Dream Endgame Review

So, it is time for yet another game I have played to come to an end. This one is Dream. We had some great times with Dream, like that time I thought you could choose a drink at the bar in the resort... Good times. Dream was a great game, and I know that there are some things I have missed, which I may go back to just to get. The gameplay was great, I enjoyed it, and it was very cool to see what kinds of things could be done here.

Dream is a puzzle game for sure. I couldn't figure some of said puzzles out very well, but nevertheless, it was fun. Some of the events that take place in this game are confusing to say the least. Like in the room of stairs.

That place? Well, let me tell you about it. You start off in the room. Yes, THE room, not A room. You are so greeted with many stairways and other doors. You go up one stairwell, through the door at the end of the path, and you end up in the same room, but from a different perspective. It's so trippy! By different perspective, I mean you end up either on the so called 'ceiling' or one of the other 'walls.' Basically, every wall, even the ceiling, is not a wall at all, but a floor. Confused yet? Good!

So anyway, Dream was all about, well, dreams... Duh! One thing I really enjoyed about Dream were the dream journal pages scattered around for you to find. Those were a nice touch! The scenery was beautiful, and there were lots of items that I found. I mean lots. Some of them I have no clue what they even do, or more specifically, what purpose they serve. Some are obvious, like the flashlight.

There are a couple of things about Dream that I did not like very much. They aren't bad enough for me to hate it though. The first is that Howard kept getting stuck on everything! If you watch all my videos, you'll hear me say "Stop getting stuck on things, Howard!" probably about thirty times, if not more. It's actually funny when you think about it, and maybe it added a bit more hilarity to my videos? You be the judge of that.

The second thing was that the story, or back story, where Howard is talking to his uncle, is quite long, and each time you get more of the story, you have to listen to what you previously heard, adding to the length. At least it's like a recap of what happened, but I feel that it is too long. Also, while you listen to Howard and his uncle talk, you only see those infamous black cubes floating around. It would be cool if there was some kind of cinematic, or something, that you can be seeing or watching instead of black cubes for fifteen minutes.

Once again, a very great game that I really enjoyed. Dream was very cool, and I actually hope that more may be added to the game eventually, or maybe even a Dream 2! Possibly? Either way, great game, great job on the developers, I hope you guys continue your hard work! If you would like to see my ending video or Dream, it is down below.

Antichamber Endgame Review

Antichamber was such a great mind-bending experience! It has caused me much stress, frustration and excitement. I loved every minute of my time playing Antichamber, even though some of its puzzles were extremely challenging. I will say that I only looked up three parts because I could not figure it out whatsoever, but I only looked at part of the solution so I could have a starting point and then figured out the rest myself.

The puzzles in Antichamber are fun, extremely rewarding and a great challenge. I absolutely enjoyed playing it, and i think the puzzles are great for making you actually use your brain. A lot of games now don't really allow you to challenge yourself and to grow your brain as much as Antichamber does.

There are still some things within Antichamber that I do not understand and probably never will! I know I have missed a few things as well. I have been to every single room, as far as I know, according to the map, but I have missed one of the posters that has something written on it.

That's another thing, Antichamber has these little posters that have, what I would call, quotes on them. These are used as subtle, and not so subtle, hints and also seem to have a slightly deeper meaning. They aren't just focused on the game itself, but a lot of them can equate to real life. I like that. I love it when a game or a story or a movie etcetera has some part of it that can equate to real life. For me, it makes the experience even better.

All in all, Antichamber was a super great game and awesome experience, I highly recommend playing it, if you haven't already. I will leave my video of the ending down below for you watch if you would like, and If you want to see more videos that I have made, click my name above the video to head over to my channel and don't forget to subscribe while you're there! Just so you know, this video is NOT the last one, there is one more after this where I visit all the rooms that I missed before the ending.

A Story About My Uncle Endgame Review

Well, A Story About My Uncle is now finished. I am now upset with this fact. I loved this game so much, no matter how mad certain parts made me, and believe me, some parts made me pretty angry! Aside from all that, the game was so much fun to play and the story was amazing.

The ending makes me a bit sad in a can't-go-back kind of way. It's also a bit sad that Uncle Fred is now gone for good, as far as we know, and for the narrator/main character because he never gets to see him again. There is also a bit of happiness at the end. Uncle Fred is where he needs to be, with Maddie and her people, and his nephew has his own daughter and is starting on his own adventure with her.

A Story About My Uncle shows you that life is an adventure in itself, and that is very true. Take advantage of the opportunities that you are given and make the most of life so that you don't have any regrets. I also get from this game that you should never forget where you came from or the people that you've known.

I don't really know what else to say except the whole experience playing through A Story About My Uncle was absolutely amazing. I always wish with things like this that I could go back and experience it again the same way I did the first time, but I know that its not possible. Anyway, I am happy that I got to experience this game in the first place.

Thank you Gone North Games for making A Story About My Uncle and I hope that you guys come out with more great games! I've included my final video on A Story About My Uncle below if you would like to watch it.

Submerged Endgame Review

Well, I guess this is goodbye to Submerged. I want to start this off by saying that Submerged was an incredibly beautiful game and a wonderful experience. I absolutely enjoyed the game and recommend it to anyone and everyone. The story was very immersive in my opinion, even though there were no words to tell the story whatsoever. The entire story is shown through pictures and interaction instead of being told by voice. I believe that this is a great way to tell a story. Voice and narration are not bad at all, but sometimes it's a lot like listening to someone tell you the story.

Actually, don't get me wrong, having someone read to you, whether it's a story or not, is a wonderful experience! I don't want to ruin the story of Submerged here for anyone who has not played it themselves. My videos will ruin the story, but that's your choice to watch me or anyone else play it. I will say that the story is kind of sad. Submerged is based heavily around exploration, and you pick up parts of the city's story, and Miku and Taku, as you go along, but there is no pressure on you.

Submerged starts out sad, with Miku's little brother, Taku, being wounded as they come in on a small fishing boat. Each time you collect and bring back supplies for Taku, you get a bit more of the story which tells the how Taku was injured and all the events leading up to where they are now. Even the story of the city, what happened to it and the people that lived there is sad. It is obvious why the game is called Submerged!

This game is exploration based, as I said before, and there is absolutely no combat in it. There are a few different creatures, however. One of which in particular I named 'plant-people' because that is what the pictures looked like to me. These 'plant-people' seem to stalk you as you play. They show up on rooftops as Miku returns to Taku. There are a couple of cutscenes with these guys in them, one in mid-game and one end-game, where they do more than watch.

The 'plant-people' were actually scary at first, then I just wanted to know what they were. Sometimes, as you're exploring a building, they appear out of nowhere and jump off a cliff, dive into the ocean, walk around corners and vanish, or literally vanish in front of your eyes. One of them actually walked into a pile a rubble and turned invisible!

Of the other creatures we meet while exploring in Submerged, there are a few most important in my playthrough. There are dancing birds who are always undulating on the ledges, having their little bird dance parties all the time. There's also Momma whale who mostly stayed by Taku and protected him while Miku went out to get supplies, Daddy whale who was a little shy and doesn't like to say hi or bye and of course, their babies who like to accompany Miku on her boating trips around the city. The last one we meet in the last video, and that is Grandfather whale, the biggest of the bunch and the one responsible for those creepy noises I was hearing at the top of the crane.

In my last video, I of course have to say goodbye to the whale family, which is honestly a little hard. It's a bit silly, I know, it's just a game, but when the story is as immersive as Submerged is and you meet all these guys and give them names and stuff, it becomes a little sad.

The ending of Submerged was very surprising. I was expecting one thing to happen, aside from Taku being healed of course, and the game did something completely different and totally unexpected. That is what makes a great ending, when you expect one thing and receive another. It definitely adds to the immersion and attachment to the story. All in all, I have to say that Submerged was such a great experience and I am so very glad that I played this game. It's going to be a bit of a nostalgic thing now, with the whale family, and you can see them all right here. A big family photo-op to remember the whale family forever.
