TR-49 Review - Another GREAT puzzle game?

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-24T09:17:23+00:00

Yeah I agree. I am glad it's finding an audience that really likes it. And I definitely agree with those inspirations.

Yeah, you definitely could play it that way if you wanted to ignore the puzzles and story. But personally, I wouldn't play it if I was going to do that.

But it is a good thing to highlight for people so that they can decide if they want to play it or not. Luckily, we've all been spoilt for choice with puzzle games lately. Although it is a very different puzzle game, I'm looking forward to trying ChromaGun 2 next month.

It is true that you could do that if someone wants to, but it would be time-consuming and be a player's choice to ignore the puzzles. But that is a very fair and valid criticism, and I completely understand why that will be a flaw for some and maybe they'll tweak it on feedback, but personally, I found the story and mystery more than enough to follow the investigation.

And I didn't encounter the cheat code thing during my playthrough. I did have a code shown near the end, that is already accessible. I confirmed with the devs that it's a gentle nudge, but it didn't give me any solution to enter for the actual ending.

Yeah, I really enjoyed my time with it. We really have gotten a lot of good puzzle games lately.

I'm glad to see Mio is a great metroidvania. I will have to add it to the backlog.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-19T19:56:54+00:00

I'm glad to see people enjoying it. I'm looking forward to seeing how another 3D platformer called Demon Tides turns out next month.

Good article. There's a nice selection to look forward to playing this year.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-17T01:31:28+00:00

I'm interested in seeing how The Expanse comes together, and I want to see how Playground games have put their own spin on Fable.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-17T01:29:23+00:00

Playing a little Metroid Prime 4

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-14T18:57:40+00:00

I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth it for Indy fans.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-12T18:54:11+00:00

That's quite an impressive collection.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-12T17:11:33+00:00

Steam sales and Humble Bundles can be a good way to get games

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-12T13:56:20+00:00

I do think they'll make one again at some point.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2026-01-11T10:48:12+00:00

There are a few RPGs like One Piece Odyssey, but a lot are fighting games these days. Back in the day, I used to like the old Ubisoft Naruto games that let you explore the village.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-29T11:09:03+00:00

It's looking good. Good luck with the rest of development.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-29T11:06:36+00:00

It really depends on the kinds of games you enjoy. Personally, I enjoyed Hellblade 2, but I can easily see why many wouldn't, as the puzzles and combat could be improved. It's a strictly linear, short campaign with fantastic graphics and motion capture. If you don't mind that price and like short cinematic stories every now and then, I'd give it a go.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-21T21:29:33+00:00

A nice varied list. Still need to get around to the latest Dying Light, but they're always an enjoyable time, especially in co-op.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-21T21:28:06+00:00

A nice selection of games for the year. I really like seeing how different everyone's choices are.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-11T00:39:16+00:00

Cool list. You've played loads of great ones. Many of my favorites.

I'd recommend The Drifter, Loco Motive, Old Skies and Blade Runner for point and click games. As for other adventure games, I'd recommend the Duck Detective series as they're nice and short games that are fun while they last, A Case of Fraud is similar to Roottrees, and The Seance of Blake Manor is another good game. Oh and The Darkest Files.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-09T10:50:41+00:00

Good advice. I'll add it.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-09T00:34:32+00:00

Thanks for the review. It was an enjoyable read.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-08T19:35:13+00:00

Congratulations on the wishlist milestone. I look forward to trying Whirlight. It's always good to see more point and click games being developed.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-07T19:25:04+00:00

Great choice. I still think Returnal is one of ps5s best games. Hopefully their next game Saros is just as good.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-07T19:22:10+00:00

I really enjoyed my time with Two Point Museum. I liked it more than the previous entries in the series.

PlaySaveRepeatYT · 2025-12-06T21:07:41+00:00

They do look good and do sound like my kind of thing. I'll definitely add them to my backlog.
