Terraria, huh? This is the game ****. It's truly one of the games of all time.

Portal is a short and sweet puzzle game that comes in with unique, creative ideas and definitely does not overstay its welcome. Plus it set the scene for the masterpiece that is Portal 2.

Portal 2 is such a clean, lean, just plain fun video game. The portal puzzles are amazing and the creativity with post-potato puzzles are some of my favorite puzzles, but it's the story, narrative creativity, and voice performances that really do it for me.

It's Undertale. The sheer nostalgia I feel when hearing any Toby Fox track played after not thinking about Undertale for awile. Such a peak game.

This game is incredibly fun to play. As far as roguelikes go, I usually say they are a satisfying attempt at having the perfect run, getting the build you've theorycrafted or simply having the right rng pieces fall into the right places. With Hades, I don't feel that at all and didn't really think about builds, rng rolls, or anything like that for basically my whole time with the game, but it was still great. Hades has great, clean combat system where when you are playing well, you are untouchable. When you master a boss, you force the game to make the boss harder (give the boss new moves or a phase 2) before you will come close to losing to it again. The level of satisfaction that comes with that makes up for any loss elsewhere and makes Hades an incredibly fun and replayable roguelike.

A definitive masterpiece. The visuals, the music, the simple but masterable combat, the unique and versatile abilities, the pure joy in exploration, the sheer amount of content and things to do on the sandbox map, it all just comes together to make such a great package.

A beautiful game with a great soundtrack but not really for me. I had a good time for the time I played it, but after two play sessions and 2 and a half hours, I just never picked the game back up to finish it as it never really grabbed my attention and made me wanting to come back.

Ghostrunner is a very fun action/platformer that I enjoyed immensely. It's got a very satisfying, trial and error approach to level design and combat that I vibed with from start to credits, an adequate story with some interesting ideas and decent characters, and great visuals. All in all, I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for some satisfying combat and neon lights.

This is a great game. I have some qualms about the souls-like combat with basically any hit from any enemy staggering the player feeling bad at times, and I did get lost in all the backtracking and confusing 3d map design at multiple points in my play-through, but that was not nearly enough to make me stop playing for second as I force-throw-stormtroopers-off-the-map my way to victory.

I had some good fun with The Outer Worlds, but I just feel like something more could have been squeezed out of this to make it really pop. It was not bad by any stretch of the word, and I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a witty, choice-based game that lets you make decisions like an RPG game should.s

The Stanley Parable is incredible unique, funny, witty, and just some good ol' fun. The game lets you say "wait, wait, wait, what if i do THIS?" and then lets you do it and traps you in an infinite cycle of spiraling offices forever until the end of time.

Video games purely as a medium to tell a story. It doesn't have good combat and the only other gameplay is basic puzzles that can be annoying at times, but it's still a beautiful game that I would recommend. If you like a very psychological story and graphics that definitely stand the test of time, play this.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a very focused and enjoyable game. If you are looking for a great story and graphics that have aged well enough, this is a great game for you.

My first Remedy game and a great foreshadowing of what the studio would come to produce.

I had a great time with Deepest Sword. It's just good, clean free 2d steam game fun.

Here is a review for blobert I wrote a couple years back. I would like to take a minute to talk about my beloved game, Blobert. This is gaming where you take control of a master of the arts of the *fast* (asterisks indicate speed). The *fast* is really embodied by this game blobert in all aspects: The speed: you are fast The character: blobert is fast The enemy: troblob is fast The cars: car is fast The spaceship spaceship(s) are fast too!All these *fast*(s) colliding at the *fast* of light create the speedrunner's dream game that is *blobert*. Pros: - *fast* - Protagonist and antagonist have funny names - fun, fast movement system that Dean must have spent many hours getting to its current state of near perfection - humorous mountains of dialogue that could entertain you ALONE without the gameplay - has gameplay on top of that last bullet point-good for speedrunning (youtube search "Blobert Speedrun - " for numerous examples) - more vehicles to drive (or fly) than the average gaming - It's funny how Dean Campagnolo wrote in his description of the game "Blobert" by Dean Campagnolo "Blobert is a platforming gaming" as I assume this is a typo, and Dean meant to type "Blobert is a platforming game". I really just find this quite the hysteria inducing scenario. - Great music made specifically for the game's soundtrack, must have cost many days (and nights) in the studio. Cons: - Minimal character customization, it's great that you can choose to have the "other" gender (as it cuts down on speedrunning time), but otherwise lackluster character customization. - I play league of legends - hard, like dark souls-fairly short (tho this is not a con if you are trying to speedrun it)Thank you for reading my review of "Blobert" by Blobert is a platforming gaming where you have to skillfully maneuver yourself around obstacles to escape the evil clutches of Troblob. Along the way you run into Fabby the Fairy who aids you on your quest for vengeance. Final Verdict - 9.5/10 In all seriousness I've had fun enough speedrunning Blobert with friends and joking about Blobert and talking about Blobert that I think I can accurately rate it a 9 / 10.

Supervive was very fun while it lasted. I sunk around 200 hours between early playtests with the game when it was "Project Loki" and the real launch grinding trios with my friends. I would have loved to continue playing but sadly and frankly, nobody plays Supervive.

Omega Strikers is the second best MOBA out there, second to whatever MOBA I'm probably playing as my main competitive game at the time. It's got undeniable charm and a strong sense of "one more game before bed" that has me sleeping 6 hour nights.

This is a really fun game. It's got great, flashy movement, almost to a fault as while I wanted to focus on utilizing the movement tools provided to me to gain great speed, the difficulty of head-shotting enemies is proportional to how fast you are moving. Aside from that, it's very fun and I'd recommend it.

I love free things. This game can be hard, but a cute little art-style, fun stylized graphics, satisfying gameplay, and a price tag that makes it hard to pass up! I won, you should win too

I enjoyed Chowbie's previous game, Wedding Witch, and while I didn't vibe with this one as much, it's not a bad game and you know if this is for you just by the thumbnail.

I actually had a good amount of fun with this gooner game. All in all, it is a very standard survivor's-like, but idk if it's the decently unique combinations of rogue-like systems, cute artstyle, or just the furry potion, but there's something I really liked here. It's probably just the furry potion. I also got all the achievements.

Oh, I've played my fair share of competitive Super Smash Brother's Melee. I think it's pretty fun.

An absolute masterpiece. Can't really put into words how fantastic this game is. This game transformed me from someone who doesn't understand horror to someone who's currently looking for a new game to stretch that itch. It solidified me as a huge fan of Remedy's alternative storytelling and gets me excited for wherever Remedy will take this universe every time I think about it.

An awesome game. It's another Remedy game so it's another banger. With solid combat, phantasmal settings, unreal visuals and scale, and just such an intriguing method of storytelling, I can't recommend this game enough.

I've sunk about 50 hours in, it's very addicting. Makes sense it's spawned a whole subgenre.

Very fun, very creative, very glad I experienced this. As far as purely coop games go, I think this is one of the best you can play.

This is a great game. I love the world, the story, the visuals, the score, and most of the times even the characters.

I usually don't like sequels because the best parts of story games for me are origin stories and experiencing new characters but this game manages to do all that fairly well and do everything else way better than the first game, which was already great. The world gorilla games have created here is insanely vast, probably the largest game I've ever played, but it's also the most full of fun stuff to do I've ever played, two things that don't always go hand in hand.

A very solid linear story game. Combat was solid, story was consistently entertaining and didn't overstay its welcome, good progression with fun abilities to unlock, a varied cast with multiple story arcs, and some absolutely jaw-dropping visuals and settings. There's just no aspect I disliked.

Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk is a creative 30 minute long experience.

This is a very creative game and and an excellent way to spend an afternoon. I feel like im going insane, but in a good way.

Much like the first Max Payne, I played this in 2023 over the course of an evening and definitely enjoyed my 7 hours discovering the origins of the Remedy I now know and love. Just had to download a few unofficial patches to get it to run without (that many) bugs

I played this in 2023 over the course of an evening and definitely enjoyed my 9 hours discovering the origins of the Remedy I now know and love. Just had to download a few unofficial patches to get it to run without (that many) bugs

My gripes with some aspects of the combat not withstanding it's a 10/10 game man, just play it. The way this game does story is without a doubt, the single best implementation of conveying story in a 2d game I have experienced.

Consistently thought provoking, hard to stop playing once you start, great character preformances, impactful and powerful choices. It's a great game

This is the only game that while I was playing it for about 6 hours each day the other 18 hours of the day I was either thinking or dreaming about playing the game. It's only one of the best games ever made.

I put 37.2 hours into this game over the course of 3 days. I think that pretty much sums up my feelings on this game.

Firewatch is an amazing story, a great vibe, and solid gameplay. I loved the 5 hours I spent with firewatch and hope you do the same, it's only an afternoon after all.

Wanderstop is a 16 hour therapy session and I'm all here for it. Keeping a lookout for any game that Davey Wreden is involved with in the future.

Very hard to put into words. OneShot is an excellent experience I'd recommend to anyone.

One of my absolute favorites. I played it for 8 hour days on release in 2020 through all the bugs, my car warping through the ground, grass showing x-ray through buildings, people's hair disappearing, and a couple crashes and still loved it, that tells you a bit about how much I love this game. 200 hours now and 100% completion, yea this is an amazing game.

One of if not my favorite game of all time. It's just a perfect blend of masterable souls-lite combat, absolutely stunning animation and art design, adorable and relatable characters, fun set pieces and environments, a banger score, and a flying dog god to top it all off. It was made by an animation studio so I get the art being amazing, but everything else is top notch too. Played it once on Epic Games release, then bought and played it again on master mode once it dropped on steam.

An incredible experience, the first time I've ever sat through the credits **** and wished they were longer so I had more time to just..... wow. I could see how this needs a little while to cook for some people before they really get into it but to be honest, I was hooked from the start. It's so unique in how it entertains, but I truly think anyone could enjoy death stranding if they spent enough time with it.

An absolute masterpiece man. Combat: Insanely satisfying in the same way Sekiro is. Spending a couple attempts at a boss to master parrying each of their moves and then having the perfect fight where you parry everything, setup your wincon, and then completely explode the boss just feels amazing. Story: Yeah, Wow. Visuals: Easily AAA level visuals and a very creative vision for a world. Music: Probably my favorite soundtrack for any game ever.
