I finished one of the games I recently bought, earlier today: Shadowgrounds. Judging from the screenshots and reviews, you’d might just think it could be a tinsy-winsy bit of fun? Well it is not. What a huge letdown, the voice acting is horrible, and the animation of the characters looks like it has been copied from one of the Monty Python silly walks skits. For the first level or two it is somewhat entertaining, but that feeling quickly fades as you progress through the levels. Also, there’s actually no way to save whenever you want, in order to have your progress remembered by the game you have to finish a level. That could take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. So if you get disturbed, need to do something else or the game crashes… well tough luck, you’ll just have to start over again.
