Limbo

Filled star Filled star Filled star Filled star Half-filled star Playtime: 2h 36m. A delightful little game that has been sitting on my Steam library for I don’t know how long. It is easy to see why it is such a classic. So many interesting gameplay ideas implemented with simple controls: directional and 2 buttons, jump and action. Still on the “doing so much with so little” topic, there is also an interesting story being told during the bloodshed playthrough. ...

Horizon Forbidden West

Filled star Filled star Filled star Filled star Hollow star Playtime: 134h 30m. Wow, how did I play this game for so long? I don’t know, the game loop of hunting and bringing down machines is entertaining enough (but so it was on the first game too), and I hopefully kept on going, looking for that spark of magic that made me fall in love with Zero Dawn. ...

Epistory - Typing Chronicles

Filled star Filled star Filled star Half-filled star Hollow star Playtime: 5h 30m. A byte-sized review for a byte-sized game. I grabbed this one for free from Epic as I was quite interested on its typing gameplay. You wander around mounted on a fox, typing words to either decorate or unblock your path, or to beat enemies during combat sequences that proved somewhat challenging and quite engaging. ...

A Plague Tale: Requiem

Filled star Filled star Filled star Half-filled star Hollow star Playtime: 26h. For a long time I have wanted to keep track of the games I played and my opinions on them. Both for the sake of keeping some sort of log, and to send to friends, when I get asked about game suggestions. Too bad I didn’t start earlier, but there is no point trying to change the past (as most time travel games seem to agree on) and better now than later. Or never. After having loved the first game and finding it a impressive show for a small studio, this sequence is a bag of mixed feelings to me. ...
