Starshot is HugeMallard's only game at writting this review. It is difficult rougelike action permadeath shooter, which takes place in space. It was released in 16th August 2020. There isn't any story in this game, just you in a spaceship shooting down other spaceships. There are plenty of game breaking bugs. Often either I or the enemy got behind the bounds. Player can somewhat get back inside, or just by restarting the game, but the enemy is stuck there forever. The game runs slower in 30fps than in 60fps, so it is much easier to avoid the shots. I like this game, because its graphics and gameplay, but not because the soundtracks. I just turned it off and played some music I got on my computer. It is very hard game to beat. I've been trying to beat it to this day since 2022, the further I got was fighting against the core. Sadly, the developer probably neglects the game and didn't release any updates. I do recommend trying out the game, or beating it, as it is for free!

Addictive, difficult, rewarding, frustrating. That's a treat.

Игра Starshot – это приятный сюрприз в жанре аркадных шутеров! Простая, но увлекательная механика полетов и стрельбы затягивает с первых минут. Постоянное улучшение корабля и открытие новых видов оружия добавляют глубины и стимулируют продолжать играть. Визуальный стиль, хотя и минималистичный, вполне симпатичен и не отвлекает от геймплея. Особенно хочется отметить удобное управление, позволяющее легко маневрировать и точно направлять огонь. Разнообразие врагов и их паттернов поведения заставляет постоянно адаптироваться и применять разные стратегии. Боссы представляют собой настоящую проверку навыков и требуют максимальной концентрации. Единственный недостаток – некоторая однообразность локаций. Хотелось бы больше визуального разнообразия, чтобы игра не наскучила со временем. В целом, Starshot – отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет динамичный и увлекательный аркадный шутер, в который можно поиграть как короткие сессии, так и затянуться на несколько часов. Рекомендую!

[h1]Before I played Starshot, 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 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 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.
