10/10 game. Don't think about it, just play it.

Obra Dinn - esque detective game where you investigate open scenes and derive conclusions based on the clues you find. It's extremely addictive and scratching the Obra Dinn itch. The presentation is novel and engaging and I am loving it so far.

My GOTY for 2021. Enjoyed all of it, so thoroughly.

Little Nightmares is a gorgeous & short game exploring the tensions and horror of a child's grim nightmares. The janky controls, delicate protagonist and haunting soundtrack all contribute to a holistic experience that is well worth your time.

This game is not a good game. It is not well executed. The story is not well told. The animations and appearance are janky and immersion destroying. I do not recommend this game, as its pros are far outweighed by its cons. Each and every set piece is poisoned by poor design decisions and terminally insufferable writing.

I was disappointed the more I played through as opportunities to tell a compelling story and create a thrilling atmosphere were marred by childish chase sequences, illogical continuity and clownish exclamations.

Phasmaphobia is an innovative and engaging take on the perils and challenges facing a professional, under-resourced group of paranormal investigators. The conceit of the game is derived from the balancing act paranormal investigation entails: as the investigator, you are trying to gather information on the ghost in whatever environment you have been deployed to, and this leaves the player open to shock scares or feelings of growing dread.

Phasmaphobia is great with friends; has innovative, engaging and logical game mechanics, a fascinating take on VR gameplay; and, while fun, has infinite room for improvement on a shaky, buggy and often poorly-presented gameplay experience.

Sweet little detective noir mystery that strikes its chord and satisfies that Raymond Chandler instinct in all of us. Some elements of pacing and engagement are under developed but overall I enjoyed it and would love to see more.

Tactical and strategic shooter that rewards decision making and game knowledge.

Ori is a gorgeous, balanced platformer with inticing visuals, a unique style and a digestible length.

I really love this game.

You guys should play it.
