The Lies We Tell Ourselves Review
THE PAST CAN HURT. YOU CAN EITHER RUN FROM IT, OR LEARN FROM IT. The Lies We Tell Ourselves is a first person, narrative driven, psychological horror game created by solo developer Poopsy. Available now on Steam is the first of three planned stand alone chapters. This game is not going to be for everyone. There will be players who love it, players who don’t get it and hate it, and players who fall somewhere in the middle. I was in the latter group for a good portion of the 3 hours it took me to complete the game, but my mind

Age of Darkness: Final Stand Review
White hot embers crackled and popped, bursting to the air. The fire was large and comfortable, but there was little glee to be found here. Men sat, helmets tucked between weary knees. Most sat in silence, some spoke in hushed whispers- voices barely rising above the scraping of tin against tin as they ate the meager nightly rations. Morale was wavering. The sky, sprinkled with diamonds gave no comfort- it was tainted- cursed with an eerie viridescent glow, infernal tongues nipping and writhing towards the sky. It was unnatural- the tell-tale sign of the Nightmares soon to come, to swarm the
Fountains Review
The thick rustle and snap of wool was deafening upon your rapidly unexpected descent. Down…down...down…down...You land with an unceremonious thud, a fluster of dust clamoring to the air at your sudden arrival, the specks flickering in the glaring sunlight that poured from the mouth of the craggy hollow above. Every bone in your body aches, ribs sore with each laborious breath. Even long after the sound of footsteps, hushed voices and clanking of armor fade, you are slow to rise. Groaning, you pull yourself to your feet, fingers rolling across your stinging palms as you dislodge debris of stone and bone:
Mutation Review
Authors Note: I was absolutely delighted to be informed that the developer was kind enough to take the time to read my article. Additionally, he was kind enough to clarify some areas where I needed to correct some facts, and gave some further understanding. The article below has been updated to reflect this. Of note, while published under the Ossified name, this was the passion project of one person (who has been accurately credited below) over the course of a year. During that time he made no profit off Mutation, entirely self funding.I would like to take the time to thank the

I know for a fact there are at least 2 game modes though.
There is payload and capture the point
SilverKurumi replied to HypnoticSilence September 26, 2016There's only one Game mode. Payload and Capture the Point are mixed as one hybrid game mode.
DjGus_PT October 02, 2016After patch 34, pure payload is now available to play, and a "new" champ added, along with skins, voice packs, etc etc etc
SilverKurumi replied to DjGus_PT October 08, 2016Yeah, I played it, Payload is a lot more fun.
Still gonna wait on a re-review when the game is off beta tho

Game has a lot of things in it to like ,but i'm not a fan of micro crafting and survival . Hope it's gonna be possible to still enjoy the story and other stuff in the final release without getting too bogged down in the bits i don't like.

Update:
An old batch of keys has become unstable, and we're working through them with customers as we speak. We're switching to a more reliable source, so key validity should improve in the coming days.
Thank you, everyone, for your patience and understanding as we trying to improve key stability.September 23, 2026 -

I was luck too, being able to snag it before it went missing! A few others as well, I'll eventually get to.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and thanks for the link! I'll absolutely give it a look!August 20, 2026 -

From what I've read, it doesn't sound like it's a hugely different experience from the original anyhow.
I mainly specified because that's the version I played.
You could probably aim for one episode at a time to keep things fresh in between other gaming goals and also as a way not to torture yourself by tackling all of Nightmare mode at once.That's one reason I was happy to have played on Luna - no achievements! So I don't feel compelled to go back and do that... I just glance at it occasionally as I'm scrolling... Should I? Eh... It's okay.
It does sound like a fun challenge, but I have other things to play. Like the sequel.August 05, 2026 -

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:
