This is definitely not Don't Nod's best game, but I still believe it’s overhated. The characters are well-written, and the graphics hold up well, even by 2025’s standards.

One aspect I didn’t quite enjoy was the Mind Palace - it felt like one long "Max's Nightmare" from episode 5 of Life is Strange 1, which many players found a bit dull. While it had potential, it didn’t fully click for me.

That said, if you ever find this game on sale, it’s definitely worth checking out.

As someone who has played (and loved) all Life is Strange games, I was excited when Don’t Nod announced Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Now, after playing Tape 1, I can say without a doubt that they have delivered. It absolutely captures the same vibe as the original Life is Strange, and even the four main characters evoke that familiar Max and Chloe dynamic.

The atmosphere, music, and storytelling are just amazing, creating a deep sense of nostalgia for the late 90s. The only real complaint I have is that, while the game looks stunning, it suffers from performance issues due to running on the worst thing that ever happened to games - Unreal Engine. Still, I can’t wait for April to finally experience Tape 2.

Firewatch delivered such an unforgettable experience with its stunning visuals and amazing storytelling. The exploration felt smooth and immersive, with every discovery adding depth to the mystery. For less than 2€ during the Steam Sale, it was an absolute steal, and it was worth every cent for such a captivating adventure.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review

My opinion

Shadow of The Tomb Raider is the 3th game I've played from the Tomb Raider series. Every game that I've played until know from this series wasn't let me down. Each game it gets better, not only the graphics (that by the way are astonishing), but also the storie line, with amazing and interesting characters.

As in any game of this series, you'll have almost an infinity of missions to do and places to be and explore.

Unfortunatly, I had many bugs in this games, unlike Rise of the Tomb Raider, that some impeded me from going on the story-line. Sometimes I had to go to a early save, like half an hour before, that made me give up playing this game for a week or so.

Something that I didn't like and pointed out on my Rise of the Tomb Raider review was the Shooting Mechanism. This time it was more realistic and I had fun this time using guns. Also, jumping ledges was improved.

As the other games, the behaviour and aspect of the characters are stunning. They really felt real, with human emotions and amazing body expression. Developers really made a good job doing this game.

Finally, let me just say that I recommend this game. If you've never played any game of the Tomb Raider series, I recommend you to start with a older game, so that you can understand the story-line from the beggining.

FINAL SCORE -> 09/10

- Some major bugs that prevented from advancing on the story-line

+ Graphics were made even better than Rise of the Tomb Raider. In my opinion, they were almost at the same level as Cyberpunk 2077.

A Plague Tale: Innocence Review

My opinion

I've been waiting for almost a year now for the next-gen update for The Witcher 3 so, in the mean time, I tried A Plague Tale: Innocence. They're entirely different games, but I wanted to experience first how RPG games based on the medieval times would be.
This game didn't let me down. I had lots of fun playing it for a long time (it takes 10-15 hours to go though all the gameplay).
A Plague Tale: Innocence isn't the most advanced game graphics wise, but it is really good anyways. It had amazing landscapes and "town" streats.
Something that I have to say is "HERE TF IS THE ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ KID GOING????!". Come on, Hugo was always running away. I know kids are like this, I was like this, but ♥♥♥♥... This was the only thing that wasn't great in the story line.
I absolutely recommend it, especially to everyone that's waiting for the next gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Wunt.

FINAL SCORE -> 08/10

- WHERE IS THE ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ KID GOING??
- Some bugs on checkpoints

Far Cry 5 Review

My opinion

I had never played any game of the Far Cry series. All of them don't atract me to much, however this did stand out. This one plays out in rural America, where you play as a Deputy who only had to arrest the Leader of a Cult, Joseph Seed. But of course, it goes bad, and who find yourself alone, having to rescue, not only the other police officers who went in to arrest Joseph, but also locals.

Far Cry 5 (Campaign Mode) is an amazing Open World, full of missions, outposts, new characters. In total, you have 3 different sectors, each of them controlled by one of Joseph's family members. Throughout your gameplay, you will kill each of them, one by one, until you get to Joseph himself, where you will need to make a very important choise.

Far Cry 5 has amazing graphics, not the best I have ever seen, but it is definitively on top 3. However, the game probably has the worst AI I have ever seen. I don't know what to say, but NPCs were so "stupid", driving off clifs for no reason, getting stuck in places (sometimes having to restart some missions because of that). Other thing I also disliked about this game, was I constantly getting captured and brought to different bases, especially on Jacob and Faith Seed sectors. Kind of boring then having to find a vehicle just to get back to where I was.

I usually hate cutscenes, but I really enjoyed theses ones. They where engaging, because of the way the different characters acted, and made the plot just a lot better. The only down side was that there is no way to pause them. That's a thing Ubisoft should change when Far Cry 6 comes out.

I only played Far Cry 5 on Campaign Mode. Arcade mode, basicly the multiplayer part of Far Cry 5, didn't really caught my attention. Tried it for about 5 minutes, and I had enough, and went back to Campaign Mode.

No doubts I will be buying Far Cry 6, not only because it will be the newest Far Cry game, but because it will have Gus, probably the most interesting character that the series has ever had - oh, and it's a nice way to get all of Breaking Bad's fans.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review

My opinion

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great adventure game. This was the first game of the Tomb Raider series that I've played. Probably not the wisest thing I could have made to fully understand the game's story, but even though, I understood most of the things.

Really liked playing it. The story-line is well scripted. Because Rise of the Tomb Raider is a open-world game, you will have an almost infinity of different places and missions to do.
If you're going to play this game, get ready for the puzzling challanges. Sometimes I spent over half an hour just trying to think what could I do to go through a simple door.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is probably the game with the fewest bugs that I've played until now. The only bug that I've encountered was when I glitched through the ground .
Really enjoyed the stealth mechanism, the graphics (amazing scenes). In my view, the best part of Rise of the Tomb Rider are the characters. They felt really real, not only "phisically", but how they behaved. They all had different purposes and astonishing personalities.

The only negative aspects of this game were the Shooting Mechanism (on shooting scenes, it didn't look too good) and sometimes your movement, especially on ledge jumpings, where it would sometimes jump to places you didn't intend to.

If you're thinking on buying this game, go ahead. I'll be (probably) buying Shadow of the Tomb Raider soon.

FINAL SCORE -> 09/10

- Shooting Mechanism
- Movement (when jumping across ledges)

Wallpaper Engine Review

My opinion

At first, I thought Wallpaper Engine was just a waste of money, I thought why would anyone use this. But after I saw a video showing how to make your Desktop look nicer, I immediately bought it. Combining Walpaper Engine with other apps such as Rainmeter, make your PC look a lot better. At least for me, it doesn't affect any performance. It usually only consumes 0.1% of my GPU and around 10MB of RAM. I recommend it!
-> 10/10

(nothing)

+ Makes your PC look hella nicer.
+ Doesn't affect performance.

Business Tour Review

My opinion

There really isn't much to say about Businnes Tour. It's a really good game to play with your friends. But it became worse when they made you pay a monthly subscription to create private parties with your friends. Since then I haven't played Business Tour anymore. Although it's only 0.99€ per month, I won't pay it just to play it 4 or 5 times a month. But if you think you would play it more than me, go right ahead!
-> 6/10

- Subscription to create a private party.
+ Good to play with friends, especially now when we're all home.
