Small Radios Big Televisons



Overall:

Small Radios Big Televisions is about as unique as its name. This game is hard to categorize other than it is a puzzle game and a different one at that. This game will have you going in and out of doors in abandoned factories as you try to figure out what’s going on. The puzzles in this game stretch the realm of imagination and are in no form predictable.



Story:

The story for this game is a unique one. Even after playing through this game it still boggles my mind as to exactly what had occurred. You work your way through abandoned factories picking up pieces of the story as you go and with each completed factory there’s a cutscene that gives you insight. The story even when given every part of it still stretches reality but not to the point where it just gets too confusing to even know what’s going on in the game. The somewhat confusing storyline in this game makes you want to run back through it to fully understand what is happening, giving the game a slight replay value but not much. Unless you’re trying to speedrun the game I wouldn’t suggest playing more than a couple times just because it would get monotonous.



Levels:

Each level is a new abandoned factory, as you work your way through it, you pick up tapes for your multi-dimensional VR headset. You hop in and out of realms changing them as you go along collecting keys to unlock doors. In each factory, the puzzles get more and more complex and make you scratch your head a little harder. The realms that you visit in your VR headset are morphed and visited multiple times to beat each factory. In total there aren’t a crazy amount of factories to run through, making this game not too long but not too short, it’s about the perfect length for a puzzle game of this sort.



Achievements:

There aren’t many for this game which makes it a somewhat easy completion. You earn most of the achievements for completing the game, but others require you to complete certain tasks throughout each factory that does not alter the story or game. There are a couple of achievements that you can complete the story and not earn, but it is possible to get all achievements in one playthrough of the game

If you want to get all the achievements in one playthrough I suggest checking out this guide, it does a good job of giving you a description of the achievements without spoilers.

Conclusion:

Small Radios Big Televisions is a shorter different style puzzle game from most. If you enjoy puzzle games, I absolutely suggest this game. It has amazing puzzles with some being pretty difficult to figure out but will have you scratching your head for most of the game. The story is a bit of a stretch and a little confusing but that shouldn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of this game.

Poly Bridge

Overall: Poly Bridge is a bridge construction game that honestly surpasses the rest. No other bridge construction game offers the kind of levels that this one does. Of course, there are the basic "get this car across this gap" levels that any and all bridge construction games offer but there are also the "bounce the car off of this platform hanging off a hot air balloon" levels. Some of the levels that are in this game are so outrageous that they're funny and that comedic effect of the game is not one that is found in most bridge building games. Worlds: There are seven worlds in this game. Each world has fifteen levels that all have a common theme (artwork not solution). Each world gets progressively harder than the previous world and each level in a world gets progressively harder. The first couple of worlds are pretty easy but the further along you get the more and more difficult they are. Difficulty: This game has a very nice bala...

Devil Daggers

Overall: This game could be considered as a survival horde FPS that is very difficult to say the least. You get placed on a platform where all sorts of enemies come and try to kill you. You’re only defense are the daggers that you shoot out of your hand. Yes, you read that right, you shoot daggers out of you hand to kill what can only be described as demons. The only goal of this game is to survive as long as you can. Demons: Demons is the best word to describe the enemies in this game since you are in what is assumed to be hell. To begin with the base demons spawn out of spires that spawn randomly around the map but in a pattern. There are two main spires that spawn three different types of types of demons. Each spire spawns the base demon which flies toward you but is relatively slow and easy to avoid, however if not killed they can really add up and begin to be hard to avoid because of numbers. The first spire also spawns a horned demon which flies towards the mid...

Killing Floor 2

Image
Overall: This is a very enjoyable multiplayer survival FPS. It's an amazing sequel to what was already a really fun game. The Developers stay on the game constantly updating it and listening to the community which is nice in a day where most companies get their money and abandon the game. The achievements are fun to try and get. The only issues would be the occasional bugs, servers, and the community . Game Modes: The core game type is a wave by wave survival FPS with three different lengths; short, medium and long. Short has 4 rounds, medium has 7 rounds, and long has 10 rounds. There are also 4 different difficulties; normal, hard, suicidal and hell on earth. Normal is for your beginners, nothing too difficult while hard is also not that difficult but can be tricky if you're running solo or don’t have much experience. Suicidal is probably the balanced difficulty; it offers a challenge to experienced teams while still being achievable fo...
