This is a fun adventure game! The first half hits a little stronger than the second, but that tends to be the case with thrillers; once the mysteries start being solved, some of the shine comes off. The emotional climax of the protagonist's story felt earned and compelling.

The puzzles are creative and fun, though tended to slant a little easy. I'm a veteran adventure game player, though by no means a genius, and there ere only a couple that I was stumped by for a few minutes, and there are points where there's a little too much "talk to this guy who says to talk to this guy who says to talk this guy" progression in some of the more open segments. There's no moon logic or "how the heck would I possibly know that" puzzles, the difficulty can tickle your brain rather than be complete stumpers.

Voice acting is great (it can be a little overwrought, but comes with the genre tone it's going for), the UI is very elegant (though the flashing notifications for plot updates can be a bit irritating) and the puzzles are never too obtuse. This is a great little entry into the modern adventure game genre! I checked this out because I loved their very different first game, Crawl, and look forward to seeing what they do next!

This is one of the most pure, unfiltered "speedy shooters" I've ever played. You slip into a zone shooting the weird abstract monsters, filing up your tiki idol health and always running always moving gotta get to the exit never stop keep moving shoot shoot shoot dodge keep moving don't stop aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What if you jammed caffeine into your veins and mainlined those 90's MTV abstract promos? You get this.

It's a better version of Among Us. It has all sorts of proximity chat and ghost chat that you have to mod Among Us for, more creative tasks, and a wide variety of maps with different themes.

The roles are fun and very well-balanced (and I usually don't like games with all sorts of crazy roles).

Plus, there's a fart button. Top tier.

It's really hard to define what's truly amazing about Inside without playing it. Despite its simple graphics, it's easily one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. The puzzles are challenging but never too hard. The story is deep when you look beneath the surface layer.

This is one of the best games I've ever played. Play it.

I recommend this game, but only if you want a pretty mindless 2D shooter. It's good twitchy fun, but aware of how dumb it is, and pretty content to be nothing more than that.

Remember Me is a tragic example of a game that has a tremendous amount of promise but is completely underdeveloped.

First, the positives. The graphics are absolutely beautiful, and the setting (a future version of Paris) is wholly original, with lots of bright clean colors, and the neat use of a HUD showing you where to go. The aesthetics are very pleasing and pretty!

Unfortunately, everything else is an absolute mess. The controls are solid, but the platforming is shamelessly ripped off of Prince of Persia, only there's just one path for every location. The combat is about the most tedious that I've ever seen in an action game. You make your own combos based off a single kick and punch button, and each type of attack can either heal you, increase your super bar, or do extra damage - and this sounds way more interesting than it actually is. It boils down to you making 3 combos out of all the ones that you could do, and repeating them endlessly for the game's entire runtime - and the fight layouts are sometimes done in the most frustrating way possible. Because some combos can heal you, you're forced to deal with bad guys that literally hurt you every time you hit them, and it as void of fun as it sounds like it is.


The story starts out interesting but quickly takes a downturn. It acts like it's going to be about the loss of identity, and what identity means to a person, but it quickly sidelines into yet another sci-fi conspiracy theory story, with bad guys SO depraved that they're practically like Looney Tunes villains. When it finally came to the utterly predictable plot twist at the end, I found myself having any sort of trouble caring. Which is bad, because not every game needs to be about the story, but when everything besides the visuals is either bad or so-so, your story needs to be AWESOME.


It's worth checking out on a sale (like I did), but overall this game is not worth the money you'd spend to play it. If you want to play a neat sci-fi setting, go play any of the Mass Effect's. If you want to play a game with great combat, go play the Batman Arkham games. There are other games that do anything this game tried to do better.
