Magical Strings is a Unreal Engine based third person fighting game with a twist: the combat is a Dance Dance Revolution style rhythm game. And it's got an ancient China theme. Fight various enemies by hitting the right buttons at the right times. Despite being made with the Unreal Engine there's a number of technical defects. Resolution and controls are locked, which isn't acceptable for PC. There's an ugly filter or screen blur going on, and with no visual tweaks, it's impossible to improve the visual quality. The game assets are somewhat low poly, but look reasonable enough. This looks very much as if it was intended to be a console game, and the developers went out of their way to insult PC gamers with console peasant children's toy gamepad prompts. This is particularly interesting because the game doesn't seem to be a console port, it doesn't seem to have been accepted by console manufacturers, possibly due to quality issues. Because there's no customisable controls, there's no way to turn off the insulting console peasant prompts. It's great that this is free, but the quality isn't at the level that I could recommend this to PC gamers. I feel this should probab…

Игра 'Magical Strings' очаровала меня своим уникальным сочетанием расслабляющего геймплея и захватывающей истории. Идея использования волшебных струн для решения головоломок и создания мелодий гениальна и очень приятна на ощупь. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально передает сказочную атмосферу, а графика, хоть и не самая продвинутая, выполнена в приятном, теплом стиле. Сюжет, повествующий о восстановлении гармонии в мире, подкупает своей простотой и добротой. Персонажи запоминающиеся, а их истории, хоть и короткие, вызывают искренние эмоции. Сложность головоломок постепенно возрастает, заставляя думать, но не перегружая игрока. Единственный минус, пожалуй, это небольшая продолжительность игры. Хотелось бы провести в этом мире гораздо больше времени и исследовать все его уголки. Тем не менее, 'Magical Strings' оставляет после себя очень теплое и приятное послевкусие. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет спокойную, красивую и вдохновляющую игру. Это прекрасный способ расслабиться и окунуться в волшебство.

Good game, needs a bit of polishing on the controllers, but overall I 100% recommend it

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy
