Cult of the Lamb

Pretty fun roguelite with a great artstyle it also has a good foundation for good lore but sadly it is
not developed :c

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated

COMPLETED!
Pretty good platformer a bit easy but fun enough and it has a lot of really neat references to the show, if you have any amount of nostalgia for spongebob squarepants you will like it, the music is also really good

Fallout 4

I like this game i really do but as a fan of the fallout series it feels like a husk of what could and should have been an awesome entry in the fallout series, its all there interesting locales, characters, plotlines and questlines, weapons, all of it is good but its all just frosting over a cake made of nothing, it doesnt develop any quests more than the bare minimum it has to, like for example i just finished a murder mystery mission in the Far Harbor DLC and you found out that [SPOILER] the wife of a character has been murderded and you kill the murderer very loudly the narrative feedback for this action by the husband and every other character in this Clue mansion is things like “That sounded intense” or “That was some commotion” and these are people that have known each other for more than 200 years! (no time to explain). I want to hear what these people have to say, damn it! This is supposedly a role playing game! [/SPOILER] and yes after you finish some quest the results from them will be announced by Travis in Diamond City Radio and that’s great but it’s just a few that are like that and it’s not close to the level of Three Dog in Fallout 3 (man, i love Three Dog), put more heart into it Bethesda! I feel that every game nowadays it’s getting more and more simplified to “appeal to a wider market” and i get that but you are losing focus and removing everything that makes games special i feel like i could be eating something nice and homemade and instead i am eating fast food all “polished” and bland the whole AAA industry feel like that, indies are better but i feel like in some aspects it’s getting there too.

Well enough ranting, i like the game it has some nice story vignettes (though it lacks a compelling beginning-to-end narrative) the combat and the weapons are fun (though it can get to a point that it’s EXTREMELY tedious dealing with bullet spongy enemies ) and the music it’s great! (no buts here, the music IS great)

60 Seconds! Reatomized

Pretty cool choose you own story kinda game, it is an improvement to a traditional text adventure in the way that i has a gameplay component in each run at the beginning when you collect things for your fallout shelter and it has a really cool visual identity, i recommend it

Deadlight: Director’s Cut

I think i played the non-directors’s cut edition before but i am not so sure, the game is good, it has an interesting, short but sweet story and it doesnt seem to be constricted by its 2D platform genre, it has actually some cool platforming puzzles, still is a short and not too complex, i would really like seeing a more developed sequel for this

West of Loathing

Well i hoped to like this game, i played i bit of https://www.kingdomofloathing.com/ before and really liked it, well this “actual game” based on it turned out to be a great RPG, really really funny but it is a pretty decent game too, but man it be funny, really looking forward to grabbing shadows over loathing when it goes on sale

High on Life

Pretty good game, gameplay is nothing amazing but it has some pretty fun ideas, the standout here though are graphics, even when i had to play it on Low it looked really good, and the humor, its a really funny game if you like rick and morty style humor, both visual humor and writing are top notch

I think West of Loathing is more fun to watch then to play, at least for me. I love the humor but I got kind of bored with how long it was. Also everyone is playing High on Life and I have been so behind I haven’t even heard of it until yesterday. Looks like fun though! I hope you have a good 2023!
