Steam Community :: Tyrian :: Review for DOOM: The Dark Ages Doom: The Dark Ages is a genuinely great game. I'd rank it between Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal. I want to say that up front, because the vast majority of this review is going to be negative. This isn...

If you don't have a half dozen more engaging combat mechanics to throw at the player instead, that's what to work on next.

"Wait for the light to turn green, then hit the button" is fun exactly once, at the start of a Mario Kart race.

"This enemy is invincible until you parry its attack" is literally just putting a stoplight in the middle of gameplay.

Steam Community :: Tyrian :: Review for Taiji Top tier puzzle game. Matthew clearly played The Witness and, after changing his pants, proceeded to build essentially a demake of it. It's just as good (this is high praise) and costs significantly l...

Hi honey, new Witness demake just dropped. It slaps. If you're a fan of pure puzzle games, go pick this up immediately.

I give it 6 months after the Switch 2 comes out, before an open-source Android (or PC, or maybe even Mac) client for GameShare shows up. I give it 6 months from then for Nintendo's lawyers to get butthurt about it. Whether the courts actually do anything in response, I'm not sure.

Save 30% on Boxes: Lost Fragments on Steam As a legendary thief, your next assignment lures you into a grand and lavish mansion. There you find a series of puzzle boxes, designed for an unknown purpose. What should have been a quick in-and-out...

It's exactly what it says it is. Puzzle boxes: The Game. There's tons of them, and they're all ornately designed and fairly easy to solve. It's one of those games that I'll play every few years, even though I know all the answers, just for the sheer joy of seeing wheel go click and drawer go shwoop.

Steam Community :: Tyrian :: Review for Shadowhand Solitaire I got Regency Solitaire in a humble bundle, way back, and had a good time playing it. I played the sequel as well, and thought the addition of persistent upgrades between rounds was a great improvemen...

Nevermind the cleavage, here's a solitaire game with RPG stats and an equipment menu.

AHA! I can just post it as a Steam review and link to that!

Buddy, I would love to, it doesn't nearly fit in the character limit and posting it as a thread would be ridiculous.

Well, I got this account to cross-post my game reviews from FB, only to discover it has a 300 character hard limit on post length. So uhhhh, I guess I'm making those articles public on FB and posting links to them? Any better ideas?
