Hello all again! I feel much better these days, even if works seems to be increasing. Today I will make small review for the games I was challenged to play, I want to thank EvilBlackSheep for choosing these for me!

Half-Life 2
BLACKLISTER #27

Cat Quest

7/10

Let me start saying that I don´t like cats. At all :D. But this game is quite a charming little RPG. The gameplay was fun yet simple, with a cute selection of equipment. While the main quest was predictable and nothing special, the side quests were really good, since every small town has its own chain quest that follow nice small stories. Overall enjoyable game.

BLACKLISTER #32

Little Misfortune

6/10

Disclaimer: this game is very depressive. Misfortune is a really appropiate name for this "Little lady". I will not comment much to not spoil the game, I found the story quite entertaining, but I was not a fan of the art (Those animations… Yikes forever!), but the voices and dialogue are quite good, and Misfortune herself is a charm to follow around. Some design decisions made the game fall a bit short, but I enjoy it anyway

Half-Life 2
BLACKLISTER #49

Yoku's Island Express

I loved this game. It's a platformer game with elements of metroidvania and … PINBALL! F****NG PINBALL! Awesome design, really fun to play, not much else to say, if you like original gameplay play it.

I don't rate it more because while fun and innovative, it's not a groundbreaking game, but I still recommend it to everyone that has access to it.

Half-Life 2
BLACKLISTER #73

Wargroove

8/10

I did not finish Wargroove, only played the initial missions, because I know I will not finish it within the time limit, so I write down my thoughts so far. This seems a pretty decent "Advanced Wars" Fantasy game, which is a really cool idea. I am enjoying it, but you cannot truly jugde these games until you reach later stages, so I will review it again when I finish it.

And I leave my favourite of the bunch for last:

Half-Life 2
BLACKLISTER #57

Night in the woods

I don't know what other people will think about this game, but I was really touched by it. As an expat leaving far from home, I felt really identified with the feelings when you finally return back, even just for a few days. Life continues with or without you, your hometown changes and your relationships simply fade away, even the ones you are able to maintain just are not the same, and never will.

It also touches important themes about growing up, growing out, mental illness and such. I loved the art and most of the characters, they are charming and interesting. World construction is really good, you get the vibe of a small town dying out due to economical situation, something most of us experienced as well. It combines crazy moments with very mundane ones, as life is always doing. Some parts are not really good, like most of the dream scenes, and it's surely not a game for everyone, but I really liked it. Crimes?? Crimes!

I have more games to review, but I leave them for next time.

Happy gaming!

You’re very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed them and I will forgive you for not liking cats, even though this is a bit blasphemous. But rejoice, Cat Quest 2 has a playable doggo instead)

I’m glad I successfully converted somebody else to Yoku’s Island Express :D And even more happy about the fact you loved Night in the Woods so much, because I agree with you ;)

My job is done here for this month :D

I totally forgot to answer you, sorry. Thanks for the recommendation again, Night in the woods was… Quite hard on me. Damn, I really miss home I guess, and it’s too easy to get stuck in that loop of life emptiness which is filled only with work, specially in this shitty situation we currently have.
