I'm at a loss for words here. The game twists reality in so many crazy ways, I couldn't stop myself from trying to explore every bit of this crazy world.

And the puzzless... As an avid adventure gamer, I was thrilled to see puzzles which make sense - and on more than one occasion the biggest challenge was overcoming some preconcieved notions I leared in other games. This was awesome!

What a bitter-sweet game.

It has that "just one more sector" feeling, and then you fail. >_<'

Just a few more turns, and I'll write a recommendation...

Dammit, it's already 2 in the morning?! O.o

;)

There's something odd about this game.

I know I'm playing a video game. I recognize the mechanics behind it, the cheap punches it throws in my face. There's a part of me screaming at me "this game is just trying to make you feel bad using cheap tricks".

And you know what? It still works. I still feel like s*** afterwards.

I guess this is a recommendation then. You won't find this kind of "crazy" in any spunkgargleweewee (thank you Yahtzee) - think Black Ops 2, if you don't know the phrase - and it's a kind of crazy you ought to see.

A brain fever materialized as a game. And I say this with the highest praise possible.

I can't believe I just spent 30 minutes doing the same level over and over again while I should have gone to bed an hour ago! o.O

This game is digital cocaine apparently.

Ahh, something not quite familiar.

Aside from the voice-over, which is really bland and without emotion (Possibly to let the player fill in the blanks themselves? Probably not...), the gameplay reminds me of the old pre-rendered first-person adventure games like Myst. The unique photo-like effect of moving around has... well, there's something that catches me.

Also, it's worth mentioning that with nothing but a camera and an idea the developers have managed to create an interesting, eerie world.

Awesome!

I'll write more later; too busy playing it ATM. ;P I think that should be about it for an early recomendation. :D

What can I say?

This game is what would happen if you mixed chess... with guns and shotguns. Oh, and it ain't as nerdy.

This turn-based tactical game doesn't have the eye-catching effect of the AAA titles, but down in the core it's far more fascinating than any of the big-budget titles.

It's actually difficult to describe exactly what Frozen Synapse is. The Steam description doesn't do the game justice, and it's only after you dive into the game (even a simple match vs the CPU) does the game's complexity become apparent.

Most definitely a title worth checking out!

Holy balls, zombies! :P

This game is classed by many as a "good zombie game" for a good reason. It's a good zombie game!
