Nihilumbra PC Game Reviews

Nihilumbra

Nihilumbra is one of those games that is hard to put down once you start playing. The stylish hand painted visuals along with some excellent creature designs give the game a visual flair of its own while the brilliant narration and moody soundtrack sucks you into the gameworld. Things start off deceptively easy but, once you unlock Void mode, you better be prepared to put all your skills to the test.

Gameplay: A charming mixture of platforming and puzzle solving.

Graphics: The hand painted visuals are stylish and enhances the atmosphere.

Sound: Brilliant narration and a moody soundtrack

Moebius: Empire Rising PC Game Reviews

Moebius: Empire Rising

There is no doubt that Moebius: Empire Rising is not going to be a game that everyone will enjoy. The lead character alone will probably rub most people the wrong way and the character models are also far from cutting edge. Despite this it has a very interesting storyline and if you get hooked you will definitely want to see it through to the end. I enjoyed my time with Moebius and would absolutely love to see a sequel that fleshes out the story even more.

Gameplay: Easy puzzles make the game accessible to newcomers and it is entertaining despite some flaws.

Graphics: Nice backgrounds but the character models and animation let things down a bit.

Sound: Good voice acting and an absolutely brilliant soundtrack

Long Live The Queen PC Game Reviews

Long Live The Queen

Long Live The Queen makes for a nice change of pace and is one of those titles that you will probably end up playing way longer than expected. It has a lot of replay value and once you are hooked you will want to see everything that it has to offer. Don’t let the cute visuals fool you into thinking this title is aimed purely at the female demographic.

Gameplay: A unique blend of styles that make for a engrossing and addictive experience.

Graphics: I love the visual style, but found myself wishing for some animations.

Sound: Some soothing piano tunes

Knightmare Tower PC Game Reviews

Knightmare Tower

In this entertaining and action-packed game, players must break through ceilings, rescue princesses, and escape boiling lava. The gameplay is polished to a fine sheen and will keep you busy until you have conquered the tower and unlocked every item. The only problem is that afterward, you will be left wanting more.

Gameplay: The game is very accessible and very, very addictive, but the lack of mouse support is puzzling.

Graphics: The visuals are colorful and feature plenty of humorous designs.

Sound: Knightmare Tower boasts an excellent soundtrack by Hyperduck Soundworks

Jazzpunk PC Game Reviews

Jazzpunk

I’ll be the first to admit that the humor in Jazzpunk is not going to appeal to everyone, but you only need to check out the trailer to know if you’ll enjoy this game. It relentlessly spoofs all kinds of games and movies with gags coming at you thick and fast. There isn’t much of a challenge and the game is rather short but apart from that it is brilliant.

Gameplay: Open world exploration mixed in with some very humorous mini-games.

Graphics: Simple but very charming.

Sound: Very fitting

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing PC Game Reviews

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

While there is no danger of this game dethroning the Diablo series it is a solid action role playing game set in a unique gameworld. The mixture of steampunk and gothic elements offer some bizarre enemies and interesting locations to explore while the action never lets up. The complete pack also adds some essential DLC for extending the longevity and variety of the game.

Gameplay: Traditional action role playing done right.

Graphics: The visual style is nice and the creature designs superb.

Sound: Great voice acting, meaty sound effects and some nice tunes

Horizon PC Game Reviews

Horizon

If you are new to the genre Horizon can look pretty complicated at first glance. This is one of those titles where playing the tutorial and checking out the manual is not optional, but essential if you want to get the most out of the game. It doesn’t quite reach the heights of genre classics, but there is a lot to like and it remains addictive throughout.

Gameplay: Appears daunting at first, but becomes more intuitive with extended play.

Graphics: There are some nice visual elements mixed in with all the stats and charts.

Sound: Atmospheric enough to suit the theme of the game

GAUGE PC Game Reviews

GAUGE

Gauge is extremely simple to play, but that is precisely why it is so addictive. Anyone can instantly learn how to play the game, but achieving the big scores requires focus and concentration. This is easier said than done, as the game actively tries to break your concentration and mess with your eyes. The psychedelic visuals can cause quite an eye strain, so this game is best played in short bursts, but overall, it is a lot of fun.

Gameplay: Gauge is very simple but surprisingly addictive and challenging.

Graphics: The visuals are incredibly psychedelic and not recommended for anyone with an epileptic condition.

Sound: The electronic music and sound effects fit the game perfectly

Full Bore PC Game Reviews

Full Bore

Full Bore is a sprawling adventure with plenty of puzzle based challenges to tackle while you are exploring. Apart from a few rare instances you are not racing against a clock or facing any type of enemies so you can progress at your own pace. Some players may find the experience too sedate while others will be hooked by the fascinating gameworld and tricky puzzles.

Gameplay: A block based puzzler with some very clever challenges.

Graphics: Lovely pixel art with some great animations and lighting effects.

Sound: An excellent glitch/blues soundtrack rounds off the package
