While this game is a fun Where's Waldo sort of game, it does fall short in a few aspects. The main problem is that it is jammed full of pointless minigames that are both boring and slow the game down a lot. They are also often accompanied by timers which serve no purpose other than to make you restart the minigame if you fail. They ultimately feel like they are just there to pad out the length of the game.

Subsurface Circular is a great game, exploring the place of AI in society. It also has a nice tie-in to Thomas Was Alone.

This is a stunning game, with beautiful visuals and soundtrack. The storywhile minimalistic, is present and interesting. It is actually derived from the ancient Babylonian epic "Enuma Elis". It is short, but I know that I will definitely be coming back to swim with my favorite fishes again soon.

This game is very short, but quite good. Relaxing, and I like the felof the game.

This game has an interesting premise, decent visuals, and some fun mechanics. However, there were so many negative aspects that I found myself annoyed more often than not. This game is a platformer which requires you to be extremely accurate, but often places you in very dark places or has jumps that are frustratingly too large. And every time you mess up in the slightest, you have to start again from the last checkpoint. The lack of a quick reset button makes it really annoying to watch the falling animation over and over again.
Even though it promotes itself as a puzzle game, there are no puzzles. There's simply one right way to move through each section. At one point, you literally have to turn around and go back through what you just did, only with greater difficulty. While the store page says "Explore the World", you don't actually get to do any exploring. You just have to jump from platform to platform over and over again, and it gets quite repetetive.
The story was very short, almost nonexistent, and with an anticlimactic ending. You only really meet one character. A few others have speaking parts, but don't really contribute much to the story. The store page says "Emphasis on Story", but the amount of time the story is actually presented is about 15 minutes.
All in all, I would say that this game is rather mediocre. It has some interesting mechanics, but the poor story and gameplay make it fall flat on its face. I would not recommend purchasing this at full price. There are 15 achievements to get, but they are all so difficult, I didn't even get one during my playthrough.

This game is a great exploration into the possibilities that AI could bring to our world. The public mind often sees robots as only a threat, Terminator style. But there are so many other ways in which robots could enrich our lives.

THis game is very minimal, only text and selection boxes. I think that this is a great choice, as it allows the player to imagine their robots however they want. It also forces them to concentrate on what is being said and how their choices will affect the world around them. Without any save or back feature, every choice you make is important.

All in all, this is a great game. I look forward to seeing what the different endings have in store. I also plan to show this game to all my friends, to see how their lives and worlds turn out.

Lots of fun! This game's simple design and art style make it quite unique, and it has high replay value. Game progression is simple - defeating enemies rewards you with crystals, which you use in the title screen to purchase upgrades. It's a game which is easy to learn but hard to master. This is a fantastic game with lots of things to explore, and I look forward to any and all new developments.

This is a stunning and beautiful game. I did not expect much when I started playing it, but I was immediately drawn in by the stories and the characters. "Dust" is a beautifully crafted game, which nearly made me cry several times. Get it. Play it. Do it.

The best word I can use to describe this game is "beautiful". Every once in a while, you come across one of those games that is nearly flawless. This game is one of those. It is short, but sweet. I fell in love with the characters, with the story, with the narration, with the soundtrack, and with the gameplay. This is one of the best games I have ever played.

This game is seriously one of the best games I have ever played and one of my favorites. If you don't have it, get it. If you have it, play it. Seriously.
