Steam-Kurator: The Game Optician

Empfohlen 20. November 2021

"A collection of crime mystery narratives with some rough edges but solid acting and immersion. Still, there are other FMV experiences with more cohesive, thematic stories to be told / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 20. November 2021

"An atmospheric, cinematic soundtrack that meshes synths and chiptune for a sound that is powerful yet ambient, mysterious yet relaxing. Though not inherently “catchy”, the music entrances / Recommend"

Empfohlen 20. November 2021

"An excellent tower defense game with loads of replay value, modes, amazing music, and fun achievements. A charming game overall, though consider the mobile version for touch controls / Recommend"

Empfohlen 20. August 2021

"The peak of platforming and game design. Though fairly challenging, Celeste hides complexity in its simple controls and storyline, offering loads of creative scenarios and replayability / Must-Play"

"Despite some dated game design, RE4 is still fun with engaging setpieces and great pacing. Action and campy dialogue overtake the horror atmosphere, but the game has aged incredibly well / Recommend"

"A solid remaster whose unconventional vision is still trapped by the original game's flawed pacing and presentation. Despite great music, YMMV even if you're a fan of Nier:Automata / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 20. August 2021

"Heavily inspired by Ace Attorney, with its own unique focus on magic. The demo’s art, characters, story, and music hold promise, though the user interface is a bit rough / Upcoming"

Must-Play

“Everyone should experience these games!”

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"A game that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Beautiful graphics, refined gameplay, stellar music, enjoyable surprises, and nice replay value. Made by fans who understand the appeal of Sonic / Must-Play"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"A full package with a subtle storyline, amazing music, memorable stages and transitions, fun special stages, and replay value. One of the best Sonic games to date, alongside Sonic Mania / Must-Play"

Empfohlen 20. Juni 2021

"One of the most memorable experiences in recent time. The simple pixels hide a game with a powerful story, soundtrack, and direction. Funny dialogue, serious moments, and engaging gameplay / Must-Play"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"A nice celebration of Sonic’s rich history of both 2D and 3D. It’s a short game with passable writing, but has solid gameplay, great remixes, and replay value (collectibles, side missions) / Recommend"

Empfohlen 27. Juni 2021

"A difficult, yet addictive roguelike with a weird sense of humor. It may not be fun during the first 10 hours, but a good run and countless item synergies will keep you playing more / Recommend"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"A sequel that surpasses its predecessor in music, length, level design, and speed. There are some frustrating (special) stages, but the game is still worth checking out today / Recommend"

Empfohlen 26. Juni 2021

"A more improved, focused sequel with three distinct gameplay styles. An absurd but ambitious story, many music genres to bop to, and lots of content. Still a joy to play despite its flaws / Recommend"

Empfohlen 22. Juni 2021

"A “one-button” platformer with versatile game modes, great levels, a neat level editor, and endless user creations. However, updates are in hiatus and the community isn’t entirely friendly / Recommend"

Empfohlen 22. Juni 2021

"Incredibly difficult platformer with tight controls, precise speed, and loads of ideas. Has plenty of content and even harder challenges. Not for the casual gamer or easily frustrated / Recommend"

Empfohlen 26. Juni 2021

"Fast-paced action simple to understand and enjoy but has a high-ceiling for mastery. Has an incoherent plot and some dated mechanics, but has good music and an odd cast of characters / Recommend"

Empfohlen 20. Juni 2021

"A neat and innovative puzzle game with an intriguing setting. It is dated graphically and quite short, but Portal is certainly one to pick up at the frequent sale price of $2 or below / Recommend"

Empfohlen 24. Juni 2021

"Combo-heavy fighter with unique character playstyles, a neat tutorial, many collectibles, and awesome music. But online is subpar while the story mode is long-winded and filled with jargon / Recommend"

Empfohlen 22. Juni 2021

"A beautiful, mysterious journey with challenging gameplay, atmospheric music, and hidden secrets. The decision to omit words, however, often leads to mindless wandering and a cryptic story / Recommend"

Empfohlen 27. Juni 2021

"The most controversial entry that has the best visual style and extra content, but feels more drab, brutal, and sci-fi in its setting and story. Fans of 1 may like it more than fans of 2 / Recommend"

Empfohlen 22. Juni 2021

"A brutal yet quirky story with a fair cast of characters and plenty of mystery and atmospheric music. More interactive than most VNs and the most grounded entry in the series / Recommend"

Empfohlen 27. Juni 2021

"The brightest entry with arguably the most likeable cast. While not as grounded as the original, the game is still quirky, violent, filled with mystery, and riddled with despair / Recommend"

Empfohlen 20. Juni 2021

"A gorgeous pixel puzzle platformer with often contrived, complicated puzzles and secrets. Less about action, more about exploration. A guide is recommended to prevent frustration / Recommend"

"A colorful adventure with charming characters. While not as interactive as Danganronpa or Ace Attorney, fans of those franchises may enjoy this short game for its mystery and aesthetic / Recommend"

Take A Chance

“Anyone interested should consider these games.”

Empfohlen 20. Juni 2021

"A solid metroidvania with often unfair difficulty, backtracking, and vague storytelling. Combat, exploration, and music is simplistic, but the pixel art aesthetic is charming / Take A Chance"

$7.99

Empfohlen 26. Juni 2021

"Sonic’s big entrance into 3D… and it hasn’t aged well. Few game modes are infuriating (Big the Cat) and clunky, story is laughably charming, but the music is no joke. For the fans only / Take A Chance"

$0.99

Empfohlen 24. Juni 2021

"A short indie inspired by OFF with a few ideas of its own. Gameplay is RPGmaker-standard and environments aren’t anything beautiful. Still, the game is weird enough to check out / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 20. Juni 2021

"A story with extreme highs and twists, bogged by a slow first half, redundant character dialogue, and rough integration of animation. I’d recommend the anime or the original VN instead / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"An iconic platformer that oddly feels “slow” in comparison to later titles. While the game still looks and sounds great, the level design is often counterintuitive to going fast / Take a Chance"

"A memorable game from the Flash era. Taking off the nostalgia glasses, the game is unremarkable, from its dated artstyle to its reference-heavy humor. But still charming nonetheless / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 24. Juni 2021

"A niche fighter with a large cast (many clones) and bopping music tracks. But with poor online, incoherent story, and no tutorial, it may be better to check out Type Lumina instead / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 25. Juni 2021

"A surprisingly solid 2D platformer. Unlike Ep. 1, it tries to be more unique with its mechanics, environments, and bosses. Certainly a better sequel, but an okay 2D Sonic experience / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"Flawed team concept and not as smooth as Mario Kart. Tracks are large and vibrant, but soundtrack is hit-or-miss while Adventure Mode is tedious, underwhelming, and poorly written / Take A Chance"

"While nothing sets it apart from the ordinary RPGmaker game, the story is haunting and psychologically horrifying. If you don’t mind the graphics and short playtime, this is one to try / Take A Chance"

Empfohlen 21. Juni 2021

"An odd entry with experimental level design, mechanics, bosses, and environments. Aside from its incredible soundtrack, it’s hard to recommend before any other classic 2D Sonic title / Take a Chance"

These are games that stuck with me throughout the years. They may range from objectively poor games to great masterpieces, but all of them played a significant part in my life.

Sonic the Hedgehog

One of my favorite franchises since childhood. While recent titles have been quite rough, there's certainly great experiences from the past... and hopefully in the near future! Gotta go fast.
