6 puzzles, 5 difficulties, simple yet beautiful art, inspiring quotes upon completing a puzzle, lots of aids to solve puzzles like viewing only corner pieces or specific quadrants. Relaxing game.

Marvel Rivals is a love-letter to both online co-op hero shooter fans and Marvel fans. The variety of characters and abilities and their team-ups are awesome! I love playing as a strategist and it's always such a rush to see that "VICTORY!" screen after a hard-earned battle. The comic book art style is beautiful. The sound and level designs are fantastic. This isn't a pay-to-win game as all the characters are readily available. The MTX pricing is reasonable and you can earn the premium currency by completing in-game missions and such. Some of the cosmetics are truly marvellous. I have already bought two cosmetic bundles: Invisible Woman (Malice) and Psylocke (Vengence) and I am afraid I might purchase the one for Luna Snow (Shining Star) if I continue playing.

The game's connectivity and matchmaking are decent, the gameplay is super fun and easy to learn. The UI and UX are clean and fully animated. Nice to see leaderboards, replays and highlights. There are issues with frustrating teammates. As with any game, it's a blast to play with a group of friends.

Give it a try. This is a 10/10 experience for me. Excelsior!

P.S. This game introduced me to many Marvel characters that I haven't heard of before; Jeff the Land Shark is my favourite.

I found 100 kawaii jellyfish.

★★★☆☆

Some things are too small to notice and since there's no option to zoom in either, it's pretty difficult to do this without using hints, which itself is on a cooldown. Nice to see multiple pictures with cute corgis and bone toys to find.

Satisfying gameplay and I love the art style and lighting effect when you find the critters.

★★☆☆☆

It's an alright "find hidden objects" game. Some levels could've been better.

★★★★★

I found 100 hidden frogs.

★★★★★

Another year without a valentine but at least I found 100 well hidden romantic cats.

★★★☆☆

A story through the years told without words or even people, but through unpacking and organising items in different homes of a person. It is a beautiful idea for a game, but I have to admit, I felt tired of the point and click gameplay towards the end. It is a cozy game, but not particularly fun all of the time in my experience. The pixel art style is cool.

I did not enjoy mulling over the perfect home arrangement planning so I'd just started placing things roughly in their right area so I could make some progress. Perhaps that isn't how this game is supposed to be enjoyed, and maybe it's not for me. If you're someone who enjoys taking things slow and loves organising things, this game might appeal to you better.

I was pretty bored while playing this game. Even though I'd enjoyed the first few levels, it became a chore to unpack the later levels. Nice subtle storytelling though, it was simply well done.

Hazelnut Hex was a delightful surprise for me. It's a retro-inspired arcade horizontal bullet-hell shoot-em-up. I love the cute and expressive art style! Everything about this game is oozing with charm, creative energy and the most important thing, it's so incredibly fun to play.

In the developer's own words, "The challenge of the game wasn't 'can you beat this level', it was more 'how well can you beat this level.' You're not playing a level over and over again to beat it, you're playing because you're having a blast."

The enemies and bosses are unique and fitting to the five different levels. The soundtrack is just amazing. Excellent replayability, there's 2 main difficulties and 3 different magic firing options. Good accessibility options like darkening the background and an option to change your hitbox appearance are nice!

Highly recommend. I started eating cereal for breakfast everyday after this. Thanks Nat.
