๐พ Life is Strange: Before the Storm (๐บ๐ธ 2017/2022)
Prequel that puts us in the shoes of a beloved character from the first entry of the LiS series. Despite being in hands of a different studio, it maintains the spirit of the kickstarter of the saga. However, the story is not as compelling, being the three episodes of โBefore the Stormโ an emo sorrow fest not suitable for all moods .

๐พ Four Last Things (๐ฌ๐ง 2017)
Genius point and click adventure heavily influenced by Monty Python. Clever use of copyright free material to introduce us in a wacky renaissance world. Only negative thing is that itโs very short.

๐พ Metro 2033 (๐บ๐ฆ/๐ฒ๐น 2010,2014)
Adaptation of the first book of the Russian sci-fi saga. Although it follows the plot, the story is too diluted by action segments and you can tell the story is moving forward abruptly. Nevertheless the post apocalyptic world is compelling and has memorable moments.

๐พ The Gunk (๐ธ๐ช 2021)
Lovely queer sci-fi puzzle platformer with good art direction. Overall is too simple and straightforward which might be appreciated by busy people. The story is not very original being the relationship between the main character and her partner the highlight of the game.

๐ฅ A Jugglerโs Tale (๐ฉ๐ช 2021)
What a lovely little tale. Itโs not revolutionary and far from perfect, but it is gorgeous to look at and the story is sparkled with twists and darkness. Another short and sweet experience.

It took me several years to complete its story in short bursts because I wasnโt invested enough. Itโs an overrated entry in the series but overall its ok.

๐พ Marvelโs Spider-Man 2 (๐บ๐ธ 2023)
A great jump from the previous entries both technically and gameplay wise. New York never felt better in a video game before. It keeps the fun and the dopamine flowing. Despite honouring the comic books, the story didnโt get to me as much as the first entry. Great game overall though.

"Yakuza 6: The Song of Life" marks the end of an era in the long time ongoing saga that, not only brings Japanese contemporary noir stories, but is also a faithful rendition of their lifestyle. This entry also features Takeshi Kitano portraying one of the main characters, making it an epitome of yakuza storytelling.

๐พ Silent Hill: The Short Message (๐ฏ๐ต 2024)
I still have to find out how it relates properly to the Silent Hill universe, besides the name dropping in a collectible. However this short entry is very unsettling. I rarely finish a game with a knot in my chest like I did. So far this is the best horror experience I had in 2024. I don't recommend it f you are sensitive about mental health issues though.

๐พ Gylt (๐ช๐ธ 2019)
Stealth horror game heavily influenced by Neil Gaimanโs eerie stories. Plot is simple enough and has a discourse about bullying. Visually is appealing although not a fan of the static cutscenes.

This little indie game is an exquisite experience. The lo-fi vibes in how it looks and sounds makes it the epitome of cozy gaming. Despite the simple goal of reaching the top of a peak, itโs so much fun to explore and meet lovely characters. Itโs a short hike indeed, but itโs up to us to enjoy the journey at our desire pace.

(๐ธ๐ฎ 2013)
Playing this Slovenian title felt like going back to the 00s with all the over the top action games like the first God of War. Feels like treating yourself with unhealthy comfort fast food but without the after regrets. Itโs a solid hack and slash with decent enough visuals and a cheesy story. The fact that itโs short plays on its favour.

๐พ Praey for the Gods (๐บ๐ธ 2021)
This is a brilliant homage to Shadow of the Colossus. The colossi battles are as good as their inspirations, you can tell the love in the amazing work. The game couldโve been perfect if they left it that way. However, in an attempt to make something different they introduced survival mechanics, taken straight from Breath of the Wild, absolutely irrelevant in an empty world. Just beat the colossi and ignore the rest.
