Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four

Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four

Poor

Bad Graphics, unskippable intro, 100% GPU utilisation on 2d cutscenes, inability to go into windowed mode, forced tutorial. Wish I'd not bought it.

Kingdom: New Lands

acceptable game, with some problems.

While the game-play is somewhat solid, there is an element of rogue-like in the main character that was unwelcome. Often, (whilst in the medieval setting no less) the king and queens you play as will be black for some reason, as will some of the peasants. This makes no sense and took me completely out of the game. While they did exist, they were the absolute minority in history and I felt that if this was a sticking point for you as if was for me, in the climate of white culture being improperly represented, I had to mention it as it was quite the shock. The game itself is a very slowly paced game that works more like a mobile game than an actual game. pick up coins, spend them, the peasants do the rest. Whilst mildly interesting, not something you'd sink much time into.

Fails to be better.

While I enjoy the roguelike nature of the game, several eleemnts make it painful to play. I unlocked all passives within a few sessions, so that was boring. It gifts several spell slots, but the availability of spells is sparse such that you're fighting a boss with 1 spell at full, or two spells without full. This is not acceptably difficult. It's far too hard. A pain of a game that almost makes itself fun.

Q.U.B.E. 2

Loved QUBE 1. Didn't love this

QUBE 1 was an excercise in environmental storytelling. QUBE 2 is a walking simulator with annoying voice acting. The environment is just there to enable puzzles. The puzzles are just there to get to the next part of the dialogue. It's boring, tedious and pretentious. I expected more of the same, but got a completely different game instead. And that's a bad thing. Worst of all is the reliance on Unreal Engine.

Prince of Persia x Journey

While there are problems with the Co-op system as other reviewers have mentioned, as a single player experience it is quite good. A somewhat generic plot, though with it's own unique twists on things. A combat system that is surprisingly deep and customizable along with a character customization screen. Combat is what you'd expect from any generic third person action game, whilst encouraging you to tailor the experience to your preferences. Be that strong single attacks, nor sweeping area attacks and with Rage meters and adjustable effects etc. A very good game so far, despite some flaws that others have mentioned.

Ghostrunner + Doom

If you liked those games, this one is for you. It's the unreal engine, surprisingly optimised, runs on Linux without any issue, Has an intriguing story that again, is a mixture of those two incredible games. While £32 is a bit high for me, any degree of deal should make it an excellent purchase. Just a great game and deserves recognition.

AER – Memories of Old

Journey without the journey.

This is a game that tries to ride the coat-tails of games Like Journey, but fails in major ways. 1. There is no linear story, instead you are thrown into a 'open' world with no direction and little to no story. 2. The ability to fly is given to you without effort, so it means nothing despite being a major game-play mechanic. 3. the music suggests fantastic tales, but the game-play fails to live-up to this atmosphere, rendering it null. Where Journey's sound track was designed around your playing, this music seems slapped onto the environment, rather than being depending upon the player. 4. The Graphics are terrible, even for this kind of indie-cell-shaded game. In Short, buy it on EXTREME sale, otherwise it's a waste of money.

Install Wininet with winetricks

This is a favourite game of mine that ran terribly on my ps4. Still, I wanted to play it on my linux gaming rig so I bought it here. For a while it crashed on new-game, so i resigned myself to waiting for proton updates to make it work. Little did I know that it was only missing a winetrick, so I thought I'd leave this review for anyone in the same boat. As for the game itself, it's graphically excellent, plays well on a decent gaming pc and has enough of a story to justify wielding intense spellcraft. Give it a try if you're bored, but it isn't for those expecting a completely polished game, as the price indicates. Have an open mind and you'll enjoy it.

Despite the EULA I like it

This game is absolutely fascinating and delves deep into character dynamics, it requires you study the history of your alternative selves and get them on board with your mission. Unreal engine graphics make is a feast for the eyes and without spoiling the story, I am extremely impressed with the implementation. Only gripe is that the EULA is invasive, Remove that and I'd have given it a 5 star review.
