BeastieBall Review
Set. Spike. Win!IntroductionOh no. Can you feel it? The tingling for a new adventure, or perhaps the urge to collect all that you see—because that is the way.This is a refreshing and artful take on an iconic genre of games, those known to inspire an obsession with cute little creatures.And yet, while the monster-collecting RPG are the game's core, I think the application and design of actual combat breaks through and beyond that template.Did I forget to mention? This game is all about Volleyball Beastieball. You build your team and you compete for points against others.I didn't think it would happen
Last Time I Saw You Review
Simply Beautiful.Lost in the MemoryThere is a special place in my heart, for games like this.Games that speak to the soul and childhood innocence; stories that pull you back to a time of wonder, of discovery, of joy.This is an emotional experience, one best enjoyed snuggled up in a comfy blanket and dim lights.This game is so...Cozy.The aloof and warm feeling that Ghibli movies instill is wonderful, and this is a game that taps into that feeling, as well as the obvious 80s Japanese style and setting that encompasses it.For those of you who have watched My Neighbour Totoro or Ponyo,
Cookie Cutter Review
Cookie Cutter is a new cartoon Metroidvania that ticks all the expected boxes and does so with a hefty dose of brutality and mature humor. It’s hand-drawn class at the service of an imminently playable platformer, one that follows the rules of the genre and gets more versatile as you unlock additional abilities. The addictive loop and fun main character turn this into a game that you should not miss if you are into love-driven androids out for a vengeance.Cherry on TopDescribed as Tarantino meets Japanese manga, Cookie Cutter does shine through some features out of these inspirations. The exaggerated violence
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery Review
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is both art in videogames and a videogame about art. A relaxing adventure about a young painter with the goal of achieving her masterpiece, this turns out to be an emotional ride with many layers and surprises before the unexpected conclusion. Sadly, the whole journey is too short and unless you get stuck on a particular puzzle, it’s over in a couple of hours, DLC included.The Painting of a LifetimeWhat begins as a routine day in the life of this yet unnamed aspiring artist ends up as a strange, often surreal undertaking. Realized in first-person

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:
