This is a game that tries to ride the coat-tails of games Like Journey, but fails in major ways. 1. There is no linear story, instead you are thrown into a 'open' world with no direction and little to no story. 2. The ability to fly is given to you without effort, so it means nothing despite being a major game-play mechanic. 3. the music suggests fantastic tales, but the game-play fails to live-up to this atmosphere, rendering it null. Where Journey's sound track was designed around your playing, this music seems slapped onto the environment, rather than being depending upon the player. 4. The Graphics are terrible, even for this kind of indie-cell-shaded game. In Short, buy it on EXTREME sale, otherwise it's a waste of money.
This is a favourite game of mine that ran terribly on my ps4. Still, I wanted to play it on my linux gaming rig so I bought it here. For a while it crashed on new-game, so i resigned myself to waiting for proton updates to make it work. Little did I know that it was only missing a winetrick, so I thought I'd leave this review for anyone in the same boat. As for the game itself, it's graphically excellent, plays well on a decent gaming pc and has enough of a story to justify wielding intense spellcraft. Give it a try if you're bored, but it isn't for those expecting a completely polished game, as the price indicates. Have an open mind and you'll enjoy it.
This game is absolutely fascinating and delves deep into character dynamics, it requires you study the history of your alternative selves and get them on board with your mission. Unreal engine graphics make is a feast for the eyes and without spoiling the story, I am extremely impressed with the implementation. Only gripe is that the EULA is invasive, Remove that and I'd have given it a 5 star review.
Top Down, strategic indie title. Hearkens back to arcade days without sacrificing modern convenience. Has depth, good video filters, detailed balancing and atmospheric music. Well worth the price, is a steal at the discount.
This remaster has kept the sound, feel and look of the original but with some rough edges smoothed other thanks to modern rendering techniques. The motion blur, anisotropic filtering and lighting effects along with widescreen resolution support mean this game can be played in a way that really does credit to the original. While the textures remain the same as before, and the game is essentially the same, it feels so much better to play. Finally, a pc port of the original turoks that doesn't feel like a cheap and nasty rush. I would know because I used to own the original pc port. This plays far better and I cannot recommend this enough to turok fans.
Refuses to work, just crashes upon startup. Tried multiple wine versions, but got the same issue. The original works fine so there really is no excuse for this.
A fantastic adventure game that is essentially no-man's sky without the planetary exploration and with a better story!
This game is like Quake and STALKER put together. A very grim atmosphere, gritty textures that hearken back to simpler gaming times like half-life 1 & Soldier of Fortune 1. A dark ambient track that is creepy without being uncomfortable. A fast paced gameplay mechanic with kicking, shotguns and running everywhere blasting away. And in between the run&gun there are little nods to soviet politics, notes to find, collectables and grenades to throw. While the price seems a little steep, it's certainly worth playing.
This game clearly attempts to be artistic and emotional, but falls completely flat on both accounts. The musical score wasn't bad, nor was the art-style, but there was absolutely no emotional connection with the 'events' if you can call them that. It is a walking simulator with blue hair and some childish attempts at emotional moments which completely misunderstand how to actually achieve them. I could barely bring myself to 'play' this 'game'. Though really it's just an interactive movie with sketch-art and some piano.
