Average Diddy party
(seeing RJ Lake in the credits was a jumpscare)

Watch Dogs 2 is a fun experience all around, with great missions that allow loads of creativity on how you tackle stuff. However, letting me play for 12 hours only activate an Ubisoft connect kill switch making it so i have to reinstall your stupid USELESS proprietary software makes this such an abhorrent purchase. Ubisoft connect broke on me, wanted to patch the game or something and now the program wont even launch. Uninstalled watch dogs 2 because I seriously don't care enough. I had enough hassle with having to change default settings or else face horrible glitches tied to the games framerate, and also no ps5 controller support, making me have to launch the game in steam big picture mode if i wanna play it, ugh. The universe really didn't want me to play this game. 7/10.

fun and silly, flash game esque, can't wait to see what Burger Kurger makes next! 8/10

Great!!! Yet short!!!!! and a little easy!!!!!!
Small saga is a game where u play as a cloud strife mouse and u get a buncha really well written party members and experience a bizarrely politically charged yet cutesy short rpg, made me feel emotions, it was also a fun romp with good side characters. 8/10.

Golly gee is this game an experience. A wide ARG style story about an N64 game pulled from shelves. When it works, it's amazing, forward thinking, and genuinely horrific. However, the game has an addiction to jumpscares, so much so it eventually became exhausting for me to play. There's some very good puzzle sections that are ruined by the way the enemy encounters are setup. and in the endgame "hide and seek" section, i was yelling obscenities at my screen from how much hoopla the game was tossin at me, spawning 3 of the 5 monsters on top of me and having the other 2 walk into the tiny room im in and do circles for 5 minutes isnt fun, and they have far too wide of an agrro range for it to be fun to avoid them, and whenever you're seen(not caught, just seen) you get jumpscared. I probably missed out on a lot of great lore from the game's voicemail things because frankly i had to have my volume so incredibly low at all times because the jumpscares are super loud and got me to throw and almost break my headphones in shock multiple times :( i love everything this game wants to be and is trying to do but it annoys me to hell and back in it's latter half. It's still worth your time though. Whatever the dev makes after this i can guarantee will be amazing and worth checking out. This is just a prelude to something truly great, i can feel it.

The last leg of the campaign drags quite a bit with no new weapons and many defensive sections that just feel tacky, but holy crap the first 2/3ds of this game were amazing. Every 20 minutes a new weapon or fun thing gets introduced, the level design just feels immaculate and the story chugs at a perfect pace. Ravenholm and the Bridge level especially were big highlights for me. I could never beat this as a kid because i'd get bored, but actually playing through it today, it's still an extremely fun and innovative experience. I'd honestly say it does things better than most FPS campaigns. The story is interesting albeit i wish the villains got a little more uhh hype?? I love hearing Dr Breen ♥♥♥♥ on me when im murdering his entire army, I wish I just saw more of the BIG alien dudes running the show, I know the two episodes after this are prolly gonna do that but meeeeh, thats my opinion on THIS game not THOSE games!
8/10

It's pretty alright, nowhere near as good as HL2, game feels annoying to play sometimes, story just feels like a railroad between 2 better games (even though i havent completed hl2e2 yet)
6/10

Slay the Princess is a slightly short, philosophical, psychological horror visual novel. There's many branching paths and the writing can be quite cryptic in an endearing way. I love what this game had to say about death, and what meaning it brings to life. This game tries to say A LOT in the 3 hours your first playthrough will last. But upon another playthrough it's crazy to see just how many different paths are accounted for. The people who made this clearly had a unique vision that is always being achieved masterfully. The artstyle is charming and dark, the writing is sharp and comedic when it's not getting uber-deep. The voice acting is impressive, and stanley parable-esque sometimes. I dig this game a lot, I like what it has to say, and i believe someone like me could get a lot of emotion out of it, most definitely worth playing.
9/10

SPOILERS AAAAAAAAAA
This game was so good,
it's like Undertale for even GAYER people.
just joshin tho, everyone who likes a good story should play this.
Groundhog day type stories are always extremely endearing and fascinating when done correctly. And this game does it near perfectly, the story had me stressed, angry, tearing up, laughing, everything. The characters are immaculately written, I love all of them (especially Isabaeu). Solving this games mysteries is extremely rewarding. There are certain things i wish it tackled more (the depression and insanity of Siffrin, and wish it extrapolated more on the dissapeared country he hails from, then again, i could just be missing some interactions that told me more) The only thing I think could've been stronger (and this is just me personally no hate intended) is the soundtrack, other than the final final encounter, nothing stood out as more than passable for me in the music department. Overall, this game is awesome, I love it so much.
9/10

(REVIEWED UP TO ACT 2) This is one of the best FPS games i've ever played, and it's not even finished! Movement tactics are off the charts, every weapon feels different, and every weapon has mulitple variants that have different alternative fire options. The game constantly throws new mechanics at you, throwing grand setpieces and spectacles too. The bosses here are so top notch I was trying not to SCREAM when certain stuff was happening. This game has me so excited for more I think my head might pop off. I'm sad I left this mostly unplayed for the past 2 years I owned it... 9/10
