Very short (1-2 hours) puzzle game. The art style is gorgeous and the storyline touching. I wish the puzzles were a little more challenging but enjoyed it nonetheless.

For some reason this game took me YEARS to finish even though I love the Ace Attorney series. I enjoyed the new game mechanics of the jury votes and the deductions. It took a little while for me to warm up to the characters - they’re fun, but I kinda wish they’d created their own characters instead of basing it on herlock sholmes- i mean sherlock holmes. The cliffhanger of the final episode makes me want to play the next game, though I hopefully it won’t take another 3 years to finish….

Gaiden a.k.a. the only Yakuza game i was able to 100%. Had heard a lot of good things about this installment and was pretty excited to play it!! Definitely surpassed my expectations - i’m really hoping RGG makes shorter games like this. The fighting and leveling system worked really well and wasn’t too grindy like other yakuza games. Game had a bunch of new memorable and enjoyable characters which left me wanting more!!! The way Kiryu was written felt human and heartfelt. The ending was a real tear jerker. Onto Infinite Wealth now!

Zeer goed spel. Een RPG die niet langer dan nodig is, waar veel in gebeurt. Heeft goede muziek (speelde met de SNES soundtrack). Heb genoten
Animal Well
2024
I expected to like Animal Well going into it, but not as much as I ended up liking it after completion. This game oozes personality and atmosphere! There truly isn't any game like it, even though it uses the regular Metroidvania gameplay style.
The performance, artstyle and sound-design are all immaculate. I was immediately hooked to the point where I could not stop playing for the first 8 hours, because the game sucked me in and made me forget everything else. Next to this, the gameplay is incredibly straight-forward and satisfying, and without any tutorials none the less! Everything was clear to me, from interactables to collected items.
The puzzles and platforming sections were sometimes challenging, but never frustratingly difficult. At first glance, completing the game is quite simple. But after doing so, the game sheds layer upon layer, revealing new secrets and collectables. It is truly awesome to me that Billy Basso made this all on his own, especially regarding complexity of the endgame. Animal Well will forever hold a place in my heart, and I might even try some speedrunning for it as well. Hats off to you, Billy!

Yakuza 0
2015
Completed in 2022
I find it difficult to put into words how much i've enjoyed playing this game. There are few games I can play endlessly from start to finish, without becoming bored of the gameplay or story. But Yakuza 0 had me in a tight grip and I just wouldn't let me go.
The main storyline is absolutely heartbreaking and gutwrenching at times, while the side-stories provide some great comic relief. The gameplay itself is easy to get into, though completing the game 100% is pretty much impossible for a casual gamer. Some of the minigames, like JCC, are an absolute nightmare, but that would be my only critique.
Absolutely worth playing. 84 hours well spend on my part.

A short but sweet puzzle game where communication is key. Some of the puzzles took some time to figure out but they aren't too difficult overall. It's fun to piece together parts of the storyline together with the other player. The ending really surprised me (in a good way)!
Fun game overall! I would rate this a 3 1/2 stars.

I was afraid i’d get super frustrated with this game but failing the levels actually made me want to finish the entire thing. (+ the art style is gorgeous, but no surprise there)
This DLC is a great addition to the base game! Ms. Chalice is actually very fun to play with.
