I fire up the game. There's field to click. I do so, and right there and then an anime girl shows up. She's got blue bikini with a dot. I click another field, and a very similar anime girl pops out... but the bikini is pink with a dot. How can this be? I try again. It's green. I persevere and finally find a way to the anime girl's heart, finding a matching image. She disappears. Just like in real life. I win. Is it a victory? I get a new anime girl picture in either case. I do it again, not learning anything.

Short and casual point & click adventure game with no text or speech outside of menu, so I reckon it should be nice for smaller kids and speakers of all languages. Simple wholesome story and an excellent art style that was translated into motion nicely. There's pictorial hints system, similar as in Machinarium.

A good sequel - or more accurately, a level pack, for Suicide Guy. Only 5 levels in this, but most of them match or exceed the size and/or complexity of the biggest levels from the base game.

Surprisingly fun game. A first person puzzle platformer where the goal of every one of 24 levels is to kill yourself. The levels are each very different, based on various pieces of popculture, and the puzzles are easy enough to figure out on your own in the end, but not that obvious sometimes. Platforming is easy and quite forgiving. Not everything you pick up for fifty cents on a sale is a shovelware, folks. Great casual game.

A non-linear 3D puzzle platformer where your character can walk on walls, and in the beginning that's the only thing it can do. Throughout the game you acquire other abilities that then let you reach areas you couldn't before. If you don't like backtracking, you can use the map to teleport to any visited level, and it also shows you which way to go if you're lost. Both gameplay and audiovisual parts of the game are excellent. Despite there being no story, and no characterization of your character at all, it kept me interested to the very end, and I consider it among the best 3D platformers I've ever played. Good stuff.

It's just okay. Fun for a while, but two-handed weapons not being fun to use limits you greatly (just in choice, you can kill everything with a pistol). Honestly preferred the original.

I waited too long with buying the game because I had the wrong impression that it's a 3hr long walking simulator. It's much more. Some parts are bit walksimmy, sure, but there's plenty puzzles, both essential and optional, and a great atmosphere of what feels like a city in a mix of Finland and a post-Soviet EE, where corruption goes hand in hand with universal decay and indifference. It took me 18 hours to finish the game, and I admit for the most part I was like the opposite of a completionist, so there's potential for a much longer playtime. A real gem.

Much better than the first game, with some fun mechanics using the touch controllers. One downside of its non-linear nature is possibly not really knowing whether you just don't know how to solve a puzzle or can't solve it yet.
Be warned that there are some unskippable timed puzzles that require quick reactions and dexterity, and especially the last one can be too much for someone. Still, quite enjoyed this one, especially after a bit meh first episode. Will we ever see Ep 3? Who knows.

It's... okay, but very short and it doesn't really do much with VR's capabilities.

Fun game with the coolest helicopter ever, varied missions and locales, and nice and easy controls even with a mouse. I enjoyed it a lot.
