Just a few tryouts while I have a really bad cold

I couldnt resist, since I found the Steam Cards at my fuel station I can actually buy steam games without my CC or freaking paypal.

So I bought some of them got Apotheon, Darkest Dungeon and still had some funds left.

So I did what I love most : Buying games I dont know for less than 2 euros who have a good review score on Steam.

Lets go. Still working on my Apotheon and Darkest Dungeon reviews, these are going to get bigger for a change.

Stardrive

This is some kind of colonisation space game, where you have ships and then colonize planets.
It has all the normal elements of that genre, plus it looks quite good, decent music, nice user interface.

The tutorial is weired, and you would have to invest a lot more attention than I am able right now, but heads up, this game could actually be some fun.

Imagine Me

Ehm. Well. Trashy unity jump and run. Well the start design is interessting, but the level design sucks from the start and the graphic looks very strange.

War Game : Red Dragon and then Darkest Dungeon

Ok. I have Darkest Dungeon and some absolut amazing looking Jump'n'Run where you play an old greek vase scenario, but I misspressed in my steam library and started WarGame:Red Dragon which is laying around untouched since a few month.

I just played it for 30 minutes. I loved the first part in the triology, and well Red Dragon looks good, is complex, has the same amazing interface and I have absolutly no clue how to play it.

European Escalation was quite inuitive, but Red Dragon is like 10times more complex, at least that was my first impression.

Another thing is I can not find good information about for example the chinese war gear from 1979 like the ZBD-86.

I play these kind of games cause I like reading up on the real world equivalents.

Well, hopefully I will find sometime some time to get deeper into Red Dragon. Would be a waste.

But now to Darkest Dungeon and ehm Apotheon !

Alive ?

Well, right now I am still working on this new blog of mine, but RL keeps me from my duty, I am sorry.

Right now I want just quickly propagate two games I tried out from my insanely vast but on lock-down Steam library :

8bit Boy

This is an actually worthy Super Mario Clone. Clumsy 8bit graphics, but very nice level design, a decent yet good shuffled difficulty level and nice music.
Definitely worth it. Done by one man and  his love to the waste of time in his youth. Get it !

Freaking Meatbags

Well, done in Unity, it is really a cute fast and nice combination of exploration, resource management and structure building and tower defense. You play a robot and you manage workers and then from time to time on the planet you're attacked by drones that gone rouge.

Besides its amazing micro scifi criticism, it is really done well, nice elements, highly addictive done with minimal element combination.

Really well done.
