“As it currently stands, Bladesong is a truly brilliant game, with a huge amount of painstaking effort put into its development. The story is novel-worthy, the artwork is breathtaking, and the sword-making mechanics are innovative and enjoyable to use. While it isn’t perfect and could use some polishing in places, the game has incredible potential, and I’m excited to see what it becomes. If you have an interest in fantasy, history, weaponry, or even just enjoy a good book, I cannot recommend Bladesong enough.”

“That’s the core success of Look Mum No Computer. It’s got a story to tell through sound and concept, and it does it well and succinctly. I love twinsticks, and this one scratched an itch in due time without dragging it out. As someone who grew up messing around with FruityLoops, this kind of crunchy soundtrack that also has modular aspects was a treat, and discovering a musician, especially one so passionate about his craft, was a delight.”

“"A deeply human and moving narrative" Perfect Tides: Station to Station offers a narrative adventure experience focused on college life and creative ambition, presented in a deeply personal and moving way. The strong writing, innovative mechanics, and polished art design make it a successful sequel and a title in its own right. Despite its relatively slow pace and limited world, the depth of the emotional experience and interactive choices make the game a valuable addition for fans of interactive storytelling.”

“The tactics gameplay is genuinely a lot of fun, with exciting abilities and environmental hazards that provide several options to dispatch challenging foes. However, it never justifies its roguelike structure, with dull upgrades, limited variety, and slow metaprogression holding it back. Thankfully, there is a solid foundation, and developer Unfinished Pixel can use this Early Access period to flesh things out, but I can’t recommend Blightstone in its current state.”

I can easily see it being useful for a wide range of people, including students, freelancers, writers, and artists. As for me, I’ll definitely be tempted to use it again for both work and personal tasks. If you try it yourself, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did it help smooth out your work sessions?”
