Recent reviews by Freya

This is honestly one of the most fun games I have played online in quite sometime. And is sad that it got review-bombed because on misinformation from a terrible website (Reddit), so I decided to try and balance things out not that these schizos managed to make the game go down to only 61% of recent reviews being positive.

I decided to check the new maps on my own by pressing the "Creating a new server" button like I often do with any other game made by Valve. And almost immediatly people somehow started to join my match even though I never even toyed around with any config or the console to even create an actual server.

Shortly after the server got full, and after I was done checking the new maps I was about to disconnect from the server until someone warned me that if I do, the server would automatically die. So I decided to leave my PC open while I do something else thinking people would eventually get bored and log off.

Later I even forgot about the server and did all of my day to day activities. Until I came back to my PC late at night to turn it off only to find out my server was still full and with a lot of people on mic roleplaying as if it were 1998 and the game just came out. All while talking about "This new company called Valve" or how they can't wait for the Matrix movie to finally release "at the cinema."

Overall a pretty great experience that will forever stay with me whenever I decide to boot up this game again.

I originally thought this game was just going to be some cute and goofy homage to Zelda, but in reality it ended up becoming one of my favorite games I have ever played in my entire life and with some of the best and most engaging puzzles I have ever seen in a game. From the most basic puzzle, to everything leading back to the path for the true ending which to achieve includes everything that you have learned through the entire game in order to solve it. Making us (the player) go back to taking notes, writing and drawing with a pencil on a piece of paper like when we used when we were kids playing an old game.

And the game is not just about puzzles though, as there is a LOT of good and meaningful exploration through out this bizarre and strange world in Tunic that just keeps evoking you with feeling of wonder that constantly pulls you towards its mysteries and secrets that it hides. And all of that, accompanied with a very strong art direction, very good music and with a surprisingly deep combat system for a Puzzle-focused game once you learn every secret and hidden mechanic (tho the combat can be turned off in the options for people who just want to focus on the puzzles).

I specially loved how you have to find pages of the long-lost manual of the game and how even though it is incomplete at first, you can kinda follow along what it is trying to tell you on a language that you can't possible understand in your first playthrough. That part in particular really meant a lot to me because even though I am a "2000's kid", I was born in a desert in México where we couldn't just get new games, so we were kinda stuck with no internet and only old games entirely on English, a language completely different from my own.

I mean, we had the manuals for those games at home and even though they really helped a lot in the games, at the time I only knew a few words on that language so I had to solve what it was trying to tell me page by page, turning the manual of the game into its own mystery and puzzle to solve so that I can tackle what those games needed from me. And now that I have learned to speak English alongside a few other languages after all these years, I always thought that I would never get to experience all these feelings and sense of wonder and mystery towards a game just like a did when I was a kid... Until I played Tunic, the game that sent me back to that time.

Seriously, I can't thank you enough for giving me (and probably many others) one of the best experiences I have had with a game in a very long time. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you very much. At this point I wish I could just erase my memories from this game so that I could experience it for the first time all over again 💗

I can't believe I ended up discovering one of my favorite games ever just because a friend started to make lots of really good NSFW fanart of one of the characters from this game (you know which one).

• "You know? I really love [this character] a lot, I'm a big fan of her."
  
• "OMG! You love Bug Fables too? That's awesome!!"
  
• "Bug Fables? What's that?"
  
• "Oh..."

Okay, hear me out. Sometimes certain things run out of battery while you are still in the mood and aren't quite done. And when that happens, sometimes you have to "improvise" with whatever you have within arm's reach. But sadly there isn't a simple "test" function for controllers or a simple button you can press to keep them on indefinitely. Which is when this little "life-saver" comes into play!

So if you are a gamer girl like myself and know about what I was talking about because you have had that happening to you before; then go ahead and buy this immediately! Trust me, is totally worth it, specially with how cheap it is.

Just finished 10 levels of the game by being idle for half an hour and the game is already asking me to give them money and to subscribe to their newsletter via e-mail so that I can get the option to open the reward loot I got for beating the level. What a joke lmao.

Also, the art in game looks NOTHING like the art in the promotional material. In the actual game all the sprites and renders look like if they were made by a highschooler who was paid in "exposure".

I remember when I was a kid I used to spend countless hours in the tittle screen listening to that piano song, so it was a great time having to revive those memories by listening to this beautiful and melancholic soundtrack.

Welp, I think this is the end now. I decided not to use the Epic Games Store because I really dislike their business practices and how they basically try force exclusivity for the sake of further monetization, and I also stopped using their store because of the fact that they banned my account and tagged it as a bot just for buying more than 4 games at once, as the store didn't have a built-in cart and buying more than 3 games in a row tagged you as dangerous. But now, Fall Guys just became unplayable to me as you are now forced to use an Epic Games Account in order to even play for a game I already paid for, just because Epic Games and their terrible business practices decided to dumb a bunch of money into the game.

I suck at it but at least is pretty fun.

I must be a devil because the ending & prologue of DMC3 sure made me cry...
