I spent approximately 3 hours on this game only to entertain myself during short breaks. It's one of the dumbest games ever. Some puzzles can be solved by randomly clicking certain objects, some of them indeed have inner logic. People say this game is pure comedy gold, but in my opinion most of the gags aren't funny at all, they're just "situations". However, the games is pretty cheap, so the amount of fun I get for my money seems fair. It's 2.5/5 from me.

It's one of these games I call "a quest for those who don't like quests". There's a small set of locations where you solve some low-to-mid complexity puzzles to get another piece of a story. The story itself is okay-ish and pretty mysterious. Probably not the best choice to play start to finish if you're not a fan of quests and puzzles. For me, it was an excellent choice to fill work breaks.
1988
It's good to come back to the classics once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time for it as I had in my childhood. Therefore, I save scummed and I don't feel ashamed. It's 4/5 from me.
2021
The game has amazing style. It looks like Psychonauts that met Tim Burton's cartoons. Music is outstanding too. However, it's pretty boring. Battles are repetitive and when you stumble a new group of enemies, you sigh sadly. If you have nothing on your backlogs, you may like it. It's 3.5/5 from me.
2023
In space, no one can hear your "Fus Ro Dah." It's 3/5 from me.
2023
It's a game for those who wants to chill for a couple of evenings and loves the 80s that never existed. You know like purple neon and retro wave kind of stuff. I liked the idea of interactions with the world from the studio but it has some unrealized potential imo. The story itself is a mediocre trashy horror, so don't expect too much. Puzzles are pretty easy to solve if you pay attention. I don't like the controls, for example, the dialog window appears in a specific area and when I looked in another direction, I missed a QTE. Which is not good. I liked the references to classic horror movies. Buy it on sale, and you won't regret. It's 3.5/5 from me.
1986
I believe it was mind blowing back in 1986. Tons of mechanics + some imagination, and here you go, a perfect adventure for a young late 80's NES gamer. However, it's hard to imagine how one can beat the game without using walkthrouhs. The only imaginable alternative is spending hundreds of hours figuring our where to put a bomb to unlock the next dungeon. Limitations of the platform make controls clunky which is not a good thing also. It's a 3/5 from me.
It's a pretty good dame with some TLOU and Horizon vibes. I like all the parkour stuff. Fighting is pretty repetitive but not horrible. What really bothers me is clunky controls and awful camera. You have to beat the game and beat incovenient camera angles on top of that. Probably I should've chosen "Normal" instead of "Hard" to keep my mental stability safe. It's 3.5/5 from me.
2018
Not much to say about this one. A good way to entertain yourself for an evening or two. Pretty catchy golf/puzzle game with some ecological/social comments. It's 3/5 from me.
2021
This game is a masterpiece (kind of). I like the artsy style and some visual findings. The story is quite good but it lacks any revelations so to say. The only thing that bothers me is clunky controls. It/s 4/5 from me.
1990
That's a classic that brings to life many old memories. The only disappointment is the boring final boss. It's 4.5/5 from me
2023
I really liked the first Alan Wake game and as far as I remember, everybody considered it a so-so game. All of a sudden, everybody likes the second part and claim it the 2023 game of the year. IMO it's pretty boring. As much as I liked the True Detective-ish first hours of the game, I don't like everything that comes after we play as Alan Wake. It was boring as hell. It's 3/5 from me.
I honestly believe this game doesn’t receive all the attention it deserves. Probably, it’s because it was launched on GmaeCube and not on more popular PlayStation/Xbox. The game, however, is one of the best titles of its generation. The way the story is served is unique. I like how it embraces many epochs and shows how evil plans can be prepared over the centuries. The fighting mechanics are pretty funny at first. Chopping the enemies' heads and hands entertains you for a few first hours but then you either run towards the enemies to get to the interest point faster or smash them into heads like it’s Morrowind. Focusing on enemies is kinda of laggy imo, and it’s another reason to not partake in fights. Also, it destroys the shooting mechanics. Shooting is not so “juicy” in this game, so I prefer melee combat. The camera angles are pretty disturbing as well. There’s a semi-fixed camera in this game and sometimes you just can’t see your enemies. Wrapping up, I’d recommend this game to everybody interested in 2000’s videogames. It’s 4/5 from me.

Great addition to the GoW series. Improved graphics, new weapons, and nice story. The bad part is repetitive gameplay. One arena after another is what you'll get. Fights are pretty juicy and fun tho. I do not regret those 15 hours that I spent on playing. It's 4/5.
I was overhyped for this game. It was my first mistake. Buying it was the second one. I didn’t like the brown boring corridors that were like 90% of the game. The plot is not so intriguing also. We’ve seen multiples stories like this one, and if you investigate all the alternative routes, you’ll know what happened on this jail planet pretty quickly. Most of the screamers are predictable. They’re annoying, not scary. There’s nothing unique about the game. Sometimes it wants to be Dead Space (duh), sometimes it’s Doom, and sometimes, it’s Resident Evil. However, fights with multiple enemies are pretty enjoyable sometimes. I like the “juicy” shooting. Also, the upgrade system looks pretty nice, with this 3D printer and stuff. In conclusion, it’s like Dead Space, but there’s no space, so it’s just dead. It’s 2.5/5 from me.
