Elrentaros Wanderings ($39.99)
I had actually excessive hopes for this RPG, given it was coming from a brand new workforce headed by the creator of Rune Manufacturing facility. I want I might say Elrentaros Wanderings lived as much as these hopes, but it surely’s… undoubtedly not there. I’ll be doing a assessment quickly and I’m nonetheless organizing my ideas, but it surely’s a tough recreation to suggest from what I’ve skilled to date. It feels just like the developer didn’t have the price range to satisfy its ambitions, and needed to skinny out the broth manner an excessive amount of in consequence. It’s a really grindy affair and there simply isn’t a lot right here to make that grind gratifying.
Castaway ($7.99)
I imply, Nintendo needed to approve this itself, so if it doesn’t care then I gained’t. This can be a comparatively brief action-adventure recreation that’s taking some apparent cues from The Legend of Zelda, with the Recreation Boy video games particularly virtually definitely serving as the principle visible reference. The value is low sufficient to take a punt on it if it seems attention-grabbing to you, and I’ll doubtless be doing simply that since I haven’t had an opportunity to play it but myself.

This can be a recreation the place you play as a border collie that’s on an journey with its human to attempt to restore coloration to an archipelago impressed by these of Scotland. As you go, you’ll unlock recollections and hints as to what occurred to empty the colour from this world, and whereas I haven’t performed this one I’ve a really unhealthy feeling that the ending is a type of ones the place you’ll want a field of tissues. Our pal Mikhail can be providing up a assessment of it as quickly as he can.
The Sirena Expedition ($5.99)
A brief little one-hour journey all the way down to the underside of the Mariana Trench the place a mysterious facility exists. What’s its goal? Who constructed it? Can you discover the solutions to those questions? Do you need to? A little bit of a horror-tinged puzzle platformer with an attention-grabbing low-res vibe. May be well worth the plunge.
Rewind or Die ($11.99)
A horrific comedy? Comedic horror? It’s a recreation the place you play as a video rental retailer clerk within the Nineteen Nineties, and whereas whether or not or not you might be even speculated to be there at this time is an unanswered query, it’s a truth that you just’ll must take care of doing all your job whereas a serial killer is on the free. Difficult puzzles, excessive gore, a number of endings, and an essential lesson for these dealing with tape-based media: rewind… or die.
Mute Crimson DX ($14.99)
