I received Hard West for free a few years ago during a GOG promotion, and it remains one of the most fun, challenging and satisfying games I've ever played. Hard West's controls and mechanics are intuitive, allowing one to focus on Hard West's cleverly interwoven backstory, whose damaged, twisted characters realize their pitch-black fates in a delicious euphemism for the many unexorcised demons of America's 'Old West' era. Bravo.
Primordia was a hollow, dreary game, unworthy of its developer, GadjetEye. Boring gameplay, tired plot and weak characters result in a stale adventure that's simply NO FUN. Don't waste your time on this one, adventure fans.
One of the most interesting and entertaining of the adventure 'point and click' genre. However, after paying good money for the download, gameplay seemed about as long as your typical demo. It left me feeling a bit ripped off, as it was so short. Puzzles were some of the best ever designed for this type of platform, thought, I must admit. Hopefully there will be a longer sequel someday.
I enjoyed playing Stasis, but I found the game too short. The characters and settings in this game are on the small side, so the in-game sequences are often hard to fully see and appreciate. This takes away from the moodiness appreciably. Not to mention the fact that the plot 'borrows' a bit too liberally from films like Pandorum, Event Horizon and even Aliens. As a fan of those horror classics, my prior knowledge of the movies made Stasis a bit predictable, and therefore the horror aspect ended up being somewhat lackluster. It's also quite linear, which was disappointing, given the game is relatively new. This game did not scare me, so I suppose, overall, it's not a win if you're looking for a true fright. For a real horror experience, try Downfall and The Cat Lady, both of which I enjoyed immensely for their unconventional interfaces, artwork, story and dialogue.
