So I continue with my adventure into my Steam backlog, I had chance today to play three games that I haven’t touched before and I quite enjoyed scanning through titles I remember wishlisting a buying during sales.
So I played some games that were all a little different.
Unstoppable Gorg is a 2012 Tower Defense game from Futuremark, I found the mechanic of the game rather fun as it added a different dimension to the order and way you built towers. The game storyline is rather fun and fully embraces the B movie era with it’s video pieces.
I don’t know where to start with Dr. Langeskov, the game take traditional game tropes and twists them into something unexpected. I really enjoyed playing the game and it had me laughing at times, much like Stanley Parable.
Dear Esther :LE is the revamped version of the original game now in the Unity Engine instead of Source, the sound has been remastered.
It had been some time since I had played this title and I feel I’ve half remembered much of the game, it was nice to have a reminder of my first thoughts on the game. The story is still as gripping as it was the first time.
If the game Outrun and the film Crank had a child it would be Outdrive, a fairly straight forward game that needs you to drive and drift a vehicle but also manage the power so it’s not going too fast or slow. It was tricky to get it right to start with but after a while it was second nature.
Last word is a fun little game that has a combat system that requires a little strategy in order to beat your opponent. The aim of the battles is to always have the last word. The artwork is very nice and the soundtrack was also rather pleasant.
I’m surprised that the game hasn’t made the leap into mobile platform as it could work quite well.
This puzzle game was a blast, Cubot slowly ramps up the difficulty as it introduces new mechanics for you to master (overcome). The first 4 sections I took in my stride then things got more difficult and I didn’t have the time to sit and work out the solutions, but I can see me going back to try and complete the game in full.
