My thoughts:
Graphics are pretty bad, but the atmosphere is EXCELLENT. Super creepy, love the detective-ness. But I'm terrified out of my mind. When I lost my gun, I was done.

Verdict?
Scared out of my mind. I do not want to play this alone. Leaving it installed, for now.


Next game?

My thoughts:

I want to put more time into this, really. But it's old, hard as nails, unforgiving, and really good.

It's been too long. I have to move forward...


Verdict?
Keeping it installed for now. I'd like to go back and spend the time this game deserves.

After an hour of gameplay, I played the 1st two tutorials. I enjoyed it! The factions and their powers seem like they would be a blast to use!

Verdict?
I own SC2. Who am I kidding. This is getting uninstalled.

I was going to say, I'm surprised this isn't an app download, but it is! Feels like an iOS app I used to play. Lovely little puzzler. Great music.

Verdict?
Has potential will want to go back.

Revisited?
It's been 3 months since the original post. Will not be going back. Uninstalling.

My thoughts:

I actually finished this one on my mobile all the way through. I understand I got the "best" ending. Regardless, I never want to play this game again. Once you start its hard to stop, but once it's over; I've already uninstalled it.

Music is fantastic. Style is Metroid. I've had my fill for a while. I can see why this is well liked, but not my game.

This game gave me an immediate ICO vibe. The controls are super interesting how you each stick is a different brother. Puzzle are going to get interesting! Can't wait to go back.

If you're in the mood for a 90's inspired FPS, with all the modern frills. This is your game. Its ridiculous and I love it.

Will come back to this one!
