DYLUCK'S PROFILE

Cool take on the winter theme. I wasn't expecting someone to do a modern shooter type game!

I was liking this game, and how it rewards exploration and searching, until I got to the second board. At the boss, everyone is repeatedly hit by stun, poison, mass silence, mass confusion, time after time again.

I had a weird bug the first time I opened the save screen, where possibly after scrolling back and forth between save 1 and 9, the screen went permanently dark. I managed to save by sound alone, and then F12 to exit, but I couldn't reproduce this bug after that.

Also, you start the game able to save anywhere, but you lose this upon touching and leaving a save point.

lol... too early, the valley girl's not here yet!

not more people who cut others' games into pieces and dissect them in order to pull them down just because they can, revelling in all the things they personally think are wrong with the game without giving consideration to others feelings.

Personally, I enjoy dissecting games and analyzing their mechanics. I dig as deep as possible to isolate the elements I like or dislike and explain why I like or dislike them. When people review my games, I carefully read the reasons why they like and dislike the various elements of the game. The why is what matters the most to me.

Is there something wrong with this dissection approach?

It's only a problem when some people tend to dissect and cut out only a part of the game that's bad, and narrowly focus on that, instead of looking at the overall game as a whole. Ironically, you also dissected that quote from the complete sentence above, which put it a bit out of context. =P

Some reviewers just write bad reviews like they're trying to put on a whitty spectacle. Some focus a lot on a single part or aspect that they didn't like or felt frustrated with, or just like to nitpick on everything that's slightly wrong, without talking about what's right. It's natural because people like to talk about their own experiences, and the negative ones tend to stand out. But personally, I think it's important as a reviewer to balance out your own experiences with other things, such as looking at the overall game as a whole, providing useful info for readers to decide if the game is right for them, and taking the creator's feelings into account.
