This game follow the previous title "The Uncertain : Last Quiet Day" were you had the robot perspective. This time you're in a small group trying to survive the situation and find a way out, the human pov. Graphics are well done but the facial animation could be better. Fortunately the voice acting nailed it to imerse you in the conversation. The game and dialogue are slow and even running can be seen as a "fast walk". Riddles are the keys to this game, you will encourter various of them progressing the story. Some are intuitive, other not and i had trouble with the control knowing which key to use. Thanks god you ca skip every riddles if you want by pressing one key. I liked this option allowing to unstuck the player who just want to progress in the story. If you like the first game go for it. If you don't like game with a slow rythm and no fight don't buy it.
One of the best Lovecraft theme game i played. You start exploring ruins on a polar base as part of an mission. No jump scare, just a game of atmosphere. In each level you will have to solve riddles in order to progress in the story and the game. Doing so, you will found notes (written and oral) explaining you more about the mission you're in. The story is crytpic but just enough to keep you in the game. Graphics aren't that great, but the artistic direction nailed it and the voice acting is really good. The gameplay is pretty simple, you walk an interact with objects. There are no fight or weapons (expect an axe but only to break stone and make path) Some blackspot : the game presentation say that there are multiple ending, in reality there is only two. If you are a lovecraft fan or want to discover his universe go for it.
I got this game for free, and tried it. You control a car and have to drift in order to complete races with the best score. The control are not clear considering the game physics but i don't have the attraction for this kind of game to try and pass this first difficulty : I'm no big fan of cars, races, sound of engines and tires but i guess for cars lovers its a go.
This game puts you before the events of Life Is Strange. It's a good game itself, the fact that you can't go back in time make your choice more important. You get to know the story between chloe and rachel, and understand how chloe is what she is. There are interesting theme aborded like mourning, parenthood and family and it makes you feel that sometimes the right answer is the one you choose. If you liked Life is Strange go for it. If you didn't play you might miss some references and details.
You're Sable, starting the "gliding", an initiation of your people to the adult life. The game is beautiful and quite unique looking. That it why i wanted to play it at first, not knowing anything about the gameplay. I stayed for the story and the atmosphere. This is a game of exploration. You will discover old spaceships and temples to open, learning about the planet you're on. The side quests are interesting and all bring something new to the story. The gameplay is quite the same as Zelda Breath of The wild. You can climb with an stamina bar (that can be improve) and have a big map to explore and relays were the quests are. But this game is more simple : no fight, boss, nor bad guys just the desert to explore with your glider. This is about taking it's time, looking at the landscape, listening to the music (really beautiful one) and exploring old ruins. Somes blackspot : the menu is bugged (minor bug) so sometimes it will be impossible to navigate into it. The driving is not as smooth as i expected, and every little rock on your path will make you do unrealistic jump. If you want action don't buy it but I you like calm exploration game with where you drive at the sound of music go for it.
It's not really a game in the way that you don't have any leveling, objectives, building to unlock, quests or map to explore. You just choose a color and click where you want to build the house, floor, street, platform, etc... The goal is the one you impose to yourself. You can experiment, merging elements, trying new ideas of structures to acheive the city you imagine. Very intuitive and simple, i recommend it if you just want to relax and like builder game
Finally a management game in the Harry Potter universe even if it 's not asummed because i guess they don't have right. But still really refreshing and new and i way more rich. You have to build your school and complete objectives before the lord of evil comes and destroy everything. You can create houses with two random characteristics you can choose among six. Student have their owns, allowing them to learn faster (or not), be less hungry, more violent, faster, more lazy, sleepy, etc... You will have to adapt and make them learn the best you can. You can improve all the rooms, you have access to many object, each of them if a different effect, you will have to maintain relation with the factions outside, and you can do dungeons with the pupils you choose. Actually there is a campain mode and a free mode where you can play without worries. Following the student all around the university watching what they are doing is really fun and satisfying. This is really a promisong game, i have a lot of fun doing it. I can't wait for the next update. There are some minor bugs, but they wont disturb you a lot. If you like or want to try managment game, go for it ! you wont regret it.
This is one of those game you want to do again to catch details and stories parts you missed during your first time. The story is really good, you play as an AI on a space station waking up after an incident. You will assist Emma, an astronaut in her quest to understand what the hell is going on. This is a criptic story and at the end i stayed before my screen, thinking about what i just played, trying to remember all, because the end let you with so much questions. The gameplay is simple, you either control cameras or a little ball that can "fly" all over the station, connecting to everything you can : doors, computer, devices..., to progress in the story. You will face puzzle and riddles you need to solve to see the end of the game. I encourage exploration to gather notes that will help you know each memeber of the crew and the relationship between them. The atmosphere is great, you really have the impression to explore the ISS, there is no sense of up and down just like in space. The music is awesome, adding a mysterious/heavy touch on the ritth time. Some blackspot : cameras are moving really slowy so it's a little frustrating and there is so many details and objects that sometimes you are lost not knowing where to go or what to do. If you like space, thriller and mysterious story that will let you with more questions than answers at the end this is the game for you.
This game is way better than the first one. Gameplay is smoother, the interface is easier to use, animations are better, the level design is also better and there is voice acting with beautiful drawn cutseen. There is a lot of lore if you care to explore and collecting notes. The game itself isn't that scary or that hard when you got the mechanics right but the atmosphere is great. The interesting side of this game is in his story and his characters. If you want all the notes you will have to do some backtracking and there is more than one ending. It took me ten hours to finish, really taking my time and exploring. If you played the first one and liked the style or if you like little horror game not to scary or hard go for it.
With "samorost 2" and "bonaticula" they established the style of their game. With samorost 3 they keep all the good, improving what's need to be resulting the best game of the studio. What make the previous game loveable is still here, with a new story, a better interface and gameplay. The sound design is great, the artisitic direction rigth there. It's a brillant puzzle game with a cute story. If you get stuck you can always check the book you have in the game, it will help you by giving you keys action to do. They seems to have choose "easyness" over difficulty to let you enjoy the game. If you liked the previous game of the studio or small, simple story with unique artistic direction go for it.
