falling off or through the world is a very real issue at times. The biggest flaw that needs to be fixed is that there needs to be a tutorial or a pop-up window that shows the player how to take on enemies and bosses. Also the enemies are one shot kills and bosses are three shot kills, making this a little to easy. Also dying doesn’t cause you to lose anything other then progress that was made between the many auto save points.

Divinity II: Developer’s Cut
Divinity II Ego Draconis and Divinity II Flames of Vengeance comprise Divinity II: Developer’s Cut. The former the original and the latter the expansion. Depending on how you play the length of the entire production can easily extend past 100 hours.
To start, customization was a disappointment. Selection is limited to a male and female model with appropriate sound samples from which to pick. Want to sound like a noble or a soldier then Larian has made that happen. What Larian did not make happen was allow me to choose an avatar in my chosen image. The hair and beard and color of both can be chosen but only female or male and human at that. The game has goblins, why can’t the player be a goblin?

Firstly please be aware that the naming of the various Divinity Games from Larian studios is confusing to say the least.
WHAT THIS IS: This is Divinity II: Developers Cut (Ego Draconis & Flames of Vengeance) (from 2012).
WHAT THIS IS NOT: This is not Divinity II: Original Sin (from 2019).
SHORT REVIEW
This is one of these good games that has been be slightly overlooked in my opinion. A good RPG and definitely worth picking up. It is an older game now so the graphics aren’t cutting edge but they are still quite adequate and with the exception of one glitch that can occasionally hang the game on a loading screen between areas the game is pretty solid.

Dungeon Highway
I love the simplicity of this game! Really well designed and probably even more fun on an iPad or iPhone!

I would definitely recommend Dungeon Highway. It is very fun game that I think anyone could enjoy. You can earn experience to get multiple players, and improve your score to even get on the scoreboards! For me, I think about seven dollars was worth it. I play it all the time and so far, I haven’t seen many negative sides to this game. This is a great game, and I would definitely recommend that you buy it.

Enclave
Full Disclosure I have so many hours in this game because I have been speedrunning it for 6 years. I’ve made several videos about this game as well. If you have ANY questions about the game at all, even technical, reach out to me and I will have an answer. This game is basically my adopted child at this point, so this review IS BIASED.
What a Terrible Game
Enclave is still totally beautiful. This hack and slash Action RPG was ahead of its time when it originally released in 2002. Starbreeze had a great engine, and a great team working on it. The level design is fantastic and non-linear, so there’s a lot of depth to the levels, and you’ll get lost exploring the engaging scenery and all the twists and turns of wherever the world can take you. There’s 2 campaigns with a combined 31 levels total to go through (including bonus levels). The music is phenomenal and smoothly transitions based on if you are in combat or not. The game uses a money progression system in lieu of RPG levels so you can afford better equipment on future levels to deal more damage and take less. Finding the money is a hunt and one of the main challenges. If you find all 13,000 gold, you unlock a chick with a Rocket Launcher.

Enclave is a third person hack and slash game from 2002 (ported to PC in 2003). Back then there was, of course, no Dark Souls, the closest games would be Rune (2000) and Severance: Blade of Darkness (2001). And older folks might even remember titles such as Die by the Sword (1998) and Dark Vengeance (1998).
The game features 2 different campaigns (good guys and bad guys), each with its own levels and characters. There’s a total of 12 characters, 6 per campaign, but they’re all essentially variations of only 3 archetypes: warrior, archer, mage. The game has no real RPG elements, you don’t level up and don’t have an inventory etc. You just choose your loadout with available gold before a mission and that’s it.

Game of Thrones
A great mature RPG.
-
Very good, tight, quite lengthy and powerful story (with a fair amount of twists and multiple endings)
-
Interesting main and side characters
-
Good (sometimes perhaps a little too strict) to very good voice acting (and plenty at that)
-
Nicely written, believable dialogues (there are light dialogue trees too)
-
Thick character and world lore (accessible to people new to GOT by codex/encyclopedia pages ingame)
-
Nice music (composed by the TV show composer, it seems)
-
For fans: Familiar places (King’s Landing, The Wall, …) and cameos (Joer Mormont and Varys have their looks and voices from the TV show)

Recommended for fans (if it’s on sale)
Foreword: I didn’t read the books yet, because it mostly wouldn’t be healthy to do so and watch the show the same time. First you’d of course spoiler yourself, second you’d be unsatisfied with script author’s decisions, as usual. But no matter if you’re a fan of the show or of the books, it’s just happening in Westeros with the famous characters near you. Yet, there’s a bitter truth about this game: Not everything that shines is gold.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge™
Usually it makes sense to start intros off by talking about an initial impression… Instead I’m going to make a suggestion: Pick E’lara, up the difficulty, grab a fastbow, don’t use cover, and only use the ADS and zoom for the very far away targets. The game becomes a pretty damn good strafe shooter. With that out of the way…
Hunted really does not leave a good initial impression. The gameplay, aesthetic, and presentation is an unfortunate result of that era of gaming that had releases proudly wearing a “I’m Gears of War but with blank” badge on their sleeve. Hunted’s blank is dark fantasy. The end result is a mixed bag of good ideas, clunky implementation and inconsistent polish, Yet somehow is still a really good time.
– Real player with 40.9 hrs in game
Normally I like to finish a game before I review it, but since this game is super cheap during the Steam WInter Sale, I wanted to go ahead and give a brief review while it’s still on sale.
Is Hunted a great game? No. It is fairly medoicre, however I do think it is worth the $1.24 that it is selling for right now.
It kind of feels like I am playing an over the shoulder 3rd person version of Diablo, just not as good as Diablo. The levels are quite detailed and interesting giving an open world feel, but is actually linear except for when stumbling onto secret areas. There aren’t a ton of secret areas (so far) but the secret areas are more than just a room too, and are actually a bit more interesting than the main game. The secret areas actually seem to give the world more life than the main game does. There are also some minor secret areas that require either the barbarian or the archer to open and if one doesn’t happen to be running that character it’s a little wonky figuring out how to open them. Thankfully, the minor secrets don’t hide anything important, just the occasional weapon rack or potions.

Jade Empire™: Special Edition
Jade Empire could easily been seen as the first step for Bioware towards more simplistic and action based gameplay however it manages to avoid the scorn many felt towards the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series by providing a beautiful and inspired world, the writing is excellent and the characters are interesting.
You start the game off as a student at a martial arts academy. Things quickly change however as you are charged with saving the world and restoring balance in the world, pretty standard hero stuff really. You won’t be on your great all important quest for long before some random peasant will ask you go save a cat from a tree however. Jade Empire is a game that loves procrastinating. Despite what should be a fairly urgent overall plot you will find yourself spending most of your time solving the problems of various little people around the world. Sometimes I’d even forget why I was doing all this in first place.
– Real player with 78.0 hrs in game
I would definitively recommend this game, it starts slowly but as I progressed in the story I appreciated it more and more, despice some flaws in the gameplay and the annoying bioware “black & white” morality system.
Technics:
win 7 + xbox controller, no problems , nothing to complain about.
Gameplay:
The controlls are a bit rusty and at times ungainly, it doesn’t respond as well as it should, making it at time very difficult to resolve a fight. The advanced combat style system, while a good idea could do with some streamlining, there are almost too many styles (something between 15 and 20) but you end up using only a couple of them exclusively.

Two Worlds Epic Edition
two worlds has become one of my favorite games ever, and no one is more surprised than me. first of all, I didn’t start playing fantasy rpgs until a few years ago, they always looked too generic and boring, plus I really hated everything, and I mean everything, about the two worlds demo. but thankfully I gave it another shot and had a ton of fun playing it.
it’s not a perfect game by any means, but also very far from the trainwreck a lot of reviews make it out to be. the graphics still hold up, the viewing distance is really amazing, you can see stuff in the distance from really far away (yet grass seems to grow under your feet, which is one of the very few complaints I have). the music’s great too and the voice acting falls into the so-bad-it’s-hilarious category. it was grating at first but became entertaining soon, the over the top usage of ‘olde english’, the protagonist’s sarcastic remarks and taunts like ‘say hello to death!’ or ‘they look like my in-laws’.
– Real player with 182.2 hrs in game
Well, after playing quite a lot and still playing I decided to recommend this game, at least to rpg funs. I am saying this because with a ton of games available today and so many on sale offers, one may easily abandon a game and go for another.
Why I like this game? It is addictive. It keeps you playing for its advantages regardless its flaws. I have a lot of games, games I go back playing like skyrim, games I do not stop until I complete them like shadow of Mordor and games I never start playing yet. Too many games, too few time. Still, two worlds is a game that I start and did not abandon nor I will anytime soon. This game has something strangely addictive. For example I abandon dark souls about mid game while been an excellent game but I am now mid-game at two worlds and I hardy spent this little time to write this, right now I prefer to enter the game and continue.

Going to be completely honest here, this is one of those games where you have to put time into it to see that it’s a hidden gem buried under a bad reputation.
I can tell you right off the bat, the voice acting in this game is semi-lame, the dialogue is semi-cheesy, the running animations look like your character has a damn dldo in his buttcheeks, and I’m not trying to hate on it nor am I trying to be funny, it really does lol. The camera also seems to be a little motion-sickness inducing for some but personally it doesn’t bother me, this is coming from someone that gets motion sickness very easily in car rides, and a tiny bit in VR. HOWEVER, as a fan of The Elder Scrolls series and open world games in general who has put hundreds of hours into Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, I can tell you that this game is like a poor mans version of those games but in 3rd person……. and it does a surprisingly good job. It’s nowhere near as bad as the first one was, though the first one is really fun if you give it a little time, it’ll catch you off guard. I think the biggest thing that hurt the first game was that the voice acting was absolute dog sht to the point it almost felt deliberately comical, and the animations were like staring at a flip book, literally.
