This is my first review here and maybe the first piece of text created as a solid review. This text is dedicated to a short indie game and I’m proud of those guys who create it. I was intended to write this review right after I passed Forgotten Memories but I’m currently posting it after (well, several days after) passing it for the third time in a row.
Initially, I thought that there is just a nice horror game for mobile. Okay, with good graphics. Okay, with spooky trailer atmosphere. But would it worth being bought and played? After I just told myself that I cannot find similar third-person survival horror game on AppStore within a couple of minutes I decided to try it. What I can say is that it definitely worth because its developers are damn Silent Hill and Resident Evil fans just like the author of these very lines. Their love for the classical survival horror titles is visible in every inch of the game, its mechanics, and atmosphere. This time I’m talking about *atmosphere* rarely delivered by modern titles and unseen among mobile games of this genre.
The game is like 1/5 of Silent Hill in time metering, first time I passed it in 2:20 hrs getting to every corner and stopping to breathe out from time to time because of deep and irresistible suspense made by sharply directed sound effects that may scare the pants off you. Even when you are holding a shotgun being the most dangerous creature in this dirty building.
Short, indie, not-that-deep because [subjective opinion] not Japanese but full of passion that can be transmitted only when creators are really obsessed by their idea. The game really got me back to the Team Silent masterpieces. Psychose Interactive couldn’t add SH to the title, that is why this game looks like a tribute to Team Silent, I cannot say the word ‘biting’, because it has nothing to do with this word. Nothing because Psychose guys added so many *direct* references to that-town-from-restless-dreams: that hospital, that locker, those children (but with a direct message here), that comment about the weather outside, that descent (oh, that descent!), that ending summary... lots of things that were carefully left for you to find and smile to the nostalgia you feel.
Then I fully read the looong AppStore description and it turned out that two main characters were voiced by guys who spoke for James Sunderland and Eddie Dombrowski in SH2. Psychose Interactive just found them and allowed to give SH2 fans a couple of flashbacks to the best psychological thriller ever.
Almost got tears in my eyes thinking about people doing all those stuff to make something cool instead of just getting money selling a product that may look similar but not having all those details. Deepest gratitude!

«Can’t stop playing»
The atmosphere here is great but everything else seems to be created by people who saw a computer for the first time. The controls are awful and really prevent you from playing. The combat is just painful. Type three dots at the end of your “positive” review if you’ve been forced to write it.
If you want a good PVP game, skip this one. For 20$ you get a 5v5 shooter with questionable mechanics, stupid customization and loot boxes as an addition. Even if you’re OK with all these things, there are much better thing on the market today, than Robocraft.
It’s what a true RPG must be like. It’s challenging, you need to learn how to lay it, know all its inner rules. Yes, the success won’t come immediately but in hours of playing you’ll start to enjoy it. Once you understand that you need to gain experience completing easier tasks at first, you’ll be more patient. Well, the game limits you but it’s the real way for you to feel the development of your character as it can be in real life.
This game is a bunch of bad decisions. The Arkham Asylum type fighting system makes the gameplay look like a dynamic QTA thing without any choice. It’s ridiculous that the enemies always (like, ALWAYS) attack you one by one while the rest of them are watching your fight. The game is too easy and even if you lose a fight (you must literally drop the controller to lose here), you won’t die - you just get up and run, and, well, you’re safe.
Even the graphics are not that good now when we have so much better things on the market, so don’t waste your time here.
The single-player mode is awful. It’s bugged, like when the game wants me to avoid the wolf but doesn’t let me do it (WTF, really) and I die and die again. It’s not the only broken section but this wolf problem pissed me off.
I don’t like graphics either, there is no multitask, so you can do only one thing at a time, what is completely useless and irrational when you need to boil water and do something else at the same time. The gameplay in general is not perfect too.
Two thing are done great, though: the soundtrack and the survival mode. That’s it - and it’s not enough.
Everything you can create here is only limited by your imagination. You can build various robots and weapons - the game gives your creativity a boost and provides tools to do awesome things, like a rocket launcher equipped T-Rex or Batmobile. You can try your inventions immediately, or save them, or share with the community.
For those who don’t like building there are a lot of default robots to use. They all have different features, so you’ll have a wide selection.
This game will be perfect, if it stops losing connection when you do anything outside of creation. During the PVP gameplay it’s OK but when I try to browse options or change between tabs the game lags very often and that’s annoying.
Can’t stop playing this, even think about calling in sick. Shadow of Mordor definitely deserves the money. I haven’t got such fun for a while, you can’t imagine how good the story and combat are, so go try it better. Even if you get beaten up by a regular Uruk, you’ll be able to revenge soon and that’s an awesome feeling!
«Just one more turn»
Brutal, with a kinda «b-movie»-humor. Wolfenstein is linear and about corridor-type level design. But there is something cool when you charging through the levels like a chainsaw cutting jelly-dolphins. Train yourself at throwing axes for half a level. Hunt down officers before no one notice. Kill all the nazis with evil laugh. Oh man, you gonna like courtroom escape scene for sure)))
Much better than other survival games now because free of stereotypes. It’s just a man against the wild, without supernatural monsters hiding in the dark. Differents level of difficulty make the game enjoyable for everyone, either you want just to craft something in the woods or go kill all the wolves around. In fact, you can choose what to fight - your own needs or outer threatens.
I want to say this game is good but I can’t. Low frame rates, microtransactions, repetitive gameplay - I thought nothing can make this game worse but they removed Save the World mode. Now it’s totally a waste of time and money. I really don’t understand why so many people enjoy something like this.
Don’t deserve its money on the full price. However, if you want some good spooky puzzler and a few bucks to spend, go try it. Limbo is full of interesting puzzles and it looks great. Nothing really innovative here but not everybody thinks new is always better. So I guess, all puzzle and horror lovers will enjoy Limbo.
It’s just the same Payday 2 for consoles and PC but portable now. The port itself has bugs sometimes low frame rate, sometimes getting stuck on loading screens. Switch version won’t disappoint you if you’re a fan of Payday 2. But most awful thing is no normal voice chat/ It is critical for such type of game.
Too hard for me. Maybe at some point I'll tackle it again but that seems unlikely. It was a bit vague and I couldn't get my head into the puzzles to care enough to complete them.
I was incredibly hyped for this game, especially as all the others I have really enjoyed. The mechanics of the game that they didn't change are still great i.e. the combat, puzzles, stealth and grappling around Gotham. However, the inclusion (for some daft reason) of the Batmobile really brought down the fun. Too much of the game was focused on Batmobile combat and puzzle solving and it just didn't work very well. On top of the story is predictable and doesn't do much to build upon the exceptional work that went before it. Such a shame...
«Disappointment of the year»
A really great game perfectly portraying the Dark Knight and the Batman comic-universe.
«Blew my mind»
This is a difficult one. The premise of the game is great, and when all is working well it is an absolute blast! However, on PS4 without playing in a group (solo) the game suffers terribly from constant disconnections. I assume it's the host leaving the game once they've died. This really dampens the whole experience, which is a shame. Hopefully, they can solve this problem as it's hard to recommend because of this particularly as a solo player.
«Buggy as hell»
Really cool little game. A bit short but a lot of fun. When I played it has some framerate issues but nothing to interrupt the gameplay too much.
Love the style and the mash-up of genres. They all come together really well. The VO is great and the story is pretty interesting too.
Not terrible, certainly a nice change from all the pixel art games on the Nintendo eShop right now. But it's a little bit basic and it's story didn't really hold my attention.
