Let me get this out of the way. For me the real Fallout games are 1 and 2. I was never a fan of the rebooted versions. Fallout 4 lacks a lot in the roleplaying aspect. Dialogue options are very shallow and apart from being able to get yourself out of trouble if you have high charisma skill there is nothing else. The game relies heavily on first person shooter aspect. As for DLCs, while I hated the storyline I really enjoyed the design of Nuka World whereas Far Harbor had some rather interesting story and atmosphere. Rest of them are not even worthy of being mentioned.

The only thing I enjoyed in Fallout 4 was building but the limitations of the non-modded game and being required to download a bunch of mods turned it into a big chore. I really hate using mods but I had to download a few for this purpose. I built a lot of things and had so much more planned like constructing a book store, gun store, clothing shop, a house for my character, a mansion for Dogmeat so on and on. Sadly I couldn't even get a mod that adds proper looking books to work and I totally gave up when I was building the clothing shop with brick materials as it's extremely difficult to work with brick materials even with mods. Despite having a mod that removes building limitations I still had a massive meltdown and ended up quitting the whole thing. I still built some things I'm happy about so I'll share them in a separate gallery.

As far as gameplay goes Witcher 2 improves upon Witcher 1 considerably while falling completely flat in the story department. Having to take sides in the hectic political battle as the neutral Witcher Geralt feels quite annoying and totally breaks the immersion. However I'm also biased towards this game because there is lots of Roche and I'm madly in love with Roche's voice actor's voice + accent so even though I was hating on the story in every step of the way, my ears were having the time of their lives everytime Roche entered the picture, and he did enter the picture constantly.

Some of the decisions in Witcher 2 can make an impact on which perspective you see the story from. I quite enjoyed this aspect. Towards the end of the first chapter you are faced with the choice of either following Roche or Iorveth. Depending on your choice, the way you experience the 2nd chapter changes completely. You get different main and side quests in the 2nd chapter and even in the final chapter you will have different side quests for each side. Iorveth's side was extremely enjoyable to play as the quests were filled with riddles and puzzles whereas everything felt extremely straightforward, bland and boring on Roche's side (even though my ears had a blast!). Roche's side had a lot of political bollocks, that don't even add anything to the main story, you were forced to partake in by stripping yourself of that neutrality Geralt is so proud to have. Whereas Iorveth's side had quite important quests that give you a lot of context about the overall story in Witcher 2. There was also humour on Iorveth's side. Iorveth's side had me giggle a few times while I found myself suffocating with boredom on Roche's side but that's all good cause again, did I mention that my ears were having a blast everytime Roche spoke? I think I might have briefly mentioned that before.

It's pretty much impossible for me to 100% this game since the last achievement I'm missing requires the game to be completed on the insane difficulty level which means: Highest difficulty + permanent death. I could potentially try it with periodically backing up saves in case I die but even with that I don't think I can ever do it. This game will forever stay like this and I'm okay with it :)

I have to admit that Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a massive mistake of mine. I got the game from a key dump on a social media website aimed at gamers about 3 years ago and my mistake was a result of my couriosity getting the best of me as I witnessed so many ETS2 related content from multiple people every single day. I simply wanted to know what the deal was. I got a few achievements while testing the game and I wasn't a completionist back then so it didn't bother me. However once I became a completionist, the magnitute of anger that mere 8% completion inflicted on me became very unbearable. Thus I decided to start buying one or two DLCs each sale to start my collection so everything would be ready once I focused on it. There are still new expansions being announced so I made peace with that fact that I'll be buying ETS2 DLCs for the rest of my life. It serves me right for that mistake :P

Anyway the game is actually a great simulator, I just don't like it cause I don't enjoy driving games anymore. I really appreciate that the game allows you to disable some of the simulator options allowing you to play it more like a casual driving game. It's possible to disable options like realistic fuel consumption to use less fuel; player rest so the driver will always be awake and won't be fined for not resting and speed limit so you can drive as fast as your truck allows you without being fined for speeding. It's even possible to increase or decrease chances of running into traffic events like accidents or road constructions as well as rainy weather. There are many transmission options and you can choose between automatic and manual for even extra realism. I found the AI greatly lacking though. I noticed a lot of vehicles suddenly changing directions towards my line while I was right next to them resulting in many accidents. I think AI doesn't check side mirrors at all. I also had vehicles hitting me from the back while they were steering their wheel towards me to change lanes. I could watch it all happen in my side mirror in utter shock. Can they really not see a massive truck right in front of them?

What I dislike the most about this game is the missed opportunities by not adding famous buildings in their respective cities. You go to London and there is no London Eye, you go to Paris there isn't a sign of the Eiffel Tower so on and on. I went to Italy in real life and Italy in ETS2 doesn't even remotely resemble what I saw. As an avid screenshot taker the only thing I truly enjoyed in the game was the scenery so I thought this one was such a wasted chance to make the game even more remarkable when it comes to the landscape. I was sure to like Italy the most but after seeing how it was represented I ended up liking France a lot more.

The type of cargo I enjoyed hauling the most was oversize/special delivery. Yes they were incredibly gigantic and some of them were so wide that I couldn't even fit them in narrow roads therefore I had to come to terms with delivering a slightly damaged cargo. However there is a special reason as to why I liked it; because you are escorted by two vehicles covering your front and rear. These escort vehicles drive very close to the opposite lane just to make the cars give you more room. They also drive ahead to warn upcoming vehicles of your coming when you are close to tight turns and intersections. This reminded me of a heartwarming experience I had with a pack of stray dogs who escorted me home in a similar way trying to shoo anyone or anything that came even remotely close to me. But this is also frustrating as it's impossible to rush these missions. I had around 160 hours into this game with barely anything else played inbetween so all I wanted to do was rush but I had to stay between the two escort vehicles otherwise the delivery failed instantly. Either way, those escort vehicles made me feel safe in an oddly indescribable way.

I'm quite sure that every one of us at one point or another came across some game that can be extremely hard to review without spoiling anything. SOMA is one of them. I actually don't even know what to say because all I can think of saying involves a lot of spoilers and it's seriously best to get into this game without knowing anything about the story. I am also afraid of mentioning the topics very very broadly because I feel like even that will be enough to ruin the first experience. So instead I will write an extremely bland and uninteresting review that covers its gameplay only. Sorry! Please feel free to ask about the story if you are really curious and I'll be happy to provide some general answers in spoiler tags.

SOMA is played in first person view and the game generally plays like a walking simulator with some puzzles here and there. However occasionally you will run into some type of monster that needs to be avoided so the game also includes some mild stealth elements. The developers added a "safe mode" very recently which allows you to play the game purely as a walking simulator with puzzles. Monsters in the safe mode can still kill you if you get extremely close to them (I tested it) but normally they are really harmless. The game can get blurry at times especially when you are under water and/or injured. I normally get a lot of motion sickness from games these days but SOMA didn't affect me at all despite the blurry vision once in a while. Pfft, what a useless review this was right? The game is all about its fantastic story, atmosphere, and the philosophical themes it deals with none of which I can talk about for fear of spoilers. The rest is absolutely nothing. All I can really say is that it feels like playing a Black Mirror episode. I'll stop writing about SOMA here otherwise it'll keep getting worse. Just do yourself a favour and play it! Seriously!

Gorogoa is an exceptionally made puzzle game in which you need to swap tiles in order to progress. There are 4 tile places in the layout and you need to zoom in/out of tiles, discover new tiles, bring the tiles together/side by side/directly on top of one another etc to create a whole scene to solve beautifully designed puzzles with a great deal of detail and depth attached to them. The game is quite simple and can be finished in 1-2 hours. However I struggled a bit with finishing the game under 30 minutes achievement and had to do about 3 playthroughs to fully memorise the puzzle solutions. I panic a lot when there are time constraints and tend to forget things I know very well. So Gorogoa was a hassle to 100% for me.

Fahrenheit is a story driven adventure game with TONS of QTEs. It boasts epic soundtrack as well as really high quality voice acting. The story is told from the perspective of three playable characters: A murderer and two detectives hot on his trail. We get to play each of them throughout the story. QTEs are generally long with some short breaks between them and there is room for mistakes depending on the difficulty of your choice. Easy difficulty will give you more time to correct your mistakes while also providing you with more chances to miss before total failure whereas Hard is much much more punishing.

Fahrenheit was a game I once removed from my library after watching a video of its longest QTE. It takes about 5 minutes with very few short breaks which are barely enough to breathe once. I didn't even think twice, no hesitation. Bam! Just remove from library. Very recently I had a chance to watch Dogmas play this game and I realised that it's actually quite awesome so I got the game back into my account. I asked her to send me her full save file so I could access that longest QTE which made me delete the game in the first place. I wanted to see if I could pass that chapter on my alt account. I did! So naturally I gave it my full attention on my main account and subsequently completed it. I seriously had a blast. I'm so glad to have got the chance to see this game being played otherwise I would have missed out on it which would be a great loss on my part.

It's extremely rare for me to buy games immediately after their release. I'm a very slow acquirer of games and I am known to take months even years before I get something I want. FRAMED breaks this chain as I picked it up on the first day of its release. Gameplay in FRAMED is actually similar to Gorogoa as it's a puzzle/stealth game which also requires tiles swapping in order to progress. It doesn't have the depth of Gorogoa but I personally enjoyed the overall experience of FRAMED a lot more. Noir theme plus jazz soundtrack plus stealth. I really can't ask for more! The aim of the game is to safely reach the very last tile. In order to do that you need to swap the tiles and put them in a specific order to make the character move smoothly between tiles without getting detected. The game keeps it fresh by introducing new challenges and obstacles, for example during the course of one chapter you will be required to re-use previously used tiles while there is already motion going on in another tile. Unfortunately I found it way too short though. I really hope the developers will continue making games like this.

Please Knock on My Door is a game that deals with depression head on. The main character represents the developer of the game who went through serious depression himself. The game has 3 endings depending on your choices. The gameplay is quite simple and basic. You take care of the basic needs of your character like eating food; you can make him go to work or not; help him relax by taking a shower, looking out the window, chatting or playing games on the computer, watching TV, taking naps etc. If you go to work you will also have a decision to make every time. All of these actions need to be timed correctly in order for you to go to bed on time so you will be able to wake up when the alarm rings to go to work without being late. If you are late to work, go to work hungry or without taking a shower your coworkers and boss will react to it.

The game uses a point based score system to calculate your performance. Each action will either add or subtract points from your overall score. For example taking a long shower will add points whereas getting lost in thoughts instead of focusing on your meal will substract points. This score can determine what types of actions you can take. For example if you don't have a score of 40, you can't chat online on the computer. The game has 3 play modes. In one mode the score is hidden and points don't affect what type of actions you can take. So even if you have only 10 score, you can still chat online. Another mode displays the score but limits your actions based on the amount of points you have accumulated.

Please Knock on My Door is a game that I highly recommend supporting. If you at any point in life experienced depression yourself or have known someone to go through it, it is impossible not to find something relatable. It can even get too relatable at times. If you make decisions a certain way, the usual narration in the game will be interrupted by a message directly from the developer to the player which I included in the screenshot gallery for this game. He is also very helpful on the forums. How can one not want to support this person? So just buy the game already!

There are two very personal reasons as to why I seriously disliked Chuchel. First of all the main character is nothing but a bully. I hate bullies, I really really do. I never wanted to help him get the cherry because he is a piece of filth that is not worthy of anything good. Second reason is because it reminds me of the horrific memories back when I had very long hair. In Czech the word Chuchel means 'ball of hair and dust' and I had so much torment and trauma with my previously long hair that even a brief look at Chuchel's design makes me want to vomit. Anyway I'm glad those days are over because for the past 5 years I've been supporting the very short but extremely stylish pixie look of Michelle Williams.

Back to reviewing the game, Chuchel prefers to simplify pretty much everything. There isn't the usual complexity and depth of previous Amanita Design games. Every puzzle solution is right there on the screen you are looking at without having to go anywhere else. Forget about interacting with npcs, trying to figure out what they want, collecting tons of objects and miraculously creating something crazy by combining them. Chuchel doesn't feature any of these things. Each screen you are looking at represents that chapter, your obstacles are clearly presented and it's rather simple to immediately figure out how to solve it. There are only about 2-3 chapters where the puzzles have a bit more complexity but the rest of them don't pose any challenge whatsoever. While everything from graphics to puzzle solutions are simplified, none of these are reasons as to why Chuchel is my least liked Amanita Design game. I really don't mind the simplicity, I even welcome it sometimes. It's only the two reasons I specified in the first paragraph. Without them, I would have enjoyed it at least more than Samorost 1-2.
