Sad Satan
2015
yoo why my pc so slow all of a sudden..??
What you have here is a 90s point-and-click adventure game adaptation of a 60s short story, with heavy involvement of the original author, that (in my opinion) surpasses that original work. Unlike the short story, there's an underlying theme of hope within the hopeless walls of AM. Hope, not for salvation, but closure, to make amends with your past. Great story, great presentation, absolutely a game worth playing.

Fear & Hunger
2018
I was writing the fifth paragraph of my review, and then accidentally clicked on one of my browser's bookmarked websites, losing all of my progress. It felt exactly like my first 6 hours into this game, so I think that this is way more symbolic than anything that I could have ever written.
NieR: Automata
2017
automata is a really interesting game that does a ton of weird and bold stuff that I hope to see more game experiment with. it didn't land for me in the same way it seems to with a lot of folks, but I do really appreciate it for what it sets out to do. also, it does have one of my favorite ending sequences in any game ever.
This is my personal perfect game. My love for FF7 and its remake games are unmatched and this game was one of my most precious experiences ever. It would be hard to just put my thoughts into words.
The world is gorgeous and feels alive with beautiful and cozy towns such as Kalm and feels lived in with the remnants of the republic sprinkled throughout. The atmosphere of this world is phenomenal.
Everything character has my heart and their relationships with each other are fully fleshed out and feel real. The new additions to the story are great too, especially Elena who im a big fan of :>
The story had me hooked all the way through and anytime i wasnt playing i was thinking about it. Perhaps my personal bias towards Aerith definitely added to the story as well but every character has their time and fits perfectly. The new parts of the story, while confusing at the moment, are super cool and really add even more to the already perfect story from the original. Finally seeing more of Zack throughout the game was fucking awesome too.
The combat, just like remake, is still outstanding and every fight is enjoyable, with some tough fights inside too. There is never a boring moment throughout the story segments and it kept me engaged throughout the entire experience. The abundance of minigames are all uniquely fun and add to that special fun vibe that ff7 has super well.
The ost is easily one of my favourites ever. Every song blends so perfectly into the atmosphere and really helps to immerse you in the world around you. Obviously expected out of a FF game though.......
However i do think that rebirth suffers from having too much content at times. Spread throughout the world are ubisoft checklist like objectives (except theyre actually in a good game) that i personally found a little overwhelming at times, leaving me to pause for a bit to take a break. Eventually i stopped doing the more basic tasks and did the side missions and protorelic missions instead, which i found kept me more engaged. Even with these issues though i still think they dont take away from the overall perfection of this game and couldnt recommend it more
Easiest 10/10 i could ever give a game and i dont think ill ever forget about it, or stop talking about it for that matter.

Ico
2001
Finally got around to fully finishing the game for myself and its still the masterpiece i remember it being years ago.
I think its pretty easy to compare games like Ico to newer games but considering the time it came out and its influence on gaming as a whole i think forgetting about how much games have changed should be taken into consideration while playing something like this
Its not often i cry at a game but damn
wish they used the other game cover for this site though

BioShock
2007
holds up surprisingly well. the first 3/4ths of this game really is one of the coolest gaming experiences out there. game really nose dives at the end though.
Not even fun horny. Just pathetic drooling horny. Gameplay also mid at best. Horrible horrible horrible.
