👍Positive:

Nice atmosphere building.

🤷Neutral:

Repetitive music. Confusing story.

Saw this game from Ylthin's post and I can't believe I didn't know this one! It's from the Freebird Games who made To the Moon and Finding Paradise. It's listed under different devs so that's why I missed it in steam store. It's their usual style but this time it's a thriller/mystery game. Tbh I still have no idea what the game is about, and talking about it would be a spoiler cuz it's these types of games. So I'll just say that it gave me chills and builds atmosphere pretty well. I like the game. :3

👍Positive:

Nice art. Alright gameplay.

👎Negative:

A bit boring.

This is another switch demo. This is basically flow free(if you've played those on phone) with added length limits to nodes. It limits your moves to a set one and makes it much easier than flow free. Ofc they made it so there's only ever one solution since they're painting a picture and I actually quite like the mechanism since the things you drew will appear in the room. In the end it makes it less challenging and a bit boring. Also it has pretty nice art style, even though the objects that appear sometimes doesn't match the background.

👍Positive:

Game looks nice despite the graphics. Sound effects are satisfying.

🤷Neutral:

Gameplay gets blend after a while.

👎Negative:

Bad background music.

This is a Challenge Me and a pagywosg game.

It's a match-3 game~I've actually been craving for some on my phone so I'm pretty happy that it got picked by samwise(thx buddy. :D). The game feels pretty old with its graphics since everything is kinda blurry, but it's really fine and for the buildings that you build up part by part they actually look great! Match-3 mechanic is simple but perhaps a little too simple. You got a layer(or two) under every tile to break and you also get 1 to 2 boulders that'll fall after a bit into the game and you need to drop them to the bottom. If you match 4 you'll get a horizontal swipe power, and 5 or more gives you a cross wipe power(especially useful for boulders). The first playthrough is very easy as I had no trouble going through them and did not die once. I started the second playthrough and what's pretty cool is the buildings you're building up changes from the first playthrough and all look much more fancier and prettier. I like the detail there. But ultimately I gave up due to wrist strain it's causing with having to drag the mouse around a lot, and also I was getting a little bored of the gameplay cuz there's no variety. Oh also, the background music is just bad so I turned it off and listened to my own music. Sound effects are nice and satisfying tho so I kept them on.

👍Positive:

The world is quite colorful.

🤷Neutral:

Gameplay is alright.

👎Negative:

Story is a bit boring.

Another switch demo cleanup~I've actually heard some good things about this game. Some people compared it to Minecraft and some prefer this one over it. I'd say I still like Minecraft more cuz of all the mods, but that's not really fair isn't it since vanilla Minecraft is really not that fun for me. I'm sure there's amazing mods out there for this game(if the devs supports the option). But as it stands, the demo didn't impress me.

The thing I didn't like about this game is the slowness and treating the player as dummies. Mostly I'm annoyed at the spirit/god that keeps repeating what she's saying. This is largely due to there being a plot in the game unlike Minecraft. Also the story is really mundane and boring. At first I tried reading but after a bit I just skips every dialogue with villagers which is probably not a good thing for this game? I enjoyed exploring, but the direction on switch is not that accurate. Combined with camera movement and it makes combat much harder than it's supposed to be. Also building things is also annoying cuz of controls. So overall I was kinda feeling meh about the game. It's alright, but just alright.

👍Positive:

Nice pixel art.

🤷Neutral:

Meh gameplay.

👎Negative:

Cheap and bad sound effects. A major bug that could cause frustration in having to replay the level.

This is a pagywosg game. Tbh I wasn't expecting much from the game so that kinda made the experience ok.

Tbh I don't really know what genre to call this game. In the game you basically need to find the key and then outrun the scary green monster to the exit. It's not really that exciting and the sound effects made it way worse. However I do enjoy the nice exploration before getting the key tho as there's no pressure. And I like how the pixel art looks. There's one major bug in the game I'd like to point out is that if you get chased very close to the exit door the monster will actually phase through the door and get you if you don't move forward. It got me twice and that's pretty annoying. Other than that it's a ok game that's just meh.

👍Positive:

A bit of nostalgia. Collector game.

🤷Neutral:

Idle gameplay.

👎Negative:

To many pop-up ads.

This is a crane style idle game where you grab gachas and wait for them to open to get toys. I played the original game Clawbert wayy back on my dad's iphone before, so when I saw this I was like:"Why not? " And the bad thing about this game is its filled with pop-up ads, and it gets really annoying that I'll always just close the game and restart to bypass it partially. Still need to sit through the intro screen tho. I got every toy, puzzle and hats so I'm counting it as a finish even though they might add other worlds later, which I'm not going to go back to play. In general it's just an alright game to satisfy my needs of being a completionist/horder where I love to collect things. If you also like to do those things then go for it! Maybe try the original first tho, since I just downloaded it and it has way less ads. Edit: Nvm only after playing a certain amount do you get pop-up unskippable ads. Arg annoying!

👍Positive:

Art style. Cool design of a major character.

🤷Neutral:

Standard point and click gameplay.

👎Negative:

Cliche story.

This is a free android app. First noticed it cuz of the art style and it did not disappoint. It's this sorta realistic yet fantasy feel. I like it. :3 Only the first chapter is free tho, and I don't plan on buying the rest.

It's a point and click game, and tbh, the gameplay is not that great. It's not bad, just a bit boring. It's the typical collect items, use on place and progress. The story has a lot of potential but turned out cliche even just on the first chapter. So basically, the only good thing about the game is the art style and the design of the evil dude. He's really cool looking. :3

🤷Neutral:

Real-time turn-based gameplay.

👎Negative:

Slow movement. Cliche story.

I got back to playing Pokemon Quest on switch recently. Browsing the games I have on there I decided to finish and clean up some of the demos that I downloaded long time ago. This is one of them, and I originally downloaded it purely based on the looks on its frontpage(the thumbnail of the game), but it deceived me! It's the turn-based rpg that I personally don't really enjoy. I still trudged through it though even if I'm pretty bored.

When I said turn-based, it's in fact real-time turn-base where there's action bars filling up and stuff. I've found that I'm not as patient as I was when I was little where I could enjoy turn-based games like Pokemon very much. They became a bit too slow for me. In this game the special thing about the combat is that you can suit up to have different move sets and attack more powerfully, and also you can freely position yourself when attacking so that you can utilize area attack more. Also positioning is really important as I almost died from area attacks since I grouped my dudes closely. It is pretty strategic, but well, I also don't like RTS games. lol So yeah, I was kinda bored by the gameplay. Not to mention the movement speed is slow and important objects on the map are a bit too sparse. It's my pet peeve that movements are too slow.

The story is also not all that interesting. Rather cliche with the empire being bad and doing evil deeds while the protagonists helped first but discovered the evil and fights back. At least that's the vibe that I got from the demo, and the writing is also boring with sometimes questionable translation.

Overall I must say I'm not that impressed. Granted that I'm not their targeted audience, so it may have effected my enjoyment a lot. Still, give it a try if you're into these kinda games. Cuz it's free. :3
