GameGrin's Reviews
I enjoyed The RPG, but I won't be coming back to it. It has some good moments and jokes and I enjoyed the gameplay well enough, but its glitches and game design issues make it a slog to play.
The Dark Queen of Mortholme is a game unlike any other I've played. It has a great story and a loop system that kept me coming back until I got to the end.
A wonderfully surreal RPG, with some interesting thematic depth to match.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition is the ideal remaster, but nothing has really changed mechanically, so many of the old issues with balancing still exist.
The Necromancer's Tale is a promising, well-written RPG with a fleshed-out trust system and rich characters, but simplistic, clunky combat hinders the game a bit.
Ra Ra BOOM is a high-energy, upbeat beat 'em up game with a vibrant look and ninja cheerleaders that you control through nine different stages.
NEOWIZ puts their skills on full display with Lies of P: Overture, tackling obnoxious tropes and bringing new light to them masterfully. At £24.99, it feels like an entire sequel waiting to be explored by fans of the original, and it stands as a no-brainer DLC for them.
The Royal Writ is a good roguelike that emphasises planning ahead, taking calculated risks, and rolling with the punches. However, at times, it can unfairly kill your run before you can even react to it.
Mechanically, Return from Core is a fine game. It's like comfort food: it's not great for you by any means, but it's still enjoyable enough to see it through to the end. I just wish it had a better story, cleaned up the dialogue, and a more intuitive UI.
VILE: Exhumed is a cool concept with slick presentation, it's just a little too shallow and short to reach its full potential.
It's great to see Never 7: The End of Infinity get a worldwide release, but playing it is a different story. It's saved with good characters and a fantastic soundtrack, but the writing tries its best to drag them down.
Reality Break is an excellent action RPG that approaches its roguelite elements in a unique way that keeps making me come back for more, and I'm sure that its newest content update delivers more on what players love already. Check it out if you haven't already!
ISLANDERS: New Shores is a chill building experience, full of strategy, that requires a lot of planning to maximise your score, but it remains a calm and relaxing experience.
NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a perfect addition to the series. It looks and sounds amazing, and with accessibility options it feels more fair. It's great!
Gore Doctor is an example of when a developer just makes a lazy, bad game. Be warned.
I really enjoyed my time with Hell Clock. It balances all its aspects just right: narrative, gameplay, progression, and difficulty. Just watch the clock, you might lose yourself down in Hell.
Atomic Owl is a roguelike title set in a neon-filled world that, while looking nice, was frustrating to play, making it feel unfair.
Killing Floor 3 does everything you want right, but at the same time, it lacks some of the magic seen in the older games.
Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition brings a classic back for modern audiences. While it retains some of the idiosyncrasies of its time and can be a bit complex, it's still well worth a try, especially with the potential of Steam Workshop!
Wheel World is a cyclist's haven, with tons of challenging races to beat, lands to cycle through, and heaps of customisation options to create your perfect bicycle. Highly recommended.
