Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Review
Time to dive into Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which was developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America and released on PC on 6 July 2021. Are you guys ready for this one? After the amazing experience I had with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (which I also reviewed right here: LINK), my expectations were really high this time!Once again, we’re back with Adol Christin, the red-haired adventurer. This time, he arrives in the city of Balduq… and gets arrested right away. Not a great start, huh? But quite interesting, at least for me...But things became even more crazy, a mysterious woman named Aprilis gives him
DEVOUR Review
Survival horror with friends? Yeah, why not!?Devour isn’t exactly new you might’ve heard of it already. It was developed and published by Straight Back Games and first released on January 28, 2021, but since then, quite a few things have changed.They have added a VR mode, which sounds nice actually, though I haven’t tried it myself. What I did play was the regular co-op mode with some friends. There are new maps now, which is great, back when I first played, there were only around four, so more variety was definitely needed, I first played and they have introduced new characters
Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? Review
It’s time for a mix of horror and first-person puzzle with the original and interesting title Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? developed and published by Stately Snail, and released on 13 November 2024. Personally, I love puzzle games, so escape rooms and horror in one? Why not give it a try, right? So when I found the game, I felt like instantly playing it. It didn't really look like horror based on what I could see on Steam, but I still thought it looked interesting. I'm here for the puzzles, after all and I like to think a bit sometimes,
Lorn's Lure Review
Delicate clouds kissed a pastel blue sky. The jagged stone obelisks seemed less harsh. Softer, almost gentle. The warm sun overhead basking them in a rich golden glow, teeming with life. It was all so beautiful…Lush green grass kissed every nook, cranny, and crevice- it flowed like water, bubbling up from beneath metal grates, and rusty pipes.But I still felt trapped. Then I saw it…followed it… down…down… down into an abyss. The darkness all consuming, and unknown. The sound of wings beat in the dark. How foolish I was then… 253 years ago…There is… no going back. There is no way back...you must now
Lies of P Review
A mechanical click. The system thrums to life.Ba-dump. Tick.Strong yet intricate fingertips flex, eliciting a soft whirr of mechanics, before wrapping the surprisingly articulate tips around the edge of the chair. Artificial muscles flex.Ba-dump. Tock.Ebony eyelashes flutter, parting to reveal cobalt irises. The grip tightens, a boyish frame rising from the plush red velveteen of the chair. Ba-dump. Tick.Thoughts, memories, experiences and LIFE course through inner workings, glowing bright and blue. Gears turn and springs flex and release. A mechanical heart beats and thrums in time with the rise and fall of each step.Ba-dump. Tock.The partially coagulated blood gives a soft

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:
