Super speed vehicles and total mayhem! What else to say!

Simple and fun game!

Simple but fun game with it's own style! I like it!

Fun for a little while but it is boring and repetitive!

Really like the game so far, it is fun and addictive !

I think it is time to play Out Of Reach, explore the unknown and try to survive as long as possible. But what is Out Of Reach? It is an indie survival game where you’re a castaway stranded in the middle of nowhere. The storm is gone, the worst certainly not. Look for food and resources, craft gear, make a shelter. These are the basics; you will need much more to stay alive on this cut-off-the-world, yet not desert island. Build and burn, sail and explore, stay alive for as much as possible.

The first things that I loved in this game and I think you all will be impressed are definitely the graphics of the game. Really smooth framerate, amazing optimization and a breathtaking world. The environment of Out Of Reach is amazing. A large vivid world full of animals and places to explore like underwater caves is available for the player. Another positive aspect in my opinion is that the game is massive multiplayer online and support and large number of players simultaneously in the game map. So, expect pvp action, surviving with your friends and facing dangers together against not only animals but other groups of people as well.

The RPG elements are a positive aspect in my opinion as well. You can develop your characters the way you want with skills (active and passive) and you can gain level of achievements too. Of course in this game like the other survival games you will face hunger and exhaustion. Elements that make the game even more challenging. Another positive for me is the huge variation of animals you will encounter from rhinos to dears and tigers. Their AI and response to your actions are good which makes hunting even more demanding. The crafting system is also good and more physics friendly! You can even built ballistas and other siege weapons.

As far as the negative aspects are concerned, first and foremost the community is not that active. The US servers are really active but the EU servers not so much. There are even times especially in the morning when there are only 2 people playing the game. The game also lacks characteristics to help it be distinguished from other survival games that more or less offer the same aspects. The layout of the crafting in my opinion is not friendly to the player you have to scroll down to find what you want. It would be better if it was like a notebook for example (The Forrest). Also I would love to see more animals in game and in order to make it more realistic don’t put all the animals in the same place. Sometimes there were rhinos, tigers and dears in the same place!

To sum up, despite the game being still in Alpha it offers a great experience. The negative aspects will not stop you from having fun in the game and I totally recommend it. I think the devs are moving in the right direction.

Verdict: 7,5/10

My review for Armello as posted on: http://www.grabthegames.com/preview-armello.html

A digital board game like no other, it really feels like Game of Thrones but with animals. The first aspect that I loved about this game is that is not a simple board game but it has a solid and interesting story that makes the game experience even better! Moreover, the game features beautiful graphics and a really captivating soundtrack and in game music as well. The game is also fast with a high replay value. The day and night cycle is a great addition to the game with both of these cycles affecting the game play. Everything is also so beautiful in this game from the animated cards that will be more than 100 in the game to the captivating board of the title. Furthermore, the game has a lot of heroes to choose from that each one represent a different clan. Each clan representative has different set of skills, advantages and weaknesses with more to come when the final version of the game will be out. The heroes are also highly customizable with rings and amulets with impressive attribute. The title also features a dynamic sandbox. This means that every game you play will not be the game as the previous one because the maps and the quests are randomly generated. However, there are some negative aspects that I should mention. The biggest one for me is it lacks a good tutorial; I found it hard to get used to the title but after two or three games you will be able to learn it easily. To sum up, if you love gorgeous games and tabletop title this is the game you must pick up without second thought. Totally recommend it despite the negative aspect. It has a great feature and more content will be implemented in the near feature.

Verdict: 8.5/10

+graphics
+customization
+sandbox aspect
+day and night cycle
+100+ animated cards

-desperately needs a better tutorial

A small decent shooter but unfortunately with extremely limited stages and ships! There are only 3 stages , 4 with the bonus stage.... It is not an easy shooter, it has a high replay value and it is easy to pick up. For 1 euro, i don't see what you have to loose
Just give it a go!

If they fix the game and i am able to launch it ,i would happily write a better steam review... but until then....stay away unless you are 100% certain that the game will be playable on your PC!

This game is simply amazing! I totally recommend it to everyone! Not only to the players that are Warhammer maniacs but also to every who loves good and unique games!

To begin with , the game is more than a simple chess game. Chess is more or less predictable but in Regicide this is not the case. With unique set of abilities and choices... you will not be sure what to expect from your enemies and until the final move everything is on!

Another thing i love in this game for sure is the environment and the graphics that are simply amazing. The game also offers both single player and multiplayer action with a lot of modes and aspects that will sure keep you busy and can satisfy even the most demanding players.

For an EA title the game is really stable and it will receive regular updates and more content.
Can't wait to play the campaign as well! I can see all the hard work of the devs and as a black knight i couldn't be more proud of this game and its release! The price is also really reasonable for what it has to offer.

Another thing that it is worth mentioning is that every chess piece has its own unique voice and lines which is really incredible.

If that was not enough the game features a set of killing moves/finishes of your enemies and the camera close up is really really astonishing.

All the models are really high detailed , the environments are really vivid and it is incredible that as close you get with the camera the details remain high and this aspect left me speechless!

The AI of the enemy is really amazing and even on normal it will be very challenging to beat it so don't expect a easy fight!

The UI is really good, clean and with a lot of details and helpful tips that introduces the players easily to the game

This game is the evolution of chess and a great introduction to the Warhammer universe!

This is not war...THIS IS REGICIDE! And YOU can be part of it!

The Black Knights salute you!
