Luxor: 5th Passage

If it weren't for the sheer amount of bugs and issues this game has, this would have had been one of the better, or at least more unique Luxor games in my opinion. New power ups, especially double shooter, while simple, really give you the power of destruction and annihilating the oncoming trains of spheres. Eye of Horus was also a pretty neat mechanic, although kind of unneccessary in the end in all honesty - Not that you would ever get a chance to activate it anyway due to the requirement of catching 100 pieces of treasure per level for it's activation, which is far too much. As is also the case with many older games, Luxor series not being any different, there isn't really Steam Cloud save integration for those that care for it and you can't really customize the resolution that you wish to play on, which for some monitors can prove a bit annoying to deal with. Levels and their graphics are really beautiful and creative, as with most of the other Luxor games starting with and after original 2 - Despite the years showing, you can still appreciate the good looking level backgrounds and textures and the 3D feel of it all. Really wish I could recommend this game, but I can't. I think it would have had been far better and actually worthy of recommendation if anyone in the community of sphere matching games would fix up it's flaws. Still, it's worth at least taking a quick look at, if you wanna feel some freshness.
