Gemlands

I first found out about this little game on a random post I found on Reddit, asking people to check out a guy's first game release on Steam. I found myself rather hesitant as I do not particularly find myself enjoying indie games that much. But, seeing how enthusiastic its developer sounded I found myself tempted to at least have a look what this game was all about. One look at the store page and I found myself loving the simple yet appealing art style of the game. Now, about the game itself. Simply put, incredibly creative and surprisingly fun! The variety of the environments combined with some butt clinching parkouring all made for an exciting little game. One minor point of criticism I have is that the boss fight at the end was incredibly short and easy, it also would've been nice to see every weapon be used as I found that the bow was a bit neglected here. In conclusion, if you find yourself looking for a short but fun little game. Get yourself gemland and start collecting those gems friend! Keep up the creativity Kyle, I will certainly be checking out your future releases!

Reviewing to feed the Steam algorithm. Quaint and amateurish, but charming. The blue and yellow secret islands were a little less fun, but overall I enjoyed my time. Good for players who like to just explore, collect things, and chill.

This game is a treasure trove for those looking to relive the simple experience of oldschool rpg style games. Considering it was done by one person as their first game, id give this game endless credit for what it offers. It isnt too difficult while also offering extra challenge if you truly wish to push for it. The formula used here is old and nostalgic, which leaves a wonderful taste in the mouth of those who wish to be taken back to the good ole days. Would highly recommend if you have a few hours to spare with a hunger for some old-fashioned platforming.

It doesn't feels as much like a collectiathon as a child friendly version of one of those Only Up, and Bennet Foddy type games. Still has some 3d platforming goodness though. A couple small buds but nothing game breaking. Couple hours of fun for a couple bucks you can't go wrong.

I want an expanded sequel to this.
