🔪 The Quarry Xbox Series X Review 8.5/10 "The Best Supermassive Title Yet" 🔪 @SuperMGames #TheQuarry

We at GF – specifically, myself and Transvaal – are big fans of Supermassive Games’ approach to the horror genre, especially in the ‘one session and done’ The Dark Pictures Anthology series, which appears to be growing stronger with each release. And so we approached The Quarry with the (little) hope that we’d be in for a good time watching people have bad times, and that hope was rewarded with – what we believe to be – the best Supermassive Games release yet.

As usual, the records are presented in no particular order.

🏯Bright Memory: Infinite Xbox Series X Review 8/10 "I'm No Cosmologist" 🏯 @FYQD_Studio #IndieGame #GameDev

I'm no cosmologist, but I'm reasonably sure that if a black hole opened up in the sky then we would all be dead in very short order. However, this is the event that kicks off Bright Memory: Infinite, and by the end of the game (which is only about 2-3 hours), everything is broadly similar to the way it was at the start. 

Although you have killed quite a few people, as well as some unexpected historical warriors, in that time, as well as engaged in a gun battle on the wings of a plane that is being sucked into the said black hole.

🚨👮 Autobahn Police Simulator 3 Review 4.5/10 "New ideas can’t paper over the issues that carry through the series" 🚔 @AerosoftGmbH #IndieGames #GameDev

I reviewed Autobahn Police Simulator 2 back at the end of 2020, and, whilst I enjoyed my time with the game, the unavoidable technical issues really hacked away at what was a solid premise with some great ideas floating around. In my review of the previous entry, I stated:

 “Whilst Autobahn Police Simulator 2 is a tough one to recommend due to the above-mentioned issues, I really hope that a third game comes out and has more time spent on the basics such as camera work, animation, controls and overall smoothness.”

Unfortunately, this is not the case.
