The good
- good graphic
- really nice environmental destruction
- nice balance between exploration and shooting
- nerdy jokes :blobevil:
- interesting setting

The bad
- textures can takes ages to load on boards or posters but not general environment
- enemies have average AI
- fact that nothing is really anchored to the floor makes even big object have funky physic when we're just walking next to them. Toilet that gets ripped out just because we walked into it? No problem!

Conclusion:
I really did enjoy it. It's not a masterpiece but it is a solid mix of combat and exploration that builds story from bits of audio logs and notes scattered around.

Story:

We start by entering the building of national agency in search of our missing brother. Quite fast we're "promoted" to be director of said office, and need to fight hordes of "daemons" that possessed big chunk of bureau staff. There are some staff that did not turn thanks to a resonance devices they carry. Our goal in the game is to find our brother, but also to clean the bureau from the force that possessed people - the hiss. Our job is not easy as building we're in was used to study paranormal activities and objects. PC floppy that has telekinetic powers, anchor that is spitting piles of clocks or fridge that kills people, if someone is not staring on it without blinking 24/7.

Gameplay:

💸 Microtranzactions	None	🏆 Achievements	Not possible to check
📊 Performance	Wors very well. No frame drops or stuttering.	💾 Save system	One automatic save. But it's frequent enough to not make game annoying. Game is mostly linear with no choices so there is no need to reload previous save.

🌍 Map	Map can be confusing as they tried to show 3D structure as a plain map. There are no "map layers" we can change in order to see different floors in a multi-layer location. Everything is smashed on one layer which means we can randomly end in a dead end instead of staircase etc.
🎮 Controls	Controls are fluid and responsive. We can run, evade, jump, hover, shot and throw object at enemies.
📇 Inventory	Very basic. Game has 2 weapon slots and 5 weapons in total, so we need to decide which one we want to use. Upgrades in inventory can be easily sorted by name, type or rarity which makes it easy to find upgrade for a weapon. There is a limit to how much we can carry which requires us to destroy junk upgrades quite often.
🏹 Weapons	Our weapon is one of the paranormal objects belonging to the agency. Shapeshifting gun that can act as handgun, mini gun, sniper, shotgun and rocket launcher. At first only handgun is available and other forms are unlocked along the way. I was using sniper and handgun. Variety is not huge but each weapon operates bit differently and have their own specific upgrades. Weapon don't have ammo and instead operates on cool down, like guns in first Mass Effect.
🕵️‍♀️ Abilities	We start as normal human and unlock paranormal abilities along the way. Telekinetic, levitation, shield, mind control. Levitation helps reach higher spaces and some side objectives, mind control is good to use enemies as target shields to divert fire away from us. I never used shield apart from tutorial. Telekinetic throws are used in combat to throw pieces of concrete and environment to damage enemies. Pretty much nothing in this game is attached to the floor so we can even use toilet to attack enemies.
🤖 Companion and enemy AI	There are no companions. And enemy AI has average enemy. Game relies on throwing piles of enemies on us, instead having them attack in smart way. They will not run around corner, they can't throw grenades, they will sometimes aim on the ground. The only thing they can do is try to position themselves towards us and take a shot. When we use mind control it's obvious they take a sec to re-configure their target priorities, as they will stare on us and then do sharp turn and start to walk in straight line to nearest enemy. They don't take cover effectively.
🥊 Combat	Combat is effective, flashy and dynamic. We need to constantly switch between using weapon and telekinetic throws as weapon ammo is pitiful and cool down is long. Enemies are bit on the dumb site and game "compensate" for it by making us really weak. At first we can die from taking few shots. We also need to be on the move constantly as enemies can spawn behind us. They are summoned from thin air by hiss so no place on the level during the fight is save. Not to mention invisible enemies that kill us in two hits.

Technicalities:

Graphic - ⭐️⭐⭐ - Graphic is really nice and I don't understand why game has so much problem to load paintings on the wall and content of the white boards. All other textures load properly
Music - ⭐️⭐☆ - Voice acting is good, same as combat noises. Music is forgettable
Bugs - ⭐️⭐⭐ - Didn't encourage any

The good
- well balanced
- two different approaches in story to take
- nice setting
- works well on really old PCs

The bad
- feels like one trick pony - I lost interest after first scenario is beaten as everything is scripted and predictable
- ending could show more consequences of our actions

Conclusion:
Well made RTS game with a bit of Papers Please vibe. Game goal is to manage colony in the middle of the arctic, by having to make tough decisions of how to keep people alive. Sadly it looks like there is only one proper way to develop the technology, as some ways to extract resources are noticeably more efficient than others.

Story:

Catastrophic event turned earth into big chunk of ice. Some survivors escape to the north in search of coal-fueled generators, which can keep surroundings warmer than -50C. Looks simple but I don't understand why would they build something like that in place that is already coldest place on Earth, and why use fossil fuels. After basic infrastructure is in place (houses, health service, harvesting materials) it's time to send people away to scout new areas in search for survivors, materials and bits of lore.

Gameplay:

💸 Microtranzactions	None	🏆 Achievements	Not visible on Epic
📊 Performance	Really nice, worked well on 2 core Athlon CPU :D	💾 Save system	Unlimited number of manual slots + auto save

Game has nice system where we decide if we want to have "pacifist" or "pragmatic" approach (Papers Please vibe). We can decide to bury bodies to help in grief or allow to take organs from them to boost doctors performance. Send kids to do light work or keep them in shelter. Decisions are made by signing up laws (one per 18 in-game hours). It takes around 30 in-game days to complete basic scenario. Apart from book of laws game gives choice if we want to keep peace in a spiritual or authoritarian way. Which basically boils down into creation of religious state or another Nazi Germany. I always went with the order and avoided more drastic laws, as I think religion brainwash is even worse.

🌍 Map	Overworld map is nice and detailed. It's easy to find new locations, know how long it will take to reach some place etc.
🎮 Controls	Mostly with mouse. In spots with a lot of buildings it's easy to click on one (and open up context menu) instead of move camera around.
🕵️‍♀️ Upgrades	There is moderately complex technology tree where we use coal / wood / metal etc. to upgrade steam generator, resource gathering, housing, doctors, exploration etc. Upgrades are crucial as with time weather gets colder and colder and it's not possible to keep people alive without better infrastructure.
🤖 Companion and enemy AI	People in the town have decent AI. They don't get stuck in objects, find their way to the workplace easily and have simple need system that works well and its not overly complicated. They need to be kept warm and fed. If they are cold (at workplace or home) they will get sick and need to see doctor. If they are unhappy distress will rise, and if it's not lowered then people will take over the power. There is also hope which shows how optimistic people are.

Technicalities:

Graphic - ⭐️⭐⭐ - Nice and detailed, even on low settings
Music - ⭐️⭐☆ - There is not much music, it's mostly ambient sounds of snow, blizzards, working machines etc. There is no voice acting
Bugs - ⭐️⭐⭐ - I didn't encourage any

The good
- story is explained and there are no loose ends

The bad
- game is sub par to previous in the series
- backgrounds are blurry
- animations are of average quality
- whole game feels rushed
- puzzles are really easy
- some graphical issues

Conclusion:
This is end of this trilogy, and it's not a good game. Bare bone puzzles, bad animations and not really interesting ending. Maybe play if you want to know end of the story but surely don't play as only game in this series.

Story:

We crash in the Underworld and need to stop evil power company from destroying the world. There is not much more to it. We learn fate of main protagonists dad and background for power company actions.

---

Gameplay:

💸 Microtranzactions	None	🏆 Achievements	N/A
📊 Performance	No issues	💾 Save system	One automatic save

There is really not much to say about this game, as it's so bare bone, short and simple. Honestly it was waste of 4h to spend on it.

🎮 Controls	Game is controlled with a mouse like all Point&Click games. Only problem is that characters don't really run fast when you double click somewhere and screen skipping by double clicking on the edge is not really fast.
📇 Inventory	Just a menu at the bottom of screen that shows object we hold. It's possible to combine objects but not really to dismantle them to extract specific parts.
🤖 Companion and enemy AI	There are no enemies. And companions just stand in the distance without doing anything.
