The premise of the game is simple - organize cats of different shapes into square grid, and in its simpleness it works well.

There are 80 levels for you to crack with a slowly escalating difficulty. Some of the levels can be pretty challenging, I would say even hard, as some of them took me a lot of time. My biggest problem in such cases was that I have unknowingly tried the same solution again and again, even though I believed that I haven't tried this particular combination yet. ^^ Later in the game the square grid gets larger with a lot of cats to fill in and you can easily lose track of which one exactly you should try to position elsewhere.

Even though I became stuck like this a few times, it's rather relaxing and I have really enjoyed it. The cats are very cute, both in design and their sounds. Their descriptions fits my cats in many aspects. =^_^=

Second game in Blackwell series, but this time we are gonna experience the life of a Medium destined to helping the lost ghosts from a perspective of Lauren Blackwell, aunt of Roseangela Blackwell the heroine of the first part.

Our main duo, Lauren Blackwell and Joey Mallone, can't surprise us much, because we got solid background on them in the first game, but to see them actually working together is a joy. Although a little bit bittersweet.
Lauren is pushing through her life without any certain goal or purpose out of helping the lost ghosts, which is a never ending work. We can say that she is undergoing a burnout. Joey is trying his best to make it easy for her, to support her, but what can he do exactly when he is only an immaterial entity? Lauren's current job of solving mysterious murders will present before her serious questions about her future life and in the end the decision is made. And as we already know, it's not gonna be for the better.

Gameplay wise it's an adventure game focusing on investigation and combination of clues more than on simple item using (there still is some). Sometimes you can become a little bit stuck, but simply trying everything on everything will save the day (as always). This time we can even switch between our main duo, which offers new perspectives and possibilities in the investigation.
The highlights of the game are yet again greatly written characters and their voice actors! The interaction between Lauren and Joey works really nicely and especially Joey gets shown in a more carefree mood, which is a welcome change from the first game where he is more bitter.
Oh and the music is awesome, one could just sit and listen to all that jazz!

The game isn't long, but for getting 100% you need to play through it two times. If you are lucky. Yet again you have to experience the whole game with a developer commentary, which sheds an insight upon the creative process in making the game and other interesting stuff. I really enjoyed that, my only complain goes to the missing subtitles, because sometimes it was hard to understand them and I didn't caught their every word. More problematic proved to be the achievements for Lauren’s smoking - one time you need to smoke as little as possible, the other way too much. But as there is no counter you will get to know after the end. The high count isn't a big problem as you will just load it up, but you can't lower the count exactly… so if she smokes too much you have to replay the game again. Word of advice, be quick and don't linger anywhere, because when you play as Joey she is gonna light up her cigar. So you really want to do a speed run. Little counter for us in the notebook or some notification would have been helpful for sure. But other than that I don't have any issues with the game. Blackwell Unbound offers a great compelling story and further builds upon the Legacy, can only recommend it. <3

Not sure if it's needed to somehow introduce Wolfenstein and B.J. Blazkowicz character, so just a few quick words… The year is 1960, alternate reality where Nazis won the II. world war and rule the world now, last remnants of resistance are still trying to fight back with more or less luck. And although Blazkowicz spent the last 14 years in a vegetative state he is the one who's gonna hunt the Nazis down one by one!

I will say it right away, this game is awesome! Killing the Nazis is such great fun and so satisfying! Also, there are so many ways to take them down - silently from behind with just your knife or two; from a cover with a silenced handgun; or you can close up at them with a fully loaded shotgun and let their heads blow up; or you can ambush them with two-handed assault rifles… So many possibilities for you to pick from! Good thing is that most of the chapters can be done in a subtle stealthy approach if you don't fancy a heated up firefight and even then there is usually a spot that offers you some kind of an advantage (have to say that for me the most hardest chapter was the Return to London Nautica, my heart still hurts when I remember it).
The pace of the game is great with just a short time for Blazkowicz to catch his breath before his next action, it's nice to connect with other members of the resistance. Level designs are pretty good, nicely varied and offer some pretty challenging (boss) fights. In addition to collecting Nazi's scalps we can search the locations for enigma codes, golden items, letters which will uncover more about the lives of the people, upgrades for armor and health. Throughout the game we will also open descriptions of visited places and every important character. As for the enigma codes - once you collect them you need to crack them and trust me that it's easier than it looks, the solution is right inside the game. Just keep your eyes open. Prize for solving those numbers are new playing modes for some additional challenge - like Ironman with no saving or checkpoints, only one life for a whole game. I have tried one of them (999 mode), because I am no masochist, and it was fun… for a while. As I have played through the game before, going right away through the same old story turned out to be slightly off-putting.

I really liked the story, some moments were truly unsettling (Camp Belica), but it was fun. The characters are great, very likeable and believable. Voice acting is just superb! I really enjoyed all the German, Polish, English… voices, they do a great work at creating fitting atmosphere. <3 Graphics are pretty good looking and I loved how Blazkowicz plays with his weapons when he is idle! I have really expected that he will stab himself with the knife once. XD Music is also very good and you can tell when some serious fight is gonna happen by it.
Through my three playthroughs I haven't encountered any bugs or some kind of problems, which is usually rare.

So, soldier, what are you waiting for? There are Nazis out there that need to be killed!

I both adore and hate this game. We took turns with my soulmate in playing Airscape, because sooner than later your head is gonna be dizzy from it.

We are playing as Orange octopus on a quest of saving its family from a clutches of some mean alien abductors! As we go through the levels in 18 zones we have to save sea critters as they are needed for our progression. Good thing is that we don't have to collect every one of them in the respective zone as the next one opens with a lesser number. Pretty convenient with harder levels.
We will slowly save our octopus siblings one by one. Once they are saved, they can be used and some levels require their specific abilities (although it should be possible to complete each level with every octopus, I am not gonna test it for sure). Mind you, the last ultimate Boss fight will be Orange's duty which doesn't have any special skills.

The game description doesn't lie - ultra-challenging. Yes. It's very, VERY MUCH challenging. I can't possibly stress enough how challenging it really is. Don't be fooled by its colorful and cute graphics, because you are gonna get smashed, squashed, blasted, minced, disintegrated, eaten or drowned in acid on a regular basis. It's fast-paced. Yes, you need to be quick, because most of the hazardous things around actively seek to destroy you. You are left with only a fragment of a second to make a jump or slide or run and most of the time you are not gonna make it. Majority of the levels can't be done on a first try, because you are going blindly ahead and you are gonna meet some nasty surprises on the run. Practice makes perfect.

With a high probability you will get motion sickness from Airscape, because of the frantic rotation that happens all the time. There isn't much you can do with it. You can lower the screen rotation rate, which will seem like a good idea at the beginning, but later in the game you will get in some tight spots because of it. What is mandatory to know when controlling your octopus is that you move where you "look". So as the screen rotates you can suddenly move the other way and die. You can center your view by a dedicated keyboard button, but realizing where exactly you are will just rob you of a precious time. Also the rotation actually helps your octopus to gain momentum in quicker sequences. In the end we set it back to normal.

As for the difficulty, I will repeat yet again, it's high. Each level has usually two or three checkpoints from which you are gonna start when you die. Sometimes it doesn't seem enough though and some sequences are quite punishing, frustrating even. In such a case it is best to take a break from the game. After all, we were playing through it with combined powers since 2020.

I think Airscape deserves a recommendation although it's certainly not for everyone and those who decide to play it can feel pretty miserable from time to time. But all of it will be forgotten once you clear some hard levels and then you will strive for more. You have been warned.
