February Update!

It’s been a while since I’ve done an update, but I’ve beaten a couple games now. I recieved an Oculus Quest 2 as an early birthday present so I’ve been trying to figure that out. Unfortunately It’s been making me motion sick but I’m hoping I get over it because I have a lot of new games I want to try!

Taxes? What taxes?

The title pretty much sums this one up. You play as a turnip boy who… commits tax evasion! This game is very cute and charming. I love the visuals and the humor. The humor reminds me of something like Paper Mario. I wish the game was longer and had more engaging gameplay, but those are just nitpicks. I still have some achievements to get and there are areas I still haven't visited. Also some fun endgame parts.

I don't know if I recommend it for 15 dollars since its so short, but I bought it on sale and it was a lot of fun!

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

hauntingly beautiful

Hellblade is a beautiful and dark tale of a girl named Senua who travels to Helheim to find her lover. The story is amazing and the graphics are on another level. The game is just beautiful to look at. They have also done some amazing things with the audio. Senua suffers from psychosis and the game does a great job of making you feel part of that experience.

Unfortunately I didn't fall in love with the game as much as I wanted to because of the puzzles. The puzzles slowed the game down drastically and it took me forever to solve them just to get to the next section of the game. I didn't mind the combat at all, but the puzzles were definetely a downside for me. That is just my opinion though and others may have loved those sections of the game.

Overall, I would not replay Hellblade due to the gameplay. But I would watch the cutscenes over and over. It has an engaging story and beautiful visuals. I would recommend it, preferably on sale!

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest

A fun adventure that ended too soon.

Werewolf- Heart of the forest is a text based game that gives you a story and lets you make choices on how the story will go. It's pretty much a visual novel so if you aren't a fan of reading or VN's you probably won't like it. The story is intruiging and I enjoyed the choices and different aspects of the game, but then it just ends. It's so short and the whole game felt like a build up that was cut short. There was so much interesting set up and lore but not enough story to actually flesh any of it out. I didn't try other routes but the reviews made it clear that it wouldn't change much.

I really did enjoy this game and if there is a longer version or if its worth going back to it, I definetely would give it a try. It was a lot of fun and very interesting if you are a fan of werewolves! I definetely do NOT recommend this game for full price. But on sale or bundle it could be worth it!
