Ever since Metroid: Samus Returns came out, I've wanted to get my thoughts out about it and how it compares to both the original Metroid 2: Return of Samus, and AM2R: Another Metroid 2 Remake. It's taken a long time to get everything together, and this video is what came of it.

ingeniousclown brings you Yet Another First Impression! This time we have a Kickstarter demo of a game that marries two games that I love (at least conceptually)! Empires of the Undergrowth takes those two games and creates something wonderful.
Check out their Kickstarter: https://goo.gl/8AHoZh
Check out their Website: http://www.eotugame.com/
Check them out on Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=557145123
Check out the demo: http://www.indiedb.com/games/empires-of-the-undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is a dungeon management style ant colony simulator with an emphasis on fast-paced strategic encounters. Players will excavate their nest from the earth, build up an army and engage in tug of war style battles as they attempt the journey back to their ancestral mating grounds.
The game’s theme is taken from the natural world, offering a fresh alternative to the usual sci-fi or fantasy setting for the genre. Following the theme, the campaign story is told from the perspective of a nature documentary team studying the insects.
Along the way your colony will face harsh environmental challenges: you must escape devastating floods and cross barren wastelands; deadly real world challenges will test your colony’s strength; huge beetles and fearsome arachnids will make quick work of undefended workers... and you will soon discover that your colony isnt the only insect empire to lay claim to the undergrowth.
Clash with rival ants in huge, frenzied battles. Assimilate powerful new species into your colony as you head for the ancestral mating grounds. Need ranged artillery? Then you will want to make use of the acid shooting wood ants. Trouble breaking through a fortified line of fire ants? Send your exploding carpenter ants into the fray and melt them with corrosive acid!
In the end, only one colony will dominate atop the pinnacle of the ancestral mating grounds and secure its place amongst the great Empires of the Undergrowth.
- Carve out and construct your underground nest to suit your strategy.
- Engage in fast-paced colony versus colony combat above ground.
- Absorb new species into your colony, then enhance them with upgrades and combat boosts.
- Encounter and overpower awesome Titans of the Undergrowth.
- Epic campaign story told from the perspective of a documentary team and inspired by real world challenges.

We solve a few more puzzles and then get our mind blown.
The Witness is the latest game from Jonathan Blow, the creator of Braid. In this game youre tasked with solving various puzzles at all follow the same basic principal: get through the maze. However, as you go through the game, the nature of these mazes changes to create different puzzles that keep you engaged throughout the game.
It is a highly immersive experience with a high-contrast art style full of color. There is no background music, because the developers believe that arbitrary background music would detract from the overall feeling of solitude and immersion. I tend to agree.
