This is simply art. Stunning in all of its aspects.

Beautiful visuals and captivating soundtrack will fill your soul with a lot of emotions, be it sadness, anger, fear or happiness. Instead of words the game uses metaphors and assimilations for its storytelling and it's sufficient. Words would maybe prove as a disturbing element, like this you have to concentrate on the changes in the music, color, your movement… like this you can immerse yourself in the game.

Gameplay wise it reminded me little of Degrees of Separation, you gain new abilities in each of the worlds which are then used to overcome the obstacles. Puzzles are nice, some of them a little challenging. Although the game is linear the world itself is filled with many interactive elements which nicely complement the whole atmosphere. I just love everything about Gris. Can't recommend it enough.

Little Koa is growing up on a small island in the middle of Mara. She is alone now, tending to her island but dreaming about exploring the whole world and becoming a pirate one day! When she finds a strange little creature on the beach her days of loneliness are over. With her new friend, Napopo, she set sails to the vast Mara seas. Koa will then meet different kinds of people with their own dreams, problems or old pains and although she is only a kid, she will do everything in her power to help them.

Summer in Mara is a farming simulator game where you have your own island to take care of. As you progress in the story you will be able to build various structures on it - for example decorations or animal enclosures; cultivate many kinds of vegetables and fruits or plant new species of trees or shrubs. There is a lot you can do in Mara - you can harvest crops, create new items for sale or for manufacturing, go fishing or diving, pick up trash, cook various dishes or you can pat animals. :) I have very much enjoyed developing my island, it's nice to see it grow (not in terms of size).
Exploration is another important part of the game, you can find a lot of new things on your travels (people really throw interesting stuff to the ocean). Also it's a great boost to your income as you can harvest wild crops and then sell it for profit without additional spend.

Story is simple but really nice. It's about growing up, going after your own dreams and trying to be a good person, doing the right things and helping others around you too. Most of the characters are nicely written, although there could have been more varied interaction with them (especially after completing their quests). Quests are of “fetching type” when you do deliveries for them or they send you somewhere. I don’t really mind, as the idea of the game is about Koa helping others… and I usually pick quests and do something different and after I feel like it I deliver it, but I can understand why some of the players are bored by it. Not me though.

I like the graphics, so colorful and cheerful (with a few exceptions) even though there are some shortcomings (rainy day without a rain or so). Soundtrack is very good, characters have their own themes and I visited some of them regularly just to listen to it (like Aquila, Edogan, Fink). I have also liked changing outfits of little Koa, would love to have some of the backpacks! :)

I have truly enjoyed my time in Mara. Yeah, it has some rough edges and you can stump on some bugs (not working achievements were deleted some time ago). Ending was rather rushed and the main villain didn't get proper space, you know the anticipation for meeting up with him is building up and then it's over… truth is I was a little disappointed. City life doesn't change with day cycles (except for important characters), there are still the same people, they stand in the same spots, only animals are moving around… this could have been done in a better way. Also not all of the kickstarter stretch goals were added yet (taking photos, windsurfing, animal breeding…). After getting all you can for your island, completing your fetch quests, there is nothing to do… of course you can still tend to your island, it's very relaxing, but you were already doing it for some time… I think that there is a great potential to still develop the game, add new crops, new animals for your island, new buildings and so on. If not officially then through the mods. For now it seems like the developers are concentrating on different goals in their career, but well, who knows. I still very much recommend this game, it was a very pleasant experience.

Oh, and as you will explore the Mara you can find little crabs with messages from the backers. They are filled with love, hope, happiness… that also add a nice feeling to the game.

This is super amazing chibi game! :D

Old evil is once more threatening the peace of the whole world. Ancient legends speak about a hero rising up from common folk to fight against it. Can all of it be true? Well, only one way to know for sure. Take a hold of your sword, choose your path and begin your adventure!

So, as the name suggests you are playing as a Chibi knight, which is pretty adorable to be honest. You are a cute little ball wrapped up in an armor! As you level up, your armor and sword change their appearance. You can even lock your outfit to your liking - you will level up normally, but won't change the look which is neat but I have enjoyed my progress.
Gameplay wise it's a hack and slash with platformer sequences, I would say. You have basic and special attacks, you can also learn some skills like dash, double jump… Little twist comes with a special attack - when you are Beastmaster you can command beasts, when you become Sorcerer you can select from four spells. Your route is decided after the Prolouge. Game warns you about progressing forward, that you won't be able to come back. So it's best to complete all of the quests in your home village before moving out.
The game is short, it has great pace and you will hardly get stuck. This is great actually as you can't get all of the achievements in one playthrough. Some of them are rather hard (without dying, without some skills…), should the game be longer it would get really frustrating, like this it was great fun! Two routes also offer nice replayability, with different characters, quests, enemies in the middle part of the game. Truth is that the end part is the same but different skills offer different kinds of experience. Some of the fights can be challenging, for a boss fight you have to come up with tactics not just rush them over. Luckily there is no penalty for dying so you can try as many times as you need (except when aiming for the one particular achievement).

The graphics are very cute and the music is good, fitting the game very well. The game was apparently made by father & daughter duo (she even voiced Chibi Knight) and it has a great feeling. It's filled with jokes and references on popular culture, we had some good laughs. If you will take for what it is - cute short funny game, filled with action, you will for sure enjoy it. "Boo ya!"

I love this game!

This is a compilation of three standalone games, as I understand it there were made some changes so it's not completely same as shown in The Final Cut. I have not played these before so I can't really compare with them, but I would say that the third part was a bit lacking. Second part is filled with action, you can't stop for a moment as there is always what to do. And after that it gets somewhat… dry. Overall experience was superb though. ;)

The gameplay is addictive, fast paced and overall super fun. You have many options to set the game to your liking with many skills, perks, gear and even many levels of difficulty settings. Locations are nicely varied and really big. Also there is a lot of hidden stuff to be found, secrets to uncover. The ever present little references to dozens other games and movies make you chuckle every now and then. And there is really a lot of them!!

The mysterious, sometimes creepy atmosphere is greatly built up by perfectly fitting dubbing and a very nice soundtrack. Characters are very likable and the main duo, Lady Katarina and Van Helsing, are just awesome in their interaction, they have great chemistry between them!

We are now playing it in co-op on higher difficulty and it's still the same great fun as before, maybe even better. ;)

This is free otome visual novel which can put many other paid games into its pocket. I was rather surprised by its quality… in art, writing, music… I have truly enjoyed my time with it. After completing the game, we have decided to buy the artbook to show our support to the developers because they made really great work. Also sequel came out recently, which we will grab for sure. ;)

Our known and favorite fairytales are turned into wicked curses that are cast upon those who need to change. Our main heroine, an "Ice Princess", is one of the cursed. In one moment her world turns upside down and she finds herself on the streets in ragged clothes, no one remembering her being the princess. If she wants to go back to the palace, she needs to perform three good deeds. With no inkling how to do that she has to co-operate with others, maybe helping them to break the curse will also help her. First reluctant in the work, she begins to change, her heart melting.

There are five love interests to pursue, one being the true route. None of them is a weak point as all of the guys are interesting and enjoyable (which is rather surprising as usually only two or three are interesting enough for me). I have even liked our main heroine (I usually hate them) and I can understand some of her worries, motives. Story is captivating, pushing you forward, it's really nicely written. There are no typos or mistakes that would break the immersion (at least not that I spotted any).

I have only two rebukes. In one of the routes I would change the good ending, because it wasn't right how they solved it. ;) Other is that one of the support characters didn't get his own route (as was planned), I would love to know more about him.

Awesome game! I haven't played the original so I can't compare them, but I have enjoyed this one so much! It's made by Arkane studios and you can recognize their work pretty well. I love Dishonored and you can feel its touch in Prey. In the way you move, use your abilities, in the fight… this nostalgic feeling was great and enjoyable for me.

Not sure what all I can tell to not spoil much from the plot as I didn't know anything before playing, which was a rather good thing for me. Story is very good, although you can predict some of the development, it's immersive and the outcome still surprised me. I have enjoyed the possibilities you have to resolve any kind of situation. There is never only one right solution or a way you have to take, it all just depends on your skills and the power of your imagination.

Atmosphere of the game is perfect, beautiful graphics and captivating soundtrack do their parts in it. Gameplay is smooth, quick and there is always something going on. It crashed on me twice, I think, but on its defense I was then playing all day in one session… so he was just tired. ;) There was a little problem with graphics settings, which is a common problem apparently (highest resolution resulted in lowest in game) and I have solved it in a moment. Can only recommend it.

This was a pretty good game. I didn't expect anything, I just really liked the pixel graphic design as it reminded me a little of Count Lucanor… I didn't even know what kind of game it's going to be exactly, but I loved it!

It starts simply. You are pulled from your grave to stop the Fog from spreading. To achieve that you have to defeat the one who beckoned it. The path won't be as simple though. You need to navigate a large mansion and its grounds filled with twisted servants to find Beckoners Knights, who hold the keys to him. Among the enemies you can meet NPCs who will shed a bit of a light on the situation and events that lead to the spreading of the Fog. But beware as every step brings you closer towards insanity and you can see the world twisting. Can you fulfill your quest and overcome these horrors?

So, the graphic is perfect. Twisted (this word really suits this game), bloody, gory… the deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the nastier it gets. Pretty. <3 Soundtrack is setting a great feeling to the spreading insanity. Story is very interesting, to fully comprehend it you have to search every crook to find more and more of the lore (there are a lot of things to click at). The game is full of Lovecraftian symbols, hints and it creates a pretty creepy atmosphere! Although there is not a lot of space for some deep character development I find them nicely written, they are interesting, enjoyable and likeable (even hate-able - good thing)! Luckily it has sequels so here I hope for some new information on my favorite ones. ;)

Controls are… well strange and it took me some time to grow accustomed to them, but after that it was fine. Fight is challenging, very much. Just getting through the tutorial level cost me more than 5 deaths. But even though you will often die, it's not frustrating… well, for me at least. I haven't rage quit as with some other similar games (if we consider the fact that some are describing it as "Souls-like" then it's a miracle as I have quit the Dark Souls after, eh, 6 hours). In total there are four different endings, you also have New game+ which gets the difficult level in crazy highs and it's a little slap on your face as you get better and really strong and then you start anew and again you die in a tutorial. XD There are also two challenge levels after you beat the game, insanely hard. I have done it after getting the four endings and playing through it two more times.

I have enjoyed Skautfold very much and can't wait to start the next game! There is only one thing I didn't like and although I maybe understand why it wasn't available (as it has a continuous purpose), I still think it should have been an option. SPOILER I want to kill that jerk Waltham so much! The inability to do so made me rather disappointed. If you like pixel graphics, horror settings and novels from H.P.Lovecraft, I can only recommend it to you!

Your daughter run away from home. Again. You, her father, are following her trails. Firmly decided that you will find and take her back home. With the help of modern technology you know where she is hiding. As you step in the old Moravian forest you begin to doubt your sanity. Memories resurfaces, dreams turns into nightmares and the reality you thought you knew turns upside down.

Someday You'll return is an interesting game, it managed to confuse me a little as I have felt few contradicting emotions towards it. I think that it's a game that was made with a lot of passion, you can feel it. The graphic is beautiful and the soundtrack has some very nice Czech folk songs. The few problems that you can possibly experience don't prevent you from enjoying it to the end. You can notice that it's a combination of different genres - a walking simulator, an action adventure, horror with survival and stealth elements… some of those elements are done better than the others.

So, you are searching for your daughter in this large Czech forest. You will be mostly wandering around all alone, although you will meet some people there, for better or for worse. Exploring the forest is very relaxing. I love forest, autumn forest, its colors and sounds. The design is very beautiful, it's a joy to just stand there and look at the scenery. The forest as it is, is not real, but the individual places are. Through QR codes you can find and learn more about them.
As you explore you will find interactive items. For this you have your inventory with crafty tools. I think this was done nicely. You can inspect the items from every side and then work with them further. There could have been more items you'd need to use it for though. Another part of your inventory belongs to the Herbalist section where you will make potions. With the help of your herbal book you have to collect herbs and prepare them accordingly. There are usually enough herbs for you to gather (they replenish over time too), but you have limited space for them, so it's best to make a reserve of them or your potions as you can't be sure when you will need one.
Horror part shows itself in the beginning after dusk, later in the game you won't be safe even during the day. In these stealth (or runaway) missions you will meet dangerous beings. You can't fight them, you have to outsmart them and get by. These sections are not really hard, although it can take you some time to realize what you are supposed to do exactly. Death isn't any problem, you wouldn't lose anything and there are a lot of autosave spots. Also I can't say that I was afraid exactly, there were moments of uneasiness, discomfort or stress (when I was being hunted by the enemy for example), but I was pretty calm overall. This part can be for some players a bit lacking.

Whole forest is filled with a lot of collectable items and it's a challenge to find them all, even more as one of the items you have to collect in one gameplay. Also you need to be vigilant as there are sections you can skip or completely miss. In the last big update chapter saves were added so you can go back to find the missing thing, but as I said, this won't work for that particular item. I have enjoyed looking for those little collectibles, although it's pretty hard to keep track of where you have already been in the forest and where you need to go next. In addition to that there are few moments when you need your logical thinking, for example when you need to crack a cipher!

Story is told through pages of your daughter's diary, your memories and occasional visions. Later you are not sure what is reality and what is just your imagination, so it can be somewhat confusing from time to time. It's unfolding slowly and it's not like what it seemed to be at the beginning. Some say that the story is predictable… I wouldn't describe it like that. There are parts in the story that are clear without any doubts, but other aspects of the story are developing throughout the game… the biggest role in this have Daniel, you. He is the most unsympathetic obnoxious main hero I have probably ever seen. I wanted to kick him most of the time. But as the story developed, I have changed my opinion towards him and the events that shaped his relationships within his family. Don't get me wrong, he is still an unbelievable jerk… but I felt sympathy for him in the end.

I don't want to spoil much and it's probably better if you won't find anything to the story beforehand. Maybe you will see through it right from the beginning or you will slowly uncover the secrets step by step, but I still think it's worth a try. The game is made with love and none of the shortages prevents you from enjoying it. The end moved me.

As you can see, I have two different scores for it. On one hand, it's a great game and we had a lot of fun with it. The premise is great and it reminded me of Groundhog Day for example. On the other hand, it's a terribly optimized game that kept crashing on us and it could have offered more actual replayability.

Reynardo, fox ex-pirate, gets tangled up in events that are bigger than him and the future of his homeworld depends on his fighting skills, brave soul and witty mind. The Emperor has gone mad and everyone trembles in fear as his soldiers hunt for his next sacrifice to the Old gods. The rebellion needs help in order to stop him, so Reynardo becomes an involuntary hero. How many tries will he need to save the world?

The story is told through pages of a mysterious book, which lets you choose your path and after your failure, to start over again. This time, with the information you have learned before and it's really fun to see how the story develops differently. As you know more and more you'd definitely find the right solution. In total there are 24 stories you can open. Once you find truth about all of the four elements, you can open the true ending. After that, if you want to see it all and open all achievements, you have to play the remaining stories. This proved to be a little tedious as you already know everything and you are only awarded with a different ending - not that they are not nice and funny though! It just lacks any motivation to keep going as you have gathered all orbs, maxed your swords… there is nothing new to open.

Reynardo is a great fighter and in the end he has four hero swords which you can freely use. They have different abilities and they open secret paths. With them you can take a slightly different route or find secret stash. Enemies are not much varied, but fights with them are fast-paced and fun. You can grab them and throw them away or use them as a shield, you can build up your combo and activate some special abilities. Better combo means more experiences.

The graphics are very pretty, so nicely colorful. Soundtrack is also perfect, and compels the story very well. But the best on it is the narrator. He had extremely hard work to do and he nailed it. See, the narrator voices all of the characters and for each of them he changes the voice accordingly! As we are in a magical world there are frogs, cats, rabbits, mysterious stones… he brings it all to life with his voice. Perfect work.
Also the narrator comments on the random things that Reynardo does, so it's fun to try out what will trigger another comment. :)

The crashing. Apparently it has some kind of problem with itself. Every time we have started it, it would crash, after that it would play normally if we were lucky… and as there are few checkpoints you have to do the level from the beginning… it's not a real problem as they are not that long, but it can become boring if you see it five times in a row. Best for the end, two stories before completion it crashed to the blue screen of death and we had to fall back to the point of reversal. So yeah, that wasn't nice.

Overall, if you forget the technical issues, it's a great funny game. It could have offered more of the hidden content or more things to collect from the treasures, but it's still very much enjoyable. If you don't play it all in one session you won't get fed up with it, because the stories are certainly worth it. If you decide to try it, beware of the crashes, but you might be lucky and skip on them. ;)

I just love Supergiant games! <3 Their games are so different, strange, lovely, emotional.
Red, a young popular singer in Cloubank, gets attacked by a shadow group named Camerata. But things don’t go as planned and as a result Red gets a hold of a peculiar device called Transistor. With it in her hands she travels through the city to find the answer on what is happening and why exactly.
Storytelling is done in a peculiar way and you are not told much, just hints about that or that, but you are still captivated and you just have to push on. Characters, even though there are just few of them and there is not said much about them, are just perfect. Voice acting is exceptional!!! <3 Beautiful graphic and totally amazing soundtrack creates an awesome game in all aspects! Combat is great fun and can be pretty challenging, especially if you set yourself some limiters or try your luck in special challenges. Also there are countless possibilities to create your best skill combo so fights never get old. Can only recommend, we have played through it four times in total. ;)

Cooking saga continues!
We have enjoyed the first game and have to say that this one is a very good successor, maybe even better in some aspects. Some things are new, some are changed for better and some stay untached. Sooooo, one of the best things is that you can make your own restaurant as you level up and get new furniture, decorations, lights and so on. This adds a great touch to the game as you get even more attached to your restaurant, also it’s really awesome to see your patrons sitting at tables waiting for their order. :D
Your cooking space changed a little and now you have a prep station where you can (or have to) prepare food in advance and then serve it right away, this adds other possibilities to your cooking. There are many recipes and they just look so delicious!!! We got rather hungry preparing all the dishes. XD Few of the hard recipes got simplified which is great, but many new very hard recipes got added which isn’t that great! XD
Next great aspect is that besides cooking in your own restaurant you can help in the others, each of them have a specific menu. It’s a great way to practice, level up and get more nice stuff for your restaurant.
What was changed is how co-op works. Now everyone is taking care of their own meal, you pick it up you have to also prepare it. Truth is that in the most hectic moments you mostly don’t talk to each other as you concentrate on the work, but it’s still great fun! After playing a little it growed at us quickly despite initial concerns!
It’s a great game, funny, cute and also challenging. Can only recommend! :)

So, I am little bit torn apart about this game. When I first heard about it, all I knew was that some girl succumbs herself into hell in search for her dead loved one. All of it shrouded in Northern mythology, filled with Viking warriors and that sold it for me. After some time later I have learned that our main heroine is also struggling with psychosis. And in this point I feel a little bit of wasted potential.

Whole game is visually absolutely stunning, especially Senua's emotions are clearly visible on her face. Next thing I would say is that the game is a combination of hack and slash, walking simulator and puzzle solving. It works well together and puzzles offer good diversion from the fights, although be the game longer it could get too repetitive as there aren't enough variations. Fights are from the simpler ground (don't take this as an insult, just a statement that there isn't countless combos you can perform), but can get challenging if you get overrun by enemies or you are playing on auto difficulty (after completing the game I have learned that I have played on the hardest setting as it adapts to your performance, sometimes it was truly a hell). All in all you have light strike, heavy strike, block / counter, kick (took me some time till I figured this one) and evade and that's all you need. I have enjoyed the fights, even the very hated locked view and the inability to see behind you (yes it can be frustrating). The best part of the fights are the moves of Senua and her enemies. The motion capture is truly brilliant and it's a joy to see how their abilities and moves change according to their wounds! Also the music during fights was pretty good and created an intense atmosphere, as the whole soundtrack after all.

Through the game you can collect runes with myth stories, when you collect them all you will see additional cutscenes before the end. If you miss some, you have to play it whole again as you can't go back or load a chapter save. That happened to me and sadly the second run is completely the same, nothing new added.

Now to the point. So Senua is living with psychosis. She sees things, hears voices. You are just a passive watcher of her struggle. And here comes my disappointment. You know, I think that what happened to Senua (death of her loved one in a peculiar way and so) would push anyone to insanity. Voices of self loathing, full of an accusation, hatred or overall confusion rather correspond with the situation. But she is living with it all her life, inherited it by her late mother, as this is shown to us by few visions. Too few. For me it doesn't build enough connection with her, most of the time I was rather indifferent. But let's say that they actually allowed us to be one of her voices, to influence her for the worse or for the better. That would add another level of immersion. I understand that you can't actually win over the disease, that it's a never ending fight, but there are things that can make it better… or worse. I know that the game would offer only an illusion of choice and influence and the ending would be basically the same, but it would be much better to live through her past, to push her towards the light or to pull her deeper into the darkness…

Another point that slightly disturbs the immersion is the Hela mark. When you make it to the hell gates you are marked and told that when you die, the mark will spread and once it gets to your head your journey will be over. That got me really hooked up and nervous when the fight turned for the worse. So I did my best to not die, to keep my mark at bay. Sadly the mark is growing on it's own. I understand that for some plot twists it was important to have a particular level of the mark, but I still felt it as betrayal you are actually safe, you can die as many times as you want, even on the hardest difficulty, I would say it’s a wasted opportunity.

All in all, I think it's a good game that has some flaws, but it's still enjoyable. Also I am curious about the second game.

The world is on a brink of destruction. Prometheus, once a leader of humanity, is dead and Titans fight each other in order to rule the world. For a hundred years is this war going on, leaving the world and its inhabitants in a miserable state. And now, when only four Titans are left, Furies enter the show! Four girls (Triss, Alex, Meg and Erin) with different skills, traits and personalities decide on saving the world and for that they have to challenge the Immortals. But as they progress in their quest, they become uncertain about the outcome as their beliefs and knowledge get questioned by the Gods. Can they save the world? Is there any future left to fight for?
Grab your friends and see for yourself in this great co-op adventure!

This game is perfect, if I haven't said that yet! :D Although you can play it alone, you would be robbing all the fun from yourself. We have played just two (our main duo was Meg the Sniper and Erine the Engineer) and it was a great experience, I can imagine that playing with three other good friends must be top notch fun. ;)

So, you have four characters, each have different classes and that also means different weapons, armors and skills. They level up as you use them, giving bonuses to your health, damage etc. The bonuses you have opened with one character apply to the others, so when you switch your high class character for undeveloped one, you will not lose those sweet bonuses! It's certainly a good idea to level up all of them, because some of the fights can get pretty intense and different sets of skills can save the day (if you are playing alone or in duo of course). As I said, each skill is different, but they are designed to cooperate together. Like this you can create nice combos, one of you throws enemies into the air and the other one strikes them for an air crit damage. Of course you can create situations when you are a nuisance to your co-player too, when one throws in a turret with some attack radius and you on the other hand throw every enemy away from the radius leaving the turret without any work to do. XD
As your skills and gear develops I recommend switching them in order to gain the highest level. Truth is, some of them were really hard to master, but it's worth it. For difficult fight or those against bosses we would usually switch out gear to the best ones, with high damage and easy control.

There is a big cast of enemies and the fight changes a lot as new ones are introduced. Of course that later in the game they repeat themselves, but the fights are rather challenging and there are even traps, mines and other twists that keep the encounters very enjoyable. Levels differ from each other and you have to adapt quickly. Good thing is that your attacks can't hurt each other (there is one exception when you can hurt yourself), so you are safe and you can shoot all around you. Added twist in fights are color barriers which are the same as yours and that means that only the one with the right color can hurt it and put the barrier down, co-operation is crucial to not let the other be overrun with enemies. If one of you "dies" the other one can perform revive (the downed player can still move around, so he can get closer for the help!), if the fight is too hot it's good to wait till the one down gets on 99% as you can die quickly when trying to revive as all of the enemies hunt you down now.

To stop the war, Furies need to defeat the four remaining Titans. Each one of them is hiding in a different part of the world. Only the leader (the one hosting the game) can move on the map and select the levels. The road is quite linear as it's the quest for saving the world. But don't be so quick running through the levels and map, there are secrets to be learned, treasures to uncover. And this hunt for secrets is truly challenging and big fun! Because in FMF you are not bound only to the in game, you have to step out and take a broader look on the riddles to find the solutions. It can be hard, but it's fun trying to solve it yourself so don't give up easily. ;)

Story with a little touch of various mythologies is absolutely awesome! The characters are interesting and nicely written, their interaction offers great fun (especially evening calls XD). Whole story has a great pace and offers some great twists and surprises.
Furies also have their camp where you can rest, change your gear, buy new things, try your skills, form a music band and pat (or shoot) a cat! :D
The pixel graphic suits the game very well, each world has unique design and each character has a nice variation of movements and poses. Another great part of the game, if not superb, is the soundtrack! It's really really great, very catchy and enjoyable.

I have only one thing that bothered us. As I was talking about the mines, they have an area effect which you can see so you have to stay clear of it when it detonates. When you are on either side it's fine, but when you are standing above them, even if not in the area, you get hurt by the detonation… not sure if it was intended, but it was rather frustrating when you got cornered by enemies above those traps...

This is probably the best LEGO game! We had so much fun! :D

Story is following that of a book by J.R.R. Tolkien and respectively that of movies by Peter Jackson. There are almost exactly the same scenes from the movies touched with a LEGO silliness and humor and it's a great fun to take part in them! The biggest positive point is probably the official music by Howard Shore and actual movie dialogs used in the game! It adds great feeling to the game. <3
Sadly the game ends abruptly after the second movie, after Smaug flies toward Lake-town. So, one my part is sad that we couldn't have continued on our journey and see the big finale, on the other hand my second part is also glad that we don't have to watch the upcoming tragedy! o.O

The cast of characters is vast and you can pick the most iconic characters (Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, Bilbo, Thorin…) or just some little goblin to play with. World is really huge and there are a lot of things to do - caves to explore, challenges to beat! Story missions are great and when replaying for collecting stuff you can select from multiple checkpoints, you can even see what you missed there before. ;)

Except for collecting studs, you can now collect resources like crystals, food, wood, rocks and then create things from it. The building mini-game is very nicely done, although it's pretty challenging to complete it without any mistake, although the better you do the more studs you get! You also collect Mithril bricks, from them you create special shiny gear in forging mini-game, they give you ultimate skills or silly powers, like when you see everyone as skeletons. There is a lot of gear to choose from and some of them offer great silly, funny skills or just random things like singing shield which sing all the time. Really, until you live it you can't understand the silliness. XD We laughed so much combining the gear and doing silly things. :D

There is no flying sadly just riding, I really wanted to fly with Smaug. X) During our gameplay we encountered one bug, which proved to be a little annoying, but we were able to solve it in the end. It also crashed on us two or three times. Sometimes the camera angle was stupid, but mostly for me as I was playing on keyboard, my soulmate on controller didn’t have any problems with it.. And again, Red brick settings don't save so each time you play you have to set them anew.

Even all those little negative points don't bring the game down. It's a great funny game, especially in co-op. If the new LEGO Star Wars game will be like that, it would be super duper! :D

Time management game from the creators of Heart’s medicine. It has similar functions and principles, this time concentrated on restaurants and food preparations. Also it has a surprisingly mature story for such a funny little game (not as heavy as Heart though), but still has plot twists the one wouldn't expect. ;)

I really enjoyed both the music (theme song is truly catchy) and graphic design. I didn’t have any problem with the game. Although I had some hard time entertaining the tables as I am still not sure how exactly it was supposed to work. Also one of the achievements was a little bit too grindy (opening all of the items), you have to level up them and to do that you need to serve that item… but if nobody wants it, that can be a problem. ;)

In the end you open one main recipe with its ingredients and description from each restaurant, that’s nice, will try some for sure. :)

I love this game! I have played it a long time ago and it's still very cute and enjoyable even after all the years.
Story of little robot Josef is told without words, just with bubbles with simple pictures or animations, but it's still filled with so many emotions! You will understand the story perfectly from it no worries. Hand-drawn graphic is very cute and suits the story nicely, one have to admire all the little details you can see on the screen. Soundtrack is also very good and catchy.
Wicked and devious robots from the Black Cap Brotherhood are terrorizing the city and its citizens. They have also kidnapped your girlfriend Berta and she is now their maid! To save her you have to find your way back into the city and help every unfortunate robot that crossed its way with the Brotherhood infamous members. And there are quite a lot of them!

Machinarium is filled with logical puzzles and mini games, some of them are easy some of them requires a little bit of out of the box thinking, but none should give you serious trouble. Everything you do have some meaning and all you need is usually very close to you.

This is logical puzzle game with very interesting concept. You are moving on predefined grid, as are you enemies or traps. You have to choose the right path and timing to solve the quest. Game is splitted into different worlds, each offer new kind of traps, enemies and obstacles, each level has also increasing difficulty. Some were truly very hard and I have spent a lot of time upon solving them successfully. Your progress is always saved upon entering the room, no penalty for failing - practice makes perfect and best approach is to simply try your idea in motion.

I have enjoyed the variety of all things in the game, although as I said, it proved to be challenging to combine all of the aspects to work properly. There are also hidden artifacts and vases you can collect to open different outfits, which was nice! If you have missed come, you can go back from the selection menu, you can also see in which level exactly you are missing it, so no need to replay whole world. ;)

I love the look of the game! The graphic is much appealing to me. And the concept is so clever and funny, that I have to grab Hitman Go soon! :) If you like logical puzzle game with mind twists I can only recommend!

This was fun!
We are playing as a badass detective Ronan O’Connor who is investigating (like the rest of the police department) series of mysterious murders, which are highly resembling the infamous Witch hunts that happened in Salem Town hundred years ago. Everything would go smoothly if we wouldn’t be murdered in the first 50 seconds as Ronan is a wild guy and has nothing to lose! :D But with our death just begins the right fun. ;)

So before Ronan leaves over the shining bridge to his death wife, he has to find the truth behind this “Bell Killer” and do everything he can to stop him. He wouldn’t be alone on this case as he joins his powers with young medium girl Joy who is searching for her lost mother… everything is intertwined.
Your hunt after the killer will take you through whole city and its important places. The world of the living and dead are connected, you can see the past and sometimes have to take detour as the route is closed. You can meet troubled souls who are lost and offer them help, that was nice touch as Ronan remains detective even after death. ;) Also if you search the city for notes, pictures, photos etc. you can learn a lot of about history of the city, Ronan, his wife and many others, oh don’t forget collecting scary stories! And they were rather scary. ;)
As a ghost Ronan gains new powers. He can go everywhere he wants… well, in case of houses only when doors are open, it doesn’t mean that he can go through every wall he see - I really liked this aspect, he must be invited. ;) He can possess humans (and cats!!!), read their minds and influence them in some cases. Teleporting is another skill he masters as well as dispersing himself into souls remains that you will see through the city. They are important part of the game as demons will try to catch Ronan and pull him into hell!

We can divide the game into two parts. Detective work when you search for clues, then you analyze them and connect them accordingly. Have to say that Ronan was a little bit slow sometimes. XD Other part is stealth action, when you need to hide before the demons. I have noticed that many gamers have spoken ill about this, so I was rather cautious, but I really like these kind of games and have to say that it was easy peasy! :D It was great, I have enjoyed it very much! So to say, you have demons who have floating pattern, which is very short. You can also see them through walls. You have to hide in the souls remains (you can safely teleport between them) and then pass by them or you can exorcise them, which is definitely better as they won’t disturb you any longer. You can do that when you sneak upon them or you wait for them to pass by you when you are dispersed. All it took was just a moment of patience to learn the field and then quickly act. I had to redo only one situation as he was situated in a bad place. I have really liked it and would even wanted more, as I was still waiting for some demons in the city as you have there the hiding soul remains, but nothing… I think that was a little wasted potential.

All and all, I have enjoyed it soooooo much! Story was interesting and gripping, characters likeable. I want some another dead detective! :D

This is very nice puzzle game which is best played with friend! The graphic is beautiful as soundtrack (I would love getting it). Story follows Ember and Rime, separated by their different elements, but searching for a way to be together. Narration is done pleasantly and we always stopped to perceive it fully, few times some words were missing or the line wasn’t voiced, but it didn’t disturbed us much.

Gameplay is brilliant. At first I couldn’t have imagined how it will work properly, but it’s so clever! Main aspect of the game is the separation and influence of their elements of the world. It’s very nice to watch how the world changes with the Ember’s heat or with Rime’s cold… one could spent all time with sightseeing. Through the game you have to collect scarfs, which will open another worlds to explore. In those you separation is changed. Once you get forcefully pushed away if you just slightly touch, other time you can cloak yourself so the other element rules whole world, other time your area of influence got shrunk down or you would make solid bridge between you, and it’s up to you to use these situation to your gain. Some of the puzzles were simple and straightforward, others were hard and required a lot of attempts. But they all were very clever and nicely done! Another nice aspect is, that you can see how many scarfs you have in the world and you mark your way, so if you need to return you can quickly go back.

In this walking simulator you are following young blind girl Rae in search for her lost kitten Nani. On the way she steps out of her comfortable bubble and has to face new unfamiliar things.
Rae wasn't blind from the birth, so she has some kind of imagination of things surrounding her, but her thoughts can be sometimes misleading, so explore the world to the fullest. I loved how the world is slowly uncovering right before you, sometimes you stumble across rocks, pots or you bump right into tree. Hardest part was when the rain starts falling and your view of world is washed down, that was something for my orientation sense. Must be… hard if you can't see.
The graphic is beautiful, reminds me of aquarelle. There is only ambient music, usually when something important is happening, other then that there is sound of your surroundings - water, birds, nature and so.
Pace of this game is slow, so better to not play it whole in one go or you can get fed up with it easily. If you play it just by little bits you will be charmed by its calmness. Story is simple, right, but can you resist searching for cute lost kitten? Never. :)

I would just wish for different ending, okay, have to go and cuddle my two little devils.

Oh this was fun! :D

The Imperial Forge world is in dire need of saving as it suffers from enormous Ork horde invasion, but Captain Titus and his (two) comrades from Ultramarines are there to save the day! :D
Whole game has great pace and you are always in motion, so I have managed to beat it really quickly. It's pretty linear, you are following one route, but that's fine, you can't waste your time with unnecessary city sightseeing… you know, there is almost none city right now. X) Action is pretty good and can get tense quickly! You have nice weapon selection for your fight, 3 for melee combat (Sword, Axe and Hammer) and … eh, I forgot how many ranged weapons, but they are nicely varied. ;)
I enjoyed changing my weapons as they have different finishing blows, that was fun. :D Also, in some areas you are equipped with jumping suite and this is where the real fun begins! These parts I have enjoyed most, because as you are high in air for a moment then you strike with heavy force down on your enemies! Ha, that felt good. :D Shame that you can't have it on whole game, but that would be too easy. ;)
Story is good, straightforward, with some twists, but those can't surprise fan of Warhammer world too much. ;)

The ending just calls for another story with our dear Captain, but it seems like there won't be any, sadly. Still, it was great fun, can only recommend!
