✦ AI summary

Einar is a small, free adventure game with Nordic mythology theming that players describe as fun to mess around with for a couple hours, featuring logical puzzles and atmospheric minimalist presentation. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including buggy AI that teleports and one-shots players, janky mechanics with limited animations, generic audio, and frequent cutscenes that interrupt gameplay.

Extremely buggy and unpolished.

game is incomplete and jank asf. says it has "Complex AI" to attack you from "unexpected angles" the only thing unexpected is when an enemy gets stuck over 50 ft away from you and then teleports directly behind you and 1-shot's you. Claims to have AAA quality which may either be a way to get people to play the game OR could be a dig at how bad AAA games have been recently (which would actually be hilarious). all the noises are generic and sound like a random soundboard bite rather than actual properly edited audio, multiple enemies were found to be monoposed and the melee is extremely basic with maybe 2 animations for each of the 3 different attack types. there are also cutscenes every 10 minutes.

Игра "Einar" - небольшая, но захватывающая приключенческая головоломка, погружающая в атмосферу скандинавской мифологии. Графика выполнена в минималистичном стиле, но это не мешает ей передавать ощущение суровой северной природы и древних тайн. Понравилось, что головоломки логичные и не требуют интуитивных угадываний. Каждая новая локация предлагает уникальные испытания, заставляя думать и применять различные механики. Сюжет, хотя и не является ключевым элементом, добавляет мотивации проходить дальше, раскрывая историю персонажа, затерянного в этом мире. Управление удобное и интуитивно понятное. Единственным небольшим минусом является некоторая монотонность музыкального сопровождения, хотя оно и хорошо вписывается в общую атмосферу. В целом, игра оставляет приятное впечатление и идеально подходит для тех, кто любит медитативные головоломки и скандинавскую тематику. Рекомендую к ознакомлению, особенно по скидке!

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
