95. Framed: a well received puzzle game on iOS that's finally been released on Android. The central conceit is that the story in each level is told through a series of comic book panels which you need to reorder to get your character to the end of the page. So, for instance, in the initial setup your guy might run round a corner straight into the sights of a waiting policeman; so you reorder the panels to have him climbing a set of stairs first in an earlier panel and when he gets to the cop he runs unseen over his head. Basically it's a genuinely unique game and great fun so people should play it.

It loops a little bit then finally finishes. I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what was going on with it at the end but yeah, just keep playing and you'll hit the credits.

Also, the looped levels have been rearranged and are slightly more difficult than the first time through so you're not just doing the exact same thing again.

It's also got quite a lot of rooms and stuff that don't do shit so there's more time spent just tapping on unresponsive objects than you should really need to spend. Also my character got completely stuck on a bit of scenery at one point forcing me to restart the entire game and spend the next playthrough nervously manual saving all the time.

In essence a text Choose Your Own Adventure-style game, but you play in real time in conversation with a stranded astronaut. Nice to play something a bit different, but I wouldn't say the story was at all gripping.

I was pretty gripped by it up until nearer the end where it kind of rushes through the denouement. I thought it did a pretty good job of building up tension and dropping hints of weird goings on for the majority but it just blew all that in a confused run for the finale.

It started off pretty strong and I was really enjoying the mix of stealth and full on shooting but it doesn't do anything I haven't seen a million times before and the flaws in it's formula started to show pretty quickly. The pacing was all over the place as well and, while I realise it was often done to mix things up a bit, a lot of the time you were never sure if you were in a firefight because you were supposed to get spotted or just because you'd fucked up a stealth section. There was also too many times where you were chucked into an arena fight with shit guns (the space station level and the one just after had some truly teeth-grinding examples of this problem) which just made the entire section a grind. It's not a bad game per se but there's just something a bit wonky about it's design and frankly I was glad to see the end of it. Also, very unexpectedly, the visuals were really patchy. At first glance everything looks pretty nice but there was a lot of awful textures on display and some quirk of the anti-aliasing meant that whole chunks of floor or wall would have this weird strobing sort of 'glisten' to them which would sometimes disappear after you first pointed the camera at the offending area. Very odd!

Took a long time to get round to playing this. Combination of preferring ruined medieval worlds to somewhat dilapidated Victorian worlds. And missing my shield in new areas. Combat did feel a bit more one paced and a bit small as compared Dark Souls. I would say best game of the year, but for the lack of disappointed bear noises.

I'm a slug.

Another entry in a seemingly endless series of variations over Symphony of the Night (A game which I've played, but not finished. I should get around to that, really). But they always manage to be incredibly well made, fun and addictive. Some of them can also be slightly frustrating in places, but this one pretty much avoids that.

Now I made it to the credits, but the ending was fairly muted, the last boss a bit easy, and I haven't explored the entire castle, so there is obviously more to this. Something for a rainy day.

I had no idea what to expect here. I don't even remember when or how this appeared in my Steam library. It turned out to be a quite original and surprisingly pretty physics puzzle/action platformer. I played the original version over the bloomtastic "enchanted" edition, because I actually preferred the way that looked. And like I've mentioned elsewhere, I don't have much time for remakes.

I played it with mouse and keyboard, and I don't think I would have enjoyed playing it with a gamepad to be honest. It gets rather fiddly and a bit frustrating at the end, but not enough to prevent me from finishing and enjoying it.

I am listing this now because I've seen an ending and the credits. This actually happened a couple of months ago, but I was unsure if I wanted to list it, since there is a whole new slew of puzzles to complete to see the "real" ending as it were. However, they are ridiculously hard and involve a lot of exploration and a whole different way of thinking about the game*, and it's probably going to take me years of playing once in a while to get through them, if it will ever happen, so there you go.

All I can say is, if you have any love for Portal style puzzles you must play this game. It is amazing.

* Not that I mind this, I've solved some of them, and it is actually very interesting.

Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only one that enjoys those as a guilty pleasure. Sorting the good from the bad is definitely a challenge though given that each publisher puts out stuff of wildly varying quality from different developers. On the Android side of the fence though every one of them's available as a free version which lets you see a good chunk of the game and then pay to unlock the rest so if it's shite you don't waste any cash.

Yeah same here. Played the free trial and then unlocked the rest afterwards. It was ok, just not uber awesome.

I didn't like the presentation quite as much as Hitman but that's not to say it's not lovely looking because it is; it's just that Hitman's faux-board game aesthetic looked brilliant and I really liked it.

I remember liking it about 10 years ago and then I stopped playing it for some reason. Now I know why, the last levels are rubbish with some obtuse puzzles. I used a walkthrough to complete it and now I feel dirty.

43. Super Time Force Ultra (PS4).

The weird thing about this is it's really quite funny and could probably be quite entertaining but whereas I thought the writing was spot on the gameplay was just something, something, something. Why wasn't I having much fun? I mean, I played it through to completion so I got what was going on and I could do it but it was just a bit of a chore. I could barely force myself to pick up the controller and boot it up until I realised that there weren't many levels. "Oh, I could probably sledgehammer my way into enjoying it" I thought to myself, and whilst it kinda worked, I was still not really having a joyous time playing it.

I honestly can't put my finger on why I didn't really enjoy it. Well, apart from shooting at a diagonal was a FUCKING NIGHTMARE as you had to root yourself to the spot with the shoulder button. Maybe it was the controls then? It was alright, it was interesting, it was well written, it was funny but I'd struggle to recommend anyone pick it up and play it unless it was free. Which it was. Kinda.

100. Lego Marvel Super Heroes: fun in very short bursts, but the core game is incredibly repetitive which undermines the charm of the whole thing for me. Also I can't believe modern Ubisoft games get slagged off for being collectathons when this kind of thing exists. You'd need to mental to even attempt to 100% it, especially as it means playing the whole thing through at least twice. Then spending countless hours doing fetch quests and nonsense all over the open world. Also, and this might be an issue because it's the first Lego game I've really played, but it does a fucking terrible, terrible job of explaining itself. I had to Google some of the icons on the map to find out what they meant, also how to buy stuff with the 'money' I had because although it flashes up in the pause menu that stuff was available it said fuck all about finding a single semi-secret room on the helicarrier before you could do anything. And I only by accident stumbled across the fact that you could switch your available characters around at any time without visiting one of the Shield selection point things. There's no real excuse for not telling someone all of that and it pissed me off even though I could Google up the answers pretty quickly.

I've 100%'d it. Along with Legos Pirates, Batman 1 & 2, Lord of the Rings and Movie.

I did them all co-op though. Wouldn't want to play them on my own. In fact I'd say Marvel was the most varied and interesting of them all, with it being open-world.

A bit shit. Your character controls like he's drunk and the physics engine the game is tied to is faulty. Almost like they decided to make Sumotori a platforming game. Also: No Disappointed bears.

I had the check a few times to confirm what game you were talking about because your comments make it sound like something else entirely. Not least as the protagonist is female.
