I can confirm, puzzles are available!

Quite enjoyable jigsaw puzzle game with christmas motives. I dont know about the music cuz i turned it off straight away.

There are 25 puzzles with 60-350 pieces which are floating around and you have to rotate them.
I think there was an option without rotation, tho i didnt try it.

I would say they are easy or at least not too hard... but one... the cookies!!! So thats really the final boss.
All achievements worked well and everything worked as it should be.

My all time fav platformer from PS1 days <3

This is the first Sokpop game i have played and it was quite mediocre.
I will leave thumbs up, but it was for me on the edge. Would rate it 5,5/10.

There is an adventure mode and you can unlock an endless mode after beating adventure mode with 3 different characters, which you can unlock for gems you will collect while playing.
There are in total 5 different balls/characters which all have different abilities.
Unfortunately there is no story....


You are starting at the bottom of a vulcano and have to make your way up, floor by floor, through three biomes, chased by rising lava, to reach the top of the vulcano to escape, except you are playing the endless mode, then you can play theoretically as long as you can survive.
Every run will be different, cuz level are randomly generated and offer replayability.

The problem is that those randomly generated level are really unbalanced. Sometimes it will be like a walk in the park, or it could be just impossible to beat.
Once i had a bug which didnt allow me to go up to the next floor and also had few times someting like an infinite loop, cuz of some obstacles, which also didnt allow me to continue and it was really frustartating, especially that the lava is chasing you constantly and if you are captivated in those kind of loops, even if not infinite, the lava will end your game quite quickly anyway.

Achievements work fine and its easy to 100%.
It will probably take around 2h, depending on your pinball skills and also luck not to encounter too many bugs.

Overall i think i wouldnt recommend it for the majority, but if you are a Sokpop fan or looking for a small indie flipper game and also not too frustrated if bugs will end your run, you can give it a try.

Its a card-battler where each type of card has their own ability and your goal is to score more points than your opponent.
The rules are quite simple and well introduced step by step ingame.
There are like small tournements with mostly 2-4 opponents and you are getting points depending on your score.
You can reach up to 3 stars in each one which is only "important" if you wanna go for the achivemenets, but you have to beat each opponent to unluck the next one.

After winning some matches/tournements you will raise your level and earn some passive abilities which you can choose before starting a duel, which is pretty cool.
This way you can create some strategies or counter your opponents abilities which you will see before the match starts.
Of course there is also a RNG-factor , so even your best strategy might not work if you run out of luck, but i think thats the case in most card games.

For me it was after a while a bit too repetetive, but i still think its a good game for 'in between' as one match only lasts 5min or so.
All achievements worked fine, but if you wanna go for 100% you need in 50 of 60 tournements a 3-star rating so that might take a while, depending how good and lucky you have been.

Overall its a nice simple card game so thumbs up.

Nothing wrong about this game. Its a small match-3 game with numbers included. Nothing special, but for this price its fine and quite enjoyable for a while. Achievements work all well. if you like this kind of games you can give it a try.

Its an enjoyable casual time/ressources management game.
i played only few this kind of games before, but this one seems to me a bit more 'complex' than the other ones i have played.
Apart from gathering ressources like gold/food/wood/gems you have to use 'weather' like sun/wind/rain to defeat some enemies or to 'refill' your mines/fields with ressources.
Also there are artefacts you will find thru your journey, which will help you to beat the next levels with some bonuses.
(There are 18 different artefacts in total and you can choose 3 of them at the start of each lvl)
Like always there is some kind of a cheesy story you can easily ignore and around ~90 lvl which are not too hard/ not too easy to beat to reach the gold award, tho i had to replay some of them.

All of the 120 steam achievements works fine. You will get like 90% of them until you beat the game and for few ones you will have to replay few levels, but it wasnt to much effort actually.

Overall nothing special, just a relaxing casual game for in between which i enjoy from time to time.

Im not a fan of the Si-Fi genre, but i really like puzzle games so i thought i will give it a try.
I didnt have any expectations when i started The Turing Test and didnt have a clue what it is about, but pretty quickly i was enthralled by the story and liked the puzzle design a lot!

Playing as Ava Turing (space engineer) you are sent to a spacestation "europa" and your goal is to make it thru a lot of sectors with different puzzles to find your missing crew, guided by a AI named TOM.

The puzzles are well designed and increase in difficulty step by step and all new mechanics are well introduced.
You are playing thru 7 chapters with several sectors in each one + there is one bonus level in every chapter.
The puzzles are not too easy, not too hard and i really enjoyed to solve them, but surprisingly for me i liked the story even more! Also the music during the game is enjoyable and the voice acting is great!

I spent some time to translate a lot of stuff while reading diaries/documents etc + the game was running at the background for probably ~3h so i cant tell actually how long my playtime was, but for sure at least 4-5h less than 12h.

Achievements are really easy to 100% in a single playthru, except one which you can quickly get after you have finished the game, cuz you can choose each chapter and even each sector to replay.

Overall it was a great experience, thumbs up!

Darkarta will get a thumbs up from me.
Seems like its the first game from this dev and i think for his first project this HOG game is quite good and deserves a postive review, tho not everything was perfect.

The story takes place in a kind of mythological realm and is about a mother searching for her little daughter who was kidnapped and our job is to find and rescue her.

Overall i liked the story and also the ending was quite good.
Music and voice acting was ok for me, tho i didnt like the one from the child, which was a bit annoying.
There is a dairy where you can read about all the stuff which happend during your journey which i liked and there is also a description for all chars you have met.
After finishing the game a bonus chapter unlocks which is short, but also enjoyable.
Also pretty cool compared to some other HOG games i have played is that you can use fast travel instead of endless backtracking.

I really liked the variety of the puzzles. There are less classic hidden object scenes than i have encoutered in other HOG titles, but still enough in my opinion. Instead there are a lot of different puzzles to solve.
It could be maybe a little bit more difficult, but i was satisfied overall.

On the other hand there are also some issues which were quite annoying, for example it was hard to read the decription of a puzzle. cuz it was 'blocked' in most cases by the info that 'you dont have any items in your inventory'
Also during puzzles some objects you wanted to click on were just at the edge of the scene and cuz of this i left puzzles by accident few times.

The game crashed for me 2 times. Once at the end of a cutscene and the other time while clicking on my collectibles. Luckily i didnt lose any progress cuz of this and just had to reopen the game and was able to continue from where i was before the crash.

I wouldnt recommend to play in german language if its ok for you to play in english, cuz the german translation is not the best. Its still possible to understand everything and most important - while playing the hidden object puzzles all names of the objects are correct.
It was only kind of annoying while reading letters, diaries etc.

I didnt get all the achievements yet (need 3 more) but seems like they working fine.
Its also nice that if you wanna go for 100% in a 2nd playthrough its possible to skip the movies/cutscenes and also the dialogues.

In my opinion its not a perfect, but still quite good HOG game which i enjoyed to play and i think those who like these kind of games will enjoy it as well!

Short, clever and easy little puzzle game which i enjoyed. It takes around 20-30min to finish this game but if you want to get the achievement it will take some time to figure out where the secrets are hidden.
You are starting without any abilities so you are able only to walk until you will find the perk for jumping... for shooting and so on.
The game doenst save your progress so you have to finish it in one go, but once you have finished it you can return to the game and search around for the secrets with all abilities unlocked.
