A cute little puzzle platformer game. You can pick it up, 100% complete it and put it back down within an evening.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a story about letting go, filled with platforming, climbing, stealth and combat. There's not much to say about this game. It did not blow me away, but I would recommend it to anyone. Probably a solid 7 out of 10.

I went into this game completely blind. I knew nothing except that it was short, and that it was called Night Reverie. Throughout the game, I had theories on what the theme was. There will be some spoilers ahead. First, I realised quickly that this game would be dark. But whether that was horror or tragedy, I wasn't sure yet. As you progress through the game, you meet a few characters. To me, those characters clearly represented isolation, loneliness, guilt, anxiety, uncertainty, anger and fear - while our character was the shining light that alleviated those feelings. At that point, I had already realised that the game is a tragedy, specifically one about traumatic loss and grief.

Even knowing that, I did not see the ending coming. I won't elaborate further. You need to play it.

Marvel Rivals is a hero shooter reminiscent of Overwatch 2's game modes and SMITE's gameplay. There was a notable drop in players once Season 2 started, and I noticed that I myself didn't have as much motivation to play once I hit Grand Master in S0 and then Celestial in S1, as these were my goals. I am looking forward to Season 3, though - and hopefully I can find the motivation to push beyond Celestial.

Pretty fun game for when you just want to play something between games, and it has a neat little comment on the effects of corruption and how easy it is for one person with enough money to cause major harm across the globe. Once you finish it, it gets a little repetitive, even in the endless mode. You end up shorting one stock, buying one as a dividend stock and then just doubling down on both until you break the game. Prestige, rinse and repeat.

Overall, I'd give this somewhere between "Recommended" and "Meh", though I'm leaning towards "Recommended" as I'd rather be generous than unfair.

At first, this comes off as a weird yet interesting puzzle game. But near the end you should have realised it has a beautiful story. A pretty game with nice music, a few plot twists, loveable characters and the completionist's dream replay mechanic, this game might not offer huge replay value for a New Game but it certainly leaves you wanting to... Rewind.

It's been a while since I played a game that made me think about the ending as much as this one did. It's a visual novel, so DO NOT SKIP THE DIALOGUE. It kind of defeats the whole point if you do, and you will finish the game feeling confused and irritated rather than conflicted and intrigued.

Possible the greatest wallpaper source out there, and has been for years. Yeah - it isn't free, but it makes up for it with a massive collection of animated wallpapers.

Started as Silver 3, solo queued to Global Elite, ended the game as Legendary Eagle Master. Thousands of hours spent on this game. I miss it every day.
