This game could be good. Really good. There are just too many things that make it a chore to play.

I like the fact that the game lets you jump and it is actually a vaild way to dodge damage. It also shortens backtracking or in general traveling through the maps. There is also a good variety of different weapons that all have their atvantages and disadvantages.

The presentation is good. Environments and monsters are atmospheric and well done. You can control the camera which makes exploration and searching for secrets much more convenient. The music is fitting and the voice acting is solid. That being said the 'narrator' in the game gets on your nerves very fast. His 'humour' ranges from weak to obnoxious and the fact that he adds a fake laugh at the end of almost all of his 'witty' remarks is just awful.

Victor Vran's main problem in my opinion is that the monster auto-level with you and while that is bad in classic RPGs, in an ARPG is just kills most of the fun. The way the game abuses slow down attacks and in some areas homing missiles is just annoying. Building your character is also somewhat limited due to the fact that you can only choose one outfit that mainly decides how you charge your 'magic' and you can equip certain cards that give you buffs. That leaves the main character building up to the weapon choice and your skill to use it.

I think there's a way the game wants to be played and I just didn't get it. That being said I tried to adopt to what the game kept throwing at me and it never felt like I was in control of the game, but rather that I was just getting by. I even switched to casual difficulty (the shame) to see if it gets any more fun. It doesn't.

Victor Vran is by no means a bad game, but it just doesn't click with me when it comes to playing an ARPG. I can see that they tried to make it feel different and it achieves that. Some of the mechanics are very interesting and with a few changes it could be a really fun game, but as it is I would not recommend it. For a fiver in a sale it still might be worth a look though.

It says 'beta' at the top right, but I think it should say 'broken'. It's an unfinished RPGMaker 'game' with strange performance issues, a horrible translation to English and next to no game play. Asking 3$ for this is a joke. A bad joke.

This is a hard game to rate as it has a good amount of issues to deal with, but also a quite interesting idea. In the end it boils down to the question if it is worth your time and money.

The presentation in both the graphical style and the choice of music is very good. You get a good amount of film noir kind of detective tracks and also a good selection of melacholic tracks which both fit the the setting well. The cell shading look of the game also works really well.

The story is well presented and while (most of) the characters are over the top, as a whole it makes the game what it is. The only two locations (okay, let's say two and a half) are also well designed and allow for a surprisingly interesting exploration. Along with this goes the amount of collectibles that you can find throughout the game and that give the game a good amount of depth.

Why didn't I rate the game as recommended then? First and foremost it's the length of the game. The 'season' consists of two episodes and a prologue and they take you between four and six hours to complete. The game ends on a horrible cliffhanger and most likely there will be no season two (for understandable reasons, but it still leaves the game feel very incomplete).

The other reason (and a much more subjective one) is the use of QTE throughout the game. Even in cutscenes you are supposed to look for small button prompts that give you attentional info and credits. The real problem for me were the longer QTE fights in the game though. There is no setting for them and I'm pretty sure that the game punishes you for failing them. I barely managed to get through all of them without retrying, but it was far from a pleasant experience. The other problem with the gameplay is the use of credits to buy food to perform actions to get credits. It just doesn't feel like it's needed to add this mechanism, even if it sometimes creates the need to plan your course of action a bit ahead.

Overall it's surely an interesting game and if you don't mind QTE and can get it on sale, please have a look. For 15$ I found the game to be lacking in content and the amount of cosmetic DLC seems questionable to say the least.

The meaning of life is to collect shells and apples. At least according to this... 'game'.

I tried to do at least that, but it told me 'Connection Status: Disconected' and that's the equivalent of death I suppose (not that it ever told me that I was connected). Could be a nice and relaxing walking simulator on a tropical island if it wouldn't reset for no apparent reason.

Interesting game about a blind girl searching for her cat friend.

The main mechanic of the game is that you have to walk to places to 'see' them. White is the colour that you will see the most in this game and if you are sensitive to brightness the game might be not for you. There's also the problem that you walk very slowly which adds to the atmosphere of a blind girl slowly uncovering the world around her, but makes it very tedious to backtrack. Besides those two issues the game is fun to explore and looks pretty good.

The music and sound effects are scarce, but well chosen and when something makes a noise you 'see' that part of the world for a few seconds. In two chapters of the game it is raining and while in the first of the two the world gets only slowly 'washed away' it turns into a real problem in the second of those chapters. The fact that the world turns back to white pretty quick in that chapter makes the game harder to play and without a good sense of orientation you might get lost very often.

If you can stand the very slow pace of the game, Beyond Eyes is a great experience, but I'd highly recommend getting it on sale or in a bundle as it is rather short and doesn't offer much replay value.

You stare at the same green/black screen like in the 80s while you wait for very minimal things to happen. You can in the meantime attend to feed a rat or water some lettuce. That's the game and it takes forever. A quarter of the way to Mars takes around 20 minutes real time. There are a few events that can happen, but they are too little to create any kind of gameplay. The idea about a retro looking space travel sim isn't bad, but the way the game does it is just plain boring. Half the time it takes to get to Mars and add a bit more things to manage and this could be fun to play.

Quite interesting story drowned by horribly bad JRPG combat. This game is not just unbalanced, but the way that harder enemies just spam their special attacks constantly kills any kind of tactical approach. You just try to keep your party alive using vast amounts of healing items while occasionally having a spot to deal minimal counter damage. Maybe grinding a lot of level will make it better, but I'm not going to push myself through hours of mind bogglingly boring and easy battles just to be able to survive a few boss battles. If you don't mind the abysmal combat system, the story is worth a look for the price.

Intense and really interesting adventure about the Iranian revolution.

The presentation is unique and I really like the semi realistic art style of the game. The UI also has its own look and it adds to the game's atmosphere. The voice acting is excellent and together with the sound effects and some music creates the vivid feel that the game has.

The game tells the events of the Iranian revolution by putting you in the role of a person that has ties to both sides and while your role is pretty fixed, you have to make some important decisions along the way. Historical info is presented in an interesting way mainly by taking pictures or interacting with the environment.

The story gets under your skin and even if the game is packed with information, it's the events that are the most important. The few quick time events are very well integrated into the story and make the game even more immersive.

I really enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend playing the game if you are interested in recent history or just a well told story.

Oh dear... the game's presentation is great, but if the keyboard control in a Tetris clone doesn't work (frequently it ignores key presses or you can't even move the blocks at all until the next one appears) it simply doesn't matter.
