I've come to realize that I like HOGs that don't have achievements actually, despite them usually being easy and short 100%, just the fact that they usually have "no hint/skip" achievements makes the enjoyment less, because I like searching for HO, but I don't like to get stuck for too long on them. lol That's pretty weird I know, but being able to use hints encourage me to not use guides, whereas if I would use guides very often if I couldn't.

This game indeed does not have achievements~And I really like the fact that the items have cohesive art style as the background so they don't stand out like a sore thumb(tbh that should be a base requirement for HOGs buuuuuuut I've played way too many that isn't like this), and also the items that you get mostly makes sense on where you should put them, and the few that isn't I can use the map location hint to help with that. The minigames are also pretty enjoyable that I didn't skip any in the main game, only 1 in the bonus chapter. But the thing I love the most about this game has to be the story. The voice acting is decent which helps with that, and several tragic stories that you can travel back in time and save the people makes it very enjoyable. There's just one thing that's so funny to me(spoiler): at the end when Gabriel is like "think about it, and while you're thinking activate this machine", and when you do the house actually starts to warp to a different location which is the point of no return. I was so shocked like, what happened to me thinking about it you're just gonna make the choice for me and force me to stay in the house now?? xDD What the actual fuck. I'm surprised the MC is so chill about that. She shouldn't be. lol

This one functions much like the last game, but unlike the last one where you go through stories of ghosts to help them, this one you travel to various countries and also helps the ghost there, but mainly to get the skull gem so that you can destroy the fire ball spirit thing that's wrecking havoc. So in this game there's less legit stories but more fetch quest like and the countries and the people there are all....stereotypical, "exotic", if I have to put a word. I can only speak for the first world because I'm Taiwanese/Chinese, it's not great, but also not horrible? The voice actor as far as I can tell is Chinese from the accent, but the voice acting itself is just bland and boring. The environment is decent and I can tell they did put in research, but it's all too "exotic" and over the top. It is an old game tho so I'll give it props that they did well enough, but still it was a bit cringe to go through. xD Also the game feels far more linear than the last game, since often I only have 1 place to go, and then to the next place etc. It's shorter as well, by one hour in fact. I still enjoyed the game, just not as much as the last one which is a shame.

I thought I wouldn't be playing more clicker/idle games, but here I am playing one because I saw a steam friend reviewed it highly. :P And having played it, I can say it is indeed really good~It has hold to click function which is awesome, and the art style and music are pretty neat. Aside from the normal clicker/prestige stuff, the unique thing is that there's a grid map with boost nodes that you can put your characters on to activate their passive ability. Your character also has boost areas like your starter has 1 point boost for the row and column he's on etc, and every prestige the boost nodes change position. It's only the prologue/demo so the characters are limited, but I imagine it can get pretty fun later on, especially if there's more special powers like maybe moving the boost nodes and such.

I played this game because of the Cyberpunk setting, since after Cyberpunk 2077 I've gotten interest in the cyberpunk world setting in general. This is a point and click/visual novel game, and honestly the visuals are great, although quite blurry at times it uses the lighting very well and builds up the world setting nicely, although I would've loved to have more clearer shot of the world like the only time when we're on the rooftop looking at the view, and that's if you actively dragged the screen all the way up. xD The music is pretty awesome for what it is, it's quite a strong presence and adds to the feeling well. There is one track at the mid section that has an ambient noise that's a high pitch ringing that made me though my ear's ringing tho, so that's not great. lol But for all the other stuff, what matters in PnC/VN is the story, and the characters, and I have to say this game fails on both fronts. The story is quite vague at the start and progresses way too quickly and throws you information at bulk at the end, the characters although having interesting designs, were bland and uninteresting. Also what the hell is the ending I feel like I'm missing something, isn't this supposed to be a standalone game?? Why is there a weird ass ending with "To Be Continued" leading right to the credits. What the hell. lol So yeah, honestly if you're not interested in the Cyberpunk setting this is a pass, but if you don't mind spending a short amount of time then play it for a bit, it's passable.

I wanted to play this game for a while now, and I think I was both excited about it since it's Supergiant's first game and I've heard great things, but also worried that it wouldn't hold up. And I was right in that it didn't really age well. For the narration aspect, I don't know what it is, but I just couldn't get into it. The novelty of it quickly wore off around half of the game, and afterwards it just ranges from "ok" to "slightly annoying". There's also the fact that the lines said often don't contain much substance, or the story it tries to tell is too vague and I couldn't follow. Speaking of story, idk if I'm just stupid or something, but a lot of times I'm just confused at what things are happening to just going with what the game tells me. Like at the very end where I have to choose between two choices, I honestly can't decide because I don't know what choosing any of the choices mean. lol And that's like the ultimate fail of a narrative driven game no? And for the gameplay, that's the one that didn't age well, and also the reason why I beat the game and won't go back for NG+ even though I did it gladly with Transistor. The controls are just finicky and weird, the combat doesn't feel good and I didn't enjoy the much if any of the weapons despite there being so many. Stuck with the hammer and bone gun thing cuz they felt the most reliable. It's just disappointing to play this, and I do believe it's because I set myself to failure with anticipating it very much, but also I don't think I could not do that, given all the reviews/opinions around the game still. A bummer, is all.

Very cute and chill idle "fishing" game where you're most of the time running a fishing pond for customers to fish in, but also with a side minigame of fishing yourself to earn cosmetic coins. It was pretty nice to have it run in the background while I suffer in Tametsi, and then tune in after a while to upgrade things and stock newer unlocked fish. Background music and sound effects does get annoying quite quick tho, so I mostly played muted. The actual fishing minigame is kinda meh, especially when you unlock harder fishes it gets quite tedious to fish up one fish, and regarding harder fish, I wish there's a single button to empty your fish tank because I accidentally put in a more difficult fish than what my current rod can fish up, so customers were quite mad at me, and I had to right click one at a time to get rid of all the fishes. ^^;

I love this game a lot, despite it frying my brain while playing it. xD In the best possible way tho, since this is a minesweeper game which I already like, and it eliminates the only thing I dislike about minesweeper: guessing. It either uses added row/column clues to assist in solving, or uses total mines and colored mine counts to help with it. And that doesn't make the puzzles easy oh no, the puzzles can get really elaborate and hard to deduct. I had to use guided video playthrough to help when I got stuck, which I'm so thankful for there being people sharing their thought process on solving. It's amazing having just a nudge in the right direction. :3 There's also alternate rules like only adjacent tiles, or hex tiles, plus the maps are in different structures and rarely square which adds to the fun. If you like minesweeper I highly recommend the game~And I'm sure to sink more time into it for the extra puzzles.
