I love story games, and OPUS has an incredibly cute and endearing main character following a tragically hopeless search. Unfortunately, the beautiful narrative doesn't make up for the abhorrent lack of gameplay. This is some of the most repetitive and uninteresting gameplay I've ever seen. The plot and lovable characters motivated me to reach the end, but they do not make up for the rating.

Fun to play around with premade ships, and the movement in any 0-g space game is engaging. The process for making a ship is somewhat intricate and the UI isn't very user-friendly, so I never got around to learning to make my own ship.
If I had a goal in mind and tried to learn construction instead of messing around with workshop stuff, I probably would have had more fun than I did.

This is the reason I place video games in the same category as films and books, in "works of art". The best narrative I know told in the best way it could be.
Not visually impressive, but I couldn't care less. The style fits its purpose and works perfectly to create an unsettling mood throughout the entire ~18-20 hour playthrough.

A fantastic exploration game which encourages you to venture through nothing but sheer curiosity. The environments are incredibly creative, and the lore is captivating to uncover without being so dauntingly complex. I felt the ending was lacklustre on my first playthrough, but that's because I was bringing expectations that I shouldn't have.

For a game whose title is about the narrative, it had an incredibly lacklustre and disappointing story. The parkour was fun at times, and the movement was okay, but it could also be incredibly difficult to control yourself in the air for certain jumps. It was very short, so I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "waste of my time", but I'm very glad that I got it for free.

While I do agree with most that Pokémon has gotten worse over the years, I don't agree with how much. These games are not bad, and people are expecting too much from them. The graphics, especially when compared with other Nintendo titles on the Switch like Breath of the Wild, leave something to be desired. But aside from that, it's a perfectly fine Pokémon adventure, with a similarly childish but not unentertaining plot and silly characters along the way.

Amazing game that perfects its gameplay and doesn't try to ruin it with an elaborate story. I can imagine a worse developer trying to explain the key mechanic with some stupid quantum sci-fi device, but Pillow Castle takes an almost psychedelic ability and puts it in a dream-like environment for a surreal and enjoyable experience.
