Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in offering a quick recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to grasp the ideas and gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A to Z.
The subject of this installment: the pinball tables available in the recent release Pinball M, developed and published by Zen Studios.
HIGH New challenge modes.
LOW Repetitive sound bites.
WTF Pinball blood trails.
HIGH The buzzsaw flying saucer.
LOW Little reason to play more than a couple times.
WTF Why did this alien have to come to Earth to get high?
HIGH A well-executed mirror mechanism.
LOW The final boss is a lesson in patience.
WTF Certain disturbing story flashbacks.
HIGH Traversing the expansive, animated world.
LOW A couple of cutscenes are too long.
WTF Water stages that control just as well as the rest of the game!?
HIGH Stages one, two, three, and five.
LOW The fourth stage.
WTF Locking an advertised feature behind a secret location!?
We’ve recently seen a sharp increase in requests to preview games, and one that caught my eye was the puzzle platformer, Ugly. While the name didn’t pique interest, the cartoon style and its mechanics intrigued me. The demo is short and sweet, but shows promise.
