    Hue

    Full Full Full Full Blank

    What a lovely game! Hue is a platformer game about a little boy searching for his mother and follows her footsteps, learning how to see in colors. I truly enjoyed it a lot even though I don't like platformers much. Steam told me it was like Schein and I was afraid about many blind jumps which fortunately never happened at all. Instead the puzzles were actually enjoyable, only a very few timing based and never unforgiving or unfair. I really, really liked it's idea.

    The story was a bit flat. At first I thought about some deeper meaning I didn't get and that I'm missing something but after finishing it, it looks like there was a story to make it a story driving platformer which wasn't necessary at all because it would've been also great without it. At least I understood the essence which is quite alright :^) Oh and of course I loved the calm and very atmospheric music!

    Highly recommended.

    Manual Samuel

    Full Full Half Blank Blank

    This game is so bad it's good again. The art style is bad, the jokes are bad the narrator... okay, I loved the narrator. But somehow it was still was fun, probably because the idea itself was kind of funny. You have to do everything manually. Like breathing, taking steps, blinking. Which sometimes got annoying because the controls were kind of sloppy and I stumbled a lot of times or missed QTE in battles. And the beginning was so great! Until the game turns near the end to a very poor action game, unfortunately. But what bothered me the most was that you can't die. I tried. So what's the point in breathing if I can't die anyway? Well, in the end when the action begins and every button has to be pressed precisely I was glad that I can't die and have a millions of tries and I took use of them...

    Manual Samuel would've been hilarious if the story was just about his ordinary day without these action battles and shit. I would've loved to talk to his girlfriend once again while speaking every letter manually and so on.

How did you like the Walking Dead final season’s first episode? What do you think of 1bitHeart?

I loved twd! After the boring last season I already gave up hope for twd but the first episode may be as good as the whole first season. Hopefully the next episodes will keep the awesomeness.
1bitHeart is cute so far and remembers me of Ace Attorney which I love °^°. I’m a bit confused about the whole friend-making-thing but read that I shouldn’t do that anyway until I reach the end for easily get all different endings

I loved Hue. I played it with my kids and they started being able to help with the puzzles, which is nice. A few of the levels were tricky, no? :)

I’m so jealous! I would’ve loved if my parents played video games with me :D It’s great that they could help you with those puzzles, I’m really happy for you. Some of them were tricky, yes. Like the one with those moving tiles where pink and blue (iirc?) pours out of them and the orange box. Took me like forever to get it. But I don’t like games that are too hard and Hue is just perfect with it’s difficulty :3
