Urban Empire: First Impression Review

I got the game, Urban Empire, as a Christmas present from bookahnerk. It released on January 20, so there was quite some aniticipation built up there. I had watched a few streams about the game and read a few articles from gaming websites (and a German gaming magazine), but I didn't read too much about …

Otherland MMO – First Impressions

Bookahnerk had told me about Otherland long before the MMO was in the news as Otherland is one of his favourite books and Tad Williams is one of his favourite authors! This is the main reason this game even caught my attention. We had both watched the gamescom trailer and really liked what we saw …

Atlas Reactor: First Impressions Review

Atlas Reactor is currently in alpha and they are currently holding their "alpha sneak peek" event until February 24. Since there is no NDA for this event, I can write about my impressions. Hurrah! Just in case you missed it, I will repeat myself here: This game is in alpha! A lot is subject to …

Sunken – First Impressions Review

In general, I really despise permadeath in games and stay away from games where I am forced to play with this feature. With my playtime being limited due to my job and other stuff I also want to do in my free time, it just seems so frustrating having to start all over again because …

First Impressions Review: Gremlins Inc.

(Update: They have added the "save last session" feature with their update on January 22, 2016) Steam's Winter Sale just finished and throughout it, you could gain Steam trading cards for looking at the "Explore" queue of the store. I like getting those cards to sell them. Hey, even a couple of cents are nice …

Valhalla Hills: First impressions

I've previously written about Valhalla Hills and my impressions from the outside, but now you can get an impression piece from me from the inside! I was the lucky winner of the grand prize of Blaugust and received a Steam game that I could choose. While I have lots of games on my wishlist, only …

Project Gorgon: First impression – Blaugust Day 4

I have seen the name "Project Gorgon" quite often before, but never actually read what it was about. But after reading Syp's impressions, I figured it's time to try it out myself. They have started their Kickstarter campaign, but you can actually try out the game for free. I like this a lot, because it …

Post-launch Impressions: Is Trove a good game?

Trove launched last Thursday and a lot of people are curious whether this game is any good. I will try to give you an impression of the game, but will try to keep it short(ish). There is a quite simple reason for this: This is the 4th time that I'm writing down my impressions of …

Trove: Open Beta Impressions Review

Update (July 18, 2015): This post is outdated! Go here for a newer blog post. Trove is the first game that I have been following this closely since alpha. And so it's probably not a big surprise that it did not only get a "First Impressions Review" (in alpha), but a Second Impressions Review (in …

Trove: Second Impressions Review

Update (July 12, 2015): This post is outdated! Go here to read the latest impressions piece about Trove! Back in alpha, I already wrote about my first impressions. Now that Trove is in beta, I figured I should do another impressions piece. As always, I rather call it "impressions review" than "alpha review" or "beta …
