ooooh man i wanted to see the fish man up close...
in all seriousness, i feel like some of the interactive novel bits could have been swapped in favor of something more akin to a walking simulator or just cut. some sections just felt dragged out, and replacing those with some type of interactivity would have helped to keep the player interested (or me personally, at least). this and the camera constraints for each scene made the environments feel underutilized.
i can't really comment on the audio, i had a weird issue with the narration sounding weirdly balanced and compressed when using headphones. i'm not completely sure what caused the funkiness, when playing with my laptop speakers instead it sounded fine. I did enjoy the narration, it's at the level of a good audio book. the music adds nice ambience, but is otherwise forgetful.
overall, it's a good introduction to lovecraft's works, but know it's more of a kinetic visual novel more than anything.

What Remains of Edith Finch (2017): Me inicié en los walking simulator con Firewatch, y este no se queda lejos y ofrece un ejercicio narrativo excelente. A nivel técnico varios bugs y cuelgues, pero una historia y (sobre todo) una forma de contarla genial (7,70)

Overall, a damn good and damn hard (especially near the end) game. Worth your time, especially if your new to this sort of thing (me).

La historia es interesante y se notan los toques de inspiración directa de Twin Peaks. El gameplay, no obstante, es aburrido y muy repetitivo, explotando una sóla mecánica durante las diez horas que dura el juego. Gráficamente ha envejecido genial.
A lot of people on here seem to think that this is A Realm Reborn. This is actually the vanilla release of Final Fantasy XIV before it got taken offline. You can no longer play this version of the game, so you're just gonna have to trust me when I say it was a boring, grindy unplayable mess. Even Square seems to think so, since they nuked this version of the game off the map and built the foundations for a Realm Reborn on its ashes. It's quite an interesting saga. Final Fantasy XIV went from one of the worst games I've ever played to perhaps my favorite MMO over the course of a decade. But this version of the game was just awful.
this games ending is like being punched a million times and it just wont let you get up. it wraps up the story, the characters, and their struggles nicely, while leaving a sense they might explore this world again

Good story
Good characters
Good locations
THE JOB SYSTEM
and as always, pixel remaster makes everything better.

Un jueguecito de puzles de equilibrio super majo con un OVNI muy gracioso y una estética pixel art cuquísima. Está bien perrón.

You better watch your ass, Elden Ring; the real game of the year just dropped.
OK, memes aside, GOD DAMN this was good. I'd say it's more of a 9.5 than a 10, but because it was so fun, I'll be generous and round it up to a 10 (edit like a few weeks later: NOPE, THIS GAME'S A 10, I WAS SO STUPID FOR DARING TO GIVE IT ANYTHING BELOW THAT, HOLY SHIT THE POSTGAME CONTENT). I memed myself into having high expectations for this game without watching any of the trailers beyond the stuff shown in the Directs (which is not something you should do, just for the record. The first part, I mean.), and it somehow exceeded them. YOU CAN BE A CAR, HOW IS THAT NOT THE GREATEST THING EVER
This game has some of the best level design in the franchise, including what is now my favorite Snow World™ in any platformer; the ability to become a car; fantastic quality of life changes, like the blue warp stars that let you redo a segment for certain rewards, thank you so much; permanent copy ability upgrading, which I have no clue how they didn't come up with that sooner (and, some abilities have legitimate reasons to downgrade them for specific fights and situations, which is really neat); and so much more. Did I mention you can be a car?
Is this the best Kirby game? Probably. You can be a car, after all. As of right now (one day after beating the game), I've played a good dozen or so games this year, and this is currently number one. Only time will tell if it'll be dethroned. On the side, this game seems like it would be a blast to speedrun, gonna try it out after I get the 100%

poner el modo carrera en dificultad intermedia fue una experiencia extraña, tienes al amigo npc tipico que te manda mensajes diciendo "ey somos colegas e", pero cada vez que entrena contigo le humillas delante de un pequeño público y empiezas a celebrar un poco más de lo que deberías, me envió un mail diciendo que mis habilidades no están mal (o algo así), viniendo de él es una movida

Look, I'm sure the rest of the game is awrite, but if that robot prick asks me to help whilst also refusing to get off the train one more time I'm going to lose it. Needs to wind his neck in tbh.
