Mad Games Tycoon 2 is surely one if not the best game developper simulation tycoon game.

It presents tons of features to create your very own game company that can range from indie developper to a whole AAA editor buying every devs that exists.
The game use a system of genres and types of games that needs certain stats to be appreciated by both critics and audience aswell as specific game plateforms inspired by real life ones.
You can also have mods to add custom content on top of these.

The game asks you to multitask between development, sound design, research, graphic design, marketing, QoL, game testing, and even motion capture or server management for MMOs. It truly explores the vast range of games and of the universe of video game sellers too, as you can create bundles, demos, engines, premium and GOTY editions, DLC, expansion packs and else....

Chants of Sennaar is a really interesting puzzle game that explores the mysteries of a Babel-like tower where every floor speak a different language and have a different culture and vision on other floors' peoples.
I first have to say that I'm a linguist so the principle of learning new languages was a direct catch but may have then been too easy for me. Anyway I had a great time and finished the game in one run (which I would recommend if you don't want to forget languages' structures).

In the game you have to find meanings to different written characters that define fictionnal languages. You can first type a guess of the meaning in the notebook in the game and it'll later be confirmed through drawings. You don't really have to guess it forever as the words themselves will be confirmed, and therefore locked, by the game.

The game is quite short as I took 10 hours to 100% it. It is fairly easy and as a puzzle game it does not require a lot of skill or agility, tho' there are some infiltration parts that ask you to do things with a certain timing, but it is accessible to everyone I think. The graphic and audio design are simple to read and very pretty and the cultural differences really shine through both music and drawings. It soothes you on certain floors while it'll tense you on other. Great job on these two parts!

The YES:
- Game is pretty. Like really. Pretty and without a lot of details which make it kind of philosophical.
- A game where you have to guess languages to find clues for the story is always cool.
- Some cultures and languages can hint at real ones which could be a nice add for some people that love cultural appreciation! :)
- The story in itself is kind of intriguing I love it progressing with the different floors.
- Very accessible with few "tense" parts. Could be played on a tactile touch screen if it was available. :D
- Performance-friendly
- Lot of translations for the UI

The MID:
- The game is really easy. Maybe too much ? But at the same time it's not very complex so I guess it's a good compromise?
- No oral language but yes, it would have been a heavy task so I understand, no worries.

The MEH:
- The game is short. It's kinda sad as the fifth floor is just a few panels and the fifth language is deciphered in only a few minutes.
- The pace of the game can be quite slow at most time, mostly when you have to run (walk) across the level to find a clue that you missed. At least the sceneries are pretty.
- For this length (~10h for 100%) and a very low replayability the price can be considered a bit high.

Le mode PMZ rajoute une réelle fraicheur au mode battle royale en proposant un PvPvE similaire au jeu Escape From Tarkov.
Vous vous lancez dans la carte en escouade de trois pour looter un maximum d'argent, d'objets précieux ou d'armes et en complètant des objectifs tout en faisant attention aux autres joueurs qui ont les mêmes objectifs et aux bots qui défendent des POI, tout ça en n'oubliant pas de s'extraire si vous ne voulez pas perdre définitivement votre équipement.

Très bon ajout pour les joueurs les moins PVE et préférant une tactique similaire à un jeu de survie/RPG par moment sans pour autant omettre le challenge que ce soit avec les IA ou les joueurs présents.

I love pancakes

Killed a violent goose which was chasing an old coward and my colonist became a noble with a land and responsabilities. Unfortunately, because he didn't want to eat the same food than those plebeians he died in a mental breakdown outside, in the winter cold.

10/10 would die as a snob again

You actually feel cool while playing this game. Like, really.

Une sacrée suite à Risk of Rain.
Pour avoir passé un certain temps sur RoR premier du nom j'ai été très surpris et inquiet dès les premières annonces du passage à la 3D, RoR arrivant déjà à nous perdre sur ses maps et amenant déjà beaucoup d'éléments à l'écran.

Mais au final le rendu même en Early Access est très satisfaisant.
On a toujours cette sensation de chaos avec beaucoup d'ennemis, on ne se perd pas tant que ça dans les cartes disponibles, les graphismes et le design en 3D est vraiment très sympathique et on a même la présence des objets ramassés sur notre personnage.

On retrouve le contenu du premier jeu avec quelques changements pour l'adapter à la 3D avec quelques ajouts plutôt sympathique, on a l'arrivée d'une monnaie qui transcende les sessions de jeu et permet donc d'avoir une plus grande progression de Rogue-Like.

La durée de vie du jeu est déjà plutôt moyenne en son état d'early access (Pas de fin pour l'instant mais déjà +5 personnages à débloquer, plusieurs maps et boss et une partie peut bien faire déjà au moins 1 heure ou 2) donc à voir sur la durée combien de personnages/maps/boss/objets/lore/... seront ajoutés~
On a aussi la présence d'un mod de survie en solo avec classement où tous les joueurs font le meilleur score sur la même map, un petit plus assez sympathique pour les avides de scoring.

CLEM CLEM CLEM. CLEM.
GRAKATA. CLEM, CLEM, GRAKA-CLEM, CLEM KATA GRAKATA CLEM !

Avoir une extension 11 ans après justifie beaucoup à quel point on peut apprécier ce jeu.
