Rot Gut is a simple 2D platformer set during the 1920. You're some agent who needs to shoot up evil gangsters or something. It's about as simple as it sounds, and the game is really short. I could not get my gamepad to work with it, but the keyboard controls are good enough, and the game is just generally very easy. The game is fun enough, worth a playthrough if you got it in a bundle or very cheap, but nothing worth going out of your way for.

I managed to get 0 achievements during my playthrough of this game!

If you played LOVE, you know exactly what this game is about. It's more of the same. kuso is a 2D platformer that's both very punishing, and forgiving at the same time. Your goal is to simple make it through a gauntlet of different stage hazards, where a single hit kills you. You can place down respawn points on any solid ground, which is what makes it so forgiving. I enjoyed this game, much like I enjoyed LOVE, but it's a very short playthrough (this game also has some levels from the original game, but it lets you chose if you want to play through just the new levels, or all of them, and I just beat the new levels).

This is a very "questionable" RPG, based on a famous Russian sci-fi novel.
I wrote a review for it if you're interested in more details, but the short of it is that this game is not very good. It's very buggy, and the translation is absolutely atrocious. It was oddly compelling at times, but the second half of this game is a real slog. Also, this game has a really annoying heartbeat sound when you're wounded

The Sea will claim Everything is a short Point & Click adventure, that's very dialogue heavy. Some of the dialogue is genuinely very entertaining, and the whole game has this surreal sense to it that I really enjoyed. Sadly the actual puzzle solving leaves a bit to be desired, and some of the pixel hunting you need to do, while hardly the hardest ever, felt like it just slowed down the game a bit too much. This is the kind of game that might well be best played with a guide. Not one you follow to the letter, mind you, doing a bit of exploration and talking to the stranger creatures that inhabits this world is a must, but having a guide that helps you past some of the pixel hunting would be a good thing.

The second game in this update that had a really annoying heartbeat sound that was meant to indicate damage!

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds' End is a mediocre game based on an even more mediocre movie. I remember watching the movie at the cinema, and being mostly bored. Well, this game is also mostly kind of boring. It has an alright combat system, the issue has to do with the encounter design, which remains pretty much identical through the entire game. You've got next to no actual variety with the enemies , and only on a few occasions are there stage hazards that could get in the way (and these generally did not make things more fun). If you've not seen the movie, the story to this game will seem completely disjointed, as I think they've cut out a lot of intended cutscenes. Considering the cast of the movie are not actually voicing the characters here, they don't have the excuse of not having access to the cast, they just skipped a lot of scenes between the levels, which makes the story make absolutely no sense.

Also, in regards to the "Why is the pirate gay?" thing, that was something that the Disney higher ups actually asked when they made the first movie. They did not get Jack Sparrow, they thought Johnny Depp was playing a gay character, when what he in actually was doing was playing a washed up rockstar (his reasoning was that pirate captains were basically the rockstars of the era, so he should act like a washed up rockstar).
Oh Johnny, how far you fell. He really added a lot with his ideas to the first movie, and seemed to have been a key part in the creative process, while in the last movie he could not even be bothered to show up on time, and did not want to learn his lines, so he had an earpiece, and was told his lines through that. He also seems to have turned into a rather abusive and unlikable person.

It's also funny how the higher ups at Disney had already decided that pirate movies would always flop, and even when the shooting was pretty much done (which had to be done behind their backs for the most part), they wanted to cancel the movie, because they "knew it would fail". And somehow the lesson they got from this movie was not "making good movies with actors who do their job well is likely to earn them some success", what they "learnt" from making this movie was "Giving Johnny Depp stupid hats is a recipe for success". Hence why we got things like The Lone Ranger.

You know, the things going on behind the scenes of the Pirates movies, and the business side of it is a lot more interesting than this game ever had the chance to be. It really highlights how the higher ups in the entertainment industry really don't "get it". They're pretty much always looking for simple answers. "Movie was successful-> it was because Johnny Depp had a stupid hat", "Movie was unsuccessful->This entire genre of movies is dead, nobody wants to see them anymore"! It's the exact same thing with the video game industry.

And that was a needlessly long explanation about something that was only tangentially related to the game
