While Daylight is a bit on the stereotypical side, with you running circles inside an asylum where the good doctor wasn't actually that good, and the dementia that the patients were experiencing was more than just a figment of their imagination, it does a good job in the presentation department.
Blackwell Epiphany delivers a fitting end to the arching Blackwell series, offering the most enthralling story yet, not to mention the highest stakes, as the protagonists take on a malevolent force that threatens the very essence of life.
The puzzles are ok for the most part, especially once they get a bit more complicated with the inclusion of platforming, that requires precise timing, but the whole "death as a gameplay mechanic" bit wears off pretty soon, and you'll find yourself with another pretty generic game.
Overall, the game offers a very enjoyable experience, not very challenging but not overly simplistic either, that keeps you pretty interested in seeing how things evolve and motivated to keep playing in order to uncover its story arc.
Ether One gracefully fools you into thinking you've got a triple-A title on your hands, with its gorgeous visuals and superb sound production, and the immersive storyline completes the whole package.
Although Betrayer brings many good ideas to the table, the mix fails to homogenize in a meaningful manner, and the game's shortcomings begin pestering you while you repeat the same patterns over and over.
Overall, Quest of Dungeons offers an enjoyable gameplay experience, but it fails to shine in any particular way. The classes don't feel different enough. There is little information regarding why your 50 damage weapon only inflicts 20 points of damage and how the number miraculously goes up when you level up. Plus, you're going to spend a lot of time going in circles, waiting for your health and mana to regen, time that would be much better spent actually playing the game.
BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 2 definitely feels worthy of the BioShock name, and delivers a fitting conclusion to the franchise. If Episode 1 was a bit lacking in both depth and length, Episode 2 is filled with the same brilliant direction Infinite had, making it easy to overlook its few lacking areas while being engrossed in the convoluted story, enjoying the flavorful dialogue and the gorgeous visuals.
Consortium is a really immersive role-playing experience that plays like an adventure game set in the early days of the Star Trek universe. It is similar to what a modern incarnation of the classic point-and-click adventures of old should be like, complete with diplomacy and multiple choices with different consequences and end results.
There are two types of people as far as Might & Magic X: Legacy goes, those who upon hearing "Might & Magic" think of a role-playing game, and those who think about a strategy game. The former category will greatly enjoy the new game and ignore its shortcomings, and the latter, well, not so much.
While Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition still has the same award-winning content, even adding a little bit of extra stuff, the game is unfortunately still outmatched in today's arena.
All in all, Rain Games' little gem is quite the bundle of joy. It is a little bit on the short side, but that's to be expected from a 2D platformer.
