Not a game but an emotion.

Not my cup of tea.

A different and fresh take on puzzle game. Will update the review once i finish the game.

Brilliance! Never have I played a 2d metroidvania with such depth and lore. Eagerly waiting for Silksong.

Very well thought out and comprehensive game. Highly recommended.

Kingdom New Lands is one of a kind game. Initially, I was skeptical and the game looked downright easy. However, as the game progress, the challenge increases manifold. The best part is the game tells you a story without a word or tutorial. The nitty-gritty of the gameplay is taught through nicest subtleties.

I really like how forest disappears making way for farming land and pastures, how light and snow gleams through the water. The environment and art direction execution are flawless so are the music. It enthuses the player in a spellbinding force.

Granted the gameplay is repetitive but its applicable to even AAA games, same old chores side missions and whatnot have always made the game benign. I managed to 100% complete the game with all achievements and unlike the palpable fear I managed to do it ease. Had it been not for the achievement I could have pushed it past 120 days.

Overall its a nice twist on strategy game and it's not for everyone. I really like the game and I highly recommend it, the game asks you to put your best foot forward and teaches you a very important lesson in life - making the most with the least. I am eagerly looking forward to the sixth island and the next iteration, however, I wish the developer make substantive changes in the next version unlike they had made in the earlier and current version.

Trine 2 CS is an enchanting 2D side scroller game that steps into the realm of realism and jaw dropping graphics. Trine 2 bestow us with spectacular scenarios with ever changing level dynamics that shifts its paradigm with every level, the level of detail immerse you and binds you deeply into the game.

Trine 2 offers gameplay that is far more challenging and enticing than the previous version - Trine2 is a far cry from its predecessor in all the department and completely sets the benchmarks when it comes to 2D side scroller games. The lush , vibrant and detailed environment grasp you and moves you towards it. The Goblin Menace DLC deserves a special mention since it takes the game to a whole new level both in term of variety and features - loaded with new abilities and off the charts looks this is perhaps the best DLC ever created for any game.

Topped with brilliant music that soothes you and gels well with the game dynamics - the highs and low provide a perfect blend with the ever changing moments in the game. The really intriguing aspect of the game is the gameplay - a whopping 20+ hours of normal gameplay is not expected specially from an indie developer which obviously came as a surprise. You can stretch anywhere between 40-50 hours if you gunning for 100% achievements.

Aside from few lackluster boss level (which is good but not groundbreaking ) and some minor glitches here and there - Trine 2 is a gamer delight - oozing with beautiful graphics, bright colour, great gameplay with ever changing dynamics and tactics makes the game a must have item in your game library. Here's hoping that the next installment will be even more challenging and gorgeous than ever.

Toki Tori 2+ is gem of a game with perplexing game play, astounding graphics coupled with soothing soundtracks that inculcates aspect of nature which makes the game a delight. The cute protagonist though lack powers makes up with its habitat and creatures all around.

The games may be daunting at times but its so enticing and creative that every time you gets stuck, you keeps coming back for more - trying harder and harder to close the gap. Unlike other puzzle game - Toki Tori 2+ comes with cool background, art and music to provide an enriching game play that is not synonymous of the ubiquitous experience served these days - A fresh approach and soundtrack that drenched you in the divine acoustics is hard to come by. Toki Tori 2+ has all that deeply instilled within.

Toki Tori 2+ is by far the most refreshing and fresh game that I have played till date - Stretching more than 30+ hours of gameplay (if you are gunning for 100% achievement) is a welcome for such a great price tag- Best of the lot is despite perplexing gameplay and achievements, Toki Tori doesn't look bland or repetitive at all.

Toki Tori 2+ is a must have game if you like refreshing gameplay, platformer and puzzle genre- heck with a price tag so low I'd recommend grabbing the game with both hands just for the awesome sound and cute characters - The only gripe I has the lack of premium editon or OST purchase option for the game!

DMC is a fun and addictive game. Downright sexy graphics and not too taxing on the hardware makes it a subtle experience even on low end PCs. Topped with brilliant fighting style and plethora of combos to try out, this new breed of game is sure fun to play.

The mix of level and bosses can be daunting at times but once you get the basics right its just another level, heck some normal enemy (read Dreamrunner) feels more more taxing than certain boss(es). Things gets interesting when you crank the difficulty at SOS (Sun of Sparda) though.

Overall DMC is a must have game if you like slashing, hacking your way through. Unique blend of story, emotions and fighting makes its a great game to play. A must have third person fighting game.

Awesome looking AOE till date and best of all its free to play and supports HD display and textures. Plus the hand crafted artwork is just too good.

Even though I was a hardcore AOE gamers getting used to this since there are boatloads of changes and elements to this game. A must try for AOE aficionado.
