Forever Labour of Love.

There are games, and then there are digital pieces of art. 10/10

Simple in mechanics and relatively short (about 6 hours for a detailed playthrough), this piece serves on the immersive thriller genre. The game clearly knows its style and identity while presenting an unique insight into the job of a radio host. With brilliant voice acting, intriguing twists and puzzles, it is hard not to go through the entire play in one sitting. If you enjoy a good story that also allows you enough freedom for you to play around, this is a must buy. One thing is guaranteed, you will never listed to a radio host the same.

I always wanted to be a cat.

I really wished to like this game but there are so many issues with it that makes it hardly unplayable. All my runs got eventually stuck somewhere because certain things would not happen and I could not progress forward due to it. The game should not have been released in this state and from what I noticed the devs stopped trying to fix it either so it is a total "no buy".

Simple recipe of a good indie game:

original concept (no matter how strange) + well defined execution (sticking to the identity of it) = a great laid back gaming experience.

10 / 10

The game was released in 2011 but people are still playing it and the devs are still adding content to it and all of that is happening for a reason.

Started playing SMITE back when it was first released in beta. Since then I've played a lot of multiplayer games but somehow I always ended up coming back to SMITE. As a competitive gamer I can say that SMITE is the only multiplayer game I can just lay back and enjoy while solo queuing. The community is mostly nice (obviously all games have their exceptions) and the game has a nice feel to it. The gods have some pretty unique and interesting mechanics and they are overall quite well balanced (some take more skill to master). Although I stopped playing the classic, Conquest, map since they first revamped it after the beta (the lanes seem too large compared to the initial map and the jungle is a maze) I found a lot of fun playing the other modes such as Arena (5 v 5 arena brawl), Joust (3 v 3) and Assault (all mid / all random) which have some really nice map design each. (feeling sad that Arena cannot be played as ranked, the idea of the mode is quite unique and nice). Another thing that I love about SMITE is the free content, over the years I acquired more than 50 skins without paying a single penny, that's noice.

What I would add in the end:
Give it a try, it deserves more player base.

Amongst all the multiplayer games out there, none of them feel as personal as Dota feels.
You can really express yourself through this game without any limitations, as it offers countless possibilities and ways of approaching it.

Making CS:GO free was the best way Valve promoted CS 1.6 and Source. Props to that.

See you on 1.6 everybody.
