Streets of Rogue is fun as hell!

The play is fast, balanced and challenging. The characters are unique, they don't feel like copies of each other and each one of them is an enjoyable challenge.

A Story About My Uncle is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I sat down with it to see if it would be a good game to stream and I just couldn't put it down. The platforming is at times finicky, and frustrating, but it never feels impossible. The mechanics are inventive, and the levels are well designed, giving you multiple ways to complete.

The story is solid if short, I would love to see the world more flushed out. The characters grow on the player, as this coming of age story becomes more and more relatable as it becomes more fantastical. The feeling of loss at the end of the game, of all that progress the charcater made, and to lose the person he loved most, it speaks to the feelings of futility and loss that I have had. The final scene, closing the circle of the game, speaks to my own hope. To feelings of missing loved ones, and feelings of what's to come. The dialoge the character has in closing is too similar to ones that I've had.

This game does what many games try and fail, it sends the player through emotions, makes them experience what the player is experiencing. And it does so by avoiding dressing up the story as something it's not, there doesn't have to be the expected happy ending. The ending doesn't have to be the end.

All and all, this game is worth every penny. 9/10

Easily one of the best RTS games on steam. A real classic that can play on a lot of lower end modern computers!
