Mid September Update!

Quantum Break is a game where you get the ability to control and manipulate time. You play Jack Joyce, who must use his new time abilities to stop time itself from being destroyed.

There are things I liked and things I didn't. I thought the different time abilities were pretty neat and well balanced. you can upgrade them and combine abilities to make the combat more interesting. If you don't use any abilities, it becomes the standard cover shooter.
I wish the enemies were more varied. Some enemies had the ability to zap around quickly, but I wanted them to introduce more powered enemies throughout the game.

The story was pretty good. The main character felt a little bland and I didn't really connect to him, but I enjoyed some other characters in the game. The story isn't amazing but if you enjoy time-traveling tropes then you'll probably like it. I wasn't a big fan of the ending though.

The biggest gimmick of the game is the choices and live-action segments. I thought overall, it was pretty neat. There is only one choice per chapter and it doesn't change the whole game or ending. It does change small details and a scene or two from the live-action parts. The acting was good and the story was engaging so I think it was a successful game/show hybrid.

I enjoy Remedy games overall. I liked Max Payne and Alan Wake. Quantum Break fell a little short of my expectations, but I still enjoyed it. I'd recommend it on sale, or full price if you really think it's your type of thing!

Danganronpa 2 is even longer and crazier than the first one. I can't tell which one I like more but I loved them both a lot. I enjoyed the first game because I didn't know what to expect and it was wacky and weird while grounded by realistic themes. This game is just bonkers. It actually does make sense when you finish the game though.

This game introduces new characters and a new story but still has the detective parts. I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed the new locations. I thought the cases were really well done. One, in particular, shocked me a lot.

The game added a lot of extra things like a Tamagotchi like pet, a leveling up system, and some other extra editions. Also, a lot of extra bonus things after you finish the game (that I still have to complete).

I want to keep this vague, but if you enjoyed Danganronpa 1 I think you'll really enjoy 2 and it is worth it on sale and full price. It takes some time getting into but it's worth it when it picks up. I especially enjoyed the ending. I will be buying the third game in a couple of days so I hope it's just as good!

60 Seconds! Reatomized just showed up in my library one day and I was really confused. Turns out it's an updated version of 60 seconds I got for free for owning the original one. I really respect when devs will give away a better and updated version of their game for free.

Anyway 60 seconds! Reatomized is definitely an improvement from the original game. I only played the survival again (because my boyfriend is using the good computer that can run the scavenger part) but that's really the only part that's heavily updated anyway.

The improvements I noticed right away was; the graphics were better, the rations were portioned better, and there were new events and art added. The menu is also different along with the book you use during the survival portion. Also, now when everyone leaves the shelter it's not an instant game over. That bothered me a lot in the first one so I was very happy to see that changed. I'm sure there are some little changes I didn't mention but overall it's much improved.

Sadly, even with the update I still felt a little bored playing and it didn't make me want to replay the game again several times. Overall 60 seconds is average at best (imo) and it's just not for me. If you are interested though then I definitely recommend picking up this version instead of the original since it doesn't remove any features and just adds a lot of better ones.

I saw Kind Words and thought it looked really cute. Then after a particularly bad day I wanted to try something wholesome so I went ahead and bought it. Definitely no regrets.

Kind Words is less of a game and more of a wholesome letter-writing experiment. The game plays relaxing music while your character sits in a room. Then you have the option to write letters or respond to them. These letters are written by real people with problems or insecurities. You can then reply to people anonymously and try to cheer them up, or you can write out your own problems and have people anonymously reply to you. You can also send out paper airplanes with messages on them that float around the room and reach everyone who is playing.

If someone replies to your letter, you cannot reply back to them, but you can send a sticker as thanks. There are like 8 stickers you can collect in total that add items you can use to decorate your room.

Since it's not really a game, there isn't much to do, but it's nice to pop in and read the nice letters or paper airplanes or write to some people who are feeling down. Surprisingly I've seen no trolls so far. There is a report button and devs have most likely been on top of it. Plus it helps that everything is anonymous and you can't reply to letters back and forth.

Overall I'd recommend Kind Words if you are feeling down or if you want to help others who are feeling down. Or if you just want to relax to chill music and read the paper airplanes as they fly by.
