Finished it twice, going to do that again and again, and again. Just to see it's world from every possible angle. Just to experience this daily routine of a mom, just going after everyone in the house, picking up their shit. Just to realise that subconsciously even those really close to us, are treated as soulless machines.
The game is exceptionally good, but of course, it's also quite Cagey (oversimplified dialogues, cheesy drama, amateurish scenes reminiscent of a small theatrical play, done by liberal students). All of that doesn't matter though, cause essentially Detroit is a crash course to empathy (this thing the modern world needs to rediscover). It's all about being in someone else's shoes when that someone else is being harassed for no logical reason, just because others feel like it.
Detroit mocks humanity and our rampant hypocrisy and egoism. Crowds of people protest your character's existence, just because he's an Android and he's about to steal more jobs. Especially the shitty ones. Seriously. In the game, you'll see scores of people protesting the loss of jobs, because Androids took it. The interesting thing is, that from the perspective of an Android it doesn't feel true. Androids didn't take it. Same as steam machines, or conveyors or cranes. It's funny to realize, that we as humans do all those shitty, demeaning jobs for a while, just until we figure out a way to replace ourselves with machines to save our dignity and time for a greater purpose. Save our time, for the pure joy of life and discovery. Get out from behind a counter and travel, visit places that are not so lucky, do good... Or open internet, get knowledge, become creators, poets, writers... You know. Be HUMAN. Be whatever we feel humans are, creative, feeling, caring... However, the reality is a bit different. As soon as there's a machine to clean the house, we just open up another beer and scratch balls in front of a TV till we run out of money. Then we just kick the machine and demand change. Demand our rights to do shitty jobs to be reinstated. That, I think, is a main point of the game. To show the world for what it is. Use this futuristic, yet believable setting and make us feel for a machine and it's buggy software.
Detroit is a mediocre game in many ways, but it's also a valiant attempt to change how we see the world. And I feel like it may work. In a long run. Big thumbs up for trying. Also, highly recommended to play together with all those non-gamers in the household. Experience it as a TV drama with an opportunity to drive the narrative. Again, in comparison to most TV dramas, this one is mediocre, but the overall story is really good, the setting is believable and placing someone in control of a character, or at least decision making, does miracles with a sense of immersion.
Friendly advice: Although it may feel like it, but watching this game on Youtube, without actively participating in a gameplay process will actually ruin your experiences and impressions. For the love of God, choose to play it, or skip it, but steer clear from walkthroughs and Lets plays.

AER is a simple exploring game with cute low-poly graphics. The puzzles are quite simple and I can't say that exploring the world is very exciting. To me, there's just one thing the game gets right—flying and the feeling of speed and the wind in your wings. If you want to experience something close to flying as a bird in a video game then this title is for you. Otherwise, don't bother buying it.
Now the game doesn’t cost the money. Guys, find you a good QA to test projects first! So many bugs, they turn the game in complete trash. Fix them at least. I don’t even talk about limited options for upgrades and a totally broken sound system.
I like this setting, and I’m a big fan of Pacific Riff, so the game was entertaining for me. I didn’t expect so much content, so you’ll be surprised with the amount of extras, bonuses, upgrades and other enjoyable features.
I think, this game is highly recommended for players, who want something more than just a tower defense, but prefer to progress quickly and don’t spend much money on the game.
Only buy the game after several patches and on sale. I was waiting for Agony but I didn’t expected it would be the agony literally. It’s hard to find the game behind the walls of bugs, unresponsive controls, poor voice acting and just awful lip reading. I like the level design, though, and hope the issues I mentioned will be fixed one day. Till now this game will be a really painful experience.
The appearance of this game is brilliant, and the story is captivating. While the game raises important problems and even features death, it stays nice and charming. I hope, there would be DLCs for this game, as I don’t want to finish my dungeon adventure right now.
Even on the hard level this game is too easy, though it was advertised like something challenging. It can be completed for a couple of hours, even if you don’t a profi. Disappointed.

Hope the community will still be alive by the time all the bugs are fixed. The game is not really bad, but you can’t understand that because of endless technical issues that ruin the fun. Right now server are overloaded, matchmaking doesn’t work right, and the game in general needs to be seriously overviewed and fixed.
I think, it’s the best DB fighting game so far. Very enjoyable gameplay, nice graphics, the story within is gorgeous. If you’re a fan of the series, just like me, you shoul definitely play the game.
Awesome game. It takes only the best from retro games and turn them into a high-quality modern project without any bugs or limitation, and at the same time its has that wonderful nostalgic charm.
Oh, I want so say something good about this game at first: it’s really very beautiful. Pixel art world is incredible, you love it. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the rest of the game. It fails both as a roguelike and a dungeon game. I feel bored, and bugs are annoying. So, for me this game became a disappointment.
It’s a story driven game, so don’t expect too much of the actual gameplay. Give Agony some time and it will suck you in. I like the setting of this game, the voice acting, that wasn’t obviously completely professional but shows every emotion in the right way. The maze design and color choices weren’t very comfortable for me, but I understand why they were done this way. In general the game is very enjoyable and even more scary than the first Outlast. So if you’re a fan of horror games, I don’t know why you haven’t tried it yet!
Five Word Review: Neat puzzle game about loss.
Favorite Thing: The puzzle mechanic and seeing how each outcome chained into the next was neat.
Least Favorite Thing: Mumble speech. Sometimes it works but this game goes overboard with it.
Date Completed: 2018-05-29
Playtime: ~ 3.5h
Enjoyment: 7/10
Recommendation: It's short but it's well worth your time.
Five Word Review: Beautiful game but weak story.
Favorite Thing: The art style is really great.
Least Favorite Thing: The story is weak; nothing interesting or consequential happens until the very end. Regicide? Forgiven. Unleashing a great evil on the world and committing (attempted) mass murder? Don't worry about it!
Date Completed: 2018-05-29
Playtime: ~ 40h
Enjoyment: 5/10
Recommendation: No. The story makes this a game I would only recommend to a child (because they like silly things).
Five Word Review: Fun though repetitive, skimpy story.
Favorite Thing: I enjoyed the turn-based strategy (initially) and unlocking new ships.
Least Favorite Thing: It gets repetitive fast. There's nothing overly exciting to keep your interest.
Date Completed: 2018-05-20
Playtime: 26h
Enjoyment: 7/10
Recommendation: It's a pretty decent strategy game. More so if you like space and/or BSG.
Sooooooooooooo... I'm right now playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. For the third time! And my plan is to complete it 100%! For the third time! 'Nuff said.

A nice beat em up game in the dungeon setting. The gameplay is complicated with all these different magic attacks and so on, but you get used to it surprisingly quickly. With awesome pixel art and pleasant music this game becomes one of the best indie platformers for me right now.
Better than a Wii U version but still not a real Zelda game. Funny for a few hours, and, maybe, for hack and slash lovers. But Zelda is not about slicing everyone into pieces, actually. And this game lacks in everything except combat.
I like the series but there are some problems with this title that ruin my pleasure. The screen is messy, it’s hard to focus on the gameplay. When the track is obscured, the game turns into a complete hell. I don’t like this design at all. The music doesn’t fit the rhythm of the game, and some obstacles are invisible. And, as the icing, the difficulty of the level is not balanced.
This game is great chance for those who missed the title back then to feel the excitement of the original title. Maybe, it could be better visually, but it’s not very important for me. I like how the game makes me satisfied with the gameplay and the spirit of that old school Dark Souls.
