 <\/p>\r\n

We got our hands on a preview build of Splashteam's second game Tinykin. Tinykin is a wonderful cartoon animated 3D adventure. It does pay homage to Pikmin for sure and does give me Toy Story vibes through the look and feel. The perspective is from a small character (the size of a small toy) in a human world. You start in the living room, which seems massive, and you encounter a whole cast of creatures on your journey. What hit me straight away was the stunning cartoony graphics that were bright but in a beautiful 3D world. I was more than pleasantly surprised; it was polished from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin1\"<\/p>\r\n

The preview does give you an entire level to discover the game mechanics and a feel for the game. You play as Milo, the explorer, who is in this amazing living room full of life and creatures. The game does have that mix of platform and puzzle all rolled into one. It's a joyful, bright, and wonderful experience. The game has tons of characters, and the cartoon art style gives a fantastic look and feel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Milo has a supporting cast of Tinykins little creatures with special powers; in the preview, you encounter two types of Tinykins who can move items and blow things up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin4\"<\/p>\r\n

A mix of platform, strategy and using Tinykins constitute the gameplay. It's a very fun platform game with a lot of puzzles to solve in a beautifully rendered world. I played the game using an Xbox controller, and the controls are super intuitive. The game does give directed guidelines as you uncover a new mechanic. The game is super slick and a real joy to play.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin5\"<\/p>\r\n

I was impressed from the start with the wonderful look and feel. The game looks and feels polished. The game mechanics were intuitive, and the art style lends itself to a beautiful looking game. This one level was a great taster, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the full game holds and how much richer it will be.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We got our hands on a preview build of Splashteam's second game Tinykin. Tinykin is a wonderful cartoon animated 3D adventure. It does pay homage to Pikmin for sure and does give me Toy Story vibes through the look and feel. The perspective is from a small character (the size of a small toy) in a human world. You start in the living room, which seems massive, and you encounter a whole cast of creatures on your journey. What hit me straight away was the stunning cartoony graphics that were bright but in a beautiful 3D world. I was more than pleasantly surprised; it was polished from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The preview does give you an entire level to discover the game mechanics and a feel for the game. You play as Milo, the explorer, who is in this amazing living room full of life and creatures. The game does have that mix of platform and puzzle all rolled into one. It's a joyful, bright, and wonderful experience. The game has tons of characters, and the cartoon art style gives a fantastic look and feel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Milo has a supporting cast of Tinykins little creatures with special powers; in the preview, you encounter two types of Tinykins who can move items and blow things up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A mix of platform, strategy and using Tinykins constitute the gameplay. It's a very fun platform game with a lot of puzzles to solve in a beautifully rendered world. I played the game using an Xbox controller, and the controls are super intuitive. The game does give directed guidelines as you uncover a new mechanic. The game is super slick and a real joy to play.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am looking forward to seeing future updates in this game and what the game will ultimately become.<\/span>","post_title":"Dream Cycle Preview","post_excerpt":"3D adventure game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dream-cycle-preview","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:43:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:43:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206994","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206821,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-08-26 16:23:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-08-26 15:23:33","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Dark Lord<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatform:<\/strong>\u00a0Steam Early Access from August 11th<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:\u00a0<\/strong>Daedalic Entertainment<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGlitchpunk is the latest cyberpunk game that I have managed to get some hands-on gameplay time over the last week.

You can hijack cars and do as you please! A decent storyline and good dialogue help to bring some colour to the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGlitchpunk allows the player to build relationships with other gangs\/factions that can be friendly or adversarial.

However, it should be noted that it is an early access game, and it has some issues. The driving mechanics in the vehicles are clunky and annoying; to say the least, it needs a bit of tweaking. I encountered various issues with the frame rate with a whole host of different graphical settings that also made the game frustrating. Whilst doing missions, you can get a cop rating of between 1 - 5 that indicates your wanted level, I found that police just randomly being everywhere and that the two stars wanted level; that it didn't make a whole lot of sense. The save game feature isn't spelt out. If the developers were to do this, it would have made my first few attempts at the game less annoying. It turned into a rogue-like until I figured out where the safe house was.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"glitchpunk3\"\r\n\r\nThe combination of these issues does impact the game. It is a clever concept that has been well thought out but needs some bug fixes to reach its potential; I'm looking forward to the next update where Glitchpunk isn't as glitchy.<\/span>","post_title":"Glitchpunk Preview","post_excerpt":"Cyberpunk game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"glitchpunk-preview","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:45:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:45:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206821","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":11},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};

 <\/p>\r\n

I played the demo of Silt on Steam over the last week; or so, it's an interesting indie game that is a healthy mix of intrigue and adventure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Silt has this beautiful film Noir feel to it. The use of primarily black and white colours gives the player a wonderful underwater world to explore. The lack of colours highlights the sense of mystery and discovery throughout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"silt1\"<\/p>\r\n

You assume the role of this diver in the depths of the sea; you must navigate an array of puzzles to proceed deeper into the endless sea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every level has its nuances to figure out; the game does encourage the player to discover puzzles and figure them out. You are given just the right amount of directions; the game lets you explore the puzzles and levels in your own time. The game uses a few buttons, so it's straightforward to pick up and play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The diver can possess creatures and assume their powers; each creature you encounter has its unique abilities. Each creature has its unique ability that you will use to solve the puzzles. The dark nature of the game makes every creature standout this accented by the brilliant use of light in the game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"silt2\"<\/p>\r\n

The demo gives the player enough of a taste to get a feel for the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I loved the art style and the art direction of the game. The film noir feel does give the game a wonderfully dark and mysterious atmosphere. The game is beautiful; the use of light has such an impact and helps to break the black and white feel of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The game demo does deliver a rich and enjoyable experience. I'm a big fan of puzzles in games, where the emphasis is on exploration and discovery. This game does give a wonderful dark world for you to explore with some fantastic cinematics.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Splashteam\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Platforms:<\/strong>\u00a0Previewed on Steam Coming to Switch, Playstation and Xbox<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Genre: <\/strong>Action, Adventure<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0tinyBuild<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

We got our hands on a preview build of Splashteam's second game Tinykin. Tinykin is a wonderful cartoon animated 3D adventure. It does pay homage to Pikmin for sure and does give me Toy Story vibes through the look and feel. The perspective is from a small character (the size of a small toy) in a human world. You start in the living room, which seems massive, and you encounter a whole cast of creatures on your journey. What hit me straight away was the stunning cartoony graphics that were bright but in a beautiful 3D world. I was more than pleasantly surprised; it was polished from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin1\"<\/p>\r\n

The preview does give you an entire level to discover the game mechanics and a feel for the game. You play as Milo, the explorer, who is in this amazing living room full of life and creatures. The game does have that mix of platform and puzzle all rolled into one. It's a joyful, bright, and wonderful experience. The game has tons of characters, and the cartoon art style gives a fantastic look and feel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Milo has a supporting cast of Tinykins little creatures with special powers; in the preview, you encounter two types of Tinykins who can move items and blow things up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin4\"<\/p>\r\n

A mix of platform, strategy and using Tinykins constitute the gameplay. It's a very fun platform game with a lot of puzzles to solve in a beautifully rendered world. I played the game using an Xbox controller, and the controls are super intuitive. The game does give directed guidelines as you uncover a new mechanic. The game is super slick and a real joy to play.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"tinykin5\"<\/p>\r\n

I was impressed from the start with the wonderful look and feel. The game looks and feels polished. The game mechanics were intuitive, and the art style lends itself to a beautiful looking game. This one level was a great taster, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the full game holds and how much richer it will be.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The game centres around Morgan Carter and the journey through Dreamlands to get her essence back. Morgan's essence was stolen; by her great-great-grand-uncle, Randolph Carter, who is trying to enslave the Dreamlands for his purposes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"dreamcycle1\"\r\n\r\nDream Cycle can be played in several perspectives first-person, third-person or hybrid of both (dynamic camera angle chooses what it sees as fit). The option to switch modes is in the menu. Once you decide what view to take, you are on your merry way to explore this labyrinth of levels. Dream Cycle is a mix of a platformer, shooter and stealth game with some magic thrown in for good measure. For the player, this means you can adapt and play the game as suits you. You can go gung-ho or take a stealthy approach. I ended up playing a mix of both to get a feel of your weapons and game mechanics. I found the controls straightforward and intuitive. I liked the mixture of magic and guns. It was jarring at first but grew on me fairly quickly! As you progress through the levels, you gain more magic spells to help you battle the creatures at each dark corner.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"dreamcycle3\"\r\n\r\nThe mix of platform elements, fighting, and shooting constitute the core of the game. There are climbing elements, astral projection, and teleportation to help you navigate through the adventures. The adventures (levels) are short and impactful. You take the approach that best suits the game style you want to use. I loved the exploration and discovery of levels. Levels do have lots of weapons and power-ups to find. I enjoyed the choice of a bow, handgun or machine gun as your choice of ranged weapons, unexpected but fun.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"dreamcycle2\"\r\n\r\nIt is an early access game with the latest patch of 1.1.6 at the time of this preview. I didn't encounter any bugs or issues on my playthroughs. The world and the cel-shaded art style mixed with magic elements provides a wonderful; canvas for Morgan to explore. The game has tons of adventures and levels to navigate. I loved the mix of climbing and traversing terrain while using spells such as astral projection to navigate parts of the level to find the best way to scale huge castles. The environments and graphics are magical and intriguing. I did find the similar enemies a bit repetitive at times. I would have liked a bit more of a story-driven narrative to levels instead of just choosing them from the map. In totality, I enjoyed the game mechanics, the levels and the world. I am looking forward to seeing future updates in this game and what the game will ultimately become.<\/span>","post_title":"Dream Cycle Preview","post_excerpt":"3D adventure game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dream-cycle-preview","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:43:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:43:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206994","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206821,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-08-26 16:23:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-08-26 15:23:33","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Dark Lord<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatform:<\/strong>\u00a0Steam Early Access from August 11th<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:\u00a0<\/strong>Daedalic Entertainment<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGlitchpunk is the latest cyberpunk game that I have managed to get some hands-on gameplay time over the last week.
