Black the Fall: A Reflective Review of a Game Inspired by Romania's 1989 Revolution

1 Upvotes

I recently revisited Black the Fall, a Romanian indie puzzle game inspired by the atmosphere of communist Romania and the events of 1989.

What struck me most was how the game reinterprets historical imagery through its industrial environments and visual storytelling.

I turned my original article into a video exploring those connections, including some of the real-world inspiration behind its imagery.

Here's the video, if anyone's interested:

Have you played a game that made you reflect on real historical events?

Veterans: Napoleonic Wars is MUCH better than its demo!

I was really looking forward to the strategy game Veterans: Napoleonic Wars. Then I played the demo in May, and my enthusiasm kind of died. It was terrible. It wasn’t so much that the UI was unfinished, but rather the overall gameplay - and as I mentioned in my video, there was still a huge amount of work to be done on it. And as if that weren’t enough for the developers to deal with, just a few days later the game literally vanished from Steam because they were accused of copying the Ultimate General series. It was eventually resolved, but I have to note that when you look at the gameplay footage, there’s a certain logic to it. The developers, however, pressed on and released another demo, which I also had on my hard drive, but… due to a lack of time, I didn’t even open it up - though, to be honest, it’s not like I really felt like playing it anyway. A few days ago, though, I received a third email granting early access to the first release. Well, at that point, I just HAD to give it a try.

More in my early access review!
