Story
The story of the game starts straight ahead and away from any complications. A cafe in the corner of which a puppet show is about to take place and the audience is watching. The narration of the events that you will witness during the one and a half hour gameplay is done by the puppeteer and the director of the show, and all the sentences are recited in the form of poetry. The catchy tone of the narrator makes you curious to follow the continuation of the story, and in the meantime, the exchanges with the main character double the charms of the story. The protagonist of the story is a puppet named Abby, who continues to work as a slave in a big circus. Like many people, he is not satisfied with his work and sees himself as a prisoner. So he decides to start new adventures by escaping from the circus.
The story part should be considered one of the strengths of the game, which stimulates the player's sense of adventure. The voice actor of the narrator also coped well with his role and gave a memorable performance. Abby's actions with the environment and the narrator's funny jokes are among the strengths of A Juggler's Tale, which will not diminish its charm until the last moment.


Graphic
If you are looking for realistic graphics, this game cannot be recommended; But if you intend to stay away from the usual atmosphere of skirmish games and wander a little in fantasy worlds, this title will be a good option. The world of A Juggler's Tale has a simple design, but it manages to capture your attention. One of the features of this game is the variety of colors and the design of its attractive environment; A large farm with the sunset behind it or a village where people are celebrating and dancing are among the beauties of A Juggler's Tale.


Music
Music has always been considered one of the important elements in inducing dramatic load and this importance has been used well in the game. Understanding the space and atmosphere, the composer decided to choose the folk genre to implement his thoughts; A right decision that ended up in favor of the game. The variety of pieces seems appropriate, but the rhythms of the pieces are very similar to each other, and the audience who struggles with solving the puzzles may not notice the changes in the background music. However, the music helps the picture well in the critical moments and keeps the beat up well in the chase sequences.


Gameplay
The gameplay of A Juggler's Tale has undeniable similarities with titles such as Limbo and Inside. Moving along the screen and not interacting with the background and solving different puzzles are the features of Playdead studio games, and the game also follows this rule. On the other hand, Button Mapping, or the arrangement of the handle keys that you interact with, is completely similar to Inside and its fellow games. The use of objects is done with the R2 key and X is used to jump. As a puppet, Abby has no special powers and must use her intelligence to survive. The puzzles of the game are not particularly challenging and this is not acceptable considering the time required to complete the game. The creators have tried to create puzzles through the ropes that restrained Abby in the form of a puppet, but this does not help A Juggler's Tale much in terms of gameplay, and in this sense, the player will be disappointed. For diversity, the production team has included chase sequences in the gameplay, which are not very attractive and cannot be memorable. If you fail during these game chases, don't worry; Because thanks to the proper checkpoint system - which was also one of the sources of inspiration for the creators from Inside and Limbo - you will not be nervous.


Conclusion
Finally, the construction of the small and compact Kaleidoscube studio should be considered a short and acceptable work that, although it has shortcomings, can entertain its audience.

๐Ž๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐, ๐ฆ๐š๐ฒ๐›๐ž ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž

Where do you think the adventures of the game take place? America? no The story takes place in a fictional country called Petra. It is not the time to play today and these years. The game takes place at the end of the 20th century. Road 96 takes the audience to Petria in 1996. A world where cassette tapes are popular and there is no news of virtual space and social networks. The TVs are cable and the big neon signs and motels give the audience a fascinating look at that era. Ready for a long drive on the highways of Petria?


๐€๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ž๐ญ๐š๐ข๐ฅ, ๐ข๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ

One of the bright and very special points of the Road 96 game is the great attention to detail and the creative and timely use of visual effects. For example, there is a desert camp in the middle of the road. This camp is not indoor. When you sleep in the camp, you suddenly see a view of the desert sky. A view full of very beautiful stars that will leave you speechless. In another situation, a group of travelers picked up instruments and are playing music and happiness. You will join them. The sound of birds and flames have their place. These places are so beautifully designed that you might want to stay in each one for a few hours and enjoy it. The basis of the game is talking with people and traveling. But the point is to insist on going. So you should not stop too much at any point. All routes end at road 96.


๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ

What shapes the game is of a different kind. The ruling government of Petria in 1996 is a dictatorship. The economic and living conditions of the people are not good. Most young people seek to escape from the borders. It is this escape from the borders that gives the game a different color. The most interesting thing is the variety of characters. You can play the role of several young people of Petria. You may be able to get some of them safely across the border and others get stuck on the way to escape. You have until the election day to remove people from Petra. On the way out, you have to stop and hang out with people to find a car or eat. You can get the necessary instructions to continue the path by socializing with other people.


๐„๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ž ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ

The work does not end with just one border crossing. After crossing the border every time, you have to go back to the starting place and pick up another young person. Your own face is not clear at all. In fact, your character is an unknown character. But each of the young people you travel with has a special and unique personality. Beyond the characters and crossing the path and not getting stuck, you have a much more important task. You have to use the energy level, financial resources and food storage in such a way that you last until the end of the path. For example, if you use a taxi or bus to move from one stop to the next, you have a chance to rest and your health bar increases. But you have to pay for taxi or bus. You can walk or use interstate cars. Walking has its own risks. Using off-road vehicles is not very easy, your life may be in danger.


๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ

The characters in the game each have their own story and have been processed in a special way. For example, one of the characters is John. John is a truck driver. He has a long beard and a masculine and big body. John, with his large stature, must hide behind the back seats of the car. This issue is both very funny and troublesome. He lost one of the fingers of his right hand in one of his trips. He loves the voice of one of the announcers on the CB radio network and used to carry a series of Life brand energy drinks in his truck.


๐“๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐œ๐ฒ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ

Of course, not all characters are supposed to be good and attractive. For example, you may travel with several fugitives. You meet each character several times. You meet them in different forms and shapes, and you see each person in a different time frame. For example, you may meet John halfway or at the beginning of the path. Of course, the game did not intend to enter the specialized field of playing with time and creating time cycles.


๐“๐ฐ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ข๐ง

Fitzgerald, a famous writer, said a very interesting sentence. "Every American can have a thousand different personalities," he says. The same is true for the people of Petra. At least each character in the game has two completely different faces. For example, one of the characters may be very scary and funny at the same time. Another character may be able to make you laugh but lead a sad and boring life. For example, a cruel person may be oppressed and oppressed. This characterization method has given a lot of depth to each character. This creative characterization has made the moment of this game very attractive.


๐ƒ๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ

You may have wondered that although the characters of Road 96 are different, if the game path is always the same, commuting on this path can become very boring. But the production team has found a solution for this problem. First, there is no news of a route and a destination. Although the final destination is road 96 and the border, you can reach the final goal from at least 5 different routes. Secondly, you have many opportunities to update your features and improve your character in every path and every round of the game. For example, you may fall into a valley while running and lose your life. The upgrade may boost your power enough to save your next turn. Also, sometimes upgrading skills can open up new options and dialogs. There are no repetitive and boring routes at all.


๐Œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐ก๐ข๐œ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐๐ข๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ

It has already been mentioned that nature and natural landscapes, including the desert sky at night, are beautifully designed. But on the other hand, the production team did not put much effort into mixing and harmonizing the dialogues, lips of the characters and their voices. Sometimes the movement of the characters is not very natural. We have to go to the music of the text of the game. The tracks chosen for Road 96 are truly masterpieces. These pieces reflect the general atmosphere of the 1990s very well and have a nostalgic feel.


๐–๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ

Sometimes the game does not progress according to the real events and you have problems. The story of Road 96 is sometimes very convoluted. For example, in one of the situations, you may decide to hide in the fuel tank of a truck to cross the border so that the border patrol does not arrest you. If your health bar is high enough to hold your breath, you can survive. But the next day, newspapers publish the news of the arrest of a teenager hiding in a fuel tank. This discrepancy between the story and the reality is a bit annoying. Of course, this part as one of the bugs in the game does not happen very often and can be ignored.


๐‚๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง

Road 96 video game is an action and adventure game produced in 2021. This game tells the story of young characters who are from a green and beautiful country called Petria. During the 1996 dictatorship, they are trying their best to get out of the country, and you have to get these young people out of the country safely, along with energy conservation and resource management. Some people believe that the idea of the game is very creative and new, but its implementation does not touch the heart. However, if you are interested in adventure style games, Road 96 video game can be a suitable and attractive option for you.

Story is almost everything in The Walking Dead, and the gameplay and graphic style of the game perfectly serve Telltale's unique storytelling. The world of The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic world, but with the difference that this time you see the "apocalypse" happening up close. This makes you more aware of everything during the 4 main seasons and one sub-season of the game. The story of each season is slightly different from the previous season, but all the stories of the original series are told with the focus of two characters Lee and Clementine. At the beginning of the first season, Lee, who has just committed a murder, sits in a police car with his hands tied and goes to the police station until an accident occurs and Lee walks into the house of an 8-year-old girl with an injured leg. Her mother and father have gone on holiday before these terrible events and she is now alone at home. The creators put you in a scenario that you don't know how to feel about it at first; You are a criminal, and the little girl who crossed your path is the most innocent creature on earth. This confrontation, in the most artistic way possible, becomes one of the most enduring relationships in the history of computer games. If Ellie and Joel's relationship in The Last of Us caught your attention, you should check out Lee and Clementine's relationship. How a criminal turns into the kindest father you've ever seen, how the play with the relationship between Lee and Clementine manages to bring you to tears time and time again and... In The Walking Dead, no one is bad, no one is good, everyone is human with the complexities of personality that we all have.

In a world where you can turn into a walking dead at any moment, in a world where people are forced to shoot each other for their basic needs such as hunger, and in a world where every choice you make can have a heavy price. , choosing right and wrong is no longer as simple as this world. During the 4 seasons, Clementine goes to different places and befriends different people, he sees the death of many of his friends before his eyes, he is betrayed, he starves, he sees difficulties and..., finally, The Walking Dead is a It reminds us very well, that the biggest enemy of humans is not zombies, but themselves. During the 4 seasons, in every group that was united, that group remained intact, but as soon as human greed and greed entered the story, everything fell apart. The Walking Dead is different from any other game because everyone is human, no one is a hero. The games that have been released so far in this series include the 4 main seasons of the game, The Walking Dead: Michonne and a single episode called 400 Days, which are all in this series. If you are a fan of the series, this collection can be very valuable to you, because you will refresh your memories, your decisions will be directly involved in the next game, and you will remember the details of each chapter that you might have forgotten. If you want to try this title for the first time, what's better, you don't have to endure the one or two months that fans used to wait between each episode of each season, and you can finish the story in one go.

About the gameplay of The Walking Dead, it should be said that you are almost on the classic point and click side. The tasks you do in the game are summarized in exploring the environment to find objects, sometimes solving simple puzzles and talking to others. There is absolutely nothing complicated in terms of gameplay and the focus of the game is more on the story than anything else, so you won't find difficult puzzles that throw the game off the rhythm or unnecessary dialogues in the game. As you move from season 1 to season 4, the gameplay becomes more action-oriented and less point-and-click. In chapter 4, for example, the use of a slingshot or a dagger is a little more liberal, and you will use these weapons in more situations. Also, the camera angle in the action scenes changes to the third person so that the fights become easier and more enjoyable.

Besides these, button-mashing sequences play an important role in The Walking Dead, and can easily take up half the game. Although these sequences can be exciting, they do not play a role in the fate of the characters in the game. For example, in games like Until Dawn or Heavy Rain, pressing a few buttons can kill that character forever, but in The Walking Dead, the game will start from the checkpoint. This is one of the topics that maybe if it were changed, the game could emphasize the role of the player's choices and performance during the game. On the other hand, the choices you make in The Walking Dead do not have a very deep impact on the story and the game process. For example, you have to decide whether to save person A or person B, and if you save either of them, the other will die. But in most cases, the person who remains in the story either does not play a special role or will die earlier for another reason. In one sentence, I must say that your decisions do not affect the story as much as you think and will not affect the end of the game. Of course, in some seasons, especially at the end of season 4, you will face an election that will cause your beloved characters to live or die, but that's it; The endgame remains intact. In general, don't look at The Walking Dead as a role-playing game, the game choices are not deep, but they give a different flavor to the progress of the story. As said, everything in this game is story!

The voice actors of The Walking Dead are among the best in the industry. I don't remember anywhere in this series that I was bothered by the bad voice acting of the characters or the environment, or I felt that something was done poorly. The voice of Clementine voiced by Miss Melissa Hutchison is really commendable and how Clementine's tone changes in each chapter according to his age and learning is to be seen and heard. The music of the game has been chosen with special obsession to increase the effectiveness of the sad atmosphere of the game and they have completely succeeded in doing this.

The graphics of the game are more similar to comic drawings. During 4 seasons, this progress was really noticeable and admirable, and season 4 had become a beautiful game in terms of technical and artistic graphics.

In conclusion, it doesn't matter if you are a fan of The Walking Dead series or not, this series is a must have for everyone. The Walking Dead Definitive Series is a commendable game that will always be worth playing.

๐…๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž, ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐.

In the game, you laugh, cry, get stressed, and when you are tired of the daily bad news, you can take refuge in it for a short time. Of course, this good feeling does not last long, but for these few minutes, your mind will be filled with positive energy.

The game has everything together. As much as it depicts the beauties of love in the most pleasant way possible, it also talks about problems. A real life that may be a little far from the current reality, but it has sweet and difficult moments that many of us may experience in every second.

Florence narrates the story of a girl who is drowned in everyday life. He goes to work every day, looks at his Instagram from time to time, watches TV, and sometimes talks to his mother on the phone. However, an incident gives a different color to his life.

We see very few writings in the game and there is no dialogue at all. Instead, the creator has used music, coloring and puzzles to narrate his creation. From the very beginning, when you enter the menu, the game will enchant you with its music, and this feeling will be maintained until the end.

Depending on what happens, you hear a different piece of music and these pieces show parts of the characters' emotions. Graphics have the same task in the first place. The change of colors and the intelligent movement of a certain spectrum, well depict the current world of Florence and the atmosphere that dominates her life at every moment.

Florence does not have an engaging gameplay, the game was presented as an interactive story from the very beginning, and therefore, like other titles of this genre, all you have to do is a few simple clicks or changing some objects.

However, these small movements are not only for the interaction of the player with the game, and the developer has put a part of the story of the title on them. In Florence, everything is at the service of the story, and the creator showed the emotions of his world in ways different from what we have known so far.

In the end Florence is worth a try. A pleasant and short experience that can make you feel better.

Story

First, we start with the most important and best part of the game, its story. This section reveals the first five minutes of the game. The game starts with a cutscene that makes us share the sadness of the little brother from the very beginning. He sits crying on his mother's grave and remembers the scene of her death. He remembers that he tried to save the mother from drowning, but he did not have the strength to do it. Then the older brother calls him to take the father, who is in a critical condition, to the village doctor. The doctor says that there is nothing he can do. It seems that the grief of this family does not end and the grief and suffering of the death of a loved one is going to fall on them in a different way. But there is a way for the father to survive, and that is to find the elixir of life, which is far away, but there is no other way to find it. The game makes us deeply involved and sympathize with this family almost in the first cutscene. Definitely, the game cannot remain so dark and sad until the end, and we will witness many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, but in general, there is a sadness hidden throughout the game, as if from the creators' point of view, it is the reality of this world and it should be accepted and dealt with. In the game, we will experience adventures that have a strong impact and will remain in our minds for a long time. Stories full of love and hate, of loyalty and betrayal, of honesty and lies, of humanity and villainy, all of which are told very simply in the majority of our childhood legends. Small stories that don't become boring until the end of the game, but look more interesting and original every moment.

A point that runs strongly throughout the game, but completely imperceptibly, is the psychological and resourceful view of the creators on the relationships of the characters. Usually, in a family with two children with an age difference of more than two or three years, the older child takes more responsibility and adheres to the moral principles passed on by the parents to the children. He also has more self-confidence because he won most of his childhood games against his brother. However, the second child often acts smarter and smarter than the first child in proportion to his age. The reason for this is that he has learned a lot from his older sibling and has always been with someone who has more experience than him. In our story, the younger brother always feels guilty and powerless because of blaming himself for his mother's death and is strongly dependent on his older brother. The creators of the Brothers game have completely respected these psychological experiences in their game and have made the deep relationship between these two brothers the heart of the game's story, which greatly increases the value of the game.

Gameplay

No matter how much a game has a good and interesting story, it must have a good gameplay in order to be successful. First of all, it is important to mention that the control of this game is special and I personally have not seen this type of control in another game. In this game, we have to guide both brothers at the same time, which will be very challenging whether on the keyboard or the handle. Have you ever tried to draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other? You will have exactly the same challenge in this game. A point that will worry you a little at first, but after about half an hour you will realize that you have gained a new ability and you will be able to control the two brothers relatively easily. Surely this learning will be a very enjoyable experience for you. The clever creators of the game with their genius have made this type of control become a tool to show the closeness of these two brothers, which is better to see for yourself. In fact, if this kind of guidance was about two strangers, it would not be so attractive. The gameplay of the game is also smooth and smooth and its combination with the beautiful scenery of the game brings a pleasant experience.

Regarding game puzzles, we won't see masterpiece puzzles like Limbo or Unfinished Swan games, which are all innovative and creative, but the puzzles are never illogical or boring. The puzzles of the game are neither so simple that they are not attractive nor so time-consuming that they disrupt the good rhythm of the story. But if the puzzles were a little more challenging and required more creativity, we would have seen a better experience overall.

Graphics

The technical graphics of the game naturally have nothing to say against big games with graphics above the 8th generation, but you will definitely admire its quality and be completely satisfied with it. The reason for this is that we are dealing with a 5-hour small independent game that is no more than one and a half gigabytes in size and also has a cartoon theme, and at this scale and compared to similar independent games, the graphics of the game are really high quality.

Unlike technical graphics, artistic graphics in independent or indie games are usually very decisive and sometimes they are considered the winning card of a game. Regarding the artistic graphics of this game, words such as masterpiece, unique or wonderful can only be used. The game is like a journey in a mysterious land, full of beauty. Various environments from caves to frozen mountains. From lush forests to villages with fully dynamic and alive inhabitants. Maybe saying this sentence is repetitive, but it happens a lot in the game that we put aside the handle or the keyboard and just watch. Even for this purpose, benches have been installed in some game areas to sit on and watch the scene in front of you like a painting.

Sound and music

The voice acting in the game is well done and the sounds of nature such as the river and the wind or the howling of wolves and the barking of dogs, the sound of children playing in the village, etc. are completely natural to immerse us in the game as much as possible. The characters in the game speak but not in English, not even in other languages. They speak their own language, which is the invented language of the game and is more similar to the sounds used by early humans. Despite this kind of talking, we will not actually hear a dialogue, but each of their thoughts and feelings can be seen from their faces, the tone of their speech, and their looks. On the one hand, this has created a unique experience in the game that we have never seen anywhere else, and on the other hand, it has taken the game out of space and time, and the connection with its world has become much deeper and closer. In a word, the music of the game is amazing and has doubled the beauty of the game. The simple notes that are played in the main part of the violin playing in the most sad way possible, along with the other instruments that adorn it, are always beautiful and pleasant and caress the soul. A music that is not only completely in harmony with the environment and story of the game, but also can be heard and enjoyed many times outside the game.

Conclusion

Brothers: a tale of two sons is a short but deep journey. It is a dream trip to imaginary lands and regions with original and beautiful landscapes. It is a memorable and adventurous trip. It has a stormy beginning and a very impressive ending that will remain in our minds for a long time. The combination of the game's story with interesting and new gameplay along with beautiful music and unique artistic graphics all at the same time bring the peak of pleasure. Although enjoying so much beauty requires a special and deep audience, its simplicity can be a bridge for the general audience to migrate from huge commercial and repetitive games to small works that flow with love and knowledge.

It is impossible that you did not play Neighbors From Hell or similar games in your childhood. During that period, this game became so popular that it almost became a genre of its own. Many similar games were made and released on different platforms, but they did not have half the quality of this beautiful game. Two versions of this series were made, each of which was full of creativity and fun. The cool thing was that almost anyone could run Hell's Neighbor on their home system; Due to its simple graphics, the game was easy to run on a PC with old parts, and this is one of the reasons for its popularity. Now, after 20 years, both numbers of this series have been restored. Neighbors Back From Hell is a remastered version of our beloved Neighbors Back From Hell.

The whole story of the game is explained in an intro in the first version. Woody is not a bad person by nature and has no intention of bothering his neighbor, but when he is severely harassed by him, he decides to take revenge and wants to make up for it tenfold! During the game, you don't hear any dialogue, nor does anything important happen in terms of story. If it wasn't for this simple story, no one would have found fault; It's a hell of a neighbor and its extremely entertaining gameplay, which you'll read below.

The gameplay is also very easy to learn and play while being enjoyable and providing moments full of laughter for you. The game is both a strategy title and a point and click. In each stage, you enter the neighbor's house and you have to commit various vandalism without him seeing you. Each stage has a special score, which is indicated by the coin icon at the top of the image; To complete a stage and go to the next mission, you don't need to get full points, but you need to get enough coins to make your neighbor's anger acceptable. You can also continue the same stage until you get full points and finish the game completely.

In each stage, you have to visit two or three floors, take different things from different areas such as closets, bathrooms, cabinets, etc. and start destroying different things, moving them, poisoning them, making them dirty, etc. The variety of activities that you have to do in the stages of the two versions, especially in the second version, is really high and the game is not repetitive even for a moment due to its shortness. One thing that could have been implemented better in the game is the animations of Woody's happiness at the end of the stages and the neighbor's anger; The game lacks in this aspect and we constantly see a special animation in these moments from these two. Sometimes the button to interact with objects is delayed and it annoys you a bit.

Your neighbor's AI is not very high and performs a series of specified tasks in a cycle. But it is important to maintain this cycle to some extent so that your work does not go to waste. For example, in some stages, the order of vandalism is important for them to be seen. At one stage, you must definitely do something so that the neighbor is forced to go to the toilet, take a bath, drink water, etc. and if the work related to this compulsion has been done before your vandalism, destroying a device will not be seen at all in that place and you will get points for it. In this sense, you should consider the strategy in stages.

If the gameplay of Neighbors Back From Hell gets a score of 10, its funny and pleasant graphics should get a score of 20. Believe me, one of the main reasons for making this game memorable was the funny design of the faces and its beautiful graphics. In the remastered version, we can see Full HD textures and a resolution of up to 4K, which greatly improves the performance quality of the game.

Coming to each part of this game to review, we have to mention only the good points. Music is also a part of this category, and that memorable menu music and that famous effect that plays when the neighbor is angry are still in the minds of gamers, and this brings the creators' creativity to a high level. In this version, fortunately, the original music of the game is used and we do not see any changes in this part. Neighbors Back From Hell in its own style really has no problems in terms of music and graphics.

The original version of the game was so good that if the same game was released again, someone would complain. Now that the remaster of two very memorable games has been released with a decent quality, there is no reason not to buy it. This game is definitely worth hours of fun and laughs and replays. Do not miss Neighbors Back From Hell at all.

Once upon a time: an effort for nothing!

The boy is unconscious on the ground. He slowly opens his eyes with great pain. He gets up and finds himself in a big forest. A forest that a boy so small is afraid of. But the boy overcomes fear. Because he has to find his sisterโ€ฆ

Black, white, thousands of colors!

Nothing can be said in praise of the graphics of this wonderful game. The creators of this game have created thousands of colors and images using white and black. The player in all places of the game praises the stunning graphics and the high accuracy of the creators in the design of the environment and objects. In fact, the environment is painted with thousands of shadows and lights, and this has caused a great increase in the beauty of the artistic graphics of this game. In fact, the creators have done a great job and have used thousands of different black and white colors. So that you feel that the whole environment of the game is painted and each color is different from the other. The design of objects in the game is also really wonderful. So that you are surprised by all this precision. From making gears and light bulbs to making a giant spider. An important point has been observed in all of these, that is, quality and accuracy! So I tell you that you will not feel any shortage in the graphics of this game. But in some places the graphics could be stronger.

Silence is the greatest music

The sounding of this title has been done in a very precise manner and in accordance with the principles. Before dealing with the music of the game, it is necessary to mention the sounds of the objects, movement and various events of the game. From the foot of the spider sinking into the boy's body to the sound of him running on the ground, it is set so precisely that it makes the environment and atmosphere of the game more believable for the player. The sound of the rustling of the wind and the falling and rolling of a stone on the mountain is no different from the real sound of this happening in life and in the real world. It's as if the creators have made a giant spider for sound and stuck its sharp leg in a boy's body and recorded this sound and put it on their game

And the soundtrack:

In this sector as well, Playdead has been quite successful. It is true that in many scenes silence is the only music of the game, but... but it must be admitted that this silence in the game is wonderful. Silence, next to which real sounds can be heard from the environment of a terrible forest. The silence that multiplies stress and fear in the game. A silence that should really be praised. Of course, the game in its special and emotional parts also has music that is completely in harmony with the events and makes the story more interesting.

Alone in the forest

One of the most important parts of a game is its gameplay. No matter how great the music, graphics and story of the game are, if the gameplay of that game does not complete the rest, we will definitely face a weak title. But it must be said that this title has not left anything short for the players in this section as well.

What do you expect from the gameplay of a platformer title? If in your opinion, the great gameplay of a platformer title should be full of puzzles and different tasks, and you are supposed to face the biggest enemies in the game with simple methods and experience all kinds of vehicles in a very simple but beautiful game, and in general Never get tired of playing that title, I have to tell you that Limbo has a great gameplay.

In this game, there are no options on the game screen. In fact, you and the up, down, left and right buttons and a button to interact with the environment! There is no amount of life or... in the game, and as it was said, the game environment is completely free of any pictures or signs or writings. It is as if you are sitting in front of an animation screen. In the game you have only 2 modes, alive or dead. There is no middle ground. One mistake will kill you, and doing a simple task correctly will keep you alive, and it is not the case that, for example, your energy or life will decrease and you will be fine again! The game is completely real! Anything can cause death and death is really simple and real!

An effort for nothing

We talked about all the parts of the game, but now we come to the biggest story of this game: its wonderful story. A story whose many parts are dumb for you. In fact, you and your belief must complete those parts of the game and complete the story. Limbo is made in such a way that everyone can make their own interpretation of it. But all perceptions are actually summed up in one concept. Something that only the player will understand after completing all the stages of the game.

Limbo literally means purgatory. The limbo in which this boy is caught. It's a terrible place for anyoneโ€ฆ
The player is drowning in thoughts and questions. But the child overcomes the most difficult places. The boy tries his best. Finally, he uses magnetism. He does something difficult and the boy breaks the glass and is thrown in that direction. The boy is unconscious on the ground. Just like the first game...

Does the player get scared that I have been around myself all this time? What is going to happen to this little boy? The boy opens his eyes again in the same shot as the beginning of the game. He is in pain. He gets up and moves forward. It reaches the same tree house at the beginning of the game. The boy sees his sister crying over her dead body. Does this mean that this was a boy's torment? For what mistake is he tormented? This child who has not done anything to want to suffer in Purgatory. Did I mean something else? But the final message is clear:

The boy has been dead for a long time.
But there are still thousands of questions left in the mind. This game has literally destroyed the player in the story. Of course, the most painful message of the game is determined after the list of creators goes up and the game menu reappears.

Both the boy and his sister were dead.
Maybe many have not noticed this message, but if you look carefully, you will see flies flying above the 2 corpses under the tree house...

Here, several thoughts arise for the player, the best and most complete of which were as follows:

First:
The boy and his sister go to a tree house in a forest for fun or escape. The boy's sister goes out of the hut for some reason or for example to fetch something. The boy wants to follow him, but suddenly he falls on the ground and dies. The soul of the boy who knows nothing wants to find his sister. But the forest that the player and the boy see is no longer a happy and fun forest. Rather, it is a scary and purgatory environment. A limbo that is never clear why an oppressed boy should face it! When the boy's soul wanders and passes through purgatory, the girl returns to the hut and sees her brother's dead body. The girl cries so much that she dies next to the boy...

Second:
The second theory is exactly like the above theory, except that it says that the boy and his sister both fell together and died. The boy was looking for his sister and the sister was looking for her brother. Both of them have been tasting its good torment. The girl's soul finds her brother's body and cries over his body thinking that she is alive. While both of them were dead.

The second theory is more likely to be true due to the evidence. Because at the end of the game, the girl sees the boy and gets up and runs away. How could he see a ghost if he wasn't dead? In addition, in the middle of the game, a girl can be seen wandering in the forest in several places. Just like his brother.

But all this is of no importance. Your opinion of this wonderful story is important. A story that many of us still don't understand...
A game that you have to think about after finishing it...
To the boy and his sister.

Two prisoners, two different stories, one goal!

The technical graphics of the game are acceptable and I have rarely seen any problems in the game. In addition, it should be considered that the game is co-op, and working on the gameplay will be much more economical! But don't worry, considering all the expenses that EA has incurred, we still see beautiful scenery and exciting scenes. Remember what the focus of the game should always be. The textures of the faces and the environment are of good quality and there is nothing to worry about, but anyway, the quality of the secondary characters' faces could have been much better. Of course, apart from the quality, it should also be noted that in some cases, we see very unbalanced physics. It is true that this sometimes caused discouragement and surprise, but considering the history of the director and the overall shape of the game, this problem can be ignored. I would like to point out that yes, many of A Way Out's problems are passable. Because of the productive experience and of course the unique pleasures that are hidden in the game; Of course, if you are not a strict person! But on a more detailed and rigorous review, with all the money that EA spent on Josef Fares and the game development team known as Hazelight, there are some bugs in the game that sometimes really put you off. In addition to all this, the next problem can be found in the lighting of the game! The lighting of A Way Out seems to be something like the early titles of the 8th generation or even a little lower, the general and casual lighting of the environment is very reminiscent of the old games and the lack of work of the previous creators. Anyway, if Josef Fares wanted his game to be accepted by more fans, he should have worked more on technical graphics.

Creativity reaches its peak in some stages of the game and may surprise you. The details are cultivated enough to be a means of your enjoyment as much as possible. The environments of the game are also large enough to become the scene of your skirmishes and cinematic sequences. Even the characterizations are at a respectable level and contrary to all the rumors, you experience crazy emotional scenes. Characters who each have their own story, but when they are together, they present you with a wonderful combination of emotion, love and anger.

In addition to the beautiful moments you will experience, add beautiful music to be as close to its shell as possible. Usually, the whole process you will go through is summarized in minigames and main stages. The main stages are very, very well structured, not repetitive, and most importantly, designed with a lot of patience. In addition to the main stages, many mini-games are included in the game, each of which looks more attractive than the other.

Escape on the shoulders of choices!

A Way Out is a highly respected and valuable title. Despite the game's physics issues, and some discouraging technical issues, A Way Out is still one of the biggest, and perhaps best, co-op titles of the 8th generation. Because if you want to look at this work optimistically, you have to remove many useless flaws, and look at the wonderful experience you will have with your friends.

Although the gameplay is very simple, the best excuse for you to finish this game is the engaging and addictive gameplay! In this game, there is no war with saws and all kinds of weapons (like the Shank game). The game is based on the use of darkness as your most important and deadly weapon in the game... As you know, ninjas, unlike their samurai brothers, avoid face-to-face combat as much as possible and prefer to surprise their target and destroy them. The creators have understood this very well and have used this issue in the game as beautifully as possible. When you are in the dark, most of the enemies cannot see you, but if you pass the initial stages of the game and go to the final and middle stages of the game. Then you will realize that you are not as safe in the dark as you thought!

The variety of artificial intelligence in the game will challenge you many times... a normal soldier, as said, cannot see you in the dark... these soldiers have a colorful presence in the early stages, which, due to their inability to see in the dark, you can Go through these stages without killing. The dogs in this game are able to recognize you in the dark by using their sense of smell. There are also soldiers in the game who have night vision cameras. The challenges of the game are not limited to these few things. In this game, there are plenty of lasers and sound-sensitive devices in the stages of the game, which are not so easy to pass. To pass these obstacles, you can use your ninja star. Take advantage or you will have to destroy the devices that produce these lasers, which are in a far way and it is very tiring to reach them, so that you can pass the lasers without being detected.
There is also an upgrade feature in the game... you can add all kinds of acrobatic movements and new finishers, new styles and new outfits to your character with the points obtained at the end of the stages according to the type and method of progressing through the stages. You can also add new powers to your ninja.

The graphic design of the game is very similar to the previous titles of this game studio, especially the acclaimed Shank title. However, there is no colorful environment like the Shank title... in other words, the game environment is like a black and white watercolor painting. Few lights in the environment. There is the fact that the combination of these warm colors with the cold colors of the environment has a great impact on the audience... The special style and shape of the illustrated books is well done in the stages that tell the story.
Maybe this title has far less graphics than the games of its generation. But just think that the magical and very pleasant music of East Asia is combined with the special graphics of this game... the music of the game is very pleasant that you will not get tired of listening to it for hours!

Alba is an open world adventure game. The story of a little girl who plans to travel during the summer vacation to see her grandparents who live in a very beautiful Mediterranean island full of exploration points and full of different animal species. This game, which aims to teach us the lost peace of life, begins when our little girl, who loves wildlife, goes to explore the environment around the house and upon seeing an endangered animal, she decides to do something to save the creatures and the feeling that she should not be indifferent to this scene comes to her.

Alba is not alone during this adventure on the island, her grandfather and her friend named Ines help her along the way. In order to save the island, Alba must first find the environmental protection organization so that they can help her when she needs it, and she must also form a volunteer group of people from among the island's residents and convince them to help her to save the island. To convince them, she must first help them, (helps like: finding a dog or convincing a woman to try a perfume again or taste an ice cream) so that they also mutually support her and help her for the problems. In this way there are some people who will hinder Alba's goals and Alba must use different tricks to cross their barrier and solve the puzzle of the game. The island you are on is very amazing and eye-catching, but everything on this island is not as beautiful as it seems, the city's forest park has been closed for some time after a fire, and the mayor plans to build a hotel in the same place. Your goal in the game is to collect fifty signatures for the petition, and for this you have only one week to stop the mayor of the city.

Everywhere on the island is full of garbage that people and tourists have left on the ground. In order to be able to return the animals to their living environment, you need to collect garbage or repair things to bring them back to nature.
The gameplay is short and can be completed in less than a few hours, and after that, you can roam around the island freely and take pictures from its point and enjoy it as much as you want.

The simplicity that is in this game may not be found in other games and you will experience a sunny summer by playing it in a calmness with the flavor of childhood.

The game as a whole has a strong environmental message behind its main narrative.
This game teaches us that even the youngest people can make the biggest changes. For children, it has a very high educational aspect in terms of the general concept of the environment and the importance of protecting it, and it teaches them that we should take care of all animals and their environment and that protecting them is very important.

Animals are an important part of the game. More than fifty different types of animals live on this island, and Alba can obtain information specific to each of these animals through the special software she installed on her mobile phone, and this information helps children while playing with this get to know the animals more.

Also, by placing the mission of collecting garbage from the island as one of the rules of the game, the game well instills the importance of keeping order to the player.
