I think this was a pretty good HOG all in all. It had a few nice detectevy thingies going for it. Somehow still not understandable how the rookie get's to do all the work, while the pro is apparently not doing a thing. But than we already know our role and are awesome in it! We can do this!
Sry, HOG reviews are always short :D
Oh, I'd totally would love it they made a Sin Series out of this!

Recommendation? Yes

Point and Click and War - which is the monthly theme thingy. So yeah, finally got rid of that. I didn't enjoy the humour that much tbh. Whereas the story was good enough. And it somehow reminded me of Iron First and Shan Lang (or whatever that was called).
The Main Character and his female Sidekick totally annoyed me. The point and click action luckily was not as ridiculous as they can get - still I had a guide open the whole time, bc for the most parts p&c's seem to much a hassle to me nowadays. Sad, but yeah, that's how it is.

Recommendation? Fan of German P&Cs? Go for it

What can I say? This was a lot of fun! The concept of switching pictures and that way managing to progress in the story seemed intriguing. Btw there is no text or audio story. It's completely told via the pictures. Which is great fun. At times I really had trouble figuring out how to do it, since you not only swap them and then just let it happen, but you also have to move the pictures while everything is in the move and that is really the point where it got super complicated. Ad turning pictures and the whole thing just turns into some chaotic mess xD
Still it was really awesome. I'd totally like another one of those!

So I didn't get sick. Not enough time I guess. After all only 22 minutes. Almost not worth it to even put the wristbands on. Still better safe than sorry. So what is this? Apparently the first game of a walking simulator series. Never heard of them, but got it for free, so whatever. Don't get how this is horror tagged. Again: Whatever. We walk around - walking sim, remember? - collect mushrooms - no idea why - and skulls - totally an idea why, bc we need them to progress. Cute, massive fox inc and then it maybe gets darker? I guess I was more anxious of what might happen, than what really happened. Bc nothing scary happened! It was… anti climatic af!
But it was over super quick. So woho.
No hidden LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? No

I originally got this game to play it with a friend. I even got a copy for said friend. Guess what happened…
So now I played it all by my lonesome. It was fun. At times I wished I'd played it with somebody, but yeah, I didn't.
So I played as Kirk. Bc I wanted to play it a second time as Spock. But here we are, I'm not (right now) replaying it. Bc I won't manage the hard mode. So I don't care that much. It was not mind blowing good. It was nice enough. Lots to shoot. Stuff to scan. Things to learn.
Hidden LEWD rating: No? No.
Gay-ship: Dunno….
Recommendation? Yeah, I guess a ST fan should play it! xD

Oh. My. God.
So I already dated birdies. And semi-cats. And animal men. Who weren't animal, obv. The birdies were birdies, unless you deactivated the birdie part. I also had a thing with a goldfish - it's still haunting me though.
But here. Cats. Full time cats.
I should just end the review here, shouldn't I?
Ok, no. More. MORE!
Cats for the most part.
We land on an island, which is almost impossible to get at, apart from one entry point at sea. No birds can get here and fish… apart from that one point neither. Nor human. So stranding there is almost impossible. Though they didn't manage at some point. And now science. We try studying the cats. But it's getting weird from the first night on. And after that time is very limited, bc… we turn into a cat. Luckily there are six scientists we play! So fear not, we can still solve this whole situation and curse and stuff! And date all the (six) cats! There are more, bc… oh my, there are only cats on this island! Don't ask me what they ate until humans came by to feed them :D
I really didn't like the drawing style, bc I'd normally would go for more pretty. But it certainly grows on you. It really does! And the clouds and water might have inspired me to try out some clouds and water in my painting :D
Big negativ thing - which didn't influence my rating through - there. is. no. skip. button! There is NO way to see what choices you already made - unless you keep a list right from the start. There is something in the guides. Take that and be happy! :D
For Ravenpaws sake I had to do it even one extra time. Which is a lot, bc you already do it…. er, 2 happy endings, 1 super short bad one, one longer bad one, another long bad one… yeah, so at least 5 times. No skipping. Five. Times. Well, even six. Or more. Oh well.
Hidden LWED rating: …. cats?
Gay-Ship: Well I liked McMurphy best with the third vet, who is male. So there you go. Btw, I liked the whole thing best with queer couples :D
Recommendation? Yes. Period.

As far as I understood, this is the remake of the first Tomb Raider game. It's not my first game with Lara Croft, but… yeah, back to the origin. I like the newer games better. Mostly bc the controls are better. But also bc the enemies make more sense. I just don't get how any animal would survive in a sealed of location. A snake - ok, maybe. Or spiders or anything small and wriggly. OK! But wolves, bears, big cats? Yeah, sry. I don't get it. Weird, weird, weird. I prefer the reanimated dead monsters. They don't make sense to start with, so nothing to explain here anyway. But keep the wolves! And bears! Ok, I guess I made my point.
How is Lara not freezing her butt off? I'll never get it. In the newer games she at least sometimes wears a bit more. But this? At the start of the game? Yeah, I'm freezing, just looking at that. Not even her nice butt helps keeping warm…
I'm not good at jumping games. Another genre I'll probably never master and I'm happy to live with - I really should stick to HOGs and VNs I guess -.- - so I had a few problems with this girl. Lots of frustration and lots of miss jumps. Also LOADS of deaths. I kinda collected them. Sadly I didn't take notes on how many I collected by the end. It were a lot. The game didn't tell me either. Which is kinda sad. I guess most ppl wouldn't wanna know though :D
Topping the jumping off, I was even worse at fighting. This slow motion, jumping to the side and bam - headshot? Yeah, total disaster. We'll not talk about this.
Still I liked the story. It will not be my favourite Lara Croft game - not my favourite in general - but that's ok. Been there, done that!
Hidden LEWD rating: Look at her. She sacrifices body warmth for boobs and butts.
No gay-ship included
Recommendation? Uh… maybe? I guess? Probably yes, if you like Lara Croft. But then you already played this :D

Remember how I suffer from Motion Sickness? This is a first-person game, so I started out with my wristbands, but eventually stopped wearing them, bc I somehow didn't need them. I never felt nauseous. So whatever they did, they did good!
First time around I ofc tried using everything, but things didn't really work out. You can only use, what you need at a certain time in the game. Which was a bit irritating. Also up to the end I mixed up using E (inventory) and clicking to use something. So whenever I wanted to interact with something I instead opened my inventory. Wooooow.
I missed three achievements. Or more like: didn't play the game a second time to get them. Most reason: Not sure I can do the time limited one and I don't think the game is that good with counting. Or I might be wrong and you do indeed need two playthroughs to get it. Well, I'm not doing it. This is me trying to not care about every achievement *cringes*
As to the game itself. I really liked it. The story totally got me. You're starting out with loads of questions and slowly things become clearer. Until the end appears out of the blue and there doesn't seem to be an explanation. So lots of guesswork - and Steam discussions. I'm still not really sure what to make of the whole end. Non the less I liked the game a lot and I might think about it a while :D
Hidden LEWD rating: She's basically naked and you take off her breast and look inside - she's mechanic, so nothing LEWD there :D

Recommendation? Yes!

I once already tried playing this and stopped for some reason. So when I started this, it felt soooo familiar, like coming home in a way. Not quite, but, yeah very familiar. Doing the first missions was pretty easy and then I came to the point where I last stopped and I realized why I did. I still had trouble getting there. (It was the part in the tunnel, which last time made me give up btw.) So yeah, still half way to go and encounter new missions. Sadly towards the end the saving failed me, sooo that was uncomfortable.
I'm glad I did this. But I still like the newer ones better. Yes, mostly bc of graphics. I'm that shallow :D
Recommendation? Yes. I'ts Hitman after all!

Ok, this was quite unexpected tbh.
Firstly I had trouble getting into it. At least a bit. Not knowing what this was about it was irritating and a bit slow to get into it. Then there are loads of ways to fail. So that's… uhm, interesting xD
I can't really say that much about the game it self, bc what ever I'd say after finishing, would be spoilers. So… mhm. Yeah. Nothing to say about it :D
I liked it in the end I guess, although the whole God thing is not my forte and I encountered a few annoyed moments, bc it just seems the same (for me) ridiculous stuff. I don't mean do belittle religion or anything, it's just not my thing. Plus in the end it's not even that hurray and nice and noble and what not, but rather selfish. Ok, yeah, I was not gonna talk about it! Right, I'll shut up.
Sadly there are a few writing errors in the english version. Mostly words being weirdly torn appart, but also missing words and sometimes wrongly put together to form sentences. Luckily the riddles should all still work out. Maybe the understanding of the game not all the time though :D
No LEWD rating nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? Kinda, yeah?

I'm no big fan of 2D, platform or jumping games. My library probably suggests that already. But I got this one gifted and now challenged to play it. So I did. I even started liking it in between and then… I didn't anymore. I get how the story and set up and everything is cute and ppl might totally be into this game. I'm just not.
So let's start with the obvious: The jumping/flying. Right to the end I never quite managed to get this boy flying. Took me way too long to take off. At some point we even loose the flying aspect and are reduced to jumping (and a little bit of flapping our wings) and at this point I was close to abandoning the game. I couldn't make him do what I wanted. I was even willing to make other ppl play this part for me, bc… I couldn't. My last attempt was doing it not with controller but with mouse&keyboard and you wont believe it, but I managed! It was not pretty but it worked. Even the fighting seemed to become easier! Should have known this from the start I guess…
Fighting is btw a good point. I am not good with fighting. In some games I'm doing not bad, but in others… I am. In this one it was a mix of doing bad and somehow managing? I didn't like it, but it was ok I guess.
Collecting. I love collecting stuff! So collecting coins is totally up my fort! Saaaadly I'm even worse in race/parkour stuff than already in fighting or flying/jumping. So I failed. I never managed to get this stupid cannon parkour done. I was three times super close and crashed right in front of the finishing line. Somebody reminded me, that maybe we don't have to get 100% in every game. This hurts, bc the last 6 achievements all evolve around this stupid parkour, but here I am, giving up on it. I did complete the main story, so that's fine, but still. SO annoying!
No hidden lewd-rating not gay-ship included
Recommendation? If you like 2D/platformer/jumping games, yes. Otherwise: No! Don't even let ppl gift it to you! *hides*

I never even knew this game existed, until I scrolled through certain steam genres and was like: oh it's also a puzzly game, I want this!
Sadly the Achievements seem to be broken. Luckily I don't have to replay it therefore to get them all :] xD
Sadly there don't seem to be more than this first Episode. Which is a shame bc it's a nice start and the story seems interesting, so do the mechanics of the game. Although I did have to use my anti motion sickness wristbands. But that was ok. It was pretty clear from the start so I was safe.
I very much liked the concept of only changing things, by running a simulation with ppl in cryosleep - or something. They might have called it differently. It was nice how you could influence the way they perceived their teammates and therefore in the end probably the outcome of the mission - which we will not see though, bc there probably won't be anything after this one.
Hidden LEWD Rating: Not rly?
Gay-ship: Austin/Art? Probably.
Recommendation? I'd say yes. But since there will not be anything after this, maybe not so much? Sadly.

Wow! My Time At Portia made it under my Top 10 longest played games on steam. Not really a surprise, but still. Wow, that was a lot of time!
In between I worried a bit it might become to repetitive and therefore boring, but no, that worked out, bc I still had some main quests to go and still some personal goal and still some achievements. So yeah, that worked out pretty good.
Normally I'm all for farming games. MTAP is no farming game though. It's a building game with a bit of farming on the side. Your main focus is on constructing things like machines or building pieces - bridge parts or such. You're out to help improve your town - Portia - to make it more popular among the free cities. While you might have one or two tourists at the start of the game, you really notice how more and more ppl come to visit which is a fun side fact I think.
Fighting in these kinda games normally totally annoys me - like why do we have to go fight blobs (sry, can't remember the name right now) in Stardew Valley and why are there always monsters in Harvest Moon games? - and often I'm getting too frustrated with the whole fighting system. I worried this might be the same here. Turns out I'm very bad with fire enemies. I really, really can't handle them properly. Even with being top equipped and having the best weapon that is. Which btw is SO FUCKING OVERPOWERED! Yk how they make you worried about the boss on lvl 100 in the deepest mines? Yeah, it's a joke if you have that one weapon dropped by that one enemy - aka endboss of the main game. Take it and slaughter them all! It's basically a piece of cake!
Which leads us to achievements. Apparently they have changed a bit over time. Looking at guides I sometimes had to get more or less than mentioned in the guide. Also - which I really think the game should point out! - Emily is probably the intended romance, bc her achievement is a true pain in the butt if you don't pay attention to it. I didn't, bc I was like: oh well gotta replay the game anyway for all the romance cheevos. Then I tried getting them with a backlog save and that worked out pretty nicely - although, yes, heartbreak on my part every time I divorced from Arlo sob Anyway. You can do Emilys super long achievement even if you were married in between. As long as you started with the whole thing and did everything at start, she will do her part even while you're married. So if you divorce end of summer in year two you can totally still get it. Which is good to know imho. Probably you're all bored out by now. Well, tough luck :P
Hidden LEWD rating: None basically. Apart from certain bouncy booby on the seesaw. The rest is very decent. Like going to bed. Fully. Clothed!
Gay-ship: Basically everybody works out gay. So my gay ship… have to be my male MC/Arlo.
Recommendation? Yes.
