Ok, simple "wow" is enough. This game, even though is very simplistic, don't have any story and is basically a mind-bending puzzles compilation, could possibly be at the same level as both Portals, Fez, or other "greatest" puzzle games. At least in my ranking :)
The simplicity of mechanics that progressively get more complicated makes this games pretty easy to get into but really hard to complete. It's basically the game where you need to put cube in a specific spot. That's it. But at the same time, thanks to adding new techniques, function blocks and (as title says) paradoxes, this simple premise makes your brain melt… IN A GOOD WAY!
I don't know what to say more. This game is so simple, but so complex at the same time… The only thing I could add is that it upgraded from a game that I never heard of to one of the best puzzle games that I will recommend to anyone who love to think for a while before finishing a level.

At the start I need to clarify something - This month I didn't play any bad games. I don't know how it happened but yeah, every game I started was at least "ok". But, it doesn't mean that something wasn't the worst. And Etherborn was deffinitely the least impressive.
The premise of this one is simple to many others (and even to the last game I finished - Manifold Garden) finish puzzles by working with changing gravity. It's pretty popular mechanics now, but at the same time it's really efective, so I don't mind. But for me, it was just too easy…
Easy games are not necessarily bad, but if you boot up specifically a puzzle game, it would be nice if the difficulty level required at least some effort from you. My second issue is the "story". I have no idea where it comes from, but many minimalistic puzzle games need to have this super deep story that refer to the meaning of life and stuff like that. It is totally subjective, I know, but I'm just tired of this… It is so repetitive and boring now…

It's the second month in a row, where both of my biggest suprises are VNs! But first of all, let's begin with something nice.
For anyone who never heard of that one, it's a sequel to really short game that has pretty identical title (just replace "outside" with "inside"). On paper, the story that both of those games tell is not very engaging. There's a girl who needs to buy a milk and then comes home, and goes to sleep. You know, what I said is probably the biggest summary of both of these games that you can possibly come up with. But it's pretty much it. Apart from, of course, the strange, disturbing characters our heroine meets, her mental problems, how she deals with them, what traumas she has experienced, etc.
Both of those "Milk Games" are so much more than I expected. Most of the things we learn about our main character are just a façade. We either have to push it a little to find out what the truth is, or simply deduce where certain behaviors come from. Damn, it's a pity that both games only last about 3-4 hours (and the first one lasts about 20 minutes). I would like to know more about the main character, about her past, about how she dealt with problems before. And of course I would like to know what happened to her later… Well, maybe there will be one more game in this series. But what will it be called this time?

Ok, I know this game was created for some game jam. This is actually why I gave it around 6/10 :)
Pumpkin Eater is a short VN that is partly about family trauma, partly about psychological problems, and partly about psychopaths in general :) I found the game through my fellow friends at SteamGifts Magazine who mentioned it while they tried to recommend me something. It was cheap, short and felt a bit gruesome, so ideal for me… But yeah, after around an hour, I had a mixed feelings. Not because of the macabre content but because it could be so much better. Maybe this is a result of the short time in which the game had to be created. Or maybe the creator who wrote the script was simply not as talented a writer as I would have expected. After all, I felt like I had read some creepypasta on Reddit, and unfortunately not a good one. The idea itself was really appealing, but the execution made me feel like I was reading fanfic written by a middle schooler…
