destruction gud

all my childhood i wanted to play this game, and for some reason i never got it.
years later i bought it in a sale, and after simmering in the pile of shame for a while i finally got around to playing it.
it pretty much delivered everything i was hoping for.

+ smooth first person parkour experience
+ decent controls once you get the hang of it
+ still looks beautiful
+ neat, concise story (6-8 hours to finish)
+ runs perfect on the steam deck if you disable physx
+ no leveling, character progression or any content bs

~ combat system is kinda meh, but you don't have to use it a lot

8/10, get it before does EA does EA things

hades is roguelike isometric dungeon crawler where you're the son of hades trying to escape the similarly named greek hell.

+ super smooth gameplay
+ nice progression
+ more than enough content
+ huge variety in weapons and playstyles
+ great writing

- completing the story felt a bit chore-y, but afterwards it has endless replay value so i guess this doesn't matter

9/10

13 years after playing the original game, i finally got around to play the coop.
it's as good as everyone says, just get it.

Crimes and Punishments is a fun, short detective game in the Sherlock Holmes where you solve 6 short cases. The game's chore mechanic is walking around and finding clues, interviewing people, and connecting evidence/clues to form deductions. each case ends with you naming a suspect, the method of committing the crime, and a moral choice of what to do with them.

+ nice victorian vibe
+ still looks decent
+ distinct cases
+ some cases from the books
+ well-suited for steam deck
+ no bugs (aside from being not compatible with external controllers on steam deck)
+ each case is a story in itself, running at 1-2h. perfect for an evening gaming session

~ short and easy puzzles. suited me well, but if you want a challenge, look elsewhere.
~ ok minigames. not the most innovative stuff, but not annoying either.
~ sherlock is closer to the books than in most other recent adaptions, but there is still some discrepancy

- it's a bit more railroady than i'd like a sherlock holmes game to be
- the gameplay is not all that novel, beyond the deduction (at which you can't fail)

all in all a solid game and a good choice if you're a fan of sherlock holmes, 7/10

in carry onward you follow the story of thomas who, well, without spoiling, has to carry on.
i like short, narrative games that feature emotional stories and try to support small devs, but in this case, i unfortunately can't recommend the game.

+ no bugs or technical issues
+ looks fine (with default polygon assets tho)
+ story is in itself ok

- the writing is not good enough to carry the non existant gameplay
- the voice acting is flat
- it's a 20 minute game, which makes 5 € definitely excessive

if this was a game jam entry, i'd applaud it. as a full game, it unfortunately falls short.
@ andrey: i don't mean to bash you, it's still well-made. maybe get some support on the game dev aspects that aren't your forte.

south scrimshaw is a thrilling and emotional visual-novel-style documentary following the journey of a young (fictional) brillo whale. beautiful hand-drawn images and calm narration illustrate a wonderfully alien aquatic world, that is very similar to ours but also very different. even though the gameplay consists of pretty much just clicking through the linear story, i got hooked by the great story and imaginative ocean environment.

+ fascinating, literally wonderful world
+ stunning imagery
+ very good writing, both in terms of story and the way it's narrated
+ creative concept
+ free
+ occasional meme-worthy pictures

literally no cons, definitely recommend.

in golf club nostalgia, you play a pilot living on mars returning to earth to golf through the ruins of our previous civilization.

+ the world building is great
+ it looks very nice
+ the soundtrack is dope and perfectly suited

~ the social critique is quite on the nose, but still valid and neatly framed

- oh my god the golf mechanics are horrible. how do you ♥♥♥♥ up this badly on the one ONE mechanic in the game. the charge up inconsistency is frustrating, estimating the distance is way too difficult, and the some surfaces are way too slick.

play it on eays mode (without par requirements) to avoid getting frustrated at the mechanics.
6/10

fun & cute little shooter, fast paced, super simple.
if you're not into speedrunning you probably won't replay it, so the full 10 bucks for about an hour of gameplay might be a bit much.
on the other hand the loading screens are already worth the money

surrealistic soviet simulator. fun, short, story focused game where you try to get out of a desolate town. lots of parkouring, fun vibe, very enjoyable.
