A beautiful game with enchanting graphics.
No management, no goals, just relax and build. Whether it's a castle or ruins, there are no limits to your imagination. A cemetery with a gloomy atmosphere, a witches' village, surrounded by water, flowers, trees, just as you like it.
And most importantly, you can pet the ducks and sheep.
Thank you devs for this beautiful game.

A clear recommendation to buy. 10 / 10

Pro:

Nothing


Contra:

- Very poor graphics
- Very bad animations. When the characters walk or run it looks more than funny. If you carry the dead bodies of your friends it gets even worse.
- No atmosphere in the game
- Bad gameplay. If your mates die, you can revive them. Unless they are crushed by a trap, for example, and you can't get to the dead body. But then you can revive your mates at the merchant. For in-game money, of course. In other words, you first have to go back to the catacombs to collect vases, which you can then sell at the merchant (to whom you first have to travel) before you can revive your mate. The dead mate can then be a spectator for half an hour until he can play again. Or uninstall the game during the half hour and play something else.

No purchase recommendation. Refunded.

Sorry, but I have to give a thumbs down.
It's an early access game, I know, it still feels very incomplete, especially the building mode leaves a lot to be desired.

+ Areas are not too big, just right for exploring
+ Main and side quests are not too difficult
+ You can find tons of decoration material for your house in every chest or as a reward for quests along the way
+ Beautiful graphics
+ Great music, except in the 2nd area, where there is no more music (maybe a bug)

- No auto-safe!
- The village in both the starting area and the 2nd area look empty
- The NPCs look monotonous and wooden
- Important things, like the mirror where you can customize your clothes and character, can be found randomly in the world. Such important things should be rewards for quests.
- Big minus for the building system. How often do I just want to remove a window, for example, and tear down half the wall with it? Very bad, but in every game I know, is to make the roof. If the house is a bit bigger, and the floor space allows for it, you have a lot of problems with the roof construction, as you only have two sizes of roof pieces and they can't be slanted in any other way.
The wood is of course the limiting factor. At the beginning you can only find wood, later you have to plant new trees to replace those that have been felled .... which means that you are slowed down and can't really build how and when you want.
- bugs, bugs, bugs. I never saw so many bugs in an early access game. Decorations, you put in you inventory vanish, even after a restart of the game they are gone. You can open and close windows on your house. Even if you can open and close it, after saving and restart, some of them are not opening. You save your game, click on the menu and the game closes and also restart itself. Doors not working when place them, you stuck in the door, NPCs who running trough walls .... I reportet them all. But, sorry, this is not an early access, this is a bug party game.

Conclusion: I would not recommend it in the current bugged state.

Best horror multiplayer game ever. 10 / 10

Play this if you want to hear your friends scream. Maybe this is the last time you've seen your friends.

Sadly not my game.
You get random stuff, and with this random things you can make your garden. Which is annoying, because it is just random ....
Can not recommend it and refund it.

I really tried to love this game as much as I loved the first part, Hellblade: Senua´s sacrifice. The first part is a true masterpiece.
And this part is also visually really outstanding. No question about it. But unfortunately that's all there is to it.
I've rarely seen such a long-winded game.
I had hoped to get more of the puzzles by finding runes to open paths. But these puzzles are practically non-existent in this game.
I can remember the level in the first part where you only move through the level using your hearing, you could see everything in a blur. That was a really brilliant experience. Experiences like that are completely missing in this part.

It's 90% walking simulator, 8% endless dialogs and 2% fights where you block, attack, block, attack.

I'd rather play the first part 10 more times than this part. I'm not even sure if I'll manage to play through this part because it's so tough and lengthy

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game at all.

10 / 10 for the visuals
0 / 10 for gameplay

Dystopika

City building simulator + Cyberpunk. This is Dystopika. The game is a relaxed, chilling city-building simulator in a futuristic cyberpunk world.
You have the opportunity to build various high-rise buildings and decorate them with holograms and billboards, for example. You can even upload your own pictures and design your own world.
There are many setting options, such as the color of the sun, time oft he day, fog, rain, and many color filters that make the city look different every time. A camera mode is also included to record short videos.
There is also first-class, chilled music, so that building becomes a meditative experience, as there is (fortunately in my opinion) no management.

This game is just right for players who love cyberpunk + city building, without any kind of management.

10 / 10

I would really have liked to give this game a good rreview, but unfortunately I can't.

What is very positive is the lovely graphics. But unfortunately that's it for me. I only played the game for about 1 hour, but I can't get into the gameplay. The puzzles are far too easy, and apart from that it's just running and jumping. Nothing more. It's very boring. Maybe it gets better as the game progresses, but I didn't want to wait for that.
The unfortunately boring gameplay is then interrupted by lots of cutscenes that you have to wait for.
I also found the pseudo-language particularly annoying.

Unfortunately, all in all, not a recommendation.

I don't know why there's so much hype about this game, to be honest.
The graphics are so bad that I assume the developers are still at school and doing this project on the side.
The controls are sometimes imprecise.
Of course you die a lot because it's a lethal company, but so often that it's no longer fun.
On the plus side, there are a few shocking moments when you don't have a flashlight with you and are jumped on by a creature in the dark.
The gameplay is very repetitive, so after a few hours it's no longer fun.

Can not recommend this game.

An extremely bizarre and socially critical game.
The first half of the game, which lasts in total around 3 hours, is very interesting and holds up a mirror to society. When you think about it, you don't want to be human any more.
The second half of the game is even more confusing and I don't understand the ending at all.

Nevertheless 7 / 10
