Is a MUST-play at this price tag for P&C adventure lovers. Has some nice puzzles (one requires some math thinking but it was up my alley so no problem). A couple of "carry this from A to B" style objectives but not too much of a hassle. Could have used a "double-click to change scene" option. Your actions can have consequences including death so you should save accordingly. Felt about the right length for this kind of adventure, should take about 1.5-2 hours to get all achievements.

For some reason I don't like this game but it's hard to explain why - the graphics are pretty good, the story is original(ish), the controls are mostly fine and the puzzles are OK, if a bit on the tedious side. It's also a free game so it feels very unfair to downvote it. I think the dialog is just awfully bad and the voice acting - while clear - is just beyond annoying. I hope I don't ever have to listen to this again.

Free to everyone at time of review. A humorous sci-fi point and click adventure with retro graphics, fully voiced and with music, and it's free! The voice acting is actually pretty good, too, which is more than I can say for many early "talkie" games (I'm looking at you, King's Quest V). I lost my first game, because I quit for the night and had forgotten how to calm the GNRBLEX when I resumed play in the morning. Pay attention, or you, too, shall be wormed.

Got stuck pretty early on. Even after interacting with everything multiple times and trying every tool interaction there's no obvious next path. More frustrating than fun for me. I never really got to the interesting story bits.

Игра GNRBLEX поражает своей уникальной механикой и стилем. Захватывающий геймплей, где нужно быстро думать и действовать, не отпускает до самого конца. Отличное сочетание головоломки и экшена, сопровождаемое потрясающим саундтреком и психоделической графикой. Невероятно адреналиновый и addictive опыт! Однозначно рекомендую всем любителям сложных и нестандартных игр.

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.

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.
