INVEN's Reviews

Jul 11, 2024

While the game functions well enough thanks to its proven system and solid foundation, it still shows some shortcomings in various aspects. These can be understandable considering it is still in pre-season, but the game needs to demonstrate something significant in the next update to prove its long-term service potential.

7 / 10.0 - Indika
May 29, 2024

While it presents the rather universal theme of religious dilemmas, 'Indika' showcases refined direction through its unique techniques and game-specific features. Although the game isn't packed with playable content, the developer's intention to provoke thought is successfully achieved.

10 / 10.0 - Animal Well
May 22, 2024

The game might initially seem like a combat-free Metroidvania or an extension of indie platformers. However, its deep game design becomes more attractive when played. Where puzzles stimulate curiosity, the curiosity initially becomes the key to solving it. While the game's graphics also act as a hint, and the sound effects blend seamlessly into the gameplay.

The game's high level of immersion makes you want to play it from start to finish in one sitting. With outstanding audiovisual presentation and effects, it gives the feeling that you're playing a movie, not watching it. However, the gameplay elements, such as combat and puzzles, still lack significant meaning, which leads to rather disappoint feelings.

8.8 / 10.0 - Hades II
May 14, 2024

The different combat tempo from its predecessor may be divisive, but 'Hades II' already boasts an impressive volume of content that makes it hard to believe it's still in early access. The storytelling, which seamlessly integrates repetitive gameplay, is also top-notch. There is much anticipation for how much more it will impress upon its full release.

A tactical puzzle shooter imbued with the aesthetics of destruction. While It presents a new form of shooting accompanied by intense artwork, it's somewhat disappointing that the overall gameplay only lasts 3–4 hours. Apart from the leaderboard system, there's a need for additional incentives to engage players in repetitive gameplay.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rise of the Ronin
Apr 3, 2024

A refined Team Ninja's action met an open-world experience. While the story unfolds like a grand drama of Japanese history, the limited impact of player choices is a drawback. The inclusion of sensitive real-life figures and the system for building rapport with them may justify the cancellation of the official release in Korea.

A lack of horror behind the captivating puzzle adventure. While exploring the Derceto Manor is consistently enjoyable, it is really hard to catch the sense of fear which is crucial to a horror game. Still, it might serve as a nostalgic journey for those who remeber the original.

Matured action and an expanded gameplay experience characterize Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It can easily be considered a sequel that surpasses its predecessor.
