“I’m sure there is a niche market for a game like this. But for me, a game about controlling a company that makes games doesn’t appeal overly.”

“I take no joy in slating a game. Particularly when it’s from a smaller developer who has likely spent a large percentage of the budget into the game. But I cannot emphasise any more how poor an effort this is. Across the board. Do not waste your money on this title.”

“If you’re looking for a new survival game with a heavy reliance on resource gathering and crafting then this could be a good consideration for you. If like me you want a fun Viking game, and don’t get on with those previously mentioned things, then it’s best to avoid this.”

“To summarise – I did not enjoy my time with The Forbidden Arts. It feels to me like a game that could do with an extra 6 months in development to iron out some of my niggling issues. Though, that still might not help the uninspiring narrative.”

“I really wanted to come away from Sagebrush having found a new little gem in the indie game scene. Instead I found a very short, predictable story, that I barely engaged with.”

“I would fully recommend Bear with Me: The Complete Collection to anyone looking for a narrative driven story game. Even if they wouldn’t normally be drawn to a point and click adventure, I honestly believe the story itself is strong enough to carry the game beyond its mechanics.”
