Relatively short, incredibly atmospheric first person puzzler.
You wont be too bamboozled so you can focus on the wonderful environment and great atmosphere.
Big time Alien/ Alien: Isolation vibes - really goes for tension and i'd say succeeds.
looks great too so probably don't get your hopes up if you're running old tech

Overall, its got great atmosphere and visuals, really creepy vibe, some interesting (though light) gameplay - for a 30 minute free game you wont find many better than this.

***Got it from a humble bundle - not sure i'd be happy if i'd bought it - definitely wouldnt get it at full price.***

It was an interesting, fairly enjoyable 15-20 minutes with some nice areas and small set pieces although im a big walking sim fan so i was always going to like it.
As always, Chris Reno's music is fantastic and the game was definitely interesting - i even learned a little about aerodynamics and the physics of flight.

Theres almost no gameplay and a lot of story threads dont really get an ending or even make much sense off the bat.

Though released in 2005 F dot E dot A dot R holds up incredibly well even in 2016 with smooth gunplay and excellent mechanics. Definitely the best in the series with 2 solid DLCs.
More than anything its just ridiculous bombastic fun with some genuinely creepy sections and excellent world and level design.

A tense and well thought out small survival horror game that does interesting things with player action or the lack thereof. The organic puzzle solving is a welcome addition in an age of incredibly basic puzzles with cookie cutter solutions. Art and soundtrack are pretty damn nice and help add to the generally well thought out gameplay.
While it does have some bugs any I experienced were incredibly minor and the game ran pretty perfectly. It's a game built with passion and it shows in the detail in both the art and choice system.

I recieved it in a humble bundle but i think you could do a lot worse with your £7 and in a sale its a solid investment.
Unusually for small spur of the moment games i'm fully planning on doing multiple other playthroughs to try out different actions and maybe with less accidental murder.

Overall a solid game worth multiple playthroughs and built both with charm and detail.

An excellent way to spend 5-10 minutes. Moirai is incredibly short but surprising, full of charm and entirely worth the small amount of time it takes to download and play.

I'll leave this review to push the game out of the "Mixed" reviews label as it is a tremendous, if short soundtrack.
Although That is reflected in the low asking price of £2 individually or £1 extra for the soundtrack edition.
For the price of a song or two off Itunes or the Google play store, i'd say this soundtrack is more than worth it.

A fantastic little point and click detective game with charming art and music along with characters and locations you just cant help but want to find out about. It's well designed and written it's simply a joy to play through.
The achievements are also incredibly easy to get if that is a selling point for some.

Overall a fantastic little game and a great way to spend 2-3 hours.

DO NOT BUY THE STARTER EDITION UNLESS YOU WANT TONS OF GRIND OR TO PAY ABOUT THE SAME AS THE BASE PRICE TO GET THE SAME CONTENT.
The Starter edition sounds enticing but means the base game ops are over 10x the most expensive price they are in Standard edition (gameplay points).
Just get the standard edition - its unlikely you'll regret it.


Crashing through windows
making a risky play
Over the shields we go
Laughing all the way
bells on gadgets ring
Staying out of sight
What fun it is to fight and sing
a seiging song tonight

Oh
Jingle bells
Shotgun shells
Blowing the doorway
Oh what fun
it is to fight
In a snowy french chalet, Hey!
Jingle Bells, Shotgun shells
Blowing the doorway
Oh what fun
it is to light
A thermite charge and run...away


Its just bloody excellent - its a gaming experience like no other. Stupid amounts of fun especially with friends.

The focus on destruction and countering other players either directly or indirectly means that a 5v5 game with a relatively low map pool can feel much, much bigger.
No round will ever play out the same - the lack of ability to reinforce or barricade everything leads to a careful balancing act of watching angles, keeping an eye on walls and doors and listening out for any telltale sounds, and sound really is the most important factor here - with sound mechanics that take a while to get used to but will leave you wondering why every other game doesnt use something similair.

In the 2 years since release the community has soured somewhat with a lot of just horrible CS:GO kids coming over so its not out of the ordinary to see racist abuse and homophobic rants in the text chat. Though aside from a few bad eggs the community is still quite good - people will help out newbies and congratulate other teams almost every game.
The new maps and operators that have been added since release have mixed up metas and added great new mechanics - and White Noise looks like its going to be one of the best seasons yet.

Its an excellent game - if you're not sure about the full price it goes on sale relatively frequently on steam and even more often on Uplay.
I've been playing since the alpha in mid 2015 and i'm still loving it - and i'm not really one to stick with a specific game this much.
