What a fun little game. I really loved the caterpillar. A great if rather sad story about life and death. The story is really well told, great voice actors, especially the little girl. And the graphics are also really nice. The riddles are not too hard, so everyone should be able to finish it. I can totally recommend it :)

I would give it a 7.5/10. It's a nice enough story (sometimes a bit predictable) , graphics are good. Game play is good, if you like that sort of game. Your main character uses a staff to fight a bunch of different mechs in close combat and can also use that same staff as a long range weapon by firing projectiles/stun shots with it. As you traverse through the levels your main character parkours through the level, though you cannot fall anywhere since he can only jump at certain point where he will land savely, it is quite fun. Sometimes you have to go help the secondary character, which can be a hassel since you have to throw her to a certain upper level or further away point, which is not clearly indicated and you have to run around a bit and smash buttons for it to work.
You can "customize" your main character by earning/collecting tech globes and giving them to your secondary character for skill upgrades (weapon/fight/shield/health).
In about the last third of the game you meet a third character which will also join your little troupe by the name of Pigsy. He is a small, rotund man who only owns some long range weapons (he's the character for the DLC). He "helps" you until the end of the game.
Then we come to the DLC. The idea is nice. You see some episode of what happened before the main characters arrive. But here we come to the big problem in my opinion. Pigsy is a character for long range weapon use only (with little to no health, two hits insta death) in a world that is made for either stealthily trying to avoid enemies (not really possible with that character and its limitations) or close quarter combat (which he cannot do). Which means you die a lot. Which can get quite annoying really fast, since there is no possibility to save your progress, it gets automatically saved at some checkpoints that are not actually shown beforehand.

So I would suggest, get the game, avoid the DLC.

By the way I played the game with a controller. Not sure how it would play itself with mouse and keyboard.

Another cute point'n'click adventure that I really liked. Same as for Silence I liked the story and graphics a lot. Small tip if you want to 100% it, follow a walkthrough if you just want to play it once, since one of the achievements is that you complete the game in under 1h. If you need to check something just hit pause and the timer will pause.

On the one hand I really liked it. It reminded me of my youth and Motocross Maniacs, that I played endless hours on my gameboy (don't judge me I'm old), it played like it just in colour and with enemies. But then I crashed through a barrier and could not advance any more because I had not cleared the original target and I had to reload the game. This happened several times.
Also on some stages you get insta killed by the bosses or you drop down in some gap and die :-/ And don't get me started on accidentily flipping over and dying, when activating some switch without tapping any button except the ones to activate the flipping switch. Or the god damned ramps and flipping/jumping from one to the other.

Actually this is where I gave up. After several hours of trying to jump from one ramp to the next in one of the last levels I just had it. The special skills you needed to make the jump only worked every once in a while and never when I needed them :(

Nice little game with interesting game physics. Unfortunatley my natural screen resolution is 1980x1080 and for the life of me I could not get the game to run on that resolution. The whole screen was off, even though according to the settings it should work. it was so bad that I could not even start the game since the whole screen was somehow moved and was blocking the button. I had to kill the programm to get out.
Set it to a different resolution and the problem went away.

Didn't finish the game in May (played a bit more in June and am at the last level, but stuck because the physics are totally reversed for the last level).

Game with a really nice atmosphere and really interesting gameplay. The shadow parts are an interesting change from normal game play, but sometimes it gets really annoying, because the riddles are sometimes a bit hard, mostly due to having to figure out how to place stuff correctly, so that you can use the shadows and you can miss some things without a walkthrough if you are going for 100%

Nice addition to the series. First time I ever got stuck on levels. A bit stupid that you can get stuck and the game does not notice it by ending the game.

What changed to the previous ones: Now you have the possibility to get big caches of food and other stuff. And your char needs to water the plants first before you can get any fruits.

It’s official, I still hate QTE and this game is full of it. Had to switch back to the older version because in the newer version a lot of times the QTE commands were not recognized so you failed the tests :(

Overall the gameplay and story was interesting, but the QTE's were really annoying. If you hate QTE like me, it might not be the best game for you.

It's a VN that plays in a lingere shop. You are looking for a new employee since your boss just suddenly quit on you. A lot of girls in lingerie. Not much more to see.

Pretty basic sniper game. Kind of fun, sometimes the controls do not work a hundred procent.

Fun game. Kind of reminded me of Borderlands 2, which I recently played too, but only in the regard that you drive around in a car/buggie and that you shoot stuff. Liked the different weapon choices a lot, though after a while I only used the sniper rifle and the shoutgun.mNot much else to say about it.

VN is okay. Should probably be renamed "100 different ways to die" for all the different ways the protagonist dies in all the bad ends.

Cute little VN. I got hungry reading it. Though I'm not sure what to think about a couple of 9 year olds (demon or not) in love ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A bunch of girls on a star ship, most of them abducted from their previous life with no way back. During the game they decide to get mostly nacked several times.
One of the things I did not particularly likes was that sometime what was said and what was shown were complete oposites. Stuff like people were upset and the picture was of a smiling person.
Overall it was ok.

I really like this one, though I'm not even halfway through. It's a kinetic novel dealing with loss/mental health issues.
This is what makes it quite problematic to follow the storyline in the beginning since the protagonist has hallucinations and jumps between past and present and hallucinations without any delay.
Also it is a game with the longest prologue I've ever seen. Reached the prologues end at around 5 h of constant reading.

I really liked this one. Did not finish it in May, but finished it a few days ago. You can choose to play either as male or female (you have to do both if you want to 100% as far as I know) and you have a lot more choices to make than in a normal VN, for example you can explore the space ship or choose to fly somewhere with it to visit planets, other ships etc.

Okay game. If you like to remember commands and typing them in really fast, got a bit repetitive in the end. Not sure how to describe it.

Not my kind of game. Too many constantly flashing lights in the nightmare scenes for my taste. Could not finish the game.

What can I say about this one… It’s a bit like the movie groundhog day, but a lot of fun. Beaten all stories. Last achievement though is a pain in the ***. You have to learn every possible skill in all levels. Problem: you only get 1 skill point for each level and by the end of the story you are at least 7-10 levels short. Each level needs about 30k exp. The max exp you can get for a level is about 10k if you hit the correct combos and you have to replay the same 5-10min of the game over and over again for several hours. Other than the grinding for the last achievement I really liked the game. Still missing the last achievement. Need another 4 levels, but have not found the time yet.

Great game. Played through it in a day. It's basically a gem matching game, with puzzle and fighter elements. Your char tries to enter the Battle Chef Brigade. In order to do so you have to challenge other chefs to battles. You have to use ingredients that you get by killing monsters and then cooking them up into a dish (that's the gem matching part) that the judges will enjoy better than your opponents.
The game also has a really nice story. I enjoyed it a lot.

Wow. What a game. Nearly 50 hours in and I'm only in chapter 8. Well I kind of get lost in the side missions and mini games. I will definitely play more of it this month.

The only game I completed this month. A good point-and-click adventure with a nice Sci-fi story. It's on the shorter side, but that's not necessarily bad. The puzzles are not too hard and if you get stuck you can get help from your Captain.

Liked it a lot. I played it with a controller and some of the precision shots are nearly impossible to do with controller. I had to use the mouse for this. Other then that I had a lot of fun with it. Some of the QET were also not too easy, but with enough patience I solved all.

Liked it a lot. Never got used to blocking the enemies though. But I am proof that even without good blocking the game can be beaten, it's just a lot harder :D
I also see strong resemblances between the Senator Armstrong and the current US president.

Loved the game. Nearly finished all quests. Am really hard thinking about getting the season pass for it, just so that I can play some more.

Solid puzzle plattformer. Isn't too hard, at least outside of Nightmare mode.
Haven't tried Nightmare mode yet.

Walking-Sim that is only available in Russian with bad English subtitles. After an hour I was so bored I gave up. A lot of running around with not a lot to do.

Not quite finished yet. Will finsih it this month. Really like it so far. A bit like Groundhog Day. Just funnier XD

This Visual Novel is one of the worst games I've ever played. Basically just some text that you have to read and that's it. The story is not really interesting and the visuals are mostly consisting of a few backgrounds where the text is diplayed. If you reach the end all achievements are given at once.

I absolutely not recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game. I played through all the campains. They are all different enough so that it does not get boring. It can take a bit getting used to that you cannot control your heroes, but the concept is really interesting. You have to plant flags and give money to the flags in order to attract the heroes.

This game is full of glitches. Walls where you can walk through, rails that do not hold you, the camera is glitchy too. I fell over the edges so many times, it isn't funny anymore. Maybe I'm just too old to enjoy a game like this. I remember playing Sonic on the Dreamcast when I was a child and I really enjoyed it. Maybe my expectations have just grown and I want more from a game nowadays.

I stopped playing when I reached the end boss and could not finish one round of attacks and always fell down.

Absolutely loved the game. In my opinion it's a mix of a hidden object game and a point and click adventure with a nice story and some nice plot twists. If you like HOG with a bit of story then I recommend this game.

I really liked the game, though keeping your own notebook is greatly advised. Otherwise, you will definitely loose track of some clues.

The game basically consists of walking through the abandoned town of Painscreek and trying to find clues on who killed a woman five years prior. You will find that out by finding keys, newsletter articles and diaries of all the people involved (and there are a lot of people involved, so definitely keep your own notes). Some riddles are easy others are more difficult, but if you get stuck, simply visit the discussion forums on steam. You will get help there.

Some things I didn't really like:

• The music is on an endless loop and to be honest after several hours it is nerve wracking. Some variety would be better.
• You keep an ingame journal (and a camera), but nothing that can keep track of all the different people. Would have been great if something like a character tree would have been implemented or an option to keep your own notes ingame
• Why are packed cartons in every house? If the inhabitants left, why did they not take their stuff with them. I can understand it that you might leave a thing or two, but it looked more like people were evacuated then if they actually simply had left the town.

I'm a bit on the fence about the ending. It was completely different to the rest of the game.

It's a decent platformer, though the camera is glitchy at least on PC. This makes gameplay really hard sometimes. Also the open world concept was not really my cup of tea. There is no real red line to follow and in order to find everything it takes ages. Sometimes the challenges to get the pagies are easy as cake and others are so hard that it took me 30 minutes just for one little pagie and for some I've simply given up. Also the Kartos mine cart challenge in world 4 is crazy and you have to defeat it in order for the boss to appear.
It took me also 6 hours to defeat the final boss. It has 4 stages and if you die you have to start all over again. A savepoint after the third stage would have been really helpful.

I'm a fan of games like this and this one was really great. The game consists of different game modes in eleven stages. A normal mode, where you have to dismantle the queue, a puzzle mode, where you have to dismantle the queues with a certain number of stones, a mode, where the queues grow again and again and you have to dismantle a certain queue at the top, a mode, where suddenly stones appear in the path and the queue changes direction.
All these different modes bring great variety into the game. Also, the special game pieces are very nice.

Interesting game. I wish the controlls were better. The different scenarios are nice, but the clunky controlls are really getting to you and make the game harder than it has to be.

Still like it very much. Hopefully will be finishing it in February, baring any major wins. For more comprehensive review please check our my December Update.

Was an OK Visual Novel. A bit on the short end. Complete playtime to get all achievements was under 4 hours.

Not really fun to play.

OK. I give up. After several tries to get out of the police station, I even watched several walkthrough videos on youtube, but for some reason it did not work like in the videos, I finally get out of there, just to end up in some caves. I can't get out of the caves, since the exit is blocked by a monster, that you can not sneak past (believe me I tried and it will kill you every time). So you have to kill that thing, problem though I don't have any ammo and I checked every spot where ammo should be, but none is to be found.

So after running around for half an hour in a dark cave I give up :(

Game is not really fun to play. Too frustrating in my opinion. Controlls also lack, they are too clunky. If you are not standing in exactly the right angle in front of an object you won't be able to interact. Can make gameplay quite frustrating.

Like these types of games so I was happy with this win. Nice old-style match-3 game.

Like these types of games so I was happy with this win. Nice old-style match-3 game with a twist. Liked the new improved bonus tiles. And also retrieving the building blocks for the wonders by collecting certain tiles is a nice touch. And then building the wonders stone by stone.

Game is a solid Ego-Shooter though I was anoyed by some of the bugs I encountered, like the audio bug, where the audio gets so distored that you cannot hear anything anymore. And I also ran into a bug where in the second to last mission I couldn't trigger the shot from the space station. Had to reload the game to fix it. If you can live with that then the game is ok. Have not tried the multiplayer though.

Liked the game a lot. The story is quiet gripping and you feel with the characters. One thing I could not quiet get into were the quick time events. I never liked them in the past and could not really get behind them for this game.

Another thing that sometimes made me scream at my laptop were the dumb decisions made by the main character, like going out without a weapon in a world full of walkers or taking a small kid with him into an unknown location that could be teeming with walkers. That's just stupid and after several months living in this reality they should not make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. It reminded me a bit of the stupid blond chick in horror movies. But as I said overall I really liked the story. It felt like being immersed in the universe.

Some short 5 chapters, each too short to really get into the story. I think it would have been better to just follow 1 instead of 5 stories and flesh this one out. It felt kind of like someone threw just some unfinished storyboards into the ring as a DLC. I would definitly not buy this for full prize. Otherwise it's a nice addition to a great game

Second installment of the 12 Labours of Hercules series. Gameplay is switched up a bit in comparison to the first one. Some new things like the thief who will steal your resources if you do not collect them fast enough. Or the “monsters”, e.g. Hera who will scare your workers. As promised I finished it. Another new thing are the puzzles, though I'm not sure what that is about since I never found all the puzzle pieces of one level.

I actually like to play hidden object games from time to time, but this one was not really fun. The description of the objects to search were not really good, too ambigous most of the time, meaning that you can not find anything that you do not know what to look for. Also it was a lot of running around and it was not always clear where to go next, so it was a lot of running though the house and trying to find the next hidden object game.

This game reminds me a lot of the old NES games I played in my youth. It is just as hard as some of them. It's a nice platformer though I strongly recommend using a gamepad for playing.
