Super Orb Collector (SOC) is a casual puzzle game themed around obtaining the titular objects whilst evading environmental hazards. This title is rather entertaining yet short, prompting little in terms of critique, so I will be brief with this writing. I received SOC through the Curator Connect function on Steam, and have played the title with both the primary mouse and controller maneuverability options. Here are several objects of discussion for this title: Gameplay - Spanning approximately twenty minutes from my experience, Super Orb Collector allots this presentation with the linear stage progression of moderately challenging puzzles. The primary objective of this game is to collect each of the glowing orbs in each stage, then progress to the revealed goal marker; you must do so while not coming into contact with moving map materials manufactured to be obstacles. For example, rotating wall segments, constantly expanding and retracting patterns, and even the entire screen bound...

Cube Mission (CM) is a puzzle platformer designed around navigating the titular object through a multitude of obstacles both static and dynamic in function. Though elementary, CM communicates charm in its gameplay and level compositions that are engaging and moderately challenging. Please be advised that I have experienced this title with both a controller and with the standard keyboard controls. I also must proclaim that I received this game through Steam’s Curator Connect. Here are just a few points of interest concerning this title: Gameplay - This title utilizes simple execution and minimalistic design rather than extraneous detail for designed properties, bringing into focus gameplay elements rather than unnecessary effects. Maneuverability is grid-based and involves the directional pad on the keyboard or the various orientations on controllers, and was immediately responsive to inputs. The primary objective of each mission comprises of reaching a specified glowing goal marker...

”To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.” -T.F. Hodge ***Special thanks go to Chap for proofing this review. I figured I should get a point-and-click professional on the job just in case. With its original release in 1996, Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs (FF) is a point-and-click adventure title themed in Arizona of 1866. The title’s namesake is that of the protagonist, appearing to be a righteous cowboy who happens upon a shootout centered on obtaining a glorious golden skull. I must admit that I am still split on recommending this game, but found some fundamental issues-described in further detail-to bridge this writing closer to the negative connotation. I received this title as a keycode from the developers for review purposes. Here are just a few topics of note: Writing - FF is a generally comedic title with campy dialogue and absurd voice acting which communicates charm throughout this adventure, and legitim...

***Many, many thanks go to Cold Dingo for proofing this title. Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a roleplaying title that centers fast-paced two-dimensional brawling with item and statistic management endorsed by a majority of turn-based titles. Aurion boasts African culture as its primary source of reference, and translates these ideals into a narrative in which Enzo and Erine-the rightful heirs to the Zama throne-must journey to discover their hidden power and subsequently reclaim said sovereignty. Before continuing I would like to state that I received this title from the developers for no further compensation. Here are just a few reasons to try this title: Story - As per the customary preference with these writings, this section will veer from spoilers to a certain capacity. This title is said by a developer to be a “magnification” of “Egyptian, Malian, Cameroonian, and Ethiopian mythologies,” (quoted here) following Enzo Kori-Odan and his wife, Erine Evou, of the Kama tribe...
