OP Achievements Balancing
For over 5 years now Opium Pulses have allowed members to collect loyalty points in various ways, whether that be via cashback in the store, completing quests or by earning on-site achievements by completing certain tasks and milestones.After so many years and hundreds of thousands of registered users, we are left with a lot of data on how our members interact with the website and how they ultimately earn and spend their points.One thing we have noticed is that our most popular achievements are the less interactive ones (what we call our 'Idle Achievements'), such as years of membership or entering/winning

Opium Pulses Points Disabled in Store [UPDATE]
UPDATEEarlier this year we made a very hard decision… allow us to elaborate…Since our store opened to the public in 2014, we’ve been constantly hit with fraudulent activity, not just real money fraud but multi-account point farming too, meaning our store stock was being bled dry by fraudsters who had no intention of paying for the products they claimed. We tried every method under the sun to balance this so we could take the hit without affecting our genuine and loyal customers, but earlier this year we were brought to breaking point and were left with two simple choices; shut down
Beta + Changes to Come [UPDATE 3]
So Opium Pulses has a new look for 2018, unless you've been giving us the cold shoulder lately, we're sure you will have noticed our new lick of paint!Technically the site is still a work in progress and we very much consider what is presented so far to be in BETA state. This means not everything is finished and what is, might not work as expected, but we're working day and night to implement all the changes required to bring the quality to a level our customers and members expect.First, we'll go over a few of the big things we know

Thank you. I'm sure you could probably tell from reading the article, but Out of Sight is a game that feels particularly personal for me, partly due to my state while playing it, but also because I had been waiting for a Prey sequel for years and will likely be waiting forever.
I hope I was able to keep my objectivity - I tried!
I would love to return to Prey sometime for a review.
I'll have to see if I can track down a copy when I'm done with my current projects.

As someone who also loved the original Prey but tried hard and failed to enjoy the 2017 release (not a bad game, just not for me), I thought this article was really well written. Maybe one day you'll consider doing a retro review of the original?

UPDATE: There are now 100 products in the Trove. Of course, the majority of these are smaller or novelty titles, as there's no way to purchase OP points and fraud up to now basically cut away the little profit we made from things like quests or ads, they're essentially reskinned giveaways, so there's only so much we can list for "purchase" there.
The store will include both Trove and standard products, so is the place to look for any more premium games you might want - but again, as per the article, this is majorly being stripped back and will hold limited titles moving forward.September 20, 2023 -

The Trove had already been cut back, the store is where the bulk of the work needs to be done as this can't be done automatically like we could with the Trove.
That said, we expect to be able to add more to the Trove once the store work has been completed so it should actually increase a little.

BillyBoBThe trove currently only has 45 articles and it is mostly, let's be fair, random indie games. What is there to cut back on?September 18, 2023

I like this review. Informative, fun, and personal so I really get the feeling of what you thought. I was considering getting this game as I have House Flippers and PC Builder and like this genre. Now after reading this I am definitely putting it on the "TO GET" list.

This honestly just reads like you're salty because it's a difficult game.
This is a 2d rage platformer. No story, nothing too complicated, just simply get from the start to the finish. There are hundreds of games in this category and this is simply the best one.
It's difficult and that's the way it should be. There is nothing this game needs that isn't already here. The only extra "reward" that could be given at the end of a level is simply a good job on your screen.
Don't just go looking for everything "wrong" with the game because it's a little difficult.
