Emotional rollercoaster!

The game is short but delivers an amazing interactive story with cool artwork and great music and sound design. You are in for a treat especially if you're into storytelling games!

I am always a fan of espionage/assassin games since Metal Gear. However, I didn't play any Hitman games before, and this one was my first.

From starting the game, you can notice how neat and organized the menu and the planning screen are. It takes some time to know where is where, but it's easy to learn. The controls are basics and nothing too complicated. The tutorials do a really good job explaining the game. The graphics were amazing.

The campaign is short but hooked me enough to be interested in the second game. It consists of six missions besides the tutorial ones. There are some online missions created by other players if you want more content. You can create your missions as well, which is neat. I don't have an issue with the limited number of maps, especially after seeing the amount of detail and work that went into each one of them. There are so many ways to finish your missions, whether you want to follow their "opportunities" or create your own plan.

Playing the game this late, I've missed all the Elusive Target missions. That's a bummer since they looked fun. That's my only complain, IO! :P

It's a really fun game if you want to experiment and try different new strategies.

A masterpiece I've never heard of before.

Oxenfree is a unique game in a "walking talking" game, as the developers name it. I saw from multiple forums people saying it's a mix between Until Dawn and Life is Strange. Both games are good, but this statement doesn't give this game the credit it deserves.

The story is so polished and amazing! The characters feel real; the interactions and conversations between them bring them to life and make them relatable for teenagers. I am interested in sci-fi/supernatural games in general, and this one didn't disappoint. Your choices matter, but the story is not "tailored" for your experience naturally. There are of course fix endings with your actions change the outcomes. These kinds of games can't write a whole new story for each one of us, and I hate when seeing comments revolving around this issue, especially when there is an incredible voice acting like Oxenfree here.

The gameplay is simple. Move around, select your responses (or not), or do both. The game is HIGHLY repeatable, at least twice (trust me on that :), I don't want to spoil anything). The achievements, if you're onto that stuff, are easy to get, although you need to play the game two or three times (got everything under 17 hours).

The music is well thought in this game. Aside from it being amazing, it's not a random ambient soundtrack throughout the game. No. It each area, each character has its own theme, sometimes subtle changes but I still count them. This is well made to the point they scattered a lot of secrets in the soundtrack DLC that hints to clues inside the game. The game still has some secretes still uncovered, which is pretty cool.

I grew to be a fanboy of this game and maybe kinda biased in my review. I really liked the game and can't wait to see what's next for Night School Studio!

I got into the game with low expectations, but was amazed! Child of Light is a simple turn-based RPG game. Although I am not into turn-based games in general, I enjoyed this one very much.

First things first, the art is just absolutely stunning!! It's unique and simple, yet effective. Along with the amazing soundtrack (especially the ending song omg!!) they compensate for the shortage of narration throughout the story for me. The story itself with the side quests are basic and nothing unique about them. Nonetheless, I found myself attached to the characters until the end. The ending was kinda rushed but I was fine with it.

The game mechanics are simple. The timeline idea with firefly helping you in real-time was a nice touch differentiating it from other turn-based games. The crafting and leveling systems are easy to understand too. Maybe my only issue with the gameplay is how you get some of the characters late in-game. There is not enough time to experiment with them unless you're grinding. Also, there is not an option to select your party before starting any battle. Although they make up for this by not penalizing party changes mid-battle, but still I found it annoying.

The game has initially two difficulties: story one and expert. Just that. Nothing in between! I found that strange. The expert mode is challenging and sometimes irritating, especially if you're putting your skill points blindly as I did early in-game XD. But once you figure out the roles of each character in your party and how to utilize their abilities effectively, the game becomes much easier.

Although some of my comments above, the game is worth playing especially since it's a short one. You can't go wrong with the visuals and the soundtrack <3!

For a Telltale game, you'll get the usual experience.

The story happens in parallel to GOT the series events with many of the characters appear as side characters here. You play as House Forrester, which I think their story arc resembles the Stark's very much. They are a small, old, noble family, and that's my problem. From the beginning, you feel like you're useless and you don't have power over anything. You get presented with hopeful choices just to get knocked down immediately after it. This repeats throughout the story. It made me feel sad for the characters, but also it doesn't "tailor the story" by my choices. Basically most endings are exactly the same. I know this is a Telltale game, but I just thought this would be different.

The game is Game of Thrones-y enough to be immersed in this universe again. Lots of nostalgia from remembering certain events and seeing old characters. The game did pretty good incorporating these into the experience. However, it's a bummer the story won't continue with all what's happening to Telltale Games. So I'm not sure if it's worth to play unfinished story.

TL;DR: Enjoyed it as a Telltale game. Too bad the story won't continue.

Deserved every bit of appraise it receives! The game is really well made!

The gameplay is polished and precise for this kind of genre. The soundtrack is awesome! The story is intriguing with charming characters and sidestories that motivated me to finish every bit of the game. The DLCs added a decent new content to the game, although the last one was a bit much XD.


Early bosses, imo, felt really easy in comparison with latter ones, but still they are unique enough to keep the game entertaining. Every area in the game feels unique, with its own atmosphere, enemies, and even soundtracks.

The list of complements does not end.
tldr: treat yourself and play the game!

Absolutely amazing! Prepare your manly tears because this game is heavy.

The storytelling and the soundtrack are what makes this game (and To The Moon) really great. The tone of the story changes from one act to another, but the overall goal is pretty well written. And what makes the story of Finding Paradise really memorable for me is how relatable the characters of the story are, from their silliness to their hardships and regrets. I've played To The Moon 4 years ago and still listen to its soundtrack until now, and I think Finding Paradise will be the same.

Kan and Freebird Games don't disappoint as usual. If you didn't play any of their games yet, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

The game is short and sweet. Stunning visuals. Relaxing soundtrack. Cool gameplay mechanic to top it off.

BEAUTIFUL. JUST BEAUTIFUL.

It's been a while since I've played aesthetic games like Journey, ABZU, etc... But this is just another level. It combines great visual, outstanding soundtrack, and a fun gameplay in one MASTERPIECE. Every scene in the game is a screenshot worthy! This game is just a pure art. Do yourself a favor and GET IT!
