Well I don't know how I got this, but it was a quirky little walking simulator that tried to be humorous but fell a little flat. At least it was really short though!

Night in the Woods really resonated with me. The music is phenomenal and the story telling is wonderful. I enjoyed talking to everyone every new day in-game just to see little more bits of story. The mini-games were fun and the story really told a tale that felt unique in setting, aesthetics, and presentation. 

Not much of a game as it is a late 90s/early 00s simulator of being a teen during the early days of the internet. The story is told via AIM messages and there is so much nostalgia here for me. It was a great experience and I'm glad that it exists.

What a fucking cool puzzler. It's a game I'll probably never beat, but I've had some big laughs as I figured a puzzle out. This game is exceptional in creativity.

I loved this as a goofy early pandemic escape. I never got into the creating, which one day I may re-visit, but I love the ambition of it and I hope that they enhance it as we move into the PS5 life. Also, Art's Dream was worth the price of admission alone. It was an excellent story.

Ahhhh I really wanted to like this more than I did. I enjoyed the experience, but I never felt connected with the story which sucks because people loved it. I really enjoyed the combat, but found the gameplay to get a bit tedious when I entertained even some side-quests and there's so much more until I 100% it. I also had issues with frame rate holding steady despite being on a PS4 Pro. Excellent game, but I didn't connect with it in the way others may have.

If you're into WoW and have been away for a bit, this is perhaps my favorite expansion released since The Burning Crusade. I have gripes but largely I think Blizzard has created a very engaging expansion. If you're a casual player or someone that loves to raid, it's pretty awesome. The covenant system can be limiting, the legendary system is annoying at times, the maw sucks, and PvP has lots of issues right now. The raid is very fun though, and I like a lot of the mythic dungeons. Plus Bastion is a beautiful zone. 

It's certainly a good time to check back in if you're curious. 

I love the implementation here, allowing me more flexibility in designing the island and some of the new additions. Despite me liking it a lot for a few months, I found myself wishing it was more engaging. After a certain point I found I was logging in just to say hi to villagers that would repeat the same lines. There's just not enough variability to the villagers dialogue, nor is there a way to engage with them in the game other than giving them gifts or the occasional errand. Also, did they ever fix the first villagers house issues? Your first few villagers will always have a bland house so it's not beneficial to keep them even if you love them.

It's a good game, and I can't complain about many months I got out of it, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe I'll check it out soon just to see what's going on.

Cuphead is dripping with charm from the hand-drawn animation to the lovely soundtrack. I am not normally into such frantic games but beating this on normal was such a thrilling experience. Cuphead became one of my favorite games of all time and I look forward to the DLC!
