A okay-ish 3D collectathon.
Not much story as usual for those games
The controls are a bit slugish, I decided to endure the game since it's a short game.
Overall decent.

What to say about this nice little adventure.
I am personally not a fan of a game with several endings where you have to search for the correct one.
But this story was really good and it has nice gravity falls vibes.

I think Metroidvenia might be my favorite genre nowadays.
I would not say this one is one of the best metroidvenia out there.
But it's decent in every aspect.
If you don't expect too much, you can really have fun with this game.

Some highs and lows there.
Some plot twists I liked, some I didnt like.
Hard to say more without spoiling the story.
Overall I enjoyed it, even if it was not the best game.

turns music on
Great game, some parts felt more like a unnecessary filler, but still a great game.
The saddest part for me was the I couldnt enjoy the music after a huddle up cause the fight was over too fast.
They should have continued the music after you win, till the song is over.

The last game of the Kiryiu saga ( as far as I know)
Personally the first few chapters were a bit too slow for my taste.
But towards middle/end the whole thing really picked up the pace and got interesting.
Combat, games, sidequests were typical yakuza, not much to say there.

Okay, in general I wouldn't say this is a bad game.
I had quite a bit of fun with it,
but when a puzzle can soft lock your entire run and you have to restart halfway in, just cause you are stuck behind a puzzle?
That sucks big time.
After that I dropped the game and didn't pick it up again.

I finished one story run on the normal difficulty.
It feels like there is another ending to it, but I didnt bother to look for it.
In terms of gameplay it's fun, but nothing special, I wouldnt want to spend too much time on it.
So for the short while I played it, it was nice.

Damn this was fun!
I expected something like Pikmin, but was surprised with a 3D platformer.
The "Pikmin" are basically just abilities that help you in different ways to solve puzzles or platform around the area.
It's a really sweet mix of platforming, collecting and a touch of Pikmin.
The only tiny little -, it would have been nice if they would show missables with the goggles, but I managed to find everything naturally.

This one is hard to judge for me.
I had mixed feelings through the whole game.
I like the art and the setting, the whole beat'em up gameplay isnt really deep, the level up and equip mechanics are nice, it's a lot of repeating….
In the end I played through the whole game, I had fun, but it isn't that great of a game.
Probably more fun in co-op(offline only)

This game is weirdly fun.
I was just curious but in the end I kept playing and playing.
Till I finished the first half of the story? I moved the whole way up, but didnt want to bother with moving back down.

It's one of those games I would say "try the demo", either you get stuck with it or you don't.

I had a blast with this!
The Tim Burton-ish setting is awesome, the story feels kind of unique, the gameplay is fun.
You have a sort of action based combat, but you draw your equipment as a type of consumable cards.
Stuff to collect, monster to fight, a story to enjoy with a good atmosphere!

This was my first Assassins Creed….
I liked the Open World quests and exploration.
The Story and the environment was subpar for my taste.
But since I liked the gameplay in general, I have high hopes for Odyssey and Valhalla(which will hopefully arrive on steam)

Awesome music, awesome visuals, good gameplay.
The only thing I can complain about that some parts involve a bit of RNG, which can become frustrating if you have to try several times.
But overall an incredible game.
Just dont know if I would want to play Unravel 2 alone, considering that it's a coop focused game

Nice relaxing adventure
nothing special
but short enough to be a pleasant experience

I struggled more with this puzzle game, that I would like to admit
The game itself is decent.
Just not a big thing for me

I really enjoyed this time game!
I have no clue about Record of Lodoss War, so I cant say too much about the story.
Which I understood about it was okay.
But the gameplay is great.
Metroidvenia might be my favorite genre nowadays, and this game scratched all my itches.

A Beautiful nature planet get's overtaken by a black slime called the gunk.
First half of the game you mostly run around sucking up the gunk, later there are some enemies you have to deal with.
Most of the time you platform, collect materials and enjoy the scenery
no goty, but an okay game for what it is

Very creative puzzler with light platforming elements.
I got a lot more than I expected from it.
Solid game, if it fits your tastes

A very enjoable mix of platformer/metroidvenia and pokemon.
But sadly the last dungeon killed the fun due to an insane difficulty spike
I think they adjusted that a bit by now, but it was a pain for me.

I am not a big fan of horror.
But this game builds a nice athmoshere without relying on jump scares or gore.
The story it tells is really interesting and till the very end hard to expect what happens.

I really enjoyed weeb souls.
Just in the later part of the game, the church area was such a labyrinth, it was a real pain.
If you like souls-likes, you should give this a try.

This is a pretty good roguelite.
You explore the almost never ending temple with a lot of monsters, bosses and nice mechanics
I didnt bother to go for the true ending
but I enjoyed the the trip to the normal ending.

At first I was tempted to drop the game several times.
but due to my crave for metroidvenia games I eventually pulled through
and I would say the journey I got out of it was worth it.
The game is kinda weird, but if you give it a chance, its really worth it

This game is hard to describe
it's weird, it's fun and even more weird.
but it never gets boring due to the many forms you can change into and the many dungeons to explore

This was my first dragon quest game.
And I really enjoyed it.
It scratches every jrpg itch there is.
The game has what I always enjoyed about final fantasy.
It's a great jrpg, simple as that.

This game is though, really though.
As I noticed how though the game is, I honestly turned the rookie mode on.
This made the game enjoyable, half of the skulls is useless, but when you get a good skull
Damn it makes fun to run around and kill the enemies.
it's also a roguelite game, so if you struggle and die, your next run wil be like 0,1% easier.

This game feels so much like Hades, its incredible
almost every aspect of the gameplay feels like hades.
Just the story and grahpics are different.
But damn, it feels like hades

For me, this was by far the weakest Yakuza
the jump from the remaked 2 to the remaster 3 was pretty rough
But the roughest part was the boring story.
It also makes no real diffrence for the whole thing called Yakuza

well….it was okay

A very refreshing up after the down I had from Yakuza 3
It nicely picks up all the previus yakuzas and answeres some open questions.
I also liked the new combat styles from the other characters.

This one was pretty rough for me.
The first chapter was so slow and made it hard for me to enjoy it.
The start of the next chapter just continued to drag on but it got finally better when I reached the mountain area.
The third chapter was a real enjoyable breeze, the dancing that came and everything was super enjoyable.
the fourth chapter finally had some more action. Just hat new char was not really to my liking.
And well the final chapter……it was epic as usual

it's a yakuza game
it's good
but for me probably one of the worse one
…..I bet because it doesnt have enough majima

For once I managed to find someone to play a coop game with (Hi Cat wave)

This game is a blast, good platforming, good puzzles. Funny story, very funny and good story.
It simply ticks all boxes.

Most puzzles are really focused to cooperate, so a voice chat is basically a must.

The only thing which was a bit of a bummer, that there was no option to turn off the split screen, which I would have preffered for over the net coop.

Nice little puzzler in which you play with your perception to mostly change sizes of objects.

Gameplay is really nothing impressive here.
I considered dropping it twice in that short time of the game.
But the nice story and the voice acting actually made me pull through.

Would probably have worked better as audio book

Ahhh yes Forza Horizon 5…..
I had a lot of fun with this game.
Didn't play racing games for a long time, but…
… if you look past the single player expierence, the multiplayer is sadly still riddled with bugs.
The season list is also still riddled with bugs

I finished all the base races and the "story" and counted the game completed for me.
Kinda sad they have such a big problem with bugs.

This one was hard to gauge for me.
Everyone compared it to paper mario, but the only paper mario I played was origami king.
And the combat and simliar had nothing in common with it.

I guess I lacked nostalgia for that part.
it was still a good and fun turn based RPG with reaction/tming based attacks.
The story overall was nice but took too long to get interesting,
but I would not rate it 5/5.
Still good though

KIRUI-CHAN! MAJIMAAAAA!

I really had a blast with all 3 Yakuza games, sadly I skimmed through the side quests and ignored the minigames since I was on a timer.
All 3 games are leaving gamepass this month so I tried my best to finish them in time (which I did)

But the main story and the side quests I played were super interest and fun, especially majima is always good for a laugh.
The combat was varried and fast enough to keep it interesting enough

All good games

I am really split on this one, it's a nice game.
But it just so happens to release with really simliar games and just can't measure up to, for example, Hades.
I think my biggest problem was to stay interested in the game.
The Game barely has any story and that does not help.

This game is an awesome adventure!
Not much to say here without spoiling anything.
A little bit of platforming, a little bit of "simon says" and a lot of epical astro music

I really loved the trun based combat on this one
I would have enjoyed a bit more story in total
But how the combat played out with the skills and breaking the enemies and all was awesome
Didn't expect such a challenge from the final boss though.

Sadly the achievements for this game are broken.
The game were fun but, especially riding doggy!
But it got a bit worse cause how the wall jump is done.
Would have loved more levels with the dog though.

Awesome music!
Awesome visuals!
Awesome battle mechanics!
…..sadly the story falls super short. It really didn't help the story that there were 8 seperate stories without any connection to each other.
and split in chapters mixed inbetween.
But the most frustrating part for me was, that they introduce battle mechanics and the optinal hard bosses at the end just block them all.
All the optional stuff they built it just the way to be annoying.

It's Psychonauts!
After a long time a sequel.
I really enjoyed the Story and the gameplay.
short review 10/10

I didn't expect much from this game, but I really had my share of fun.
The only ting that fell short for me, was the character selection.
Since you basically only play one character actively, I always used the Main Character.
But the gameplay was fun and quirky, the story was nice.

Love this game! Awesome atmosphere.
And I am really into cardgames like this.
This was a first for me to have a cardgame with a open map in which you can walk around.
I personally still fought every enemy on the map for the rewards.
The only thing I could complain about, is that a lot of story related stuff is tied to chance encounters.
For example I finished the game and still have not encountered the seamstress.

I have a really hard time judging here.
since the game get's removed, I really rushed it.
Knowing that there is a lot of optional stuff and NG+ it feels a bit like I am missing a bit
But my goal was to finish the main story and I finished that.
The story was really good and became more epic with each part.
Aside from that it felt like a typical Tales of(JRPG). I also tuned down the difficulty to easy to save time on grinding and fight times.

A really charming story wrapped in a walking simulator.
The contrast between the dark and light visuals were really nice.
But it was good the game wasn't too long.
The lack of gameplay started to get boring

Well, well.
This was my first "Torchlight", so I can't say it's not "Torchlight"
But the game still feels not that great. A lot of stuff feels like it was supossed to be a MMO but got scraped midway
I would say it's okay, at best.

This game was really a bag of mixed feelings for me.
I do not like first-person games at all, but Supraland pushed all the right buttons beside of that.
I really enjoyed it, the collecting, the exploring, the puzzles.
it's really a fun game

A really fun twist for the Darksiders games!
I played the game alone (Want to buy friends)
But it was still very enjoyable.
the "Metroidvenia" part with a chapter select was a bit awkward and seemed forced
but otherwise from that the prequel story was also very interesting
Darksiders 4 when?

This was my first Shantae game.
and the first thought that came to me: They are damn good at making you visit the same level 100 times.
Also it felt a bit like Monster Boy to me with the dances.

It was a really fun game, but a few more levels would not have hurt.
I did not play the DLCs cause I did not feel like paying for them on EA Desktop.

Furi was at times really frustrating.
The enemies signal an attack but attack a bit later, so you are too early with the block
it's all just learning when every enemy actually attacks.
Besides of that it had some really nice Boss Fights and interesting Story.

It was kinda nice to get back into a racing game after years.
It did not have too much beside racing to get me confused.
But the optional Microtransactions were a bit bothersome.
"Yay I found a nice car!"….go to the store to purchase it…..
Besides of that when I reached the top3 it was a bit of a grind for the last ones.
But I really licked to explore the map to find cars

It was a really fun game.
But I actually made only one playthrough and did not bother wih Boss Cells.
Maybe I will go back to the game in the future, but for now I will priorize backlog instead.

it's kinda sad that they still have no online coop after all this time.
Even though they promised it "shortly after release"
Non the less I had my share of fun, but I would recommend a controler over Mouse/Keyboard

Indie Pikmin!
That was the whole thing I fealt about it.
There were/are quite some serious bugs at release, which will hopefully be fixed over time.
Aside from that I had my share of fun with it, but it probably helped that I like pikmin

Honestly, don't know what to say about control.
The story was kinda interesting, but also super weird, the ending felt unsatisfying to me.
I had some quite serious bugs, whose are known for a long time, and even crashes.
I am personally not a fan shooters, but the throwing around of stuff was fun, the energy system was with that a bit limiting though.

In general I would say Monster Sanctuary is a very good and fun game.
The only thing I really didn't like about it, is that the last dungeon is way too hard.
I tried several times and burned through all my resources to beat it, but always failed.
But the way there was really fun.
Also they announced an easy mode.

This is a tough cookie.
The game has a lot of potential, but it seems like it failed in most of it.
The combat is mostly boring, the exploring too empty.
The Story is kinda interesting, but get's lost in the world.

It was a very fun game.
But I didn't like it enough to play it past the story.
Also I am not good enough at this.
But the story was a nice ride
