Review #1 :D

Game: -!Radiation!-

Game maker: Ppphantasm

Genre: Action

Game creator used: Shooter

Objective: Escort the convoy & Capture the crystal.

Pre Game play: "Ppphantasm". The name is catchy, and so are his games. Almost all of his current published games have been featured, and so it's rather apparent that he's talented and he want's to make a good game, so I had high hopes for this. Was I let down? Sadly, just looking at the thumbnail made me fell sceptical that this game wasn't what I hoped it would be.

Game Play- Starting off, you can see Ppphantasm has made the the landscape seem like that of a terrain. The game is of intermediate difficulty, which to translate is extremely difficult for my standards. A few of the puzzles incorporated were nice, others just plain irritating. So in general, after the first 5 minutes I was in the balance with my opinion on this game. Some parts required skill [Not my strength] and other parts required brain [My Strength]. So it was a nice test for me to work on my weaknesses, and making the most of my strengths. But as I approached what I think to be the halfway point, I was overwhelmed my the sheer difficulty of the game, much to my dismay.

Post Game Play- I thought to myself if that game was good, and thought: "Yes". I thought to myself if the game was feature-worthy, and thought: "No". This was one of those good games, but had minor factors which annoys the gamer, and for me personally I was just frustrated with my inability to finish the game. But in general, this game was worth playing, and I do look forward to playing any future games you will make.

Ratings [>:D]

I think of myself as a lenient game rater, but consequently think the end rating should be relatively high if the the game is good.

Design: 19/25: The colour fitted in well with the feel of the game, and I thought that gave me a completely different view of the game. However, I think it felt a little sloppy near the end.

Placement: 17/25: Clever but not original. Thus, not actually so clever, heh, but I can't criticise the placement as such: I just think you can place the game better than as it currently is.

Puzzle: 14/25: There wasn't really a significant puzzle, but the difficulty made up for it in a way. Not sure if you meant that to happen, XD.

Fun: 15/25: At the end of the day, fun is what makes us play games, so I value this section the most: The game was intuitive, but not exactly what I found to be fun. Fun is what you make of it, so I can't tell you how to make a game "Fun", as everyone has different ideas, but I couldn't enjoy this game as much as other games.

Total score: 65/100 (65%)

So, this game wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. All I can cut down to in terms of how good the game is, is: Good, but I think you can to better.

Thank you for reading, or should I say, skipping the whole review and just reading this.
