With every successive stage the potential dangers grow, and new ones are always being added to the pile.
Every stage is a carefully-crafted explosion of looping paths and intricate patterns.
Even though these are all solid titles, something about this just feels like a ‘B-sides' collection of sorts.
Everything about this game is designed around casting these insane spells.
Your color mixing produces clean, gorgeous results that feel like they should be on the set of some ultra-modern music video.
The combat… my god the combat. I can't imagine playing through the entire campaign with all that frantic button-smashing.
Antihero is a charming aesthetic package wrapped around a solid tactical core.
I spent almost a full day mulling over who would do what job.
All in all, I enjoyed my time with Acaratus.
If this is your entry point, you've picked a good one.
The Search presents you with artistic expression as a moral act, one that can change your entire world if you commit to it properly.
Welcome to Inner Chains, a slow and slightly cutthroat excursion into the depths of suffering and horror.
I highly recommend The Fidelio Incident for anyone hungry for moving stories in video games.
There's just enough plot here to act as a vehicle for the many cheesy one-liners which are the meat of this game's script.
Your experience is less about the thrill of the fight, and more about watching characters you love annihilate enemies in creative and spectacular ways.
Strafe takes great delight in catching you off guard.
If you consider yourself a narrative gaming connoisseur, you'll find some real value here. If that genre doesn't resonate with you, though, you may want to think twice before picking up Path of Whispers.
The beautiful, hand-crafted game worlds are a single error away from being awash with your blood.
Making me wander over to the shop to purchase a stat upgrade already behind a progression gate is so pointless.
