Oh boy, here we are 5.5 years later and this is barely a step forward from the Playable Teaser.

+ Environments are nice
+ Starting area has been expanded in a neat way
+ Some of the character's like Kirgo got some nice characterization.
+ um... yeah. Nothing really more.

- Everything is sluggish. From moving, to talking to character, to interacting with the world, to exploring, to using the menu. Holy moly it feels the whole game is submerged in molasses.
- The lighting and visual clutter makes it so incredibly hard to see points of interest and intractable objects.
- Diego's characterization is awful (yet again). Unreasonably hostile, abrasive and mean-spirited.
- Diego tells you not to steal their property yet you can giddily nick everything in front of his and Whistler's face.
- Controls are weirdly awkward. (C for diving, Space to resurface?!)
- Why does the game not pause when you're in the menu? This isn't Dark Souls.
- Dialogues are awkward, bloated and the timing sometimes is weirdly off
- Why can't I sprint while holding a torch?
- NPC vs. Wildlife interaction are incredibly buggered.
- Invisible Walls that prevent me from dropping myself off a cliff. :(
- Why make this Prologue about an established NPC from a Gothic NPC if you don't do anything with him? He could've been literally any other NPC or be completely nameless because he has no discernible character related to Nyras.


I hope that "Coming Soon" on the Gothic 1 Remake won't too soon, because this Demo shows that there are so many things wrong on a most basic level.
I wish Alkimia Interactive the best of luck because they sure got their work cut out for them.

PROSTAGMA?

If you have no idea who Bud Spencer & Terence Hill are and are looking for a good sidescroller Beat'em up game - then look elsewhere. Or better: go watch the legendary movies and then come back to this game.

This game is pure a nostalgia romp for people that grew up loving Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies and it does so quite well.
The game contains loads of classic songs from the movies, a story that's amalgamation of several movies and lots of nods and references to it to replicate the feel of a typical Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movie and succeeds at it mostly with a few exceptions of Bud and Terence's character sometimes be a little bit too one note and sometimes iffy dialogue.

The gameplay itself is passable, has a few fun ideas but doesn't overstay its welcome with it's 2.5-3 hour story mode. So definitely not worth the full price, but well worth on a sale it regularly goes on.

The Trine Games are great comfort games. A bit of light puzzling, some combat and taking in the gorgeous sights and wonderful music.
And Trine 5 is no different if not only improving on the well-known formula. A perfectly nice game for single and also Multiplayer.

Layers of Fear is to horror what McDonalds is to food.
It's a superficial amalgamation of popular horror tropes that stays deliberately vague to cover up the fact that there was not much thought put into it when they stitched that Frankenstein Monster of themes together.

What a nice christmas gift. <3

Its... something, I guess?

Trine has always been one of my favorite franchises since the very first game. They are just... neat.
It's hard to explain, but I feel like these games just encapsulate the Indie/Double A spirit. They may not use the most cutting edge technology or offer the most gameplay variety, but they are such a nice, relaxing and enchanting experienceto play. It's basically the "Your nan baking you cookies" of games.

And the fourth game is no exception to it.
After the unfortunate shortcoming of the third game in its length and rather iffy designs in 3D, the series goes back to its 2.5D roots and its strengths: smart, but not too tough puzzles, pretty neat combat and just a absolutely incredible atmosphere with gorgeous landscapes, whimsiness everywhere and a bit of charm from the characters make the game a perfect 10 hour romp I can heartily recommend for an relaxing experience.

... or dumb-fun chaos if you decide to play in co-op.

While the game is far from any stretch of the imagination bad, I can't really see much reason to recommend it either.

It's definitely a product of its time with many mechanics that feel nowadays either gimmicky and/or obnoxious, which are in current games either expanded to a fully fleshed out mechanic or changed to be actually fun. Like the constant scrounging for resources and XP by shooting random wildlife or the overreliance on Quicktime events with badly illustrated button queues and those "epic sequences" that just involves the player holding the movement key in the required direction.

Most of the characters in the game are also rather bland and forgettable.
Lara being the worst of them all, since she merely reacts to things that are happening. Getting bossed around by either people or mother nature which seems to have some incredibly sick hatred towards her since even random pinetrees will impale her british belly the moment she gets too close. I'm in general rather unsure why Cristal Dynamics decided to make her suffering so incredibly graphic - it almost borders on the fetishistic angle really.

In the end: not a bad game, but doesn't excel or has anything unique to it that makes still worth playing nowadays.

It's cute little game in the likes of Ballance or Marble Madness.
Entertains for a few hours, the level design is decent though the varierty is pretty slim. Also had a few irritating bugs, where my screen went completely black and forced me to restart the level.

But for a few bucks you can't really complain too much about it.
