Depressive Replicant.
Game is good, only played up to Ending A, and watched the rest on YT, the requirements for the other endings are too much of a chore compared to Automata, and it would have been a really tedious task that I decided not to partake on.
Combat good, hated the puzzles in the desert, there's a lot of backtracking and the lack of warp really hindered my enjoyment, voice acting is insane and the story is depressing, Sasuga Yoko Taro.

Borderlands has what it takes to be a great game, but ultimately falls apart the more you play it. The game has such an incredible setting, great ambiance and cool concept, but all of that is wore down by the gameplay mechanics. At the start you won't notice this, but later on, enemies start being HP Sponges, and the loot will be trash 99.9% of the times, even the vendors sell crap. You'll be stuck with that good~ish weapons you found like 10 hours ago. I was lucky enough to get an awesome shotgun that stuck with me till endgame, as the thing would annihilate bruisers and bosses easily, that still doesn't change the fact that most of the loot you get is trash and it's everywhere to the point where it becomes a chore to check every single thing for a slight upgrade. Missions are a chore, most of them is the same old "go here, fetch this, return" or "Go, kill, and return" and none of them are rewarding enough to excuse how tedious they are, it doesn't help that enemy variance is low, there are like 5 - 7 enemy types with some variants and that's just it.
Oh, and the inventory management? awful

I'm not crying, you are ;_;
That Conquest Ending tho :(
For a VN, I dare to say this aged a bit poorly when it comes to design and some QoL features modern VN has, but it's still competent.
The only thing it irked me was the music repetitiveness, it can get a bit old pretty quickly after a while listening to the same tune over and over again (that, and some jarring sound effects were a bit annoying too)
Overall as expected of Key, an emotional short story worth the price for.

I'll probably watch a story summary of this one, holy shit the Graphic UI is god damn awful, was it really that hard to make it just like Human Revolution?

The one that started it all. A solid game that shows it's age but that ultimately delivers. Great ost, good level design, great atmosphere.
Everything that made the OG game great, comes again and makes it way, WAY better. I think this is the first time I've experienced any media with characters that goes beyond being tridimentional. Featuring the thoughts of many characters rather than just Amber adds a lot of Layers to the characters, and boy, the drama of this short but amazing DLC just makes it better. Even tho some conflicts might be clichéd, the way the story wraps it up makes me think of the characters as actual human beings due to the amount of layers they have. When you think a character is angry due to a reason, it's actually a different reason, and all of them escalate to something heavier and then hits you like a brick to your face to pour the sour reality flat to the ground. Most of the conflicts hits home way more than I wanted to, like Tess being unable to feel emotions, and Amber being unable to read the room. Alongside with the perfect OST, this is a VN that broadened my horizones, it made me angry, sad, happy, it even made me believe in second chances, it made me believe in a change for the better, it made me feel melancholic. Every time I hear to "Eleven", thousands of emotions are going to flood my heart and make me remember, not only the melancholic parts, but the great ones too. That's how good the musical direction is, and how great the character writing is.
Gameplay: A+
Story: A
Characters: A
Soundtrack: A
Misc: C+
Overall Fun game with great mechanics that never felt clunky (despite Ragdolls being goofy as fuck lmao) big improvement over VC1. The story was pretty good it portrayed a war greatly with the outcomes and unexpected things happening, like winter coming early and many other impactful moments that made it exciting (and dreadful at times, but in a good way ofc). Characters were endearing and I really enjoyed the cast developing, especially Claude and Riley. Props to Raz for best bro. I really enjoyed the Soundtrack, it gets right the atmosphere and while sometimes It might be overused it's still great.
As for why Misc was C+, it's some nitpicks I wish could have been handled better, like, Buying things is a chore because every bought item Miles have to talk lol, it's kinda slow and kind of ruins my pace, nothing big, but I wish he didn't have to talk for every single item xD (this also applies to leveling up too, although is not that bad as buying)

This review contains spoilers
Back in the day KH1 and KH2 were the only things I knew from Kingdom Hearts. I had no idea about the middle games, and when I played KH2, I was kinda confused by Sora sleeping on an Egg Chamber.
Since I was obsessed with kingdom hearts, I stumbled across this game. Initially I thought it was a random fan game that sorta recaps the events of KH1, but later on I realized it's a canonical game which leads up to KH2.
I admit back in the day I was very dense and almost believed that Naminé was actually on the islands, until I reached the Climax were it's revealed to Sora (and me XD) that everything was a lie inserted to him.
Ahh good old times, I remember being so damn hyped when I realized there was a Riku part of the story, so I really held this game on high regard.
It kinda saddens me that CoM in general is brushed off due to being a card game, but I really liked this game, for being a GBA game this game really had a lot of content and hidden mechanics it was unreal. And once you master the combat, the card system actually becomes fun to tweak with, unlocking new abilities that makes farming heartless easy and overwhelm bosses with a barrage of unbreakable cards (thanks to the Jafar card) or obliterate enemies to the void (with Lexaeus card on Riku's end) it's just damn fun.
Needless to say, I have a certain preference to the OG CoM, it has better things than Re:CoM (except Re:CoM did the Riku part more fun with the duels, but Re:CoM turned heartless into HP sponges, specially towards the end, making it kinda tedious, but that's only it)
Kinda glad I wanted to give the KH series another chance after being hugely disappointed by KH3, but deep inside I still have some love for the series, all thanks to KH1.

Woah boy, that was quite the VN, I had mixed feelings with Juliamo being a thing you have to learn here, but it's nice to have some interaction other than choices for routes.
This VN damaged me, like I really loved it but damn, the amount of philosophical and hypothetical thoughts this Vn evoke on me hits home hard and it's often really depressing, but when it's beautiful, it excels.
Really recommend this for those Yuri VN Enthusiasts, although this is a bit more tame, it's still a great story.

It's beautiful.
Ps: Be sure to rollback to version 2.0 and use patch for the best experience ;)

Fun game, great gameplay, horrible camera and a meme fest.

Good soundtrack (although a bit repetitive at times), the gameplay loop is nice for what it's worth.
Be sure to have a guide when playing this game, there are many vague and cryptic indications that are never told to you and would feel better to get through with a guide (especially when it comes to dungeons)
Overall a decent but dated game.

Played all chapters including x chapters, game is good, however some newly introduced mechanics that are mostly trolling you most of the time becomes a pain in the ass and x chapters are awful.
That being side, the story was great, and the characters even more so, specially Olwen.
Quite a difficult game to master, but once everything kicks, I started bossing around most chapters, except for those troll maps like the mirage forest lol.
