Bio
I consider games as "played" when I feel like I have grasped what the game is about and how it plays. This may be the case after only 30 minutes of playtime, but usually takes me a few hours.

My favorites here are only a showcase, I have a favorites list.

The crowned favorite here is the latest game I added to my favorites list.

My goodness what a mess of a game this is. On the one hand, the gameplay is quite fun and entertaining, at least for a while, but on the other hand, there is the terrible, impossible to follow story line, the samey mission design and the absurd difficulty spike after about 40% of the game. I had a rather fun time until that difficulty spike and had no problem with continuing the main story. Then they robbed me of most of the abilities you unlocked since the start of the game and threw an abundance of tanks, helicopters, super mutants, missile launcher troops and soldiers at me. I had to play that part 11 times until I finally managed to beat it. After that, comes a mission where you have to defend a 50 meter long glass wall for 3 minutes while a constant stream of mutant enemies is trying to break it. I tried that two times, did not even get close to beating that part and then uninstalled the game for good. I can not really recommend the game to anyone that is not into self torture.

Well I was in a mood for some eurojank fantasy rpg and so I tried out this game. I did not manage to play it for very long, but I feel like I have grasped what the rest of the game is gonna be like. I have no nostalgia for this game, so my opinion is solely based on what I have played of it in January 2024. The combat is ridiculously bad. The animations are wonky, the hitboxes all over the place and the feeling in general is not fun at all. I tried out a bow in hopes of playing as an archer instead, but the screen zooms in while you draw an arrow and this zoom is extremely laggy. So I hoped that playing a mage that mainly deals damage by the use of spells could circumvent the melee combat and the stuttery mess of a zoom with the bow combat. Sadly, the spells are not very well implemented either. The magic system seems fine with a bit of depth, but using those spells is the biggest disappointment. The starter firebolt is more consistent and practical to use then the fire ring spell, which is a rank higher in the fire magic knowledge requirement, as it is nigh impossible to hit the enemies with it. The air blast that is supposed to push enemies back and deal blunt damage manages to move enemies maybe one meter away from you and deals no noticeable damage. So all in all, the combat is an utter failure and no fun at all. The game world is fine but not memorable at all from what I have seen so far. I can walk around in the world of Gothic 1 and 2 in my sleep and find my way, but in Two Worlds, I am completely dependent on my map. The main story seems to be fine but not that interesting. So after roughly 5 hours of playing the game, I decided to drop the game for good and be done with it. I will give the sequel a try one day.

The food you make in-game looks gorgeous, I really want to get some Indian food right now...
The game in general looks amazing, especially the characters.
I really liked the story and music, the gameplay is like a cooking puzzle game, but the cooking could have been a bit more fleshed out and detailed in what you need to do before you finish a recipe (like cutting or washing ingredients first).
