If you like classic RPGs and don’t mind a toned-down art style, Avadon 3: The Warborn is for you. - See more at: http://cogconnected.com/review/avadon-3-the-warborn-review/#sthash.e7g8ngqD.dpuf
Simple controls and mechanics are your best bet for solid gameplay, and Thoth delivers these on a silver platter.
Most of the levels feel like they’re in a weird place where they’re too long to say this is a casual game you can pick up and put down, but too short to keep you glued to your seat for a couple hours.
In some cases you need to aim so high up you can't even see the objective anymore.
Daedalic has a strong reputation, and they've maintained it with this release.
If you're looking for some serious tactics fun and have been craving some of that late 80s or early 90s campiness, do yourself a favor and pick up Chroma Squad on just about any platform of your choice.
Admittedly, there are a few rooms that could have probably been removed altogether and instead replaced with more story exposition.
While you won't be astounded or amazed, overall it's a pretty solid game.
From the originality of the story, to the illustrative comic book panel scenes and exceptional graphics, Turn On is a fantastic casual platformer guaranteed to help pass a few hours of your day with a smile on your face.
The platforming can be a bit touchy, but for the most part you’ll be stuck on puzzles and not jumping sections aside from a few key moments.
Racing against your own ghost is fun, but not for long.
Overall, Gauntlet was a lot of fun but it still felt like something was missing. Granted it was reminiscent of my own past experiences with the franchise but playing with friends over Skype and Steam wasn't quite the same as hanging out in the living room with four controllers plugged into one console. That said it still evoked the same thrills and competitiveness as before. We fought for treasure, battled for screen control, and raced for crowns and keys. If you have some friends that love to crawl through dungeons or you just want to relive some memories from the past, I'd definitely suggest grabbing a copy or splitting a 4-pack and going on an adventure sometime soon.
Roguelikes always hold a strange place in my heart because while it feels exhilarating to have that great run where everything just works, it's so incredibly heart-breaking when that run inevitably fails. Runers will certainly test your patience, but it's kind of like a big puzzle for which someone has conveniently left you a giant tool kit but no instructions. Good luck!
When you consider buying Blackguards 2, there are three questions you need to ask yourself. Do you enjoy tactics RPGs? Do you like an interesting high-fantasy story? Do you have hours and hours to sink into a new game? If you answered yes to any of these, then I'd definitely recommend checking out not only Blackguards 2 but its predecessor as well. Daedalic has done a great job at actually listening to the community to help improve their product, and I'm really happy to see what they've done. You're not going to get blown away, but you'll certainly be left with some fond memories and a solid experience.
One of the key factors to my enjoyment of the game remains that Apotheon was free [through PS+ free games]. If the crashes and bugs aren't fixed by the end of the month when this becomes purchase only, I'd be pretty disappointed as a paying customer.
If the exploit I found hadn't been so game breaking, I'd have rated Slow Down, Bull higher. It's a very decent game for the price, and I'm happy to see more titles like this coming from well-known studios.
Most platformer fans will get a kick out Harold, and anybody with a spare controller laying about that wants to try something new should check it out
Neverending Nightmares has its flaws, and it certainly isn't for the squeamish. However, anyone who digs the horror or suspense genres should absolutely pick this up. Being born out of personal torment and inner conflict makes this game a unique experience, and sometimes you can't help but relate to Thomas' confusion as he wanders through the dark. I hope you can save him. I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in his nightmare.
There's a dissonance between this fantastic art style and dull or tame backing soundtrack.
There is no digging through your inventory for that extra elixir or bomb; if you can't figure out an enemy's pattern or weakness, you are dead.
