Perry Ruhland's Reviews
What we’ve got here with Little King’s Story is a brilliant game ported to Steam with all the finesse and grace of a runaway monster truck. It’s good to be the king, just not on this platform.
An interesting idea that has flashes of brilliance, but is hampered by baffling and counterintuitive design decisions.
Reagan Gorbachev is a deeply flawed game with nothing but a creative premise going for it.
Daily Chthonicle: Editor's Edition is a game with a good idea and a lot of heart poured into it, but is crippled by substandard at best mechanics.
I Can't Escape: Darkness is vague, contains random and frustrating win states, not scary, and the best part is the secrets and sound design.
A beautiful and potentially fantastic horror story squandered by cheap scares presented at a breakneck pace.
Dead Island Retro Revenge is not quite a runner, not quite a beat em up, and not quite a good game.
Bland, inoffensive, and instantly forgettable - Mr. Shifty does nothing a lot wrong, but it does nothing a lot right either.
With a horrifically conflicting relationship between mechanics and narrative, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is a great example of two great tastes that don't taste great together.
Omnibus is an enjoyable game with a fun premise, but the novel concept is brought down by wonky physics.
A mechanically solid game with some fantastic level design that sadly delivers a narrative that is ho-hum at best.
The Sexy Brutale is an occasionally muddled sci-fi story with just enough macabre charm and attention to detail to make it stand out.
While Clustertruck may hit some speed bumps here and there, there's nothing quite like it when it cuts loose.
Dishonored 2 is a functional follow-up to a classic that is mired by the addition of all sorts of unnecessary elements.
Deadbolt isn't the fairest game on the market, but it always keeps you coming back for more.
A fun, solid sidescrolling shooter. There's not a lot wrong with it, and I managed to have some good fun.
Party Hard may suffer from repetition at times, but the more I play it, the more it grows on me.
While it's better than the first two, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 suffers from an unresponsive defense mechanic.
A thoroughly enjoyable survival horror title that can provide good scares and a great atmosphere.
Dark Souls III isn't revolutionary, but it's taken me on a ride I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
