It may take place at the bottom of the ocean on a distant alien planet, but Harold Halibut’s story is an entirely human one, both in terms of its carefully handmade environments and its strong emphasis on empathy towards its eccentric cast of characters. While I wish that there was a little more interactivity to be found throughout its subaquatic setting, and Harold’s shuffling run could have been boosted to a sprint to reduce the time spent repeatedly schlepping from one end of its levels to the other, I nonetheless remained captivated by his whimsical quest to unite his community and explore the spectacular surroundings of his sunken home. Consistently funny and full of surprises, Harold Halibut is a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.

It would probably make a better movie than a game, but there’s still a unique charm about Harold Halibut and his slow-paced journey to discover his place in life.

Harold Halibut fa dello stile artistico il suo cavallo di battaglia affiancandolo però ad una buona storia, con personaggi che non risultano scontati. Al contrario, il lato gameplay e la fluidità generale dell'esperienza non risultano immacolati

Pepper Grinder è uno di quei titoli che ti piace molto mentre lo stai giocando: ti stai divertendo, stai trovando modo e voglia di fare anche ottimi numeri nelle prove a tempo e ti muovi a ritmo con la sua ottima colonna sonora. Poi ad un certo punto la musica cambia, i livello perdono la verve iniziale e culminano con una boss battle decisamente scadente. Il problema? Che sono passate appena due ore scarse, e questo è un vero peccato.

Gli amanti dello splatter adoreranno The Kinderman Remedy, un gestionale capace di spruzzare sangue e cattiveria da tutti i pori. Il solido e divertente gameplay dell’opera di Troglobytes Games accompagneranno i giocatori nel riscattare il “buon nome” del dottore protagonista del gioco, oltre a metterli alla prova con scelte morali discutibili. Una ripetitività di fondo e un comparto grafico abbastanza semplicistico non bastano a mettere a repentaglio quanto offerto dal team italiano. Un’offerta per sadici e amanti di violenza e torture, ma pur sempre una buona offerta.

While the user interface takes some getting used to, and the script could have used a little more polish, the story and investigative gameplay of Between Horizons are highly entertaining. I really enjoyed playing as Stella, molding both her character and the story’s ultimate outcome with my dialogue choices and efficiency as the Zephyr’s chief of security. I loved roaming around the spaceship looking for clues and talking to other characters, each with their own unique personality and background, with not one but ten different mysteries to investigate. And there’s a great amount of detailed worldbuilding, both visually and narratively found in this game. It’s a shame that trying for a different outcome demands another complete playthrough, but I was very satisfied with the ending I got, despite only finding the right solution for eight out of ten cases. Even if you’re like me and generally have no real affinity for science fiction, this intriguing detective/sci-fi story aims for the stars, and as far as I’m concerned it’s mission successful!

reedom Planet 2 takes everything great about the first game, adds a bit of polish and some extra mechanics, and gives us an absolute beast of a game. I cannot praise it enough, it’s just brilliant fun!

Planet Crafter is a very peaceful, satisfying game worth dumping your hours into. It’s a game you play to relax after a hard day’s work, and what better way to show it than by turning a lifeless rock into somewhere you can call home?

I am a fan of side-scrolling platformers like Inside, Songs of Iron and Limbo, and One Last Breath has taken my gaming breath away! Personally, I am not the type of character to worry about “save the world” elements, however, One Last Breath sucked me into their world and made me think, that some of my real-world actions might have a massive effect on the world as we know it. That aside, the gameplay was wonderful and pleasant to play, with the short sharp and levels that made each section of the game palatable. I felt truly relaxed while playing, even though a wrong move could kill me.

As a long-time fan of Tintin, I really wanted to love Cigars of the Pharaoh, but despite going in with enthusiasm and optimism, my joy was quickly turned into frustration and disappointment. I did temporarily get my hopes up again when the game began feeling more like an adventure, only for it to be turned around once more. This roller coaster of emotions eventually soured my experience entirely, and as I got closer to the end I just wanted it all to be over. Numerous bugs and glitches, frustrating gameplay and fragmented storytelling dragged the whole game down from what at times showed the potential to be a good time. I’m not sure someone who isn’t a fan of the series would care enough about the Tintin brand to overlook all the rough edges, and even as a devoted series fan it is a tough pill to swallow. My only hope is that Pendulo and Microids take the criticism to heart, focusing more on what they do best if there's to be a sequel hinted at in the end scene.

Heracles : Chariot Racing est en fin de compte un WiiWare relativement recommandable si vous avez fait le tour de Mario Kart Wii ou si vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre d'acquérir ce dernier. L'univers reste accrocheur et les sensations de vitesse sont bien au rendez-vous. Néanmoins, il ne faut pas être trop regardant sur les rendus graphique et sonore ainsi que sur la durée de vie du titre.

Beyond bundling a trio of racing titles and a rom hack-style inclusion, don’t expect much from Top Racer Collection. Yes, the individual titles are fairly evergreen, balancing the fundamentals of driving with light racing management duties like determining when to pit. But the general lack of curation is moderately disappointing. When quarter-century old films arrive on physical media, they’re usually accompanied by a host of ancillaries. But here, QUByte Interactive just delivers the basics. At least the games speak for themselves.
