Psychonauts Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:


Psychonauts is one of the craziest, action-adventure i have every played and that can never be bad sign.
The story is staring Raz, a run away boy, that went to Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp, with a dream of becoming a psychonaut. "What is a psychonaut?", you ask. Well a  psychonaut is a person, who can use psychic abilities, like levitation, or mind reading and some that are much cooler. So your goal is to complete the psychonaut training, before your parents come and take you home.   

But the lessons, are not you standard sit down and take notes, oh no. In order to learn you must go in to other people's minds, usually your teachers minds. And that is where most of the craziness comes from. Of course the cartoony graphics, the lovable and funny characters complete this strange and crazy world.This game will just makes you smile, every time you play it.

From a gameplay standpoint, its а standard action-adventure game, with a lot of platforming and a lot of things to collect. The fighting is somewhat simplistic, but once you get the really fun spells, like pyrokinesis, it becomes pretty enjoyable. Overall you never feel like you are doing something meaningless, or tedious, so it's certainly better then some other action-adventure game.


The PC port feels really tight and well polished, you can still see console elements in it, but its nothing to die about.
To top it all of, Psychonauts is awesome, crazy, off it's rockers and if you are sick of all of the COD and BF clones that we have now, you should get it. At the moment its one Steam and GOG for PC and MAC.

I hope you liked my review of Psychonauts.

Super Crate Box Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:



Super Crate Box is a simple, free, retro platformer.
The goal is the game, is to get as many crates as possible, while dogging and killing enemies. Every time you get a crate - your weapon changes. Every weapon is used in a different way, so you must adapt fast to the new situation, or you will die. 


In the meantime, enemies are falling threw a hole in the sealing and are trying to get to the fire, at the bottom. If they reach it, they change color from green to red, they fall threw the hale once again, but this time they are much faster and harder to kill. So its best to kill them while they are slow and weak. Unfortunately that is not always possible, if you had a bad gun at the time. 



The retro 8-bit feel is captured really well, both threw the pixelated graphics style and the really good chiptunes. Also the game is unforgivingly hard, if you touch anenemy - you die, if you fall in the fire - you die. 
But there is a modern twist to the game - a progression system. You can unlock new levels, weapons and skins, by collecting more crates. That way Super Crate Box always feels fresh and never gets boring. 


To top it all of Super Crate Box is a fun and addicting, retro platformer, with a very interesting concept. 
And the best part is that its free, so you can get it from http://supercratebox.com/ .

I hope you liked my review of 
Super Crate Box.

Limbo Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:



Limbo is a very simple and very enjoyable, puzzle-platformer.
The story line is basic, to say the least. You are a boy with no name, who went down in Limbo, in search of his missing sister.
You soon realize that there is only one rule in Limbo - everything kills you. So you must avoid traps, tribesman, spiders and much more, in order to save your sister.



The most interesting thing about Limbo is the monochromatic, black and white graphic stile. It gives the game somewhat creepy feeling. That feeling is strongly reinforced, by the sounds and music. 


The gameplay is one of the simplest i have seen. Most of the puzzles are physics based where you have to drag an item, use a switch, time a jump, or something similar. The puzzles become fairly challenging by end of the game, and you can get a lot of enjoyment, by solving them. 


To top it all of, Limbo is a fun, creepy, puzzle-platformer, with characteristic graphic style.

I hope you liked my review of Limbo.

Trine 2 Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:



Trine 2 is a colorful, puzzle platformer, with various obstacles, that you have to overcome.
The story starts with the mysterious Trine - a magical artifact, that has the power to bind the souls, and destinies, of people to. The Trine seeks out the heroes from the first game - Amadeus , Pontius and Zoya. After the artifact "recruits" them - the adventure begins.





The Trine basically provides character switching, between the three heroes. As you probably guessed each hero is good and some task and bad at others. 
Zoya is a fast thief, she can jump the highest, out of the three characters. She also has a grappling hook and uses a bow for a weapon. Amadeus is a not so powerful Wizard. He can case boxes, planks and he can levitate things. And finally we have the brave knight Pontius. He uses melee weapons and is best at killing enemies and smashing walls down. 


To solve the physics puzzles, in single player, you have to use the best characters for the task, or combination of all three. There are no restrictions on how to solve the puzzles, as long as you can do it. 
In the three player multiplayer its a bit different, because each player controls one of the heroes and you must find a way, to get all of the characters to the end of the level.


One of the most impressive things about the game is the lighting engine. Doesn't matter, if the light is coming from the sun, the moon, or a torch, it looks beautiful. And that is the theme that is maintained threw the entire game - just beautiful. 
The only problem i found, is that sometimes you don't know what you have to do to solve a puzzle. But these cases are rear and you find the answer, after some trial and error.


To top it all of, Trine 2 is a beautiful game, with good puzzles, nice story and solid gameplay. 

I hope you liked my review of Trine 2.
