    You Have to Win the Game is a wonderful tribute to the 8-bit age of videogames. A traditional retro-style 2D platformer oriented to exploration and backtracking, that turns a demanding challenge into his own distinctive sign. It will be loved from those gamers that were born in the 80’s.

I got a couple of kicks out of it because it was one of the first games I got on Steam. Now, I don't touch it because I got really bored of it. I don't like the game anymore because I got frustrated. Maybe once in a blue moon I'll try it again but for now I'm good. There is no fun stuff to do and there is absolutely no music whatsoever. I just don't like this game.… Full Review »

This adds the factor to the old game aesthetic. As the title suggests, the main objective like many other games is to beat it, that is the problem, IT IS REALLY HARD TO BEAT IT. You are an adventurer and you are in some sort of world and it is full of things that want to kill you and confuse you. You will find yourself not beating this game in one sitting or you will break your monitor. There is no story as I can see and no explanation to what you do and I find this horrible. The reason being is that you will end up going to dead ends because of this. And there is no maps which I find more irritating, however that is the point of the game.

    Personally I do not like these types of games and for that I would recommend people who want to be overly challenged to get this as it is free to play.
    For those in my situation, who like games with a bit of help or guidance, you are not going to enjoy this as much as you want to.    … Full Review »
