Fun short beat'em up

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.9 / Galaxy ->Tutorial videos show up bugged Assault Spy is a fun short game. The grafics aren't anything too special but you can see that the Dev put a lot of passion into the combos / variation as well as writing some fun characters and story. All of the story dialogue is voiced in japanese and well done (opinion of non japanese speaking gamer). The story isn't very deep and doesn't have to since it is just a short silly story to enjoy. I am not a good beat'em up player so I finished the game on easy mode and had a great time, but I guess I would've been frustrated on normal since it took quite a while to warm up to the male characters fighting controls. The female was much easier to get into. The female is unlocked after maybe 1h of gameplay but if you want to get the full story you need to finish both campaigns as far as I know. While fighting you earn points to unlock more combos which make the combat much more fun. It took me approx 9h on easy difficulty to play through the whole story. You can go back and replay the story or the additional modes to unlock all moves. The Dev will also release a new game called MIGHTREYA. I hope they release it on GOG aswell.

Fun 18+ SRPG hybrid

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 10 / Galaxy -> Videos didn't play, can watch them from the game folder It is the sequel to Beat Angel Escalayer R(emake) which was, other than this sequel, remade (also here on GOG). Would be nice to get the 3rd entry here aswell. - The game is fully uncensored. - Very content-heavy hybrid that focuses on stat management, ninja combat, and a massive library of over 150 mature scenes. - The main characters were all likeable but also not too deep characterwise. - The story is a serviceable fantasy plot. - You train your ninjas through spicy content which are usually very long scenes. I skipped most of it because I am boring :) but what I read in between was.. very detailed. You also get scenes if your ninja loses a battle. - The game operates much like a stat-management simulator. Days are split into Morning, Afternoon and Night(battle) phases in which you are choosing how to train your kunoichi, manage your resources, and build their stats. - The voice acting and music was really good. - I had a fun time reading this VN but it was quite long (26h) so that I didn't go for a replay yet to get the other endings.

Interesting mystery in an aquarium

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.8 / Galaxy - The story was a bit confusing at first but made much more sense after the 2nd playthrough. You have to start a new game after the first run to be able to unlock the best ending (not obviously shown or mentioned in game!) - I did like how the main character evolved over time. - Likeable characters. - A lot of choices resulting in surviving or dying which was quite interesting. - The OST was well chosen and fitting. - Sometimes the dialogues dragged a bit too much for my taste. Was definately an interesting read.

Disapointing spin-off (3.5 Stars)

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.8 / Galaxy - The story is just some lighthearted Neptunia nonsense and the characters are as likeable as always. - The gameplay didn't click with me since it felt like a weird hybrid of Senran Kagura and Neptunia more leaning into the slower combat but in a less fun way. For example it is possible to unleash a strike combo without beeing able to cancel them so enemies can still hit you while those animations play - even when doing ninja arts. - The difficuly spikes close to the end was like switching the difficulty of a game from easy to hard all of a sudden. Of course grinding levels would be the solution but the gameplay didn't really motivate me to do so and the unlocks in this game are close to nonexisting. - The presentation in game is fine but the bad mouth animation of the VN parts is really bad. - The character roster is pretty small if you think about the possibility of these franchises. - The game is not too long so at least it didn't overstay it's welcome. - As someone who enjoyed these franchises in the past it hurts me to give this game such a mediocre score but I think 3 is just right. As a biased "fan" I give it 3.5. Neptunia U: action unleashed was far better gameplay and content wise! All in all it felt like this game was stripped of it's soul and maybe what Vert says during a dialoge gives one of the reasons: "People may at times feel writing strong men and beautiful women is sexist, or showing the preciousness of life and the misery of war is violent and savage. What I cannot stand are prejudices spoken by those who have only played a few of the titles, lies said by those who have never beaten any. Restrictions born from being manipulated by those opinions, trying to chase popularity. That cannot possibly be justice! No, I shall say it, it is evil!" A clear reference to the current censorship that is happening today towards anime and video games.

Solid Fim Noir walking sim

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.9 / Galaxy - The story was engaging but a little bit confusing at times. After the end though most of it made sense to me. - Gameplay wise this game is a walking simulator with dialogue decisions which (most of the time) don't influence the story very much. There are different endings though and there is no way in choosing chapters after the first playthrough so if you want to get them all you need to restart all over again! - The soundrack and the design of the world did a great job in helping me immerse myself into this games film noir atmosphere. - I did like the main character but really couldn't stand Sara the longer I played. - Voice acting was really good by all actors. - Didn't overstay it's welcome.

Okay game hindered by unbalanced start

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.11 / Galaxy - The story was more interessting than I have thought at the beginning.. - The music was subtle and reminded me of Mass Effect or Deus EX HR. So it did it's job. - The gameplay consists mostly of shooting at enemy weakpoints with the neccessary element. - The difficulty balance is where this game failed me. It starts quite unfair with no way to level up your skills to help overcoming personal difficult obsticles like one could do in many other souls like games. While you get so many upgrades and skillpoints after the 2nd chapter that the game got progressivly easier. I was baffled how quick the Endboss died. - Full disclosure: After the frustrating beginning and since the gameplay didn't wanna click with me I found out about a mod which helped me at least finish the game. In hindsight, I would've made it without the mod if the beginning wasn't that rough. - I give it a 3.5.

Gripping story and great atmosphere

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.9 / Galaxy A Plague Tale: Innocence absolutely won me over. The story is exciting and the characters – with one exception among the minor cast – are very likable. The music in particular adds a lot to the dense, dark atmosphere. The graphics are fine aswell. The game isn't overly difficult, but that doesn't take away from the fun at all. My only critique: sometimes it gets so dark that it’s easy to miss items, and unfortunately, a brightness slider is missing from the options. Conclusion: A wonderfully linear game without any unnecessary open-world bloat. In this form, it is simply extremely entertaining and beautifully composed. Made me sure to buy the sequell.

Arcade flight sim / bullet hell segments

Linux Mint / Bottles / Runner: Kron4ek 11.8 / Galaxy -The progression system is motivating with unlockable skills which will make you extremely agile after the mechanics click with you. -Graphics are fine, the music is subtle and mostly unmemorable. -Difficulty is a bit strange so that 95% of all battles make you think that the game is too easy and in around 5% the game will throw so much stuff at you that it made me feel as if I would be playing a bullethell game all of a sudden. Sometimes important places to go or to shoot weren't very clearly shown in those situations which made it difficult for all the wrong reasons. -The generous checkpoints made the before mentioned difficulty spikes very bareable. -There is a permadeath option for anyone who dares.. -The story.. I honestly lost interesst in the main character and story after I recognized the pattern of mostly strong independent women being good and nearly all evil characters, traitors and cowards beeing male. The few evil female characters always had a reason to for being evil (like beeing corrupted by space magic). If you want diversity than diversify good and evil characters. -The whispering of the main character, representing her thoughts, got annoying after a while and no dialogues can be skipped so hearing the same annoying dialogue during a repeated bossfight made me want to turn of the audio. -Didn't encounter any noticeable bugs or performance issues. What kept me going was the gameplay and my stubbornness although I still think it was a shame that the script turned me off that bad. A script from 20 years ago would've gotten me more invested since it would've not been tainted by DEI/millennial writing.

Really great hidden gem

OS: Linux Mint; Bottles/Galaxy/kron4eck runner 11.1 Story: Interesting but only fully delivered when reading the collectables. Gameplay: ARPG akin to Darksiders. Stamina gets drained by dodging not attaking (item to change that in DLC). You start with all available weapons which can be upgradeded and mastered within a skill tree (respec possible). To get everything new game+ is necessary. The good: Story was surprisingly darker than the graphics made me believe in the beginning. The music was fitting and had some really beautiful tracks. I really liked the MC as she was showing many different emotions in a compelling way and not being an arrogant girlboss. The voice acting was really good. The beautiful and colorful environments are diverse and recognizable enough to make up for the lack of a map. The greek myth setting makes it very memorable because it is not being used that much in gaming and is well presented. The bad: Annoying bug when climbing down where the MC grabs the ledge / ladder for a moment but glitches out resulting in releasing the ledge / ladder, resulting in the MC falling to her death if the player kept pressing down to descent the obstacle. AI sometimes being blind for the MC resulting them to just stand around until you hit the enemy (only minions not bosses). Lipsync doesn't really work on characters and only lasts a few seconds before stopping while the voice keeps going. Neutral: Most optional story dialogue or sidequests are not voice acted, which can result in a lot of text to read. Made my lazy bum do some reading, which was fine and filled the gaps of the story in my brain better as a reward. I spend more time than I expected because I took my time to explore and find as much as possible on my 1st playthough, a good sign of quality gaming time in my book, though it took me some time to get into the game at first (5h or less). 5 Stars on sale (how I got it, bought UE), maybe 4 on full price. Std. edition fine for most.

Short but entertaining like a movie

OS: Linux Mint; Bottles/Galaxy: couldn't start; Solution: launching through Steam(Proton-GE) as non Steamgame. Story: Short and only fully delivered when reading the diary. Gameplay: Plattformer / Puzzle / some combat with melee and guns. Reminded me of the game Flashback 1992. The good: The music and story was fine, as well as the presentation of the world. Savestates (only one active at a time) are mostly fairly distributed. Doesn't overstay it's welcome. Harder difficulty and survival mode for those who want more. Alternate ending for those who beat nightmare difficulty. The bad: The controls can feel a bit mushy and the dark environment or objects in the foreground can make ledges or enemies hard to make out in some situations. Might be too short for some costumers. 4 Stars on sale (how I got it), maybe 3 on full price. I enjoyed my time with it.
