APP REVIEW FRIDAY

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about

NEW APPS THIS WEEK

The Eyes of Ara

Price: $4.99

The Eyes of Ara is a PC game with a new mobile port. It plays a lot like Myst and similar puzzle games. You explore around, find clues, unlock secrets, and progress through the game. The narrative builds as you progress and find more clues. The game also features outstanding graphics, solid controls, achievements, and multiple languages. It goes for $19.99 over on Steam, so the $4.99 price tag is more than reasonable for puzzle game fans.

Steam Chat

Price: Free

Steam Chat is, well, Steam's chat in its own standalone app. It works almost like the desktop client. You can chat with people, share various types of files, add friends, and even use the group chat feature. We didn't see a voice chat in the app but we assume that's coming eventually. There are some issues, but most of them are during setup. For instance, you need a confirmation code from the main app to use this one. It's annoying, but it also only happens once.

Daggerhood

Price: $1.99

Daggerhood is a 2D side-scrolling platformer. It plays like most of the ones you've played before. There are obstacles, bad guys, boss fights, and many lava pits to avoid. The character gets a bunch of abilities to help with the obstacles and bosses as well. You get 100 levels, five bosses, various challenges, and more. The game regularly goes for $2.99. However, it's on sale for $1.99 as of the time of this writing.

And as always have a chilled day from the viking.
