August/September: All Things GREAT and small

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be gigantic, like Godzilla, or teeny tiny like Arrietty? How about we try it out in this new theme? It's all about games where characters or things are significantly bigger or smaller than their surroundings, like Little Nightmares or Grounded, or where they grow or shrink by a ridiculous amount, like in Alice in Wonderland-inspired games or through (de)buffs in games like Raccoin. Alternatively, you can also focus on animal-themed games, as the title for the theme is based on the British books and tv shows "All Creatures Great and Small".

Hand of Fate: Hordes great and small 17/24 HLTB : NA Time played : 19h Beaten (16/08/2026)

edit 16/08/2026 : Finished Hand of fate Hordes ! I thought the studio was very dead after Hand of fate 2, but they managed to come back and release a spin-off.
I’ve mixed feelings about this one. Amazing ambiance and sound effects, the power ascending is exhilarating. But it’s also extremely hard, damn grindy to get the permanent upgrades, and it needs serious balancing.

Yay, Arrietty! 🥳
