I set myself a challenge to beat every Final Fantasy (mainline and some spin offs) in order. Final Fantasy I had an amazing story, the game stayed true to its original (mostly), nice updated graphics, some nice quality of life upgrades (auto battle, diagonal walking ect.), really good soundtrack.
However the game does fall into the trap of being repetitive at times, its not very clear on telling you where to go next (I had to use a guide), and depending on the difficulty you are looking for you may consider this game too easy, as you steamroll most enemies you come across, and the final boss is massive difficulty curve as he is much harder to beat then all other enemies by far (except warmech).
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I think if you want to see where the beloved series started, definitely play Final Fantasy I.

Amazing quick game to play. There is challenging sections, secret paths and constant stabbing of a horny dragon to enjoy. (My highscore is 5:29)

Adios is an short and sweet intriguing story driven game.
Characters - Good backstory around the 2 main characters, the other ones are not as fleshed out, but the job is well done for such a short game.
Sound - Nice, simple background music. Nature sounds and farming noise effects are very simplistic, I think it could have been better with a quiet background soundtrack to make the game scene feel less 'hollow'
Mechanics - Also very basic, the game is essentially one giant cutscene, there are a couple minigames in which you throw, shoot and have options on replying to your friend.
Visuals - Not incredible, but not awful, it feels like it is one level above low poly, however the aesthetic does fit with the game.
Gameplay - Basic, once again you just walk around doing a range of activities whilst you sit back and enjoy the cutscene between you and your friend.
World design - I like the path by the fishing pond and some areas around the farm but I feel that some areas inside the house and at points in the farm could have been fleshed out more.
Goal - Nothing specific, just to get to the end of the game and figure out an agreement with your friend.
Story - Amazing, intriguing storyline. This isn't something you will find anywhere else. You, the player are a farmer who has been feeding dead bodies to your pigs from a criminal gang to get money. However, you want out and your friend comes over to discuss this with you, he doesn't like your answers, and shoots you inside your own house.
Length - 1-2 hours
Rating - 5/10

Barji Kart is simple low quality multiplayer racing game. Don't expect too much from it.
Characters - Simple cartoony meme characters, 4 to choose from.
Sound - The music is nothing special.
Mechanics - Buggy at times, but the car can drift, drive in all directions and there are some power-ups on the track as well.
Visuals - Very basic track, character and world design.
Gameplay - There are some respawning bugs sometimes, but most things work just fine. Entertaining and fun if you playing with a friend.
Level Design - Fairly basic level design, with just a floating track and a couple of raps and jumps at times, it isn't the most impressive level design for a racing game.
Goal - To beat someone else in a race or to get the best race time you can.
Story - None.
