SolCycle is one of the most unusual adventure games I have played recently, and I really liked how different it feels from a normal trading or exploration game. I play as PRIV 8, a robot cat archaeologist who travels to a strange post human society built by plant powered robots, only to become trapped in a time loop. I found the setting immediately charming. The trading system is the heart of the gameplay. Instead of relying on normal money based shops, I have to barter with the local characters and work out what they want in exchange for the things I need. I enjoyed this because conversations become part of the gameplay rather than simply being a way to deliver story text. The time loop makes the trading much more interesting. Every reset gives me the chance to use the information I learned previously and approach people in a smarter way. I liked gradually figuring out the routines of the community because it feels like solving a social puzzle. I am not just collecting items. I am learning how the world works. The solarpunk presentation is easily my favorite part. The world is filled with plant based technology, strange animal characters and little fruit themed creatures, while…

I really liked the interesting way of completing the main quest and would love to finish it, got it almost figured out, but unfortunately, getting stuck with an uncontrolable buggy camera that pans bakc and forth somewhere in a corner made me really dizzy and after a dozen of it gave an awful headache. Great idea overall, but execution needs some readjusting for an enjoyable experience imho.

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.
