👾 Four Last Things (🇬🇧 2017)

Genius point and click adventure heavily influenced by Monty Python. Clever use of copyright free material to introduce us in a wacky renaissance world. Only negative thing is that it’s very short.

👾 Metro 2033 (🇺🇦/🇲🇹 2010,2014)

Adaptation of the first book of the Russian sci-fi saga. Although it follows the plot, the story is too diluted by action segments and you can tell the story is moving forward abruptly. Nevertheless the post apocalyptic world is compelling and has memorable moments.

👾 The Gunk (🇸🇪 2021)

Lovely queer sci-fi puzzle platformer with good art direction. Overall is too simple and straightforward which might be appreciated for busy people. The story is not very original being the relationship between the main character and her partner the highlight of the game.

🎥 A Juggler’s Tale (🇩🇪 2021)

What a lovely little tale. It’s not revolutionary and far from perfect, but it is gorgeous to look at and the story is sparkled with twists and darkness. Another short and sweet experience.

👾 Life is Strange Remastered (🇫🇷 2015/2022)

One of the staples of modern interactive storytelling. Great characters, amazing soundtrack and gorgeous art shake hands in this coming of age story with supernatural elements.

👾 龍が如く6 命の詩。 (🇯🇵 2016)

"Yakuza 6: The Song of Life" marks the end of an era in the long time ongoing saga that, not only brings Japanese contemporary noir stories, but is also a faithful rendition of their lifestyle. This entry also features Takeshi Kitano portraying one of the main characters, making it an epitome of yakuza storytelling.

👾 Haven Park (🇱🇺 2021)

Managing a whole park can be a chore, but it isn’t in this cozy adventure with an underlying story about grief. Another short and sweet experience for a soothing time.

👾 Gylt (🇪🇸 2019)

Stealth horror game heavily influenced by Neil Gaiman’s eerie stories. Plot is simple enough and has a discourse about bullying. Visually is appealing although not a fan of the static cutscenes.

👾 Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
(🇸🇮 2013)

Playing this Slovenian title felt like going back to the 00s with all the over the top action games like the first God of War. Feels like treating yourself with unhealthy comfort fast food but without the after regrets. It’s a solid hack and slash with decent enough visuals and a cheesy story. The fact that it’s short plays on its favour.

I loved revisiting this jewel. It is a lovely fairytale with brilliant gameplay and a captivating atmosphere. Short and sweet.
