Another Dread X Collection, although... I don't know. This one had fewer games than ever. Still, not a bad time overall. Hub World - I'm really not very fond of the hub world this time around, despite it being the largest yet. There was a ton of backtracking between areas, and the code system for each completed game was somewhat annoying and made less sense than usual. I get it's a new character, and she's cool and capable and taking care of herself, but come on, I just want to get the tie in to the next game without needing to spend ten minutes between each code trying to retrieve a sample by collecting five things to get me where I need to go. The Fruit - My favorite of the group, fun and weird and somewhat creepy too. Good mix of shooter and horror. It was a little drawn out with all the backtracking across the main field, but at least it didn't take long to get anywhere. Axis Mundi - A neat idea with good execution, and actually a little creepier than The Fruit was to me because the ghosts could surprise you at times. Didn't quite take first though because the camera aim/recharge was more annoying than hitting farmers with axes like in the previous game. The House of Unrest - Reminds me a little of a haunted Resident Evil, very basic PSX days. Still, I had fun, and I enjoyed the climactic showdown at the end of the game. Again, bit annoying to backtrack all around the house for each puzzle, but it's not a lot to travel. Felt a little more one-dimensional than the previous two. Uktena 64 - This one was... okay. I liked the homage to the N64, and some of the enemy designs were cool. I found the final boss to be baffling in its difficulty, so I grabbed a "Cheat Code" for that one. Yeah, yeah, I know. It loses points for having an annoying final boss. Seraphixial - Ugh. This game is the first of three to feel like a chore to play. Barebones graphics, annoying jumpscares, and a nonsensical plot. I was glad to finish this one. Black Relic - Even more boring and annoying than the previous one, with the added bonus of slow animations, dubious aiming mechanics, and extremely limited health and ammo that require you to go back to ammo crates and hold down a button to heal. This stupid monk is somehow the most farsighted individual in history, because if an enemy is five feet or closer to you then you will never hit them. You need to turn and run until you can squeak out that extra distance. Conversely, I saw him hit stuff thirty feet away that I could barely even see the silhouette of no problem. Rose of Meat - This may be one of the worst Dread X Collection games I have ever seen, heard, or played. It's like the developer spent his 7-10 day work period swallowing every illicit substance he could and then sat at a keyboard. The graphics are ugly, minimalist, and every single character I saw made me wish the handgun in the game worked on living things. Not only that, even with ugly red shoes constantly pointing you in the next direction of "plot", it is so very easy to get lost in the random hills and enemies that randomly turn into things like houses as they run after you. I don't really know what the game was looking to accomplish, but if their goal was to make one of the most stupid and annoying wastes of time I have ever experienced, they did it with aplomb.

Least favorite Launcher. Nice games overall, none felt too painful. All of them being shooters definitely made the gameplay more standard all around. Favorite: Hard choice but Seraphixial had enjoyable gameplay and it made me laugh a bit

Pretty good collection of indie games that deserve attention. I really liked the "The Thing" themed launcher world, but the main character's monologue and story drags it way down

Pretty good. The quality of games vary greatly in gameplay, visuals, and dialogue. Collection of 7 games set within a launcher(which is also a game with it's own story). You finish the games in the launcher in order to solve the mystery thereof. The ark 2 launcher game is a well written story, sometimes the voice acting feels like it lacks the emotional depth of the scene, but it's well written nonetheless. Gameplay revolves around inputting codes and retrieving samples. The ending sequence is pretty well done, and can be intense. I would rank the 'sub' games as follows. 1. Fruit (8/10) Genuinely a good game. The rifle is kinda worthless other than opening locks, but it gives room for some skill expression in the axe fighting department. Solve the mystery of Ravenholm and find your lover. 2. House of Unrest (7.5/10) Also good. You play a pistol wielding priest who needs to do an exorcism. 3. Seraphixial (7/10) Not sure how to describe this game, but it was fun. You get many guns, and kill many things. 4. Axis Mundi (7/10) Hunting ghosts with a camera is pretty fun. Also decently written lore behind each ghost that you hunt. 5. Uktena 64 (6/10) Cryptid hunting in a nutshell. The "CDC"(centre disease center) tasks you with killing and photographing infected animals. 6. Black Relic (5/10) This game made my eyes sore, but the gameplay was decent. Really bad ending imo . Combat monk for the win. 7. Rose of Meat (1/10) Is this what an acid trip feels like? Nothing makes sense in this game.

So far on my journey through each of these in order I'm surprised to say I think this is my least favourite. As an overall experience, I appreciate them going for "quality over quantity" here with seven more elaborate and lengthy games but the overarching problem is with one or two exceptions even the games I really enjoyed in here overstay their welcome imho. Sometimes that;s because mechanically the game is clunky and slow (black relic) sometimes its because the levels are just super large so you;re running across emptiness a lot (most of them tbh) and in the worst case it's because the design is tedious and fetch quest heavy with lots of going to a to get to b to go back to a to get to c, etc. Probably the most disappointing aspect though was the wrapper this time around. I had high hopes for the very Thing inspired setting but it just completely falls flat and is wasted. The map is way too big and empty, and there's really nothing to progression aside the very end when there's one sort of puzzle you have to solve under pressure. You just go to a room, pick up a thing that lets you go in another room, maybe creepy music or a sound effect plays, but nothing actually happens until the end. But tbh that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for how obnoxious and terrible the writing and character is, I really don't get the tone the author was going for here or what I'm supposed to feel for them or anyone in the story and why I should even care. The character you play as just spends the entire game reacting with practicelly zero shock and alarm to seeing horrific sights, and even just cracks cringey jokes instead. The recordings make this seem like its supposed to be about resolving a family conflict but while thats happening the recordings also just mention in passing with zero gravitas that oh oops we unleashed some deadly creature that could destroy life? It feels like they had this idea to make it more serious, immersive and gritty, but then basically gave up when that got hard and instead made it a troll. Like LOL it's spooky here but hey we like to have fun in the hunt too! It's not that it had to take itself seriously, I loved the wrapper and back and forth in collection 3, but that was tonally consistent and felt thought through, this just feels like they phoned it in. So you're probably wondering why I still recommend it, well that's because (on sale at least) I still think it's a neat experience worth having to play through all these games and see what they have to offer, even if they aren't perfect. And a couple of them are great despite the whole overstaying their welcome thing. All in all, the least fun I had with these collections on a whole - even though in some ways its the most polished and I really dug some of the game, because it just felt stretched too thin. Though to be fair I should say that kinda goes the other way to, in that there are no real duds here, so there's that? So here's my rundown: Great: Axis Mundi The Fruit Neat: The House of Unrest Black Relic Uktena 64 Not bad, but not for me: Seraphixial Rose of Meat One more to go! Let's hope they turn it around.
