Can’t wait for this game to be unfairly and completely ripped to shreds before annoying online personalities in a few years release “Starfield 3 Years Later: A Hidden Masterpiece?” This is inevitably a Bethesda game after all, but there is something magical in waiting for a new release. Todd Howard’s passion project love baby - so intricately dense and in parallel shallow with the same issues that plague anything he touches that, if I can’t lie, was exactly what I expected. And at the end of the day I can’t really complain - Hundreds of hours will be put into what’s made here - exploring, scavenging, talking and raiding until I’m left slamming my head wondering why I even bothered. Don’t even bother reading many reviews. It’s Starfield.

Omori

2020

this is a sentiment that has been echoed by many other people on this website, but omori and its fanbase are exactly what people thought undertale and its fanbase were like in 2015.

i think ultimately, omori's commodification and desire for marketability with a subject as touchy as childhood trauma and mental illness for the sake of making a shoddy attempt at replicating early rpg maker titles turns omori from a 5/10 mediocre horror rpg to one of my least favorite pieces of media.
you spend a good chunk in the game in a frustratingly obnoxious trauma induced headspace with a woobified cast that ultimately has no depth, and the other half in the real world which is barely much better, all of which to set up badly done, laughable horror while still making these sensitive subjects digestible to people who would otherwise be put off by them. the whole game feels like it was designed to sell merchandise of these uwu so sad teenagers and i wouldn't be surprised if that was 100% the intention with making this game, as the entire experience is deeply shallow.
if you want an actually nuanced depiction of childhood trauma and mental illness that doesn't try to make a dark and troubling topic marketable for teenagers, read oyasumi punpun.

i already made a review of omori that i will be keeping up since they were my thoughts when i had initially played the game, i just wanted to give my thoughts about the game now that i've sat on my experience with it for a few months.

i think better than no man ski

Maybe my favorite SF game, Arika's unique characters and mechanics build amazingly on Super Turbo's groundwork and the music and artstyle are to die for

The finest rally racer on the Playstation. Truly a fun title, even today, with one of the best UI designs in racing games to boot.

Atualmente o melhor e mais completo Bomberman com foco no battle mode. Ah, sim, é de graça, atualizado até hoje e roda em qualquer computador.

Dá pra jogar online ou offline em partidas que, se você quiser, podem ser construídas e modificadas da forma mais minuciosa possível, ou então através de um modo rápido de jogo em que o computador toma conta disso para você, e torna cada rodada diferente e aleatória que inclui tantas opções diferente que dificilmente você vai jogar a mesma partida duas vezes.

Tem todos os power up, todos os coelhinhos e várias coisas extras que homenageiam todos os jogos.

O multiplayer aqui é aquela bagunça gostosa, mas sem aquela putaria do Super R Online de que os personagens pagos (sim, com dinheiro de verdade) são melhores que os gratuitos em tudo.

A cereja do bolo é o fato de você poder escolher jogar com TODOS, sim, TODOS os bomberman e personagens variados de todos os jogos além de suas cores alternativas. Cada partida te dá um dinheirinho para gastar na compra de alguns personagens fixos, ou então você pode testar a sorte no gacha e ver o que sai. Tudo isso é cosmético, e quando você não está jogando uma partida, está se divertindo vendo um boneco mais bizarro que o outro.

Muito legal.
Fuck Konami.

more care and love than any of the konami ones

I spent many many hours playing this game in my early years as a gamer on my PS1 with my brother - and it was only 50% because there was a half-nake lady in the first cutscene of the game. Assault Retribution is nothing special as far as run & gun games go from the late 90's prior to the FPS craze of the 2000's - upgradeable weapons, an endless amount of enemies, and stupid hard boss fights. The game does offer some nostalgic fun for those looking for a sci-fi shooter on the PS1.

Dispenser of Justice! Hero of the Downtrodden! Those are just a couple of DeathSpank’s other names in this hilarious action RPG from Hot Head Studios. You play as the silly hero DeathSpank in his quest to find The Artifact and kill the evil king Lord Von Prong. LVP wants DeathSpank’s magical Thong to become eviler, but in the meantime, you need to do some saving of the downtrodden.


The overall story isn’t much, but the banter with NPCs is what really makes you crack up with the obvious stabs at RPGs and other games. It will take different shots at the genre without even saying anything some times like one quest has you pleasing an orphan in the Demon Mines to put in your orphan bag. You must run into town and get everything she needs, but the store just so happens to have everything you need when you get there like a cell phone and a pony! This is an obvious jab at RPGs whose stores always have what you need.

The game also has some more childish jokes like collecting unicorn poop, finding help letters in dragon poop, and helping villagers make their dirt and stone soup taste better using various animal parts. While this humor may not be funny to all, most will get a kick out of it and DeathSpank is chalk full of it. Of course, the gameplay is important to and DeathSpank lets you assign four different weapons at a time to use and there are a ton of weapons, armor, and different types of potions to use. You can even eat various foods to heal up like pizza, fries, magic mushrooms, and root beer. When you whack enough enemies you get to unleash your Justice meter which are power-ups for certain weapons. The game consists of a huge map that you can wander around and travel via outhouses spread throughout the world. There are a ton of quests and you’re looking at about 10-15 hours of gameplay here that is very entertaining.


The game has two major flaws and this is the fact that no matter how high you level up or how good your armor is you will be guzzling potions and healing items every 5 seconds. Enemies respawn when you re-enter an area and you can’t move on to some until you are a higher level or those enemies will kill you quickly. This makes progression slow at first and forces you to complete quests because that’s the only way to really level up. You get very little XP killing enemies even if they are a higher level than you. I found this very frustrating and made the game less enjoyable because of all these weird quirks. I also found that some quests were vague on where to go and using fortune cookies spread around give you hints, but those are just mostly useless.


The visuals are nice, but technically the game is very simple, but there is a huge variety of enemy types and you really won’t get bored on that end. The best part about DeathSpank is the humor in the dialog and the funny voice actors who over exaggerate voices. Even as an action RPG the game is fun and challenging for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary to play, plus it has co-op play for anyone wanting to share the fun and jokes with a friend.
