A game so bad yet so good. Port performance-wise WOTS4 is really damn buggy, and for some reason it always loads slowly during every start up. However the game itself is very good. If I had to describe it, I guess WOTS 4 would be like a multiple choices VN in the form of an action RPG/sandbox hybrid. What do I mean when I said "like a visual novel"? You see, the game is very much designed for multiple playthroughs. In every playthrough, you are free to take missions which will lead you to a different ending path based on the missions' alignment. Failing to do certain actions/missions will also have their own repercussions and may also affect the fate of NPCs in future playthroughs. It's very hard to explain the magic of the game without spoiling the game. In any case, a playthrough without fooling around (so only story missions) will take about two hours, so you can get a new ending in one sitting.

The combat of the game is not static either. Each weapon type has hundreds of different technique styles, and you are free to use whichever one suits you best. However, I would recommend playing on Easy the first time around. While the combat is skill-based, at its core it is very much stat-based and therefore very unfair, unlike Dark Souls. It's brutal and your weapons would not be able to keep up with your enemies on the very first playthrough. As the game is designed for multiple playthroughs, the higher difficulty settings pretty much necessitates upgrading your weapons.

Despite all its issue, Way of the Samurai 4 is a good game to play. The game has a unique feel that can only be experienced on that particular series.

Got this for cheap a while back and finally got the chance to play it. To my surprise, it was actually pretty good, probably even better than CoD games. The WWII shooter has you playing as a sharpshooter reporter (yes, it still plays into the trope of a lone soldier) who covers the war live in Poland, so the perspective feels somewhat different from other WWII games. Deaths at least don't feel as cheap as when you peek around the corners like in CoD. I also like how the stealth mechanic is built into the game. It doesn't feel forced, you have the option of going guns blazing if you so desire, and most importantly it doesn't automatically go to plan B if a guard spots you. You can also distract guards by throwing stones, something which isn't often seen in many stealth games.

This WWII shooter is built on CryEngine (Crysis' engine), which makes the game visually impressive considering its price. Despite being quite enjoyable though, unfortunately the game isn't memorable in the slightest. Definitely worth a try if you like FPS games and provided you can get this for cheap though.

Why not 100%?: Date-specific achievement requires me to play on a holiday.

An arcade puzzle game where you play as a kid searching for her toys in her house's nightmarish cellar. The game definitely reminds of me of childhood fear of the dark. It doesn't overstay its welcome and its low price point is quite enticing. Definitely a hidden gem.

I never played Groove Coaster's mobile version before. But as a rhythm game fan, I feel obligated to buy this game. Maybe it's just because of the drought of arcade rhythm games in Steam, but I think the game is very fun despite its apparent input lag. Like what I explained in my review, my main annoyance with the game is its DLC pricing model.

Planning to play more of the game though.

An FMV game with QTE inputs. It was actually quite unique. Unfortunately on harder difficulties the game tend to be unrealistically hard with near-impossible QTE commands. Still definitely worth a go though.
