Emine Ozturk's Reviews
I wouldn't dare thinking about the possibility of telling death stories in such a glorious way. Despite the fact that What Remains of Edith Finch is short, every second of it is at full. What Remains of Edith Finch is the one and only answer to the question of how a narrative adventure video game should be. Play it, break your heart, ease your pain, witness the beauty.
Everything about this game penetrates right to my bones and I am afraid that it raised the bar for me even higher than I expected.
If you don't believe that a game with such mesmerizing graphics can't shatter your heart to pieces, you should give Old Man's Journey a chance. With the unique landscape-shaping mechanic, creative puzzles, heart-breaking story and gorgeous art design; this old man offers you the journey of your life. Walk beside him hence he does not deserve walking this path alone.
Sine Mora EX is a unique and challenging side-scrolling shoot'em up with time manipulating feature. With a deep & complex story and splendid art work, you will witness what bullet mayhem really is. If you are up to beat some of the best good-looking bosses of all times, give Sine Mora EX a go. You won't regret it!
I enjoyed every bits and pieces of The Gardens Between and I admired every garden of it. My only regret is that the game is kind of short.
Stories Untold indeed deserves the '4 stories, 1 nightmare' title with its achievements on interactive narrative, mysterious and startling stories, strong 80's retro touch and fantastic gameplay mechanics.
HOB is a game which I was missing for a long time and I didn't even notice it until I laid my eyes on it. The game has a flawless gameplay with so much to unravel and show you. What's not to delve into the ever-changing world of HOB?
The Mooseman is a game which you can not afford to miss if you are into long forgotten gods and spirits, ancient myths and some weird history.
The Darkside Detective is one of the games which made me actually laugh while playing it. The distinct sense of humour may not address to everyone, but if you like Twin Peaks, bizarre supernatural stories and pixelated art design, give The Darkside Detective a chance. The game offers more than meets the eye and a good laugh, which we all need.
Even though there are some technical issues, Ken Follett's The Pillars of Earth takes its place amongst my favorite games of 2018. It is a must-play for the ones who enjoy point & click games with a rich and intriguing story.
I can easily say that FAR: Lone Sails is a fantastic experience and a great pleasure for the ones who enjoy management games with glorious visual art.
I've enjoyed every tiny puzzle of Hexologic and I recommend it to every Sukodu lover. Hexologic is a new point of view to the Sudoku game where you can also enjoy some nice soundtrack and warm colors.
A loving homage to classic JRPGs, indeed! Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs is a turn-based tactical JPRG set in a humorous and weird fantasy world full of action, combat, adventure and fun. I wouldn't dare to think that a turn-based action game can entertain me this much. Oh boy, how wrong I was!
I don't know why but I consider myself lucky for laying my eyes and hands on this game. A great effort and a game to admire, from my point of view.
The hungry Wurm is back with Nidhogg 2 and I am more than glad! With better visuals and add-ons like new stages and weapons, Nidhogg 2 brings honor to its predecessor. The game offers brilliant fast-paced combat with hilarious and gruesome moments and this is exactly what I was expecting from it. Nidhogg 2 is a must if you want to spend some quality time full of laughter with your friends! Feed the big bad worm!
I love that how the story-telling is so successful and intense while gameplay is so much fun and lively. You do not try to survive, you settle with them. Seeing your settlement grow bigger and bigger is enough to put a smile on your face and doing it in a way so stainless is a huge success.
Drifting Lands kept its promise of being enjoyable while combining 2D horizontal shmup with ARPG elements. If you are up to some challenging shoot'em'up action-RPG with swarms of enemies, then buckle your starship's seat belt up!
Being an action/adventure FPS with a procedurally generated universe and platformer elements, taking the risk of using the low poly style and lay a non-superficial story under all of it, and even shouldering the burden of creating a game whose fans are doubtful when it comes to generated universes? And keeping it all at a small scale which is oddly satisfying? Well, I call that nothing but success.
In the end, it made me realize that we need more of this, especially if you enjoy reading. Being a part of something you can read is a totally different experience and think of the joy when it is victoriously fictionalized.
If you are still playing Starpoint Gemini Warlords, I highly recommend you to try out the Cycle of Warfare DLC since it brings so much to do and various gameplay styles to the main game.
