Mainframe Defenders

An excellent game

Top Down, strategic indie title. Hearkens back to arcade days without sacrificing modern convenience. Has depth, good video filters, detailed balancing and atmospheric music. Well worth the price, is a steal at the discount.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

The Remaster Turok Deserves

This remaster has kept the sound, feel and look of the original but with some rough edges smoothed other thanks to modern rendering techniques. The motion blur, anisotropic filtering and lighting effects along with widescreen resolution support mean this game can be played in a way that really does credit to the original. While the textures remain the same as before, and the game is essentially the same, it feels so much better to play. Finally, a pc port of the original turoks that doesn't feel like a cheap and nasty rush. I would know because I used to own the original pc port. This plays far better and I cannot recommend this enough to turok fans.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl - Enhanced Edition

Crashes

Refuses to work, just crashes upon startup. Tried multiple wine versions, but got the same issue. The original works fine so there really is no excuse for this.

Starcom: Nexus

Excellent!

A fantastic adventure game that is essentially no-man's sky without the planetary exploration and with a better story!

HROT

An Excellent Retro Shooter

This game is like Quake and STALKER put together. A very grim atmosphere, gritty textures that hearken back to simpler gaming times like half-life 1 & Soldier of Fortune 1. A dark ambient track that is creepy without being uncomfortable. A fast paced gameplay mechanic with kicking, shotguns and running everywhere blasting away. And in between the run&gun there are little nods to soviet politics, notes to find, collectables and grenades to throw. While the price seems a little steep, it's certainly worth playing.

GRIS

Boring

This game clearly attempts to be artistic and emotional, but falls completely flat on both accounts. The musical score wasn't bad, nor was the art-style, but there was absolutely no emotional connection with the 'events' if you can call them that. It is a walking simulator with blue hair and some childish attempts at emotional moments which completely misunderstand how to actually achieve them. I could barely bring myself to 'play' this 'game'. Though really it's just an interactive movie with sketch-art and some piano.

Tyranny - Standard Edition

A fantasticly rendered and told RPG

I was dubious, but took the plunge and do not regret it. General: Very few games have drawn me in and given me such levels of choice. This game kept me playing for hours without even considering doing anything else. Worth the money. Graphics: This game is of the same quality as Pillars of Eternity, or Tides of Numeria in graphical terms. No excessive ray-tracing or unneeded frivolities concerning SSAO or anything of that nature. It runs extremely well on my mini-pc at full resolution and 4x AA etc. No problems at all. Sound: Voice acting is used sparingly, but is of superb quality and always interesting to hear. Congrats to the atmospheric sound choices and often overlooked combat sounds. No complaints at all. Story: The character creation, and introductory background choices is extremely good. You are offered a series of events to participate in that shape your experience in game. The choices are text-based decisions and the results of your options are shown, impacting your faction relations and sculpting your history before play. You can choose quick-play to skip this, but I was very entertained and interested in choosing my own brand of character, which wasn't forced into the narrow band of Good vs Evil. Instead, your decisions are related to real-life situations which I was delighted with. You are a somewhat blank slate and this was very well crafted. I shan't say more to avoid ruining the story itself. Gameplay: Top-down, RPG with space-bar pause mechanic. Spell creation through selecting runes which you gather throughout the game, posessing both melee spells, ranged and arc of effect etc. Combat is tried and true with a tutorial that doesn't treat you like a child and is simply a series of situation-appropriate text boxes you can skip if so desired. Misc: I was running this in linux using wine and had 0 issues which is always nice to see. Hope to see more games like this.

Necromunda: Hired Gun

Excellent

Given the scrutiny automatically garnered from possessing the stigma of 'A 40K game' and it's subsequent expectations, this delivers well. Voice acting, game-play, story; all elements are acceptable justifications to run around and shoot things with a Warhammer theme. While this is not a technical landmark, nor anything particularly innovative, it is a very good game in and of itself. I have encountered no bugs, nor performance problems beyond what I would expect of my hardware. If I were pressed to make a comparison, I would say it is what you would get if you blended 40k with Ghostrunner. Lots of wallrunning, climbing, jumping and gunning. Generally, I'd say if you come to it without expectations, you'll be pleasently surprised with how solid of a game this is. It checks all the boxes a modern FPS is required to check, right down to the melee-kill-animations and slide-dodging. Certainly, it's worth the sale price, but likely not the full price. So, if it's on sale and you meet the minimum specs you are likely in for a fun, shooty time.
