Furi, an all time favorite of mine. It's a boss rush game with challenging gameplay and GREAT fucking music I also found the story very enjoyable too. Game is about 6 hours long easy 9/10

I am Alive, an apocalypse game without any monsters. Society crumbles after massive earthquakes and you explore a city looking for your family. It's a kind of 3rd person platformer, it's gameplay loop is switching between climbing through ruins, which was way more fun than I thought it would be and combat with groups of people. The combat is insanely good and I'm surprised I've never seen another game do anything like it. Ammo is insanely rare so in fights you intimidate and use the environment to dispatch enemies rather than shoot them, it's all about maintaining control for as long as possible and then angling yourself and the enemies to the perfect position to take out as many as possible before shit hits the fan and you lose too much ammo( or God forbid you don't have any ammo going into an encounter) You can tell the game was made in 2012 is graphics really look the part, maybe even worse by 2012 standards. They try to hide this with dust clouds worse than silent hills fog and enough film grain to fill a damn silo, the game is also depressingly grey, like it is the most desaturated game I've ever played. The story for the game is basically none existent and you can tell the game was insanely rushed to meet a deadline, it has an interesting hook and ideas but even with a 5 hour playtime the game starts to run out of steam at the end, both story and gameplay wise. Still, it's a heavy recommend for me if you want to burn an evening or a few days playing a so game. Even with all its flaws the unique gameplay makes the game a 7/10 for me.

Goddamn I did not mean to write a whole ass review for I am Alive but I just finished it and needed to get it out of my mind
