A refreshing throwback to those classic 2D platformers - great art, sound and speed/score leaderboards make this game really engaging!

Emberlight is a 2D retro pixel platformer that seems to have been flipped by copying a GameMaker Studio/Yoyogames platformer template and applying a bunch of asset sprites/tileset elements. It's a very basic 2D retro pixel platformer. Poor quality retro pixel "art" aside, I was unable to play the game for some reason as it seems to just start the scroll to the right and then stop scrolling, showing a part of the first level but nothing else. This might be due to inadequate testing on game controllers, but it's unclear, regardless, the game may not work for you if you download it. While the developer made this game free, which is noble, it's a template flip and the bugginess, unplayability and other low quality that is synonymous with GameMaker Studio make this impossible to recommend, even for free.

Игра Emberlight – это увлекательная roguelike RPG с изометрической перспективой и очаровательным мультяшным стилем. Здесь, вместо привычной безжалостной сложности, игра предлагает более мягкий, но все еще вызывающий опыт. Сердцем игры является уникальная система болезней, которые не только ослабляют героя, но и могут дать неожиданные баффы. Это создает интересные стратегические решения: рисковать ради временного усиления, или искать лекарство. Боевая система в реальном времени интуитивно понятна. Разнообразие врагов и артефактов, влияющих на способности, не дают заскучать. Визуально игра приятна, музыкальное сопровождение атмосферное. Emberlight хорошо оптимизирована и не требовательна к железу. Конечно, игре есть куда расти. Иногда баланс кажется шатким, и не хватает контента, но тем не менее, это увлекательный проект, который затягивает на долгие часы, и заслуживает внимания любителей жанра.

[h1]Before I played Emberlight, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Games like Undertale that remember what you didPC

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

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, where one idea carries the whole game

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.
