In Search of a Bird's Family: A Grayland Game Review

Hello and back again with me. Yes, it hasn't been long after my last post and if you're thinking why, the answer is quite simple. As for now, I'm trying to improve my writing, both in terms of quality and as a habit, and I figured that this activity may be a suitable means of doing it(and hey! Another legit reason to play games!). Alright enough with the background, and let's get into this game! Its a game review of none other than Grayland.

Grayland is a 2D adventure game developed and published by 1DER Entertainment back in December 2019. This unity powered game is available to play on both pc and mobile experience. This game doesn't take up much space as it only weighs around 50 MB. 

Story

The game begins with a cutscene showing some hunters who just caught a bird nest, complete with the eggs and the bird. After they left, we will see another bird, previously shot down by the hunters, getting back up and in pursue of its family. Along the way, we will see how messed up the world is, as an alien invasion is on the go and war is raging. We, as the bird, will begin our journey through all this mess to find its family and eventually uncovering the bigger role we would play later in the story. 

Gameplay

The gameplay surrounding this game is primarily based on the mobile joystick, of which you will use to move around the level. You can readjust things regarding the control in the setting, which I found helpful. The game uses one of those vector style for its visual and I like it, it kinda reminds me of Shadow Fight or Vector itself from Nekki. To unlock the next level, you are required to watch an advertisement, or you can just pay for an Ad-free version of it. The theme/soundtrack of the game is fine, although it will get monotonous as its going to be played for the entire game. In every level, there will be many obstacles and boy, at lease based on my experience, some of them are just too sensitive. Even one very small mistake could bring you back to the checkpoint. I've lost count of how many times the bird got sniped and boy, it sure got frustrating for me. So a little tips for you all, don't play the game in a bad mood, I don't any of you to be left with a gadget casualty. Oh another thing is this game would make your phone buzz/vibrate as if there's no tomorrow, its a respond when the bird is getting near a threat (nuclear waste). But thankfully, this can also be fixed in the settings.

Overall Thought

This game took me almost a week to finish, although some of its levels are frustrating, I ended up taking that time due to my daily busyness. The game really tested my patience, gotta admit that, and I think it was what made the game somewhat unbearable at times to me. Aside from its down, I have to admit that the story it offers and how tense/enjoyable some of its levels are enough to convince me to recommend this game to you. I give this game an 7.8 out of 10. But again, this is merely my judgement, for a better view of it you can just go to the Play Store or Steam to see the game through to the end and form your own thought about it. 

Alright, that's all there is for now and thanks for reading and stopping by! See you on my next post!

Samsara Room Game Review! Another Fine Puzzle!

So I'm back again with another post, sorry for the long break! I had been running into some troubles lately and it took me quite some time to get back into blogging. Today I'm bringing you another game review, the title is Samsara Room! Samsara Room is a game developed by the Rusty Lake, the same company that developed the Rusty Lake and The cube Escape game series! The game was recently released to the wild a few weeks ago, specifically April 29th, 2020, which is a remake of its previous version. This game was released to celebrate Rusty Lake's fifth anniversary! (Way to go guys!!!) With that settled, now let's move on to the game! Storyline So from what I read, the game is set after Rusty Lake: Roots and it follows up the event of William's rebirth. Truth be told, I don't fully understand the full story of the Rusty Lake series, as I haven't played them all. Unlike the Cube Escape series which I have played in sequence. The first thing you notice in...

Re-coloring the grey spaces: A "Lilac and Her Light" Game Review

Howdy folks! How is it all going? Hopefully good. So I recently managed to set aside some time to complete a game (as if I never have time for it XD), and write a review of it. This time, its going to be a brief review of a game I finished in less than an hour. This is a review of Lilac and Her Light! Lilac and Her Light is a game developed by Npckc and was released back in October 2018. Its a story based pixelated game(one of my favorite types!) or you can say that its an RPG/Role playing games. You can download it through the Play Store or the developer's website (I'll drop the link below later). The game is pretty small, only around 16 Mb, meaning its practically accessible with phones nowadays.  The Story At the start, we will find ourselves playing as a girl, named Lilac, who lives in an extraordinary grey house, in which every house hold items and Lilac herself are also grey. We soon learn that she has an odd condition where everything that made contact with her would los...

Howdy, folks! It's me again, the author of this lonely blog. these past weeks have been filled with semester breaks, something that I truly enjoy after all the hustle in the 2nd semester. In that break, I have played many games, some of which I'll review and bring here. Now, let's get into one of them, the menu for today will be a review of Death Palette. Enjoy! Death Palette is a puzzle & story based game with horror elements to it. The game was developed by Sleeping museum, an indie developer based in Japan, and was made available in google Play Store in February 2020. The game has been around for some time but it was only starting to get attention after its latest update, one that brought an English translation to it. Hence, allowing more people to experience the game. The game weighs around 50 MB, quite light in my opinion. With its introduction out of the way, let's dive into its parts! The Story The game tells a story of a beginner painter, who was given an un...
