Synopsis:
A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence.
The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who's currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep.


Gameplay:
When I first started the game, you are greeted from a screen saying Start & Quit. When clicking start you take control of a fly, you are given no instructions or anything like that, which was a bit weird and may be confusing for some. I started using the WASD keys to see what happened; The W key flew me up slowly as of the A and D keys guided me left and right and using the S key slowly drifted me down. As I started flying higher and higher the fly became smaller and smaller, the game was fascinating, just controlling a fly actually makes you realize about the little things in life; the higher you fly the more simple things become a danger, I got stuck into a web and the music suddenly changed dramatically, I broke free of the web and was confused, the game features gusts of wind blowing the fly away and leafs falling from the sky that can land on you and slow your path towards the heavens. I'm not going to give spoilers what happened next, just please play the game and experience it yourself, because the game feels unique and I have never played a game like it, I feel that the indie developers have achieved what they wanted, the game definitely makes you think about the little things in life. The sound track in the game was amazing and just added into the depths of the gameplay and it made me zone out. The game has very beautiful slow music that is relaxing and calming but when you get stuck in a web or a trap the music changes into a orchestra type sound you hear on movies.
The game can be completed within 6 minutes, and is free to play I recommend you give it a try, I mean it's free it can't hurt to try.


Graphics:
The graphics in this game was really unique and nice, the foreground objects and background objects were faded and when something was close it wasn't, the graphics in this game were very interesting, it had a strange and nice feeling to it, and the game produced some very nice scenes like when you fly into space and you see the starts and nebula's, it's really beautiful, the game gives a trail behind the fly, and the wind was portrayed nicely, if you play the game you can actually experience the graphics because it is very hard to explain the uniqueness of the graphics, I also had no problems with framerates, and the whole game felt solid, I didn't notice any graphical bugs or frame drops, and the textures and models were nice, the game has to be played it is really unique and strange, it's different to anything I have ever played before. The only downside was the graphics didn't have any options to change them or anything like that, but the game is very easy to run and could probably be run on a 90's computer considering the OS. With all that aside the graphics were unique, strange and different and gave an overwhelming feel to it.

Controls:

he controls in this game are very simple, but also weird; the game does not give you any tutorials, or instructions on to play the game which may confuse some, there is no custom button mapping, which can be a downside to the game, other than that the game is very simple and can be played with one hand, all you need is the WASD keys which I will tell you what they do now:
W = Fly up into the skys.
A = Fly left
S = Fly lower
D = Fly right.
So the controls are pretty easy to get used to and can be used by any age, so this game is suitable for anyone you don't have to be amazing on the mouse and keyboard to play this game.

Ratings:
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Controls: 10/10
Uniqueness: 10/10
Overall: 9.5/10

Gameplay:
Mafia II has some of the best gameplay aspects in a sandbox game, and is by far one of my favourite games. The game features classical cars, weapons, music and a various of other things from the 1940's - 1950's era. The game has a variety of cool features, like feeling your car up with gas, opening and closing windows, robbing stores, modifying your vehicles, stealing cars, lock picking locks, climb through windows and various other things like that nature. Mafia II mainly focuses on the story driven gameplay rather that petty side missions that distract you from the story (like grand theft auto.) so people that love a good story I strongly recommend picking this game up. I love mafia games and mafia films, and this was just perfect and I am hoping they release another one. If you get bored within game you can collect some Playboy posters (which actually show nudity, I think their are 50 of them.) you can also collect wanted posters and other collectable items to keep you interested, I managed to collect and play as it was fun anyway and I did not get bored. I have played the game both on consoles and PC and love them on both, obviously I had a better time on pc since the higher frame rates and better graphics but it was still an awesome experience on console.


Graphics:
Mafia II; now this game just has overwhelming graphical aspects and visuals(especially for the time the game was released.) The game features awesome dynamic lighting, 3D Rendered models and high resolution textures. When playing the game my breath was taken away with the graphics. It included amazing reflections, no frame drops and feels like a solid build. I can't really explain the graphics other than they are some of the best visuals I have seen in a sandbox game; I'll prove that later on when I post some screen shots. The game runs of the Illusion Engine with PhysX, even though I have an AMD graphics card the game still did it's job and created an amazing experience. The game also uses real time cutscenes which are created by the Illusion Engine so they are not pre-rendered cutscenes, so if you have a half broken car, it will show that in the cutscene which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Some scenes are pre rendered such as the hotel explosion.

Ratings:
Gameplay: 10/10
Graphics: 9/10
Controls: 10/10
Plot: 9/10
Overall: 10/10

Conclusion:
Mafia 2 is one of the best game I have ever played; it's definitely worth buying and I would advise you buy it on pc, if you have a good enough pc that is... but console still gives an amazing experience nonetheless.
