Mashiro Iro Symphony is a classic that has finally got not only a n English Localization, but also the once PSP Exclusive Sana Route (*mutsu no hana , leaving Yutsuki as the only exclusive now). It's the classic Moege you'd expect, but also an overall solid experience thanks to a strong cast. While the heroines defintely steal the show, the supporting cast and the main character are enjoyable (maybe Shingo is a bit "too perfect", definitely better in Miu and especially Ange's routes though)

Sana Edition simply includes an expanded version of Sana's route from *mutsu no hana. With new CGs and additional scenes, and you can easily tell by the CG art or quality of the audio. All in all a solid route for one of the more beloved character in the story.
Sana Edition also includes the prologue for the main game, thus making it a valid alternative over the Remake for HD, especially if you're only interested in reading Sana's route.

Truth to be told, the focus on her brother Rio does take a toll on the Route imho (to be frank I could barely stand him up until Shing and Sana started dating). And well, I thnk that the dynamic between Sana and Rio could have been written and explored in a far better way than what was actually delivered.(mostly to benefit Rio).

Still, extremely glad I could finally read Mashiro Iro Symphony after all these years and Shiravune "localization" this time wasn't as bad as people make it to be (seriously, go read Kamiyaba without the patch, ugh). Though reading "Panditty" did irk me quite a bit.

There's hoping for a new Moege by Palette, with the apparent conclusion on 9-Nine (well, there's a spinoff in the work). Now, if only SP could manage to bring Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi and other Feng VNs by the end of 2030 , aand NN Dracu-riot! I would be extremely grateful...

Do yourself a favour and avoid it. The game need a complete overhaul to be honest.

First of all graphic wise it looks like UE 2004 rather than UE4, models for the named girls are okay but the rest it's straight up from 2004. More often than not texture won't be loaded so you'll have certain type of texture being completely blurry. And let's not talk about animation during cutscenes, not only the characters are mostly still and cycle through idle animation but the motions are keen to what a kid would do when playing with low articulation toys.

Technical level, the game despite the dated graphic runs like ass, there's tons of microstuttering and crash plenty. Moreover one of the most annoying things is that if you don't hit "return" in the settings any change you do won't take effect and the game is prone to crash if you enter the "information" menu, which is your inventory that you usually check to see missing fragments for skins and healing items. And the game takes a while to load after each crash. Not to mention, the achievements are either bugged or simply require less than required but others won't unlock.

Gameplay wise. the game story is the classic good guy (girls in this case) are bad and the baddies are actually good and your lost family (sorta), defeat villain=story end in a pretty confusing and uninspired setting. The enemy variety is poor and despite you having 3 weapons, generally sticking to the scythe is more than enough for the whole game,except occasional use of the dual blade/chains. As already mentioned, animations are woody and often your character will cancel the animation without executing some of the attacks. It's really nothing exciting and it's more a button mash, besides there are some attacks with high combo hit that stagger enemies so you'll be prone to stick to those.

Environment is really forgettable with very poor execution, with invisible walls and unfinished area with texture holes in it, and it's obvious that most of the focus went into modeling the named girls. There's also a minigame at 3/4 of the game that you may want to play just to unlock the missing pieces for the good and evil school girl uniform. It's a rather simple timed button press minigame and I suppose that was the "sexual content", although there's nothing on screen and it's really a farfetched thought, it's more comical than anything remotely lewd (well if you ignore the creepy poses and faces they do). The only decent thing about the game is that it has voiced acting (at least japanese) for the price, but it's really wasted on how bad the cutscenes are with no animation,generic type of dialogues and there's plenty of times where a character (the ghost accompanying Aya) will talk and talk forever about things that can be explained in just a few words.

The game is in a state that makes you really rethink if it even has hit the early acess period. The developers have already moved on onto other projects and the game will be basically abandonware. Not even at a discounted price I'm feeling okay to recommend it. There are plenty of cheap and actually better made indie games out there, go check those instead.

By the way most of the positive reviews are such because of simping, yep the developer was a single girl, but that shouldn't excuse the glaring issues this game has.

Blood is back, thanks to the guys at Nightdive Studios!

Part of the Holy Trinity of the Build Engine, Blood focus on the horror genre, and oh boy! The atmosphere in most of the levels is really charming yet tense, heavily helped by the various sounds and the soundtrack. Set in an unspecified period between the late 19th and the early 20th century, the player take role of Caleb, once a commander of the cult "The Cabal", seeking for revenge after being betrayed and killed by the God, Tchernobog, he once worshipped.

Caleb will go through 4 Episodes + 2 (Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage), in which he'll face several enemies, undeads, cultists, hellhounds, gill beasts, gargoyles etc. ending each Episodes with a Boss Fight. On highest difficulties you'll also have troubles with your typical cultist as they'll mercilessly throw everything at you! So it's a good thing to learn soon what their weaknesses are or what weapons are the best against certain enemies! Overall the difficulty in Plasma Pak is huge compared to the 4th episode, but it also manages to be the most satysfying episode!

Speaking of weapons, there are a good variety, from your typical melee, throwing ,shotgun and rifle to the much obscure magical ones all including a secondary fire mode(except the pitchfork)! The weapons are all really fun to use and some even quite original, they'll keep you entertained the whole time as Blood is quite challenging at times, you'll also will find enough situations to use most of them, as certain weapons will give a better result than another.

Level design is top notch, quite polished and unique! Tons of secrets and funny easter eggs that will manage to get a smile out of you! Blood also sports a customizable Co-op mode to go across teh various episodes, and the Bloodbath, your typical deathmatch! For several hours of fun.

The game DOES suffer from issues from times to time, but the developers are really passionate about Blood and release fixes as well as beta updates. Keep in mind that updating will cause to corrupt your saves, so keep that in mind when an update is available (and uncheck the always updated option for Blood).

Crudux Cruo!

Edit: Unfortunately, it seems that the online community is pretty much dead by now (no pun intended). Well you can still manage to gather up some friends and have some fun together in co-op or deathmatch, considering for how cheap it goes and how often it is bundled in bundle sites, it could result in an accessible yet fun option!
Edit 2: Yep in 2021 things didn't change at all unfortunately :(
Edit 3: Of course nothing changed in 2022 ...
Edit 4: 2023... I hope to rope some of my friends to play it together.

Remember the cake is a lie! Portal 2 is what a sequel should be, better in every regard without moving too far away from its root! Brace yourself to explore Aperture Science's ruins and uncover the hidden truths on the company rise and downfall!

One word: Awful

It's not even a simulator, it's a show! You just sit there and watch famous names in the history or custom ones, wandering around until they die on a land mine. There's a few tweakings just like deploying events or feed people, but those aren't really necessary. The game's fun for about 5 minutes.

That said, despite this UA game having lots of issues, is undeniably better than the other UA game on steam...... I'm serious, Sam

I read most of the review and saw most of the people whining about how short the game is or that it doesn't even start (people still believe macbook are suited for gaming...)

Well I must admit that the main story is quite short and sometimes pretty repetitive. But honestly the main story is pretty decently narrated, and those 5 hours of game are really satisfing. The real problem people have is that the real ending (not accepting the pill) leave you with more questions than answers. That is why the player feels that the story is really short. Take for example Tomb Raider 2013, that game can be finished in less than 10 hours with over 50% of the achievements, leaving only the other 50% related to the long multplayer mode but no one complainy how easy or how short the game is, while most of the people unhappy with the lenght of the Darkness II range from 5 to 14 hours with 30-40% of the achievements completed, and haven't even touched the Vendettas missions. Basically don't take them too seriously, they just have touched the game surface.

Well returning to the game, as said above, the story is pretty decently narrated, even though it's easily predictable. The characters are more or less good, surely Jackie's Darkling is the best along Johnny Powell! The enemies AI isn't brilliant, but at least they take cover is using ranged weapons and their combination make them a good match for our antihero. The game follows the basic clichè of the Italian-american mafia, but it's not gross because it fits very well the deception made by Darkness to fool us (and our antihero) that Jackie is mad and he's a patient in the asylum, where he confuse reality with fantasy and transport the people around him in one of the 2 possible reality. The state of confusion of the main character is really well done, and the first time we play in the asylum it really seems that Estacado is mad, which may lead to the false ending if we accept the pill, it really resemble the pill scene in Matrix, where Neo is asked to stay or leave the illusion of Matrix. The main villains, aren't the best honestly they just want to be important, but you end up forgetting them easily as they are pretty anonymous, bad villain development.The gameplay is pretty solid, there is a decent customization thanks to the abilities that Jackie can access to, even if you literally run out of ammo and surely end up taking weapons from the ground; the light & dark system is a really nice idea to make the game more interesting. One of the things I really liked are the relics, some of them can be easily left behind so unless you're willing to play the game again (really recomended at Don difficulty in new game+) you should take a guide. The relics collected can be viewd in the main story game, once Johnny Powell is in jackie's mansion. Each description is read by Johhny Pawell (with his mad talking) and give you some interesting info about the Darkness, Angelus, Brotherhood and some biblical figures , a really well done addition to the game.

Other than the main story, there is the Vendettas mode, in which we can play one of the four secondary character, each with their own story revealed little by little during the game. This mode is designed for being played in coop, but you can play it alone as well even if it may result in being less fun. The Vendettas mode, is divided in story mode, which follow a parallel story in which you'll be hired by Vinnie to defend Jackie from a possible weapon that can kill him, as well as by hitting strongly a branch of the Brotherhood, and bounty where you have to find and annihilate some strong villains. Each secondary character has his own pool of abilities as well as a unique weapon that partially imbued with Darkness power. They have a fraction of Jackie's abilities, but some of them may access to stronger versions. I choosed as my main Shoshanna with her Arm of the Night( a sawn-off shotgun), as her powerfull weapon can be used by itself( while the other have to use their unique weapons in dual mode) and in dual mode is devastating especially if used with gun channeling ability.


I really liked the game and overall is a really good one with good characters, an interesting story and good levels, despite some bad choices of the developers, low difficulty, not outstanding AI and a mediocre replay value.But I have to agree with some of the negative reviewers, saying that the game is expensive, as it is really expensive for 30€. 2K is really bad at keeping their game price up to date, I mean the first Bioshock still cost 20€.... so take it only during steam sales.

Honestly i think that this game deserve 7,9 / 10


P.S: I actually got all the achievements

Well, I'm going to be honest, I've never played any classic FPS games at their release time as I had my first access to a my own computer back in 2009. And I'm regretting to have wasted time on free to play games; I recently started playing all those Build Engine based games and Blood surely is my favourite!

First of all the level design is amazing, so much different locations all well done and fitting to the game genre with tons of easter eggs to the horror genre that made me enjoy even as a non-fan of this genre. One downside is that in some levels you can skip some parts or obtain easily keys by using the jump boots.

The main character, Caleb, easily overcome the most famous Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. He's charismatic, he's a psycho, he's mysterious. Caleb isn't the classic good guy pwning horde of enemies, he was an elite cultist of the Cabal cult before getting betrayed by the cult god himself. In searching for revenge he'll kill everyone who tries to slow him down no matter what appear on his way, civilians as well. In this jurney Caleb will entertain you with his catchy dark humor phrases. But he'll show a more human side when he'll find his loved one lifeless body, unlikely Duke or Lo Wang

The weaponry are awsome and various by type and all have a secondary attack. You'll also have access to a selection of tools that may help you, just like the Medic Bag, Jumping Boots etc. Your first weapon will be the Pitchfork which will come handy even in further levels.

the Sawed Off Shotgun the most versatile weapon of the game, it's effective against any you surely ends up using it most of the time.

Flare Gun is capable of burning any enemy made of flesh in 2 seconds if hitted correctly.

Thompson is the alternative to the Sawed Off as it's very accurate at high distance(perfect to blow up barrels) and it come handy with the secondary attack if you're surrounded by a lot of enemies.

Aereosol Can is a sort of flamethrowner for short range and as well as Dynamite and Proximity & Remote Detonator can be used to blow up group of enemies and can be launched at a fair distance.

Napalm Launcher is the never missing missile launcher, but it actually fire flaming globs and exploding napal

Tesla Cannon, well Tesla means that it fires electric charges, it's the most powerful weapon of the game thanks to its high rate of fire and massive damages. It's a good thing keeping it only for Boss and mini-boss

Vodoo Doll is a magical weapon capable of hurting enemies but it will hurt you if there isn't any in your sight. It's quite useful but it can be used only few times before depleting.

Life Leech is a magical staff that inflict massive damage and if you run out of ammo, it will use your blood as ammo!

Edit: Now that Fresh Supply is out, get that instead!

One of the most horrible things that may happen in the gaming world.The copy paste syndrome is one those things I can't stand at all.

Any Reason to buy?
100% Steam Trading Card
or gift it to people you hate, nothing more

This game is great!

If you're trying to find an good co-op game to play with your friends, then I highly recommend you Magicka. The main story may not be very long, but Versus and Challenge add more hours of fun. This game require coop but it's not a vital point, you can adopt some tactics or just spam magicks everywhere to hit enemies. Even though you may need some minutes to figure out which are the best combinations using the basics powers, but the best practice is trying them on your enemies, or your friends! One of the best thing about this game are the Easter Eggs, those are everywhere and may include weapons, characters, quotation and Steam achievements.

You'll definitively like it, also you still have 7 days(regarding review day) to get it for 1$ on Humble Bundle with a bunch of dlc ,some other dlc/games and a good action for the donation, so hurry up
