There's not really a lot of thing to say about Celeste : it's beautiful, the storyline is a nice add-up to an amazing gameplay and level-desing and the OST is great. It's definitively one of the best game I've played so far this year at least. The end.

If you want to know a bit more, let's divide the world in three categories :

• Category 1 - those who don't like platformers : first, there must be something wrong with you... How can you dislike the greatest kind of game there is ?! Two, I'm not sure why you reading this, clearly Celeste is not a game for you.
• Category 2 - those who love platformers, especially when they're hardcore : first, there must be something wrong with you... How can you be such a masochist ?! Two, I'm not sure why you reading this, clearly Celeste is perfect for you and you should already have read it everywhere, you should be playing it right now and forever, it's the best hardcore platformer created since Super Meat Boy at least ! The three best words to describe it are : Perfect, Perfect and Perfect.
• Category 3 - those who like platformers but are afraid of hardcore difficulty : I would really advise to give it a try. Celeste is so good it would be a shame to not play it if you think that it may be your kind of game... And the main part of the game is challenging, yes, but manageable I think for everyone who have played and liked a platformer before.

Now that you have every keys in hands to decide if Celeste is a game for you, I think you should buy it anyway. Listen to me, it's perfect. PERFECT. PERFECT!!! AAAAAaaaaaargh!

An "action"-adventure game in big, chunky, very-well-done black and white pixel graphics that obviously draws a lot of its inspiration from Zelda: Link's Awakening

You found a sword and now you suffer from a curse that let you die every 60 seconds. Oh no ! Thankfully, you'll respawn in your house after each death and the game will have save every item you'd have unlock before your death. You'll have to run against time to find new items that will help you unlock new paths and discover new checkpoints to progress in the game and try to beat the curse.

It's a weird mechanic and it sounds rather artificial (or too "videogamey") but it works fairly well in game and it's pretty fun

The world is quite small but lively and enjoyable, the devs created lovely characters for you to meet (I want to marry the lighthouse turtle!) and it's a lot of fun to explore, fight and die miserabily just before a new checkpoint or key item of the game

Minit isn't perfect though. It's short, very short, which souldn't be an issue as long as you know it before buying it, but it feels like it should have been more than what it is. The end is very abrupt unfortunately and left me in a bad state of "I whish there was more"...

Of course that last impression doesn't utterly ternish the overall good experience I had while playing but I felt like it should be noted.

A solid adventure game walking in the steps of the old 2D Zelda games.

The game is quite pretty and the monsters and friendly animals' design caught my eye too; gameplay-wise the fights aren't really difficult but they're fun and it's about the same thing for the puzzles. For the most part it's a very casual game where you'll find your fun by exploring and discovering the world the game is set in/ It's pretty linear but there's a lot of little bits and things to search for and discover in every new area you'll unlock as well as new abilities to backtrack and access parts of the world you couldn't before.

It took me about 8 hours to reach the end with a feeling of having seen most of the game content. I know that there's still a lot of things that I didn't discovered which should be enough for the completionist out there to draw out the most of the game during a few extra-hours of gameplay !

In short : a very nice game !

Beaten in a little bit less than 3 hours. The game is made of three big levels that you can explore at any time (even though there's clearly a preferable order to do so ; but that means that you can skip a puzzle for some time if you're stuck). You'll have to beat every puzzle of these three worlds in order to gain access to the last level, a tiny bit shorter than the previous ones and a little bit more based on platforming than puzzle (not hardcore platforming though).

Semblance is a puzzle-platformer where your character can hit some walls/floors/ceiling in order to create new platforms to stand on and jump from to access the orbs you'll need to access the endgame. As you'll make progress in the game you'll discover new interesting mechanics that I won't spoil here. Just know that the game as enough mechanics to keep you interested all along (well... if it wasn't the case in a 3 hours long game...)

Once again, I found it pretty easy, but I still had to pause and think for a bit on some of the 2nd and 3rd levels' puzzle.

As long as you acknowledge that Semblance is a short and casual game, if you're still interested, you're in for a very fine experience!

I'm not sold. The story doesn't make any sense, the game is very blend gameplay-wise : not good enough as a platformer, not hard enough as a puzzle-game, the levels are mostly empty and it's never clear what you should be doing.

I used a guide a few time and it helped me go through the game without thinking too much about the lacks of Seasons After Fall but now that I'm thinking about it a few weeks after beating the game I really don't see why I would advise anyone to play it : yes, you could think that the beautiful graphics might make it up for the lousy gameplay and storyline but it turns out that after backtracking for the millionth time across the levels without noticing any variety in the landscape you'll find everything pretty boring…

That's a shame…

Yes, it's true that the ten or so animated 90's cutscenes are very nice. Everything else in the games goes from okay to quite bad : the pixel-art graphics are far from perfect (a lot of copy-pasting, everything is too static (isn't that ironic?) and the sound design doesn't really stand out.

The storyline is, as you'd expect, full of 80's and 90's references (Back to the Future, Stephen King, Terminator and whatnot), unfortunately they also kept every bad cliché of that era : jokes about fat people, girls, geeks, confederates flags in the trailer park… The different playable characters are a group of friend with "Together… Always!" as a motto but they keep being extremely mean to each other and I couldn't feel attach to any of them at any point because of that. Their conversations never sound right and the game suffers from lazy writing all along.

Gameplay wise, it's not utterly bad but it's not very good either. The fights felt sloppy, the platforming is not one of the game strong side, the level design is dull and once again the puzzles are way too easy to be any fun.

TLDR : don't play that game…

Sethian is a weird game. Basically you have landed on a planet (Sethian) where it seems that civilization once existed but has now disappeared. your in front of a weird computer-interface with alien-symbols as a keyboard and you have to try to communicate with an AI, trying to understand what happened there.

It's a game for linguists, interpreters or translators maybe. You'll have to get the grammar basic rules then you'll have to discuss with the computer and ask him about symbols that you haven't translated yet to understand their meaning.

After a while, you should be fluent enough to have a real-talk with the AI and understand a bit of lore.

Promising and very interesting during the first few minutes of the game I soon realized that learning grammar wasn't much fun for me. I decided to follow a guide because I was still curious about the lore but close to the end I was stuck again. I think I suffered from a bug keeping me from unlocking new lines for the AI… I had to read about the end in my guide…

Sethian clearly isn't for everyone and it would be hard for me to recommend it. Still, it's a very unusual experience I think and it was enough to keep me interested… it definitively won't be true for everyone...

A magnificent and absurd point & click that ends in less than two hours ? It's perfect for someone like me who usually aren't a big fan of this kind of game : the puzzles are funny and not so illogical and even when they are the world is tiny enough that you don't have to go round and round not knowing what to do for too long.

I'd almost regret that the game is so short !

The huge strength of Four Last Things are its amazing graphics made of cut and animated paintings from the Renaissance-era : it's vivid, beautiful, funny and that should be enough in itself to make you play the game just for the joy of admiring this animated masterpiece !

When it comes to Dark Souls, first of the name, there's no way I'm unbiased : this is one of the best game I played in my entire life. It's so perfect I don't even know what to say about it…

Let's be honest though, Dark Souls Remastered is mostly just Dark Souls patched for bugs and with a renewal of interest for online playing (at least around the time it was launched). This means that Dark Souls Remastered is still one of the greatest game ever made, in my always moderate opinion, but is it worth it for someone who already played Prepare to Die Edition ?

Honestly I'm not sure. I loved to be able to easily play online and find people to play with but I don't know how long this will last. I bought it has an excuse to play Dark Souls again (as if I needed one…) and I can't say that it was a reasonable choice. Still, have I already stated that it's one of the greatest game ever made ?

For those who never played Dark Souls and think that they might like it… I think it's a shame that this Remastered version costs twice as much as the old one used to be…
Is Dark Souls worth 40$ though ? Definitively…

Well, I'm not sure what to say about this Remaster. One thing is for sure : Dark Souls and its DLC is one of the greatest game ever made and in the end, that the only thing that matters for me.

Yes, The Swords of Ditto is a crazy good-looking game and yes, overall, the gameplay is quite nice even though the fights are a bit slow for me and the puzzles really too easy to solve ; but after the first few hours into the game, you'll notice it suffers from way to many flaws to be enjoyable in the long term.

The two main issues IMO are the permadeath and other rogue-lite mechanics, and the limited amount of time you're given to reach the end of the game.

After your character wakes up, you have four game-days before you're forced to go and try to kill the main villain. Four days during which you're supposed to explore four specific dungeons to collects trinkets and destroy crystals in order to weaken the final boss before you encounter her. The timer is set to go on as you're exploring the outside world (but it pauses when you enter a dungeon) which tends to force the player to go from one dungeon to the other as fast as possible. A big flaw as you totally loose that experience of exploration and discoveries that you could find in a Zelda-game for example. The level-design is also quite poor, I think, and you can access every part of the world right at the beginning of the game : no mysterious mountain, no build-up set around a unapproachable area, not a lot of excitement...

Another issue: the permadeath. Every time you'll die, 100 years pass and a new champion emerges. And every time you're forced to watch and read through the same introduction and the same speech by your "mentor" and all this really adds to the frustration of dying just a few seconds before.

But the height of disappointment for this game comes from the procedural level-design: everything lacks diversity, everything is bland, you'll end-up looking for the same two trinkets every time you'll start with a new hero and basically I really felt like I was always doing the same thing...

The game is not really hard but permadeath makes it extremely frustrating to die near the end-game as a run can be quite long (about 2 hours I'd say) ; I pushed myself to complete at least one run (which I did) and now I'm done, I really don't care about exploring anymore or getting the true ending: it's a shame that such a nice game at first glance could have been wasted by so many bad game-design ideas...

What a nice game!

I never heard about Yoku's Island Express before I found it in the "New and Trending" steam-list and I bought it on a sudden impulse as the Soundtrack from the trailer and the graphic-design reminded me of Donkey Kong Country Returns ; turns out that Yoku's Island overall tone is a bit darker than what I expected but it really made a strong impression on me!

You play some kind of dung-beetle (always with it's dung ball), the new postman of Mokumana's Island ; soon, you'll learn that this island is not the paradise you were expected and you're going to have to fix that.

What make this game so interesting is its weird combination of a metroidvania and a pinball game using bumpers to send the dung-ball you're always carrying (and you with it) on higher or farther grounds. The game isn't really difficult and I suppose that hardcore-pinball-games-fans shouldn't consider Yoku's Island as a potential fix for their addiction, but it could really do it for those who'd like to explore an extremely enjoyable universe by unusual means

There's not so much more I can say about this game: I wasn't expecting anything and I was super pleased with what I discovered! This is by far the game of the month for me !

Pan-Pan is a puzzle game set in a tiny open-world where you'll be looking for a way to repair and relaunch your spaceship after you crashed. There's not a lot I can say about it even though I really enjoyed the game: it's beautiful, the soundtrack is great and the puzzles are good. I really recommend playing it but you should know that it's very short (about 90 minutes maybe) as you might want to wait a sale to get it. But get it at some point, I really enjoyed it!

Another beautiful game I've been willing to play for quite some time now.

I never played any WonderBoy game before (I grew up with Nintendo instead of Sega, haha !) but anyone can see at first glance that the team that remade the game did an amazing job! It's a pleasure to be able to switch so easily from new-graphics and soundtrack to old-school graphics and soundtrack and that's a good way to see what an improvement they made on the graphic design! There is new details everywhere, the world and characters are beautifully drawn and animated, everything looks great!

I must say that I'm not that sold gameplay-wise though... I don't think they changed anything in the remake compared to the original version and I wouldn't say the game is bad but the level-design felt a bit dull to me and the way that our character(s) jump just didn't feel exactly right.

The thing is I was expecting something more "plateformy" but the emphasis is more on exploration and fighting monsters. It's some kind of lite-metroidvania and now that I think of it, the way the game organized somewhat resemble the Shantae series (or rather the Shantae series resemble WonderBoy: The Dragon Trap, I guess). I still enjoyed playing WonderBoy and I guess that a lot of people would enjoy it even more than I did (as it's certainly hasn't been acclaimed for so long by mistake) but it's not exactly my kind of game.

Well, what can I say, I got CCCP CALLS! as a gift but it was obviously a joke as the game is really more of an achievement spam than an actual game. Well, it's a mach-3, a bad one, with a bad-taste USSR theme, bad coding and no credits at the end of the game (a proof of modesty from the devs ?)

One could ask "Is ISLANDS: Non-Places a game?" and I'm not sure I would say "yes", it's more of a series of peculiar scenes you can interact with. You're not exactly playing Islands but it is somehow bewitching, the atmosphere is really nice and I enjoyed unfolding every little part of the picture but you really have to be in a contemplating mood to enjoy the experience. At least I can say I enjoyed "playing" through Islands, it took me about an hour to see everything and it was just enough.

It took an ABC Challenge to force me into finishing Braid at last and it was great ! It's been lurking in my backlog for so many years, patiently waiting for me to finally dive into it... I don't know why I let it wait for so long as I never heard anything but praise about this game.

Maybe it's because of the art... I always thought it was beautifull but unsettling at the same time... I did launch Braid a few times over the years but never went past a few of the first minutes of the game. I'm glad I persevered this time because it is definitively a great game!

All the puzzles are really good, all the mechanics diverse and I'v rarely saw them elsewhere (if ever), even so many years after the release of the game. One thing though : I wish it would have take me a couple more hours to finish it!

Yes, the atmosphere of the game is kind of weird but Braid deserves that you give it a chance to catch you. If you're like me and still couldn't find the motivation to play it for real until today, don't wait anymore : it's a great game and every puzzle-game enthusiast should have played it!

"On our first attempt, I knew we would have to make with some discomfort, yes, but I didn't not picture all the troubles we would experienced ! My mater and I, we overcome thirst and hunger, we survived an encounter with a very special sea monster and unexpectedly had to assume the charges of a midwife in the middle of a perilous landing operation ; but in spite of all our small victories, we ended up short on our bet as it took us 83 days to complete a round trip around the world that Mr Fogg stated he could beat under 80 days..."

"But despair did not fall on us and we eventually made it ! On our second attempt at this trip around the world, we reached London again after only 70 days of travel !"

Borrowing a lot from Jules Verne (obviously), this mostly narrative is a mouthful of historical, literary and other cultural hints and it's a real pleasure to search for those and spot something you weren't expecting (James Cameron's Titanic, maybe ?) ! It helps create a vivid universe and fills your trip with great memories !

The game is fairly easy and I don't think that it involves any random event that might have help you to keep playing the game again and again but is it really an issue ? I don't think so because after you manage to beat the game for the first time you can still try to get better and beat your score, but what seems even more appealing to me : you'll want to take your time and go visit as many places as you can on the map and experience every little reference that you can find !

Maybe not right after beating the game once, but I'm pretty sure that 80 days is a game that you can play on the long run, every time you got a few minutes and want to get a bit of the treats that the dev' have made for you.

A really good experience for me, I'll definitively play it again sometime !

Dominique Pamplemousse is a really short Point & Click, quite easy and straightforward which stands out as it is a Musical (every dialogue is sang) and because of it's clay animation graphics. Those two facts were enough to make me want to look at it

Unfortunately, despite a story that is totally fine, you'll quickly start to feel annoyed by the songs, far too repetitive (there's only one - short - theme for each character) and not really inspired (try to sing about your life to your friends, it will probably seem a lot like the songs in Dominique Pamplemousse...)

As for the graphics, I'd say that it's a nice touch even though nothing really amazed me.

In the end, even though the game is really cheap, I would not advise you to buy it. It's really not convincing. On the other hand, if it was already waiting in your backlog, give it a try, it's really short and the unusual twists of the game might be enough to convince you...

Elliot Quest looks a lot like Zelda 2 (side scrolling 2D action plate-former in the dungeons, looking for new abilities that serves as keys to open new paths into the world) and even though it's not really a bad game, one can't help but think that it really should have been a lot more polished: the difficulty isn't really well balanced (most of the Bosses are fairly easy to beat but some lesser enemies are extremely though to beat or avoid...), the objectives could be far more explicit, the UI more user-friendly (mapping the triggers to switch between our inventory objects for example) and it would not have hurt to work a bit more on the graphics because the sprites seem to "flat"...

To be clear: I kept going from enjoying the game to being frustrated by what I think are silly mistakes of game-design that could have been easily corrected...

Humble Bundle recently offered Spec Ops for free on their website and I thought it would be a good opportunity to play a TPS, a type of game I only play once every few years... usually in coop with friends. And they said the story was cool!

I'm really bad with shooters. I kept dying and dying. Now I know why I enjoy those more when I play with friends: they make it up for my mistakes! Despite my lack of skill, I still quite enjoyed playing Spec Ops, having to switch between weapons depending on what type of ammo I could find was nice and the action was just enough for me. Once again, I only play TPS once every 4 years maybe, and Spec Ops seemed, gameplay wise, like a good one to me (or at least, an average one)...

What did not fit my expectations was the story. It really felt kind of cheesy to me. The fact that the only way to get through the game is by killing about everyone makes it's "anti-war" message far less memorable to me... Yes, it might be nice, for once, to play a shooter where your characters is not considered a hero (and might even be a bad guy), but it's not as impacting when you're forced to become a bad guy...

I might have been more enthusiastic about this game if I played it when it was released but after all those years I was clearly expecting to much from the scenario... I'd advise you, if you wanted to discover Spec Ops, to play it expecting an average-TPS; who knows, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Open Sorcery is a "visual" novel (it mostly looks like lines of code) which let you embody a "Magic Software" made of fire and created to protect a small portion of its surroundings (a school, a rest home, the houses of its two creators) as an antivirus would protect a computer.

Trying to exorcise the humans under our protection we encounter other spirits and our meetings with them will help us evolve towards a being more conscious of itself which will impact our relationship with our human creators...

You can go through an entire run in less than one hour but as usual in this type of game the real story will unfold as you replay the game and choose to act differently than you did during your previous run. Even though I didn't go through all the possibilities yet I can say that the story is really nice and unusual.

I would definitively recommend those of you who like Visual Novels to take a look at Open Sorcery: not the most ambitious game I played this month but a really nice one nonetheless...

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse has the same ups and downs as its predecessor Risky's Revenge

I think that the game really suffers from the way you travel the world: a succession of levels that you enter from a hub. For a metroidvania game, I think it's harder to get a good impression of the world, more difficult to remember where were the paths that you couldn't enter or the items that you couldn't reach... And so you wander and wander, mostly in vain...

The fact that the levels are divided between very good dungeons but mostly annoying outside areas is another issue of this wandering without any clear goal...

Among the plus are the dungeons (very nice level design) and the bosses that are mostly very cool to fight but for me, it's not enough to save Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Risky's Revenge earned a 14/20, I don't think that The Pirate's Curse deserves more than a 12...

It took me about 2 hours to beat Scanner Sombre and thanks goodness I knew it was supposed to be short because I would never have finished it otherwise...

As many I supposed, the unusual graphics are what drove me to the game; unfortunately, it's the only thing that I'll remember from this game.

As it turns out Scanner Sombre is an extremely basic walking simulator. In fact, walking is the only thing you'll do in this game and after 20 minutes you just don't care anymore about the unusual graphics as everything looks the same all along your playthrough. You're note even exploring as the world is not open at all, you'll only be walking the straightforward path to the end of the game and the through the bits of a disappointing story that you'll uncover during your walk...

In the end, Scanner Sombre should never have been anything else than a technical demo. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen it all. And if you still want to see more of the game, keep your money and watch a Let's play, this game is not worth your time...

A very short J-RPG/Visual Novel in which you play to characters, one of whose has the ability to uncover the lies of the person she's speaking to and to eat those lies. In fact this character belongs to the Dragon's race (despite the fact that she looks like a young girl) and every dragon possess a specific ability.

The game is divided in three chapters in which, after a simple investigation, you'll be searching for lies, fighting them in order to understand what's happening and finally beat a boss at the end of every of the three chapters.

What makes LiEat enjoyable is the peculiar universe it's set in, the PNJ dialogues and of course, the relationship between the two playable characters. If your allergic to anime-cliché, you can forget this game, otherwise, this is a really nice game that will nicely entertain you during the three or four hours that your playthrough should last.

Definitively one of the best games I played this month [march]!

It's a retro, slow-paced plateformer with a big die & retry component. You'll have to master the two jumps (one low, one high) to get through precise platforming stages, and you'll die a lot while trying to understand what path the game wants you to follow.

It almost feel like a puzzle-platformer game sometimes. You should know that there is a huge peak of difficulty in the fourth world but even there 1001 Spikes is never unfair and you can only blame yourself for the traps you don't manage to avoid. I know there's a lot of those retro-styled games nowadays but f you like platformers you should really look into 1001 Spikes, it a great and truly rewarding game !

A few years before I played Aragami, I had a lot of fun playing the first three Metal Gear Solid ; partly because I loved the cheesy, over the top storyline, partly because the gameplay just felt perfect. Since then, I did not play any other stealth game and I had some issues taking my first steps in Aragami...

Obviously, because the game is set in a fantasized feudal Japan, there's no radar here, which was really helpful when playing any of the MGS games... And the camera sometimes makes it hard to have a proper look around to see what could spot you. It got me a bit frustrated at first but then I got used to it (and of course, it helps that the game, even in "normal" difficulty mode, is quite easy) and I must say that I quite enjoyed playing Aragami!

It's true that the storyline lacks subtlety and is not really fascinating but the cell-shaded world is really good looking and it's quite fun to play a ninja, teleporting from shadow to shadow and taking down dumb and short-sighted guards. You unlock a few useful and fun abilities as you go and feel more and more confident as you get to the end of the game. Even though I can't say I didn't fall head over heels in love with the game, it's been a nice playthrough.
