Vladimere's Lhore Reviews

An interesting look into both game development and the mind of a game developer. I would definitely recommend playing through with the audio commentary on. Here are some of my thoughts on each game: Killdeath - Frustrating but fun once you get the hang of it. I guess that sums up most Atari games. No Strings Attached - God I love the music in this one, I might have to ask Vlad for the soundtrack. It's got a great mood and a pretty good story too. Hellenore - A really cute little platformer, not really my kind of game but I enjoyed the vibes. As to your question, Vlad, probably Seaside Hill from Sonic Heroes. Nightmare Killer - This one is dumb, but it a fun way. I still prefer Robert Englund's portrayal of the character. Killdeath Again - I'm not sure the concept translates super well to 3D, especially with how stubborn the movement is. But stacking upgrades and becoming ridiculously powerful is always fun. Good boss fight too. Become Pray: First Encounter - Big Blare Witch vibes, love it. A unique movement style too, really feels like it utilises the mouse. Become Pray 2: The Everlasting Sin - Everything I loved about the first one but I have a rifle which quickly shifts into a machine gun as the coyotes mass and my gem count rises. What A Wonderful Life - This one really makes me feel something, numb specifically, life can be like that sometimes. At least the snow is pretty. The Arrogance Of Man - It's interesting to note that canonically Vlad's car didn't break down in this situation which means it's more than likely they are the ones that hit you at the end. Probably distracted by all the pretty lighting effects. Archade Woah!!! - The only one I've not got 100% in yet. The mood is great and I love to see the numbers go up but the arcade games suck. Nowhere has Time Crisis anymore :( Madvent 2 & 3 - Bitey is cute, animation is funny, combat is ace. C.H.A.I.N.G.E.D Unbound - Feels like I walked into something halfway through. It was more like a dream in that way. Madvent 4: End Of The Line - Such nostalgia, such sadness, such hope. Make Beautiful: This one made me really uncomfortable, which I suppose was the point. The cube kind of felt like it came out of nowhere, maybe the horror is in not knowing why.

A collection of games by Vladimere Lhore. All the games are short but really fun, different genres, and some have more than one ending. The thing I loved most is the Museum: each game had a room dedicated to it with dioramas displaying assets and informations about the development. There is also a commentary that can be listened to wich gives a more personal look into the development of each game. p.s. My favourite videogame beach is Phon Coast from Final Fantasy XII

A wonderful glimpse into the progression of a video game developer. As someone that has enjoyed watching making of/ developer commentaries/ how it's made videos my whole life, this game scratched an itch I haven't gotten since The Orange Box with it's developer commentary nodes (which the developer also appreciates). They just give such a great look into the thought process and problem solving throughout his career. There's even a museum launcher mode with additional insight into development, assets labeled with more information, and even new custom areas to house each of it's games. Also the dev seems super cool and is a delight to listen to talk about his games. He even makes an Ace Combat, Silent Hill, and... Lake Mungo reference(!!!! holy crap that movie is great). As for the games, Hellenore and No Strings Attached are the clear standouts, while the rest are fun enough to warrant at least a play through. TLDR; If you want a fantastic look behind the curtain experience, this is the best I've seen probably ever, and at least since Orange Box, and with some fun games included. Also, to Vladimere Lhore, the beach at the opening of The Silent Cartographer from Halo 1.
