Loved this goofy little game, reminded me a LOT of those PS2 era horror games with a little humor thrown in - titles like Ghosthunter, the Evil Dead games, etc. At one point I got a full creep-out scare and the thing that was responsible insulted me - I can't remember the last time I got spooked and laughed in the same scene in a horror game. Really good music by a band supplements the atmospheric music nicely. Puzzles were fun and only one stumped me to the point of needing a look-up. There's definitely a little jank here and there, but it won't impact your playthrough. Barring one poorly built area where it's raining at night and they show a starry sky the whole time...rain comes from clouds. I highly recommend this game - it was very fun and I hope we see a follow up at some point, or just another game like this from these devs.
The amount of precofiguration and troubleshooting to get this one up and running is a bit aburd. Three pre patches (one of which gets flagged as risky software), mouse issues, and how easily it locks up GOG Galaxy. Not a Good Old Game - just an Old Game that really doesn't work without a lot of patience and tweaking. I'll wait for the remake.
Had a good time with this one, platforming was fun and fair most of the time (one puzzle took me 7 tries, that was the longest one in my entire playthrough). There are some hidden card collectibles and post game content, but this is for the most part a single playthrough kind of game. Only knock is the story, which is a bit convoluted for what it's trying to tell. Issues with time and setting (supposedly in the 50s/60s, but one character talks about PARKOUR?). Also the last boss was a bit tougher than anticipated given the boss trajectory from the first couple. That made that last encounter a bit less fun than the others, so that's something to be aware of going in.
I couldn't finish this one due to the floaty controls. Too many sections require pixel perfect accuracy and there is a slight delay to starting your movement and movement contines for 1-3 frames after you stop input. So constant inaccurate jumping, not being able to hit anything, and too many BS deaths for my liking. Cute coat of paint, good luck to you if you take this one on for yourself.
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would when reading the phrase "RTS Tower Defense ARPRG" in previes and revies. It's fun, doesn't hold your hand too much, and for the most part it's chaotic but manageable. Uses twin stick shooter controls for movement and aiming, and base building is pretty responsive and snappy with a controller (how I played). I'd recommend this one if you're looking for something a bit different.
I had a good time with this one, really liked the attempt to riff on old school text adventures, albeit it pretty stripped down in terms of commands and objects to operate on. Some of the puzzles are tough, but for the most part completely doable without having to look things up. It's not super scary, but it's creepy for sure. And at three hours, it didn't overstay it's welcome. The episodic format is good for session play. I'd recommend this one to others on sale.
