Fantastic Choice Based Story Driven MMO that feels like more of a single player MMO or RPG with compelling stories for each of the 8 classes! This MMO is also free to play friendly and allows you to experience all of the class stories up to level 50 the conclusion for free! What's also interesting about this MMO is if you subscribe once, you can get all the content to play and once your subscription ends, you still can play the content you unlocked even if your not subscribed anymore.

Personally I have had a lot of fun within this MMO and have only completed two classes out of the 8 so far. That being Sith Inquisitor & Imperial Agent.

That being said, I still have six great classes to explore, which keeps the replay value great for this MMO when rolling alts for different class stories to experience.

Overall, I give the MMO a 9/10! It's a great Star Wars Narrative MMO with the Old School Bioware choice based systems.

Early Access Review
If your a fan of Everquest or more classic MMO's from the early 2000's and you want to play the game completely solo with AI friends or "Simulated Friends", then Erenshor is your cup of tea to enjoy.

This game is basically singleplayer Everquest with simulated AI players that you can group up with for all the different roles you normally would expect in an MMO environment and those AI players can join your guild as well as create their own guilds and complete with you. They also can buy your wares from the auction house as well as grow strong alongside with you. (The AI is pretty unique for what it offers but dont expect anything deep from a communication standpoint, its deep from a systems standpoint, meaning the AI won't reply to just anything you say unless your using certain commands)

Keep in mind, Everquest by Itself on private servers or even older MMO"s on private servers take tons of time and energy to develop your character as well as require lots of communication and effort. while Erenshor allows you to jump right in and have fun and set your difficulty to whatever you want it to be.

That being said, I give an Erenshor an 8/10 for what it offers. It has an interesting take using AI or Simulated players to group with alongside it being a classic single player MMO. I just wish the AI was more deep from a communication standpoint in terms of being able to have deep conversations with the sim players as one aspect of classic MMO's was communicating with your party and getting to know them even during down times with hard fights.

Don't Get Bit is definitely a hidden gem! It is a zombie turn based strategic game in which you play as Cassie, a sarcastic 18 year old zombie survivor who is tasked with fighting zombies for 30 levels. What seems like a simple game at first eventually turns into a very strategic game the higher you go in level. However, whats nice about the game is as the story enfolds you eventually meet other characters that join your party in which it makes the game even more interesting from a strategic level in terms of how you should navigate each level and each zombie type.

That being said each level is crafted really well with strategic challenges that you well need to overcome but is also fun at the same time depending on what characters are available for you to use in that level against the nine types of zombies.

In addition, I also enjoyed how this game had a voice acted narrative for the story as you progressed through each level detailing the background of each level as you progressed. This alongside the challenging turn based combat and just overall theme really made me enjoy this game. (What's also nice is if you find any of the levels really difficult and need to skip them, you can turn on skipped levels in the settings and easily skip a level if it's too hard to still progress and obtain the ending). In which I also thought was nice as this game can definitely be challenging on some levels.

That being said, I give this game an 8/10, It's a nice indie tactical zombie game with a compelling narrative story being told as you progress. While I only completed the initial journey, there is a second and third journey for players that want an even harder tactical experience in which I would definitely recommend as there is a lot of tactical fun to be had here if you enjoy fighting zombies from a turn based tactical standpoint.

I can understand the appeal of why people like this game. It's basically a weird dream like game where you meet all sorts of strange and unique characters while navigating a tower with a muse friend. It seems to have a religious undertone in which I really like making it seem like you are in an afterlife or you were a person who has died and now your trying to put the pieces together or the memories of who you once were. There's plenty of choices and branching choices with quests. In which I really like and enjoy.

However, the reason I did not like this game is for the simple quality of life stuff. First and foremost, I find it difficult to play a dungeon crawler game if there is no in game map. I realize it's probably more atmospheric having no map and figuring it out on your own. However I did not buy this game for it be a puzzle game and thus it was really frustrating trying to navigate each level without an in game map.

Specifically the creeper level was frustrating for me as your getting chased by an enemy while your trying to also navigate the floor and every time he catches you, you start over on the floor. Without an in game map of seeing where you are going, It's essentially hard to make it to the next floor, so that's why I stopped playing.

Although, from what I did play including fighting the first boss of the game, I found the game to be enjoyable interacting with the many strange and weird characters. That said the battle system is also a hit and miss, I can understand why some did not like the battle system as it is nothing great. However, I think the true value of this game is really interacting with the strange cast of characters you meet in the game and the quests that develop while your in the tower trying to remember who you once were.

In conclusion, I gave the game a 7/10. It's not a bad game, It has an interesting premise. It's just it lacks quality of life stuff like an in game map and the battle system is somewhat lackluster. However if you don't mind playing a dungeon crawler without a map and also don't mind a basic battle system, there is a lot of fun to be had here interacting with the strange characters and participating in the branching quests.

Once again, I only managed to make it a few hours in, but from what I played I can see the charm here. Moving Forward, I'd like to see developer polish his or her games more and include more quality of life stuff such as mentioned above to make even more of a casual dungeon crawler player enjoy the game as much as a seasoned veteran.

Gnomes and Knights has a very interesting premise just like the popular meme in which your a medieval knight who's seeking out or essentially capturing gnomes for your own personal goals, whether that's for "Path of Virtue", "Path of Greed" or "Path of Nobility. I personally chose "Path of Greed" as I wanted to try to claim as many gnomes as possible for my own financial means.

That being said, the game has 5 levels which are a forest, a swamp, a cemetery, a castle and finally an enchanted shopping mall. Within each level, the player or "The Knight" in this case is suppose to use their sword to hit each prop that the gnome is hiding in. Within each level the prop is different and to figure out what prop you should be hitting, you can get the information from each strange character on each level identified by the gnome on the map.

Additionally, each level also has it's own trinket that you are required to chase down and use to find the gnome as the trinket will shake rapidly when the gnome is nearby. You can find the trinket also on the map identified by the circle.

In addition to that, The gnome's eye's on the UI will light up if you are going in the right direction to where the gnome is hiding, so it's a good navigational tool to find the gnome.

When you do find the gnome, the gnome will quickly jump out and either stun you (Get Gnomed!) or not stun you and it's up to you to try to chase down the gnome and catch it. After catching the gnome, there is then a mini-game with a meter where you have to get the arrow within the meter each time as the meter will continue to decrease to eventually actually capture the gnome and that's how you play Gnome and Knights.

Thankfully there is a sprint meter which does help easily catch the gnomes, However it can be super frustrating still trying to actually capture the gnomes as the meter mini game will continue to decrease rapidly as you play it until you finally capture the gnome so your timing has to be spot on.

In terms of "Path of Virtue", "Path of Greed" or "Path of Nobility, each play through allows you meet different strange characters and they all have their own endings which is nice for replay-ability if you really enjoy the Gnomes and Knights premise like I do.

Overall, I really enjoy the nature of this game as it's essentially a hide and seek game with a dark fantasy vibe and I also really enjoy the 90's graphics and the soundtrack that plays both the original as well as the meme soundtrack.

That said, I think anyone would like this game if they either enjoy the meme, Like the idea of a "Knight Hunting Gnomes for Personal Rewards" or want to experience a really interesting game of "Hide and Seek from a Dark Fantasy Perspective".

In terms of improving the game, I would like the developer to add in a harder difficulty in which the mini game for actually capturing the gnomes is much harder that way players can't just breeze through levels and by players beating this, they unlock something special. Also, I think it would be cool if the developer also added in a clock timer mode in which players had to catch each gnome on each level in a certain amount of time in order to unlock a secret ending or something special or unique for doing so.

Regardless, It's a good hide and seek game! 8/10! Highly Recommend. Definitely worth keeping in Steam Library just to see what the developer can do moving forward with this game.

The Secret of Darkwoods is a decent first game by Rap2h.
The reason why I think this game is decent is because the way it presents itself reminds me of the "Choose Your Own Adventure Books" by an interactive fiction standpoint in which I really like!

What I mean by that is there is a decent amount of choice in this game in terms of how you can go about doing things in order to progress further in the story. However, When I first started playing, I was initially turned off by this game because of how slow the game starts out. However, I'm glad I stuck with it and beat the game as I like the freedom of choice within this game. I like how when I hit a roadblock in terms of not being able to defeat the main enemies in my quest, how the game lead me to complete side quests, which gave me money to learn powerful skills. This alone eventually lead me into different areas because I had acquired these powerful skills. In which, I was able to get more powerful and then be able to venture back and defeat the main enemies. Sure, I didn't have to learn any of these skills, but because I did it allowed me to gain more weapons, items, stats and even complete quests in interesting ways in which made the game more manageable for me in the long run.

That being said, I think the biggest con to this game is the main story. I thought the story was pretty decent and I enjoyed how the story progressed throughout the game. Although, I can see why some didn't like the story as the story is basically your a guy who has amnesia that finds out that your the chosen one and now you must save this world from an "Evil King". However, the AI that was used to illustrate the main story as well as the side quests was pretty nice and I always enjoyed seeing what AI imagery was going to be used for each quest. Additionally, the music was also pretty good and made you seem more engaged with the setting. I also really enjoyed how the battles took place as it was very similar to how real life "Fantasy Gamebooks" are in terms of taking your stats into play, when fighting against each of the many monsters you fought against. Although, I had to save scum quite frequently in certain parts of the game to make sure I didn't die and I got the outcome I actually wanted as sometimes some of the fights seemed a little too much RNG even if you did have good stats.

Regardless, I give this game a 7.5/10! It's a pretty decent game to play if your a fan of choose your own adventure books, interactive fiction or even text based RPG's. It's a good first game made by an Indie Developer.

Moving forward, I would like to see Rap2h try to improve the story of his games and make the story more deep as well as continue to make choices meaningful and continue to think of ways to combine player's choices with interesting skills to be picked up that can be used in the world in interesting ways in order to progress the plot.

DR LIVESEY ROM AND DEATH EDITION is by far the best $1 game I have purchased on Steam so far. I love how you and your two partners, Jimmy & Squire move through the stages to extremely loud phonk music in a bullet-hell roguelike, while also fighting hordes of pirates who are trying to betray you and steal your gold. In addition to this, I also love the boss fights I have encountered as well as the random stages I have also encountered in addition to many of the power-ups you can pick up as well as the secret areas.

This game is definitely a vibe and you can easily tell this the first few seconds you play this game while listening to loud phonk music and blasting away pirates trying to steal your gold.

Overall, the game is unique and I give it an 8/10 for what it's trying to accomplish. This is a game I will keep in my Steam library just to one day collect all of it's achievements while listening to loud phonk music and blasting away pirates!
