The overworld has an insanely good atmosphere. The games were, as for all of these collections pretty mixed. It doesnt have as many games as the others but I'd say theres no actual totally bad ones in this one. It having less games made getting all the achievements pretty easy as well.

Honestly despite the rather small library of games in this one, it was still a rather enjoyable experience with about 1/2 the library being worth the investment. Definitely pick this one up on sale.

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.

Dread X 4 seems kind of like an outlier compared to the other Dread X games in the collection. Its the shortest in terms of games, second shortest in terms of time till completion, and unlike the other entries, there wasn't a single bad game. Despite that, there wasn't any games that specifically stood out to me like in 2 and 3, but that doesn't mean the games weren't very good, they were all enjoyable, and this game definitely had the best overworld out of all of them In the end, this would definetly be the best game to buy if you're just looking to play one game in the collection

Overall a solid collection though of highly varying quality. Uktena 64 - 8/10 Another solid small game from Kira! I only wish that there was more as well as more nuances to the camera mechanics to be even more like it's inspiration: Pokemon Snap Axis Mundi - 6/10 Good atmosphere though the combat is a bit annoying and repetitive. The mystery aspect was much more interesting. Another game where it felt like there might have been a more full game originally intended but it was kept smaller. Not that I think a longer game would have necessarily improved the experience. Black Relic - 9/10 My favorite in the collection! Incredible aesthetics and decent gameplay. My only complaint is that the combat is a bit repetitive by the end but mostly does a good job at pacing the ramp up of combat mechanics and enemies. Rose of Meat - 5/10 I love a surrealist game but the combat - though an interesting mechanic - is inconsistent and annoying. I found myself just running away from enemies except in the parts of the game that forced me to fight something. The other problem is that because it starts with the weird at a 10, there's nowhere to really escalate from there so nothing feels particularly shocking or interesting after the opening. Seraphixial - 1/10 By far the worst in the series. The Combat is boring and repetitive, enemies are all bullet sponges, the art design is ugly and inconsistent in a bad way, the level design is boring hallways (including one that makes you walk down a literally rectangular walkway and then walk back), and the story is just nothing at all. Don't even waste your time on this one. The Fruit - 9/10 My second favorite in the collection! Great atmosphere and even though the world design is simple it still feels interesting with enough surprises and variety. The combat is a lot of fun too and the reload mechanic adds a lot to the experience and just when you start to get comfortable it adds in new mechanics in unexpected ways! My only complaint is that the combat at the end gets annoyingly difficult and I had to repeat areas many times to get through. The House of Unrest - 7/10 A solid short game by Szymanski! Just short enough to not overstay it's welcome on its simple combat and puzzles. Probably the most straightforward game of the series but that's all it needs to be. Meta-Narrative - 4/10 The atmosphere is great but the tasks are all time wasters that have you slowly plod back and forth across a generic "arctic research base." Not worth the time and annoyance.
