I haven't forgotten to search Steam's new releases. But there really has been nothing noteworthy in the past while. I'm not really complaining, because my backlog will last me a metaphorical infinity, and it's nice to know it's not growing while I can't be there to trim it down.
And even though I should have perhaps done other things, I finished ICEY this evening. It was definitely something a little different. I definitely don't wish to reveal any further details about this aspect, but it reminded me very heavily of The Stanley Parable. It is most definitely not as intricate and well-made in that aspect though, but enjoyable in its own right.
But it is almost equal parts, if not more, an action game. You probably won't enjoy this if you're not going to at least moderately like both sides of the game, as you can't really ignore either. And the action part is actually rather well done. The combat feels fast, responsive, and rewarding. Perhaps overly spammy, and not all too difficult with the correct cheese tactics (which are boring and time consuming, but hey, you don't have to use them and just run on easy mode), but I really liked it.
The entire thing might take about 4-8 hours of your time, depending on how much you want to complete, and how good you are at progressing. The voice acting is also entirely in Chinese, which kinda bothered me, but you have subtitles in English, which luckily aren't badly translated at all.
Overall, it wasn't really super great in any of its parts, but neither were any pieces bad or missing. The variety was refreshing, and I guess I would recommend it, just don't expect too much from it.
