Fun ... But Also A Little Frustrating

I thought this game was rather enjoyable, but it's not without its flaws. The character movement can be very clunky when you click on their directions. Sometimes they'll go where you ask, and other times they'll do something completely different. I've also found that the save feature is basically broken. I started a game and saved it for the next day, only to find that the game didn't save anything at all. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. The enemies are also a bit spammy. It takes forever to build up your army, but once the enemies arrive they basically just roll right over you. It wouldn't be so bad if everything didn't take so long to build up (especially saving up to upgrade your town). That being said, it's still a pretty good game. It could use a bit more balancing, but it's still an enjoyable experience.

Faithful Remaster

The companies that are remastering all of these Apogee games are absolute legends! Every single one of them remains faithful to their original counterparts, but adds just enough of a modern touch to bring the game into the modern era. You can even switch to the classic view if you want, but I find the new style looks so much better. I also love how the devs have added a brand new episode to each game, so you really feel like you got your money's worth. I just finished playing through the game, and you can get about 6-8 hours of gameplay from start to finish (8-10 for a completionist). As far as the price is concerned, $15-20 is more than reasonable for what you're getting. The controller support also works flawlessly on my 8BitDo controller. I can't recommend this game enough, and I really hope the devs bring Duke Nukem 1-2 Remasters to GOG and other platforms. It's a shame that it's stuck on the Evercade ... even if it is a great little console.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Pretty Game, With Annoying Difficulty

I made the mistake of reviewing this game before I even had time to play it, and I’ve regretted that decision ever since (hense all the thumbs downs). Thankfully, GOG now lets you delete or edit old comments. I’ve been waiting for Silksong since the day it was announced, and it was by far the oldest game on my wishlist. I loved the first game, completed it 100%, and couldn’t wait for more. But Silksong wasn’t quite what I expected. It’s undeniably beautiful, with stunning art, creative characters and fantastis music, but the difficulty spike hit me hard. I was hoping for a good story-driven experience with a gradual increase in challenge, yet the game throws you straight into the deep end and never lets up. I don’t mind tough games, but Silksong feels frustrating rather than rewarding. It’s as if the devs wanted to test players’ patience with every possible punishing mechanic. To make matters worse, your character never seems to grow stronger, so it becomes a cycle of “try to get good” and die—over and over again. I still respect the artistry and effort behind Silksong, but I wish it had a better balance between challenge and fun. Maybe one day I’ll give it another shot, but for now, it’s just not the experience I was hoping for.

Has Potential If The Developer Fixes It

This game could have been really great, but it's very clear that the developer didn't take the time to get the a.i. right, or work out all of the bugs. It's hard to explain how much of a mess this game is, because it seems like it works fine when you start playing it, but the problem comes in with the procedurally generated levels, and HORRIBLE a.i. controlling the characters. I played this game for hours only to get soft-locked over and over again. I finally made it to level 3 (after overcoming many janky issues), only to play for another couple of hours and then got my ship stuck at a enemy portal with absolutely no way to progress. I did everything I could to get the ship moving again, but no matter what I tried, nothing worked. It would be great if the devs allowed you to control tasks, or send the workers to a specific location, but unfortunately it's all random ... and it DOESN'T WORK. It feels like the devs have a great idea in their heads, but didn't quite know how to implement it. I ended up giving up on the game, but I'm willing to go back to it if they fix it. I hope the devs knows that I refuse to buy any more games from them until they fix this one.

Ridiculous Gaslighting

I honestly can't believe that GOG is releasing games from this publisher. These games are all purposely trying to antagonise people of faith in the name of "art". The descriptions of the game alone are extremely insulting to the Christian tradition. You can call it "art" all you want, but mocking people of faith, the crucifixion and those who suffered at the hands of tyrants is truly despicable.

Best Survival Game of All Time!

I was hesitant to get this game due to the reviews, but I ended up getting it on a sale. I'm actually kind of annoyed that it has such a low rating on GOG, because it doesn't deserve a 3 star rating at all. This is one of the best survival games that I have ever played. It's very similar to games like Sheltered and The Flame and The Flood, but the level of detail in this game is absolutely mind blowing. There are so many objects and items that you can craft, and an endless variety of quests and daily activities to keep you busy. I was going to wait to submit my review, but I've already put a few dozen hours into the game and I'm absolutely loving it. I have stumbled across a few minor bugs, but nothing game breaking. Overall I would highly recommend buying this game. It's well worth the price!

Best Survival Game of All Time!

I am a huge fan of games like The Flame and The Flood, so I decided to give this one a try. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. This game is so incredibly huge that it actually rivals that of Breath of the Wild and Tears of The Kingdom in terms of content. The basic premise of the game is to walk around a post-apocalyptic world disassembling everything you see around you in order to get stronger and obtain parts for crafting. When you start the game you're only able to destroy certain things, but as you upgrade your abilities you're then able to destroy bigger and bigger items, until you can basically can destroy anything and craft anything. The combat in this game is also really great, but starts out a bit clunky. The devs did a great job at making a lot of the enemies really scary to come across in the wild, so it adds a fun level of suspense as you're roaming the world. There are only two things I didn't really like about the game, but they are rather minor. #1. It's hard to know where you are, or where you need to go. This forces you to explore the world a lot more, but it also causes you to get distracted and forget to complete certain tasks. #2. The checkpoint placement is okay, but it hurts a lot when you end up dying when you've wandered far enough from a checkpoint. I would have preferred a more balanced checkpoint system, such as having more access to teleporting to other parts of the map. That being said, I plan on putting well over 100 hours into this game, as well as completing the expansion packs. This game is well worth the price, and I can't recommend it enough!

Such a Great Game

This is one of those games that really surprises you. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did, but it is such a blast to play. The graphics are simple, yet charming in it's own way. The controls are extremely fine tuned, so any mistake is completely your fault, yet each level feels like it's within reach to beat. I'm not sure what else I can say beyond the fact that this is a great value! 3 games for $10! You won't be sorry!
