Mid-September 2024

I just finished the 1st game of the ME Trilogy and I can say I really enjoyed it. Not a big fan of space-y stories and older graphics but I think this game aged really well, story is interesting and I liked how I don't have to scramble for ammo in this game, I just have to make sure my gun doesn't overheat. I typically play games in normal difficulty but I played this a level higher and it still wasn't hard.
Definitely something I can recommend thus far and I'll keep this updated as I play through the remaining 2 games!

Very fun rogue-lite so far, one of the better ones I've played and I'm really enjoying it. It's not too difficult I think (managed to reach the final boss in my 5th attempt) and definitely something I can recommend for rogue-lite lovers! I'm still in the midst of figuring out how to defeat the final boss but I'll keep you posted (hopefully in October's post)

Very chill game, one of the few games where I don't really have to stress for anything, very little time sensitive events and a very relaxing time before I sleep. Would recommend for a low-commitment game! Nothing too special though but it does remind me of Fantasy Life (iykyk)! Yes, I'm still playing this but definitely not as frequent..
7/10

I actually played through this a few years back and couldn't really get into, but thanks to Amitte's suggestion, I gave it another shot. I quite enjoyed it but man my eyes and brain hurt from trying to find discrepancies. Great game, highly recommended and I can see why it has such positive reviews, it's just a little annoying how a decision made on day 10 could affect an outcome on day 20 (as an example). I didn't complete it either but I think I got close enough to the end and I was not in the mood to restart from the earlier days to fix my in game finances.
6.6/10

Played this as a part of PAGYWOSG picks and I quite enjoyed it, it's basically a tactile puzzle game where you interact with a monster head (which exposes the puzzles). Fun, short game and definitely casual and colourful enough to have a good time.
6.8/10

Ahhhh, Coffee Talk… Fun fact was initially, I thought I had no interest in this sort of game but eventually got it in one of the Humble bundles. I remember seeing people saying good things about this and I was looking for something chill to play before I sleep. I really enjoyed this game ngl and now I'm quite excited to get my hands on the sequel (after clearing some of my backlog of course).
I think if you want a chill time and an interesting story, this could be your game as essentially the gameplay is just finding the right ingredients to the coffee you want to make!
7.7/10

Very similar to Metal Hellsinger but this is with a roguelike spinoff. I enjoy roguelike/roguelite games and this is no difference. I did beat the game but that's really all I did, I didn't really try out new characters but I think it's a pretty cool game. Honestly, I felt that the rhythm portion of the game didn't really play a huge part as I don't think I really 'shot' in rhythm, but still managed to beat the game, or maybe I just did it subconsciously. I definitely found this much more forgiving than Metal Hellsinger. I might get back into it in the future though!
6.8/10

I have to say I enjoyed this game much more than I thought I would. It's a really cute puzzle game where you shift around portions of the map to progress, it wasn't too difficult and I would say I enjoyed it quite a bit. The story is very wholesome and the art is absolutely fantastic (hand-drawn)! Music is great as well! Highly recommend if you want something kind of cozy but still kind of puzzle-y.
7.4/10

Cool game, funny story and interesting dialogues. I'm not the biggest fans of Boomer Shooters but this was pretty fun! It's quite annoying sometimes because of how each characters require a specific gun to defeat but I guess that keeps things interesting! Music is great as well! However, towards the end of the game, I was hoping it would end soon because of the multiple guns I have and the need to constantly change between them for many different characters. (I especially hated it when the DJ and the Bondage dude came together)
5.8/10

Fun and cute. I think this was one of the easier point-and-click puzzle games I played because typically I would need a guide. This was much more straight forward in my opinion and you kinda know what you're looking out for. It had an interesting plot and the art was cute! Recommended if you want to use your brain at 40% capacity.
6/10

This game was FUN, I enjoyed playing it while watching a video because it is SO satisfying. Basically, you're a manager of Hell and you try to keep sinners from escaping Hell. It plays like a sort of card game, where you can combine cards to upgrade your structure. Extremely satisfying when it actually comes off and you just start destroying the sinners as if they were mosquitoes. Really enjoyed it much more than I should and I'll be keeping my eyes out for something similar!
7.9/10

Beat it thanks to the recommendation from Amitte, and I really enjoyed it! Pretty chill walking simulator and story was very interesting! Art was beautiful and I can now see why I've always seen people say good things about this! Do give this a try if you enjoy this sort of game like Firewatch!
7.5/10

I liked this game, many guns available to fit your playstyle and story is cute. This is my first Ratchet and Clank game but I think that wasn't an issue, I still had much fun although I did miss out of some references.
6.8/10

No offense but this was too weird and abstract for my liking. Really tried getting into it but I just couldn't continue unfortunately.
1/10

I quite liked this game although it does kind of stress me out at times, many ways to complete the level but there's always a best way. I had to drop it however because the game crashed twice on a specific level and I just couldn't give a damn to restart that level again. Surprisingly, it crashed on both my PC and Steam Deck so that's that. I do recommend the game itself but I hope it doesn't crash for yours…
4.5/10 mainly because of the crashes
