Celeste
2018
First review of 2024 baby! What a first game to start the year. I first played this back in 2019 and absolutely loved it. I beat all of the chapters, both A and B sides but never did any of the C sides nor did I get all the strawberries. This playthrough I did tho and man it felt good. Before I get into that let me talk about why this game is so great.
Why don't I just get right into the story first. When I first played, I remember being blown away by the story and absolutely loving it. While I do still think it's good, there was something bothering me throughout and it may just be a me thing. Theo, he's not a bad character but why all the mentions of selfies and his social media 😭. I hate to say it but it was really taking me out of the story at points. It was definitely the biggest issue I had when replaying this. Otherwise though, the Madeline side of the story is really good. I like how anyone that plays this game can at least relate to her need to overcome her personal demons and I think the fact they made it so she accepts them for what they are instead of just trying to bury them completely, I like that execution way more. They portrayed anxiety and depression super well and I think that's the game's strongest aspect when it come's to story.
The soundtrack is pretty solid, tho I remember loving it back then which I wouldn't say I love it now. Don't get me wrong, it's good and there are some standout tracks in certain chapters but I didn't like it as much as I did in 2019 I think. Maybe it was because I was more focused on playing the game and didn't pay attention to the music too much this time around? I also maybe wasn't a fan of the voices they gave the characters. Idk some of the time I found it kinda annoying which is a shame.
As for some of the biggest positives, the game is amazing visually. The pixel art is pretty much perfect the whole way through and the backgrounds in some of these chapters are breathtaking. Golden Ridge I think was the standout especially, it was gorgeous.
Now we come to my favorite part of the game, the gameplay. This is easily one of the most fun 2D platformers I've ever played. It's just so polished and the level design is so good. One of my favorite things was just finding all the secrets, there's a ton of them whether it's hidden strawberries or crystal hearts or B side tapes or even that one hidden indie game screen I somehow found by doing the wavedash (that was insane) they're all really fun to find. I also really love just how many different techniques you can perform. A lot of them aren't explained until late late game or not even at all and they can really break the game sometimes, it's awesome. Celeste is also extremely difficult I'm sure you know. Indeed, some of the later levels in the base game can get super duper hard. The B sides and C sides especially, some of those were nuts. As I said, I did everything in the base game...everything except for the golden strawberries. I got the one in chapter 1 A side but that was it. They just don't feel too worth it since it's not new content...just surviving an entire chapter without dying which isn't too fun imo. As for the hardest part of the base game, that hands down has to go to Chapter 7 Side C. Jesus Christ that last fucking screen took me 3 hours in-game time and exactly 1152 deaths. None of the other chapters came close to that many deaths and you know what, I'm so glad I did it. I'll never do it again mind you, but I told myself that if I did it...I'd bump this game to a 9. So for now that's what I'll do tho I may bump it down to an 8.5 who knows.
I do have some issues that are more a me thing but this game is super fun and definitely a top tier indie in my book.
Oh and as for farewell...yes I'll be doing that next and yes I am very scared. I got up to the point where you're required to wavedash back in 2019 and then quit. I've heard it's extremely brutal in the 2nd half so I'm nervous but I will persevere boys. Wish me luck!

Crash Bandicoot
1996
Primeira vez q joguei Crash e tenho q dizer q é um jogo bem divertido, por mais q os controles sejam bem irritantes em certos momentos, n deixa de ser bem incrivel a criatividade dos desenvolvedores ao criar as fases com temáticas diferentes pra n serem repetitivas d+.
>> Game completado com todas as gemas e chaves.
>> Prós
• DIVERTIDO.
• FASES : Bem bacana q existem fases com diferentes objetivos ( desde plataforma comum até corrida contra algo ).
• BONUS : As fases bonus são bem legais.
• DESAFIO : É um jogo bem desafiador em certos momentos, principalmente pelos controles.
>> Contras
• JOGABILIDADE : N é totalmente ruim mas achei bem chatinha as vezes.
>> Perso Favorito = Crash.

Forza Horizon 2
2014
Foi o primeiro jogo q joguei no xbox 360 pq tinha vindo junto com ele quando comprei, n era mt de jogar corrida mas mudei minha opnião com o tempo. Curti bastante o game, seu mundo aberto e a galeria de carros; embora n tenha chegado a terminar o jogo por preguiça.
>> Prós
• MUNDO ABERTO : O mapa é bem bacana.
• GRÁFICOS : São bons para a época.
• JOGABILIDADE : Achei tranquilo e fácil de dirigir nas corridas.
• CARROS E PERSONALIZAÇÃO : A galeria de carros é boa, além de customização ser bem legal tbm.
>> Contras
• Nenhum.

Red Dead Redemption
2010
Red Dead Redemption foi uma experiencia incrivel, desconhecia td sobre a obra exceto pelo final q ja tinha visto na internet.
Esse jogo me fez conhecer o universo de RDR e eu sei q o segundo game é considerado um dos melhores da história e algum dia irei jogar pq foi mt foda esse final de jornada do John.
>> Game finalizado com 100%, n pretendia fazer mas consegui ( oq me deixava com pé atrás era de fazer os desafios pq alguns eram bem dificeis ).
>> Prós
• HISTÓRIA : A história podia ser um pouco mais longa mas n deixa de ser foda, o universo de RDR é incrivel.
• JOGABILIDADE : O artificio do Dead Aim é bem interessante, demorei pra perceber q dava pra usar isso. Os controles no geral são bons tbm.
• PERSONAGENS : John, sua antiga gangue, seus familiares e certos secundarios ( tipo o Strange Man ) são incriveis personagens.
• MISSÕES SECUNDARIAS : Algumas missões secundarias são bem divertidas e outras bizarras.
• TRAJES : Alguns dos uniformes era bem bacana msm alguns sendo bem chatinhos de conseguir.
• JOGOS : Alguns eram bem divertido de passar o tempo, tive q completar todos pra fazer 100% ( e digo q o mais irritante foi o da ferradura ).
• POKER : Só queria aprender pra conseguir a conquista e eu nem sabia como jogar, ent pesquisei as mãos e fui aprendendo aos poucos e no final foi oq me prendeu depois de zerar o game, acabei jogando só com o Jack pq deletei sem querer o save com o John.
• ESCONDERIJOS : É bem legal de fazer essas "raids", curti mt a de Timbleweed e Gaptooth Breach.
• ANIMAIS : Achei engraçado quando aparecia os ursos.
>> Contras
• Nenhum.
>> Perso Favorito = John Marston.
>> Capítulos
• NEW AUSTIN = 4/5
• NUEVO PARAISO = 3.5/5
• WEST ELIZABETH = 4/5
• MARSTON RANCH = 4.5/5
