A simple puzzle game with interesting mechanics that I think could become a little problematic if you try to perfect the levels early on.

Almost ten years since it was released I finally played this fantastic game. It was truly fun to shoot those demons and the music was also excellent. I liked the sceneries in the game and the different weapons one could use to run and gun. Looking forward to playing the sequel.

The highlight of this month. I've played a bunch of the Quantic Dream games, but this one feels like the game that managed to do everything that they've done before better. I really liked Connor and Hank characters and relationship, but really couldn't give a crap about Kara. Markus was ok.

When I was young I used to really enjoy playing open world games like GTA and Saints Row, but while growing up I feel like I just find them boring? I still enjoy playing a few of them, turn off the brain and shoot some enemies, but they don't feel the same as they did when I was young.
I won this through Playing Appreciated (first time I won something there!) so I downloaded it and started playing it straight away. Finished it in an afternoon and that was that.

This is what a licensed game should be like. Incredibly fun to play, the characters are fantastic and well developed, and Indy stays true to the movies. I took my time, played a bunch of the game, having done all main and side (Fieldwork) quests, collected a lot of notes but ended up not doing that many mysteries and discoveries, according to the in-game stats. However, they are well-thought and do make sense in the world we're playing in. I feel like I could get another 10-15 hours if I wanted to 100% it, but I don't want to overstay my welcome and want to leave on a very positive note.
I had some textures/graphics problems, but that may be because I am on a full AMD setup and this was made for Nvidia, I assume? But overall I did play on High settings with locked 60 fps on 1080p. I had to mess a bit with the settings and check online for the optimal ones. That can also be because I'm not used to playing recent/new games so soon after release, exceptions being Hogwarts Legacy and the first Spider-Man. I feel very grateful for SG because I won this game there and I wouldn't have played it now, only in 2-3 years if not for that.

Hell of a game. Feels like Doom and the rhythm gameplay mechanic from Hi-Fi Rush had a child and went to hell. I really liked the gameplay and the soundtrack was fantastic.

Dordogne was my Most Exciting Addition in January, and having finished Indiana Jones, I wanted to still give a try on the Monthly in a Month of February with a bunch of short games. Of course I installed this one straight away. Sad to say that it did not live up to my expectations – yes, the game is beautiful and the colors and narrative are great – but I felt like there was something missing to make it great.

Surprise of the month right here. Time spent playing this one flew by, every level felt and was different, and very fun to play through. And this is coming from someone who doesn't think much of "boomer shooters". But this game might've changed my opinion on them. The humor and references were also great!

I have played the first game a while ago, but even taking that into account, I still feel like this was a bit of more of the same, just a "different" story. The new mechanics were fun, but the game was so short that it was not enough time to feel like I was making well use of them.

One I've had on my backlog for a few years now (five!), which I was expecting to be a bit better than what it was. It's more frustrating than fun, but I still enjoyed going through the levels. Except that last level, had to repeat it a few times (even playing on Easy) to beat it. Way too tripy for my taste though.

The game is very charming and really beautiful. The gameplay is very fun and while I played on the easy difficulty, it was fun to find different ways to defeat the various types of enemies.
What I disliked was playing through the whole game only dying twice because of my own errors, but dying more than 15 times on the last boss. It did not felt very balanced.

I've yet to read any Stanisław Lem book, but I have a feeling that I will enjoy them after playing The Invincible. The game is basically a prequel to the homonymous book, and I really adored the game. The world and atmosphere is great and the 10 hours spent exploring Regis III flew by.

Repetitive gameplay and some really annoying bosses due to bad game design that made me want to drop the game 75% in, I don't quite understand the (high) appraisal that this game received. Other than that, the fighting is satisfying, the dialogue is fun and the soundtrack is the highlight of the game.

My first impressions weren't great but while playing it, the characters and story grabbed me and by the end I was engaged by the game, the characters and also the music. I played a few of the branches in the story and it was fun to see the different results. If one were to do the right choice each time I'd imagine that it'd take a lot less time to finish it.

The gunk in The Gunk remembered me of Princess Mononoke, which by itself was one of the better things about this game. I found it a bit underwhelming but a good enough try for a first 3d game by the SteamWorld games developers. The story, gameplay or puzzles are nothing to write home about, but I still enjoyed playing through it and it was a good, fun, short adventure to go through.
