| [1] Review- The Realm of The Owl | |
| By: blackmustangs075 Date: December 12, 2012, 2:59 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Hello, fans. For those of you who don't know, this is my | |
| first legit review (On this site). Since this isn't the | |
| mainsite, I may be keeping my reviews short and simple. So | |
| please, grab the popcorn and enjoy the review! | |
| "The Realm of the Owl" is created by Michaelrd, who has | |
| requested me to write this review for him. So this is dedicated | |
| to you, Mike! This game was created with the platformer game | |
| maker on Sploder. As the title may suggest, you are in the Realm | |
| of the Owl. (No kidding, Mr Obvious). | |
| There isn't a very solid storyline for this game, mostly | |
| just a mash-up of tough levels. Although the levels tend to be | |
| small and slightly complex, the game is still enjoyable (Which | |
| is the most important thing). I found the levels to be the least | |
| bit intricate, even though the game difficulty is rated 10. This | |
| rating surprised me, for reasons I have previously stated. | |
| Sadly, I'm going to cover negatives first. (Aww, | |
| blackmustangs!) I felt the game could have had more | |
| Puzzles/Traps in it. The lack of puzzles in the game deducted | |
| from the gameplay very greatly. Many people like simple games, | |
| but I for one am all about challenging games. Like a sturdy | |
| building, there needs to be a base. Puzzles make up a huge chunk | |
| of the base of a game. With the major shortage of traps and | |
| puzzles in the game, that "house" just collapses. | |
| One huge thing that detracted from the overall score was | |
| the absence of decorations. Some back walls, torches, anything | |
| would have increased the feel of the game. I am very picky when | |
| it comes to scenery in a game. If the scenery is terrible, or | |
| there is none at all, there is no feel to it. You just feel like | |
| you're walking on a straight line (Which you kind of are). If | |
| you look at all of the featured Platformer games on Sploder, you | |
| will most likely see all of the games having great decorations | |
| (Getting off topic?). Long story short, decorations make up a | |
| good game. | |
| Looking at what I have stated thus far, you may be thinking | |
| that this game is not worth playing. In all reality though, this | |
| was a very fun game and I would gladly play it anytime. Although | |
| Michaelrd tends to copy a lot of famous game maker's ideas (It's | |
| true, Michael), he still knows how to make a good game. There | |
| were a couple good traps and concepts in this game, so that sort | |
| of increases its overall quality. | |
| I feel that this game lacked a good length (The game only | |
| contained 7 short levels) but it was still a pleasure to play. | |
| Would I recommend trying out this game? Most definitely. | |
| Score Card | |
| Gameplay- 5/10 | |
| Challenge- 6/10 | |
| No Lag- 10/10 | |
| Decorations- 1/10 | |
| Puzzles/Traps- 5/10 | |
| Creativity- 7/10 | |
| Originality- 5/10 | |
| Fun- 7/10 | |
| Overall Score: 46/80 (About 3/5) | |
| Do I think this game is feature-worthy? No, but it is still a | |
| good game. | |
| Thanks to everyone for reading. Hasta Luego! | |

| of the site. If you think you can do better, feel free to | |
| impress one of us recruiters with an excellent review and start | |
| making some reviews. | |

| I understand that you can't be on all the time. This review | |
| covered a lot of information in a few sentences. Also, you are | |
| accepting requests, so you have to do a lot of work on | |
| reviewing. You are now a reviewer recruiter. I'll add you to the | |
| group. You can deny/accept reviews now! | |
