Sexy Serial Killer is an ugly asset mash featuring grotesque, big breasted mannequins, sickening motion blur, loud, repetitive stock music and poor visibility. It’s buggy on top of all that, with the killer rarely spawning for me. The game also made me feel physically and emotionally ill. Suffer with me in my first impressions video.

Edit - the developer claims to have fixed the no spawning issue (which was tied to the radio), which is good I guess. Just everything else to worry about now.

Lazily made and utterly pointless, I’m amazed this got a Steam release; and yet, I’m not...
Steam is crying out for some decent quality control because it’s becoming a dumping ground for bileware, asset flips, poorly made copy-cats, free to play dross and barely functioning early access games. Here’s a brief first impressions for this and a mini rant about Steam in general.

UPDATE - as numerous other people have pointed out in the hub and reviews, this game used to be called Trynitz and was an asset rip of UnitZ. Malhone rips an entirely different unity asset. One without zombies.

Goblin Gearshop is a competent simulation game. The mechanics are sound and the game ‘works’ well. The graphics are clean, functional and-God I can’t keep this up, it’s so, so dull! This tedious crafting game only has 4 levels which are basically tutorials. It might be a smidgen of fun if it had online co-op, but it doesn’t.

If you’re making a game about a weighty topic like slavery then you should probably try not to make it a horribly broken mess. We Walked In Darkness feels tonally off, has dated visuals and awful animations. The gameplay is also incredibly ropey due to the floaty jumps, awkward stealth and imprecise controls, which sometimes don’t work at all. I also found it odd that on this eye bleeding plantation the guards outnumber the slaves by a huge margin. My first impressions video is below.

Yume Nikki is a relaxing, surrealist walking simulator. It’s almost ASMR like in fact, with the calming music and bright, simplistic visuals. You’ll probably have a good idea if this is for you based on that description. It wasn’t for me though.

That isn’t to say that the game is terrible, because clearly some effort and imagination went into making it. Yume Nikki also encourages experimentation and occasionally rewards it, but I found the experience rather boring and because of the game's age, any unique, novelty aspect is long gone. Surreal walking sims and art games are pretty common place now so it doesn’t stand out, even if it was a pioneer. The 2D view doesn't help with immersion much either, and Undertale is a thing now... (not the same thing, no. Apparently that needs to be pointed out).

This is another instance of Steam needing a middle ground review button, because Cally’s Caves 4 is ‘Meh: The Video Game’. I don’t think I can personally recommend it because this kind of run and gun game isn’t usually my cup of tea, especially when it doesn’t do anything new. If you’re a big fan of games like Cave Story then you might get something out of this, or it’ll disappoint you.

Dragon’s Sin is an extremely short action game where you fight a succession of Dragons (that look more like reptilian dogs). Combat is similar to brawlers like God of War, with light and heavy attacks that you can string into combos. There is also a dodge that is hard to time and you can transform into a ‘Dragon’, which sounds more exciting than it is. The animations are fairly poor as is the camera, which makes the simple combat kind of irritating.

This is a student project though and the production values are really good with that in mind. I’d recommend this because it’s a nice concept and it’s free.

This feels like an early-access title, but it’s not… Wheel Riders Online is confusing and crashes often. It may be partly due to my own incompetence, but I couldn’t even play the game and was stuck in the unintuitive vehicle editor. You can’t just pick a car and join a game; instead you have to build your own in the games editor, with next to no instruction. It comes across as overly complicated and unfinished (perhaps the simplicity has been lost in translation).

So my first impressions of the game aren't good, and this is coming from someone who loved the Redwall books as a child. What little game there is almost unplayable as you can’t move the camera, which I really hope was a bug rather than a feature. This meant I couldn’t see where I was going half the time and resulted in numerous deaths and my character getting stuck on scenery. You can have a look at this mess in my first impressions video.

This game also fails to capture the atmosphere and look of the books and is pretty ugly visually. Of course it doesn’t help that I’ve recently played Ghost of a Tale which looks gorgeous and has a cast of wonderfully animated characters who are charming and endearing. The design of locations and music in that game also fit the fantasy world of Redwall much better than the design and music on offer here. The music is actually one of the only positives but it just doesn’t fit with the fantasy/medieval setting.

If you’re a Redwall fan (or were) then check out Ghost of a Tale and maybe return here in a year or so to see if things have improved.

I’ll get this right out of the way; the game is terrible and you shouldn’t play it. Controls don’t work like they do in your typical ARPG as you can’t move if you click on the wrong area of the screen. Attack isn’t set to left click either and I couldn’t find it after mashing my keyboard. It also looks dated and has an out of place and confusing UI.
