I enjoyed playing In His Time. I have not finished it; I think I'm halfway, but the experience has been enjoyable so far. I found the colors and setting of the game to be very inviting and bright while playing with shades very nice. It was like watching a painting come to life, though the characters I would have liked to have a little more detail to them. They all seemed pretty much the same, so it was hard to know who was who if not for the name in the dialogue boxes.

The story is about Olly living his life but also dealing with personal struggles with his mom. I don't want to spoil anything as the connections of what he's dealing with and how he moves forward is the crux of the plot. Overall, I'm glad to see more games with a Christian worldview and being done well like In His Time. Also, the fact that it was done by a Japanese publisher and developer was interesting and I'm glad to see fellow Christians from a country I hope one day to visit being creative and bringing qualify games to market. God bless, and hope you all enjoy this one!

Enjoyed coming back to the MMX world in a different way. It starts off a bit slow but it gets better later. Definitely for fans of the series, but know it's a bit different.

I have not completed Rusted Moss yet, but I plan on getting further into it. So far, I am enjoying it but I do have some criticisms to lay out.

What I enjoy about the game is the fast-paced action where you have to be careful how you proceed or the enemies will make quick work of you. The areas are very different from each other, and the accompanying music matches well which can be challenging for some games to do. As someone who loves an engaging plot with character development, I didn't find much of that here as the story was more in the background and not interesting enough to focus on.

Where Rusted Moss lacks the most is in its controls and grappling hook ability. It's fun to be able to swing around and get to places quickly, as I could see professional speed runners putting their skills to the test here. The problem is if you aren't used to the feature it can be difficult to get through some areas.

I often spent more time in one section trying to swing past some spikes than getting through the stage. It made the game less enjoyable and at times I wanted just to quit and do something else, like write this review to not get tired of being impaled.

I would give Rusted Moss a chance if you have not played it as it is fun, but the difficulty certainly should be modified which I would find hard to pull off since the level design would have to be changed. It's a game that succeeds in making a pixelated platformer that tries to be a Metroidvania, but gets stuck in its own mechanics like the grappling.

For the time I've played this game, I have truly enjoyed the experience! This is the Christian game that many people have been wanting, whether they are believers or not. The way that it's a purely biblical game, yet gameplay is the main star. From getting into the story, characters, voice acting and challenges that the game throws at you it's really a fun ARPG.

Yes, it has some minor issues here and there but I'm sure they will get fixed with patches (like your party standing around not attacking or the game loading sometimes without sound, but that last one could have been my own laptop's issuse, not sure).

I highly recommend this game for ARPG fans, and for Christians, this is the game that you've been waiting for and complaining that didn't exist....

Fun RPG but the game play isn't anything exciting. The fanservice isn't necessary either. I do like the diaglouge, the characters are pretty funny.
