Please disregard the mixed reviews on Steam as I feel they are unfair. This is an investigation game I liked from start to finish. The animations are poor and it isn't bug-free but the atmosphere definitely makes up for its shortcomings.

I had a great time with this one. It looks really nice, the gameplay is top-notch and I enjoyed the somewhat non-linear levels and worlds. If you're not going for the star coins or the extra challenges, the difficulty is just right for it to stay fun.

At first, I wasn't convinced with the mobile game animations and lack of challenge but it slowly grew on me. Completing the gazillion small quests and hunting for crafting materials ended up being super addictive.

Another game unfairly getting mixed reviews on Steam, I got completely hooked to this one! The actual soccer is decent at best but it's the colorful characters, the puzzles and the neat pixel/voxel art that kept me going back.

Sometimes, I get happily surprised by games I hardly know anything about. This is one of them. The unusual art direction, the gripping story and the dozens of impactful choices made throughout make a really neat package.

Much more than a climbing game, Jusant feels like a long poem. It's like being alone (well, almost), pushing through, piecing information together and weighing the meaning of everything you see. An ode to companionship and resilience.

Purr-fect companion to the first installment, it has a similar gameplay while improving every aspect of it. Combat is fluid, dialogues are funny and it's very addictive. I'm looking forward to the release of Cat Quest III later this year.

I got this one from the Internet Archive since it's no longer available for purchase. Great dialogue, gameplay and story, I feel it's one of Telltale's best. It's really a shame they pulled the plug on this one.

A very enjoyable game, even if the puzzle and combat sections were a little too easy. The story is original and the isometric visuals, which is a pretty uncommon artistic choice these days, are very well done. A treat for booklovers.

An nice VN set in 1860s Japan. As a straight guy, I didn't care much for the romance but enjoyed the setting, the political intrigue and the supernatural elements. The routes were different enough to complete them all.

Despite the repetitive missions, the first game in the series is still worth playing in 2024. The parkour, which was revolutionary at the time, is very well done and the atmosphere really pulls you in.

A decent game that makes great use of the 3D feature. Unfortunately it suffers from annyoing framerate issues (even with the 3D off) and quickly becomes overly easy.

The full game seems to be very pleasant (I intend to play if over the summer) but this free demo is buggy and won't save your game. My playthrough took about 90 minutes after losing my 25-minutes progress so it wasn't a big deal.

I really tried to like this game but I was bored all the way to the end. The visuals are nice (except for the horrendous vegetation texture pop-in) but player interactions are a joke and there's way too much distracting dialogue.

While very different from the main Bayonetta series, this prequel is a charming experience. The storybook-like tale is very well written, combat requires both strategy and skill and the colorful intricate game world is a pleasure to explore.

This game is superb in every way. The story was interesting all the way through and the ending quite unexpected. I think the devs stretched the RPG Maker engine to its limits with this title!

A dark, dark tale. You probably have already heard about the stunning visuals but the audio work is also second to none. The combat mechanics are pretty good but fighting the same enemies ended up being tedious.

A very enjoyable title reminiscent of those late 2000s games like Prototype. Very straightforward, it's a combination of stealth and all-out combat which both require thinking and precise execution. I wanted action and this game delivered.

Despite the high difficulty even on easy, I had an nice time with this underrated game. Combat and gear offer many options, the story is pretty entertaining (but short) and the dialogues have some great one-liners.

A short but uplifting game. The central theme being the delicate balance between cultural preservation and integration, it's quite sad at times but the delicious cooking sections will leave you with a smile and an appetite!

Meh all over. I didn't like the main character, the pacing is off and the story is mostly boring. I absolutely loved Life Is Strange (by the same devs) and maybe making this game episodic would have worked out better.

Pretty much a run-of-the-mill HOG, average on all levels. The story and the graphics are alright for this type of game and the puzzles are very simple. Sticking two broken pieces together with honey though ...

A really neat diablo-like set in the Minecraft universe. The loot system is very simple and it's really all about gear characteristics and upgrades. The levels are very extensive and replaying them for better loot is a pleasure.

Presented as a successor to Steep, they are very different games. RR is really about pulling off crazy stunts on an absolutely massive map while Steep is a lot more focused. If you only care about skiing/snowboarding, Steep is much better.

I already had the game on Switch but decided to get it again for the cheaper DLCs. The characters are varied, hit hard and the combos are pretty easy to pull off. It's a nice reboot of the franchise.

As you may already know, I'm a sucker for pixel-art games. I really enjoyed this one but not just for the pleasing visuals. For a change, I had to really pay attention to the info I was given and think.

While the visuals haven't aged very well, the gameplay definitely makes for them. The tactical combat was phenomenal for the time. However, be aware that this game needs a patch for work right on modern systems.

This first entry on the 3DS is really nice. The "story" is just a pretext but three types of levels were different enough to maintain my interest. The hardest difficulty was completely of out my league though.

Probably the disappointment of the year. It took me a while to see how shallow it is. The main quest is quite bland, most of the side ones too and so many things are awkardly implemented. Not sure patches will fix it.

SquareEnix tried to compete with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ... and failed. While this game isn't bad at all, the handling is just not as pleasant and winning relies way too much on luck.

I usually enjoy the games published by Wales Interactive but this one not so much. The main problem is that you're in charge of an investigation but to get the right clues, you must make lucky gesses over several runs.
