Report 94: April - May 2026

I had a short leave that turned out medical, so I spent most of the april in the comfort of my flat, hence so many games played.

Clean Break - Short psychological game about breaking stuff. Had some fun achievements. 6/10
Growing My Grandpa - Pretty cool horror game with weird concepts and some cool-ass visuals. A bit heavy on the text side though. 7,5/10
Infectonator 3: Apocalypse - I loved Infectonator games way back then, and it’s still fun. I should aslo finish that Survivors one. 7,5/10
Wordle 3 - Although this is the cheapest-looking word game franchise, it’s still a word game and I enjoy those. What I didn’t enjoy is the fact that the Flowers section near the end is pretty much impossible to beat without hints and it took about 75% of the playtime. 5/10
Wordle 4 - And that’s the installment I’ll play last, that’s for sure. This one is just lazy and extremely short. The only reason I got 3 hours on it is because I left it on for cards farming. 2/10
Black Souls II - I still can’t believe it’s on Steam, feels like a fever dream. It’s obivously unplayable if you don’t install the content patch though. Anyway, it’s a huge step up from the previous one. If you’re okay with very questionable h-parts. 9/10
Water Womb World - Eh. I liked GMG way more. 5,5/10
Tharsis - This is a pretty fun dice-based survival game where you have to repair your ship and manage your crew on their way to Mars. You’ll get used to carefully plan everything after a few runs, but it’s short enough so it doesn’t get too boring. 7,5/10
BALL x PIT - Very fun and engaging at firtst, but gets more tedious when you go for the achievements completion. It’s stll really good, don’t get me wrong. 7,5/10
Crush the Castle - Never played those in the past, but it was pretty fun (although a bit rage-inducing sometimes). 7/10
Ricihi City - I had problems connecting to the servers for more than a year now, and in May the game finally stopped connecting at all. It’s a shame, since I really love mahjong. Riichi City was going full-coomer mode with gacha characters and their outfit (unlike Mahjong Soul), which may be a problem for someone, but it had quite a few cool collaborations. I got to 6th dan on 3p Mahjong and I didn’t even bother to get the 1st dan on 4p since it felt so painfully slow after 3p (and I was playing mostly with newbies that took their sweet time discarding the tiles.) My only hope is that the war will someday be over, we’ll hopefully stop with the internet blocking bullshit, and I’ll be playing that game again. 9,5/10
Panzer Dragoon Remake - Really fun, what I can say. Whoever thought making an achievement for playing 100 hours was a good idea is a crazy person though. 7,5/10
Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders - Never read it. It’s a simplified point’n’click that throws occasional puzzles here and there to make you scratch your head a bit. Overall I had a good time, but some of the deduction segments are kinda annoying since you have no idea what the game wants you to pick exactly. And also an achievement for observing everything is ridiculuous and ruins the game flow. I had to go through the game with a guide, since getting it the natural way is almost impossible. 7/10
Cryptmaster - An extremely fun dungeon crawler with typing mechanic that controls pretty much everything in the game. The grinding can a be a bit tedious, and I encountered a few bugs here and there, but nonetheless I loved it. 8/10
Cooking Witch - Weird little game with hilariously fucked-up sounding premise. Had to grind for a while for that last achievement. Nothing much to say about it. 6/10

Report 93: Janurary - March 2026

Arctic Eggs - For whatever reason, I thought I’d be getting something absurd but ulitmately disturbing, like Mouthwashing. It’s nothing like Mouthwashing. The gameplay took a bit to get used to, and I absolutely HATED it at first (since I was pretty bad at it). Don’t get me wrong, even when I got better, it was still rage-inducing at moments (especially getting the achievement for clearing the final task on hard), but it was satisfying to pull off. The humor is extermely lol so random and unfunny most of the time though. 6/10
Bounty of One - This one is an actualy hard Vampire survivors clone. The main feature is that you have to fully stop moving to shoot at enemies, and it changes up the way these things are played drastically. I got some of the hardest achievement but then they got removed for whatever reason, which sucks. 7/10
This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker - Short idle/clicker game. You progress way too fast, which kinda ruins the whole poijnt. 4/10
Berry Bury Berry - EXTREMELY satisfying gameplay loop with a meh horror plot. I’d play more of it in any form though. 7,5/10
Xenosensory - Short horror-ish clicker game. Satisfying where it counts. 6/10
Space Rock Breaker - Short idle/clicker game. Nothing to write home about, but the stone processing part is really satisfying.
Loan Shark - Pretty interesting and fun short horror story. The UI is pretty bad. Since it’s purely story-driven game, the fishing minigame’s really basic. Wish that wasn’t the case, but oh well. 6,5/10
Fahrenheit - Back when I was a kid and this was released, I used to think that was the coolest shit ever. Now I replayed it and man it’s the dumbest shit ever. Though everything bad here is hilariously so, so it’s not that much of a problem. The stealth segments are still awful. 7/10
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy - Finally completed that one after taking a long pause for a few years. The game’s great. It’s really funny how heavily localized it is for a western audience, despite the fact it’s getting harder and harder to explain obviously japanese motives, especially in the later parts, where they kinda gave up and winged it. Great games anyway. 9,5/10

Report 92: September - December 2025

s.p.l.i.t - A short game by Klubnika. It’s a hacker puzzle type of game, I usually suck at those, but surprisingly I turned out to be competent enough to figure it all on my own. Dark as usual. I liked it. 8/10
Unfair Flips - Incremental game about coin flips. Not much to say here. The endings were pretyy annoying to get. 5/10
The Night of the Scissors - Really short horror game 6/10
Mitoza - Surreal thing-y. 6/10
Hank Straightjacket - …Ok? Cool dialogue mechanic you got there?.. I guess?.. I just wish I was somewhat more invested and it wasn’t kinda boring? For some reason I thought the full release is gonna be a choose your own adventure game, but it’s a time-travel-puzzle-whatever, skipppp 3/10
The Return of Obra Dinn - NOW. This is a good ass puzzle game. 9,5/10
Splatter - Pretty fun top down shooter. 7/10
Energey Survivors - A pretty bad Survivors clone, abandoned, unpolished and unfinished on top of that. 2/10
The Hundred Line - This one took almost all of this year to beat. God, Uchikoshi used to write decent plots, but now I’m completely dissapointed. The writing in his routes is so fucking bad and it’s all the same tropes he uses over and over and over again I’m starting to think he’s doing this as some elaborate joke. The game’s good though and the whole second half of the game is pretty insane. 9/10

Happy holidays ya’ll

Yolk Heroes is an idle game. Not the usual type, though. Didn’t really like how progression felt. Just buy a lot op hp restoring items, grind a bit, and you’re golden. Felt a bit boring sometimes, but kept me invested enough to complete it.
Backspace Bouken - that was a fun one, even though being the perfectionist I am, it was somewhat frustrating at times I think I’ll return to it and complete it some day.
Bear With Me - indie point’n’click that’s rough around some of its edges, but it was fine for what it is. Sucks that I didn’t buy the complete version together with Lost Robots, since it’s tied to all the other achievements I’ve already got in this version, and my OCD won’t let me just play the LR. Guess I’m not playing it at all.
Really enjoyed Look Outside. Just the concept of a closed-off space with your cozy flat as your base and so many other things clicked for me.
Necrosmith is a weird RTS (I guess?), where you build your units out of different body parts. They’re moving automatically unless you give them orders, but the orders SUCK ASS. The only useful strategy there is is to leave a few stronger units right on the base with “Defend” (or whatever it’s called in English localization) and take direct control of another powerful (also prefferably fast) unit to actually get some shit done. As far as I’ve seen, the second game improves ordering your units around a lot.
Black Souls turning up on Steam was a weird and pleasant surprise. Can’t wait for the second one.
Fishing Vacation - horror game with GameBoy aesthetics. Not really that scary.
I Live Under Your House - very rough around the edges horror game. Much of the art presented is clearly AI-generated. Liked the DLC more.
I’ll Do It Tomorrow - felt like a student project all the way throughout, and turned out to be such. It’s fine.
Bad End Theater was pretty interesting in concept, but - hot take here - downright silly writing of everything starting with true ending really put me off. Nice art though.

My Life as an Archeologist A weird kind of an idle/clicker game. Some of the achievements were pretty annoying to get (due to RNG). 6,5/10
A Game About Digging A Hole Oddly satisfying simple game. Good for a couple hours. 7,5/10
Miside Turned out to be pretty interesting. Waiting for Endless (or whatever it’s called) Mode now. 8/10
Gnosia Took a while to click with me, but boy was it worth it. Shigemichi’s the best boy. 9/10
Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 3 I don’t know why I keep buying these. As long as it’s fun for me, I guess. 7/10
The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav It was a while since I played a point’n’click. Really liked this one. 8,5/10
Get Even Veeeery wierd game, but enjoyabele nonetheless. 7,5/10
Memoria A direct sequel to Chains of Satinav (but the direct sequel part is more of a Plot B here). Still really solid. 8/10
Tap Ninja Finally finished with this and it’s new achievements. 6/10

BABBDI Pretty interesting exploration game.7/10
Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story Pretty much the same as the previous game, the plot isn’t that interesting either. 5/10
Finn Dorset’s Institute for Livestock Replication This clicker game got me hooked for a while. It really needs some sort of offline idling mode like most of the reviews say, though. 7/10
How Fish Is Made Trippy short game. Also beaten the Mouthwashing DLC. 7/10
Paradise Killer Detective exploration game that does quite a few things right. The lore is pretty tough to comprehend at first and would surely scare me away if it wasn’t for someting I didn’t expect - heavy collect-a-thon element to the game. I swear I spent at least a couple of hours just collecting things and exploring the island without even moving the plot forward. It got me so hooked I found patience in myself to follow the plot and even be somewhat invested in it. You are free to investigate whatever you please pretty much from the get go. It turned out to be really interesting. 8.5/10

Your Amazing T-Gotchi! - depressing tamagochi with different endings. 7/10
The Were Cleaner - really enjoyable and free (!) game that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Really liked that one. Reminds me of Sacked! and some other game I can’t put my finger on right now. 8,5/10
Cozy Space Survivors - mediocre survivor game with the same bunch of missions you have to complete on a single map with different ships. Not really worth it, wasted a couple of hours to complete it anyway. 5/10
Saint Kotar - indie point’n’click adventure. There’s not much of puzzles, it’s more story-oriented, but you’ll definitely have some headscratching moments for sure. Very interesting and complicated lore, and the plot is pretty grim, although confusing at times. 8/10
No Ghost in Circus Caravan It’s probably my least favourite in No Ghost series, but it still has its charm. 7/10
Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut - I was waiting for the Pristine Cut to release to finally give it a go, and it was totally worth it. 9/10
The Travel Game - I assume it’s a precursor for No Ghost series. Pretty rough around the edges, but some charm is still there. 6/10
Mouthwashing - Holy fuck do I like my cinematic space isolation depression shit. 9,5/10
Wytchwood - Kinda addicting in the first half, but gets pretty annoying and same-y in the later half. Clearly a few hours too long for its own good. 6,5/10

I started replaying the first Deus Ex with Deus Ex: Revision. Man, still a fantastic game.
Started to play Gnosia. Definitely more gameplay-oriented than I expected.
Also started Balatro. Didn’t click for the first few runs, but boy did it click later.

Happy new year folks.

Hack_me I was kinda afraid that it’s gonna be something like Hacker Evolution, which overwhelmed me quite a while ago. Now let me tell you, it isn’t, it’s more of a shovelware-y spin on the subject, where you simply have to follow commands in order. You don’t have to think pretty much all the time. If you want to just feel yourself like a hacker without actually putting in any intellectual effort, kids do we have a Hacker Evolution at home for you. 5/10

Samorost 2 Quick and cute, although longer than the original. No hard puzzles as usual. 7/10

Lisa the First Replayed it since it was released on Steam. I honestly find it a pretty weak entry (and yeah, I know it’s the oldest one) and I H A T E the spiders parts. 6/10

Cozy Grove It was very addicting at first, but lost the charm in the latter half completely. Very, very grindy. I’m not even mad the “sequel” is going to be Netflix-only. 6/10

Deep Space Waifu I have no idea why I bought these. They’re alright, though. 6/10

Go for a Punch: Saki Sanobashii Really cool idea for a vn. Some people didn’t like what the devs ended up going for in the end, and I kinda agree, but it was still pretty good. It’s really short. Has exactly one obnoxiously loud jumpscare. 6,5/10

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse: Somewhat interesting low-poly horror that’s heavily inspired by The Lighthouse movie. Not really that scary and can really drag on in some of its segments. 6,5/10
Blade Runner 9732: Basically a tech demo. Might’ve been more interesting back when it was released and in VR. You can recreate the enchancing scene, but there’s not much interactivity besides that. 6/10
Kitty Survivors: Amateurish, but definitely better than Primal Survivors. 6,5/10
NAIRI: Tower of Shirin: A mix of VN and point’n’click adventure. Puzzles are easy but fun. Turns out it’s only a first part. 8/10
Lizard Survivors: Yet another VS clone based on a russian meme game that has gone viral. Could’ve been more fun if it had a Turbo option for speeding up the gameplay, since even during the first run ever it gets unbearably boring to play. 5/10
Resident Evil 4 (2005): Ah, RE4, my beloved. While it’s a huge detour from previous games, it’s nearly perfect. I have high hopes for the remake. 9,5/10
Chuchel: Another Amanita Design’s point’n’click. As usual, all puzzles are resolved by clicking and you have no inventory. It’s very loud, childish and slapsticky, so that might turn some people off. 7/10
Resident Evil Survivor: Not on steam. A very weird (and pretty bad) game in the franchise. Mostly so bad it’s good, especially in the voice acting department. Very weird balance - the pre-final level has no healing items (at least I never found one) and if you die, the game sends you back veeeeeery far. Somehow beat it. 6/10

I’ve also decided to revive ABC Lightning Round challenge, since I’ve been browsing my backlog and realizing I will NOT launch some of the games here unless I’m really forced to. Already beat a few games, but not posting the report on them till I’m done.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X - Not a steam game. Very odd game in the franchise, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Thanks to it, I got to taste what the OG Resident Evil titles were like. This one is pretty easy. You get a lot of ammo and herbs, none of the puzzles are too hard. The story and the voice acting are hilariously corny and weird. Steve sounds like he belong in Sonic the Hedhehog cartoon. It does’t have much of a replayability, but maybe it’s for the best, it’s somewhat long for a RE game (at least, for RE games I’ve already played). Anyway, surprisingly enjoyable. 8/10
Lust for Darkness - this is a horror walking sim funded on Kickstarter. One of those, where the devs got the bare minimum of everything for this to be considered a game. It’s not very good. There’s not much of a game, as I already said, and the game kinda underdevilers the erotic part, which was one of the selling points, at least imo. I wouldn’t said it’s downright bad, but I felt somewhat let down after completing it in an hour and half or so for the first time. It’s meh 6/10
Resident Evil 0 My least favourite RE game so far. I find inventory management extremely tedious here, it doesn’t add much to the difficulty. The first RE game I didn’t complete. I’m hesitantly started a new walkthrough, maybe I’ll change my mind. But for now, it’s not that it’s bad, but it certainly didn’t click with me the first time. 6/10
Simmiland Cute simplistic god simulator where you play the cards to make things appear and invent new stuff. Getting some of the achievements was tricky, but nothing too frustrating. 7/10
Primal Survivors A subpar VS clone. Only one map and a few types of enemies. Weapons do make your runs vary, but not much. Getting the last achievements was pretty tedious. 4/10
