ELEX Quickview

Elex is an action RPG set in a future where you will find a mix of future and past (and by past I mean the medieval era with swords and magic), so what about the game? 
The game is a mess of good and bad ideas, the character moves are terrible, the audio is the worst part of all, apparently it was recorded on a super small room or it was recorded with a bucket on the actor's head, the graphics are the best part of the game with some good textures and great environment. 
The gameplay in some parts reminded me of Fallout , where you need to open every desk or file cabinet to find stuff like cigars or a pack of cigars, ammo..
The audio and the player movement drowned the game, specially when you are in a fight and your character does not respond to your commands.
The developer (Piranha Bytes) had some amazing jobs like "Gothic" and "Risen" but this one will not be a good reference.

Spaceship Looter - Review

Review and Gameplay This game surprised me by it's gameplay..  it is fast, super fun and challenging. It is all about taking an abandoned spaceship, kill the aliens, robots and take the loot. The 2D graphics are very sharp and beautiful, the music motivates and invites you to keep playing. One great thing is that the levels are randomly generated so you will never get the same gameplay. Take a laser gun, fire, run, hide, take some enviroment objects and throw, take anything you can and throw, run even more, try to survive...  mix all these elements with great eletronic music and fast gameplay...  what do you get? Spaceship Looter, a must have indie game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/600630/Spaceship_Looter/ Here are some screenshots and a gameplay video. Gameplay video:

OBSERVER - review

    We are back with the reviews and now with an impressive game, Observer grabbed me since the first time I saw the trailer and now playing it and it is way much better than I expected.     You start the game as a kind of a Cop trying to solve a murder in a future where most of the people live inside of a matrix, but the interesting part is that it has a power outage so everyone is out of the "dream life" and all locked inside of their apartment, so along with the murder case you also need to understand and probably try to fix the power issue.     Talking about the game basics: - The graphics are amazing (it makes a lot of triple A games looks like an 8 bit one), jokes apart it has some impressive quality of 3D modeling, natural colors and a great ambient created .. it fits perfectly with it´s psychological horror genre. - The sound is immersive and it takes you exactly where the game is - the sound is a key point for this genre and Observer deli...
