Very fun game, but it feels like the most toxic relationship you'll ever be in.

If you liked the original Slay the Spire you'll love this one! Takes all the best parts from the first game and builds off of it, and adds 2 new and very fun characters for you to learn with fun mechanics for each.
Only gripe with the game so far is some of the Relics and Cards are basically worthless/do really nothing special so getting them kinda makes it feel just, not good, its hard to explain like, it has nothing to do with being strong or anything just, when you get a "reward" that does nothing, it doesn't feel that good.
Apart from that though, the game is very good! Runs really well and haven't encountered any bugs or glitches so thats nice, all in all games great would highly recommend! I just hope maybe they can make the more "useless" relics/cards have some kinda, special thing like the others do.

I like big tough men <3 (And big bugs x3)

Might be a very lacking review because I wanna keep it as spoiler free as possible but Dispatch is a really amazing game that is visually impressive (both animation and music)! Dispatch has a surprisingly emotional story with many funny, heartwarming, sad, an even some freaky moments mixed in that really just get you so invested in its world and attached to all the characters in their own personalised way.
I would highly recommend this game if you love story games that really just grab you in and take you to this whole new world! (You might also recognize some familiar voices from some truly amazing people!)

Just got the first trailer for it, so happy to see Artorias! (Also cannot wait to fight Artorias as Artorias XD)

Have not finished it yet but damn this game is gorgeous! Just like the original Hollow Knight the music and artstyle go hand in hand for a really creative and diverse world, making every new area feel just that much exciting to explore!
The new movement options/upgrades make the game feel fast but not like, too fast to the point of being stressful, would be very fun to try and speedrun someday XD
Though I will say, some of the like, "jumping puzzles" seem very clunky with these new mechanics, this might just be a skill issue idk but like, sometimes it throws me farther then I aimed for an is just, ehhh-
The bosses I won't tap too much into cause they're best experienced on your own but oh my god they are so good sofar, they feels like an elaborate dance. The healing is a little funky but you'll get used to it, instead of healing one mask at a time you will recover 3 (maybe this increases later? idk yet lol) but it makes some (not all just some, trust me... XD) encounters seem like, less threatening which can be subjective but I don't mind, I can see this being a turnoff for some though.
Anyways I'll add more to this as i progress further but for now, i would highly recommend if you liked the original Hollow Kight, def was worth the 6 year wait XD

Elden Ring Nightreign is so much better then expected and was worth the wait! I was originally concerned with them bringing back old bosses but also quite excited/hopeful and I'm happy to say that they did very well, especially with the smelter demon slowly turning into the blue variant, that was super cool to experience! The new bosses are also super fun with very MMO-like attacks/what can be called "puzzles." It adds a new rhythm to each fight making you and/or your team/friends have to coordinate how you will go about these new experimental situations. The final nightlord is also just such a spectacle and probably one of Fromsoft's best boss designs ever.
The soundtrack is also very memorable, the themes that each nightlord have fit their design, "personality?" and arena near perfectly! (I know all the arenas are basically the same, i guess im talking about their atmosphere?)
Overall this is another amazing game from Fromsoftware and I'm proud that even though they tried something new, it worked out so well for them and is so much more fun then i think any of us expected!

After 1,319 hours and a little over a year I have finished the MSQ (and several side-quests XD) of Final Fantasy XIV and I can officially say this is one of if not my favorite games! Final Fantasy XIV was my first ever MMORPG and I went into it kinda hesitant since it was so different then when I normally play but, thanks to a good friend of mine teaching me how to play, it was easy for me to get into it. And because of this friend, I have met amazing people and have been introduced to a really fun and engaging game! Anyways time for the actual review XD

Final Fantasy XIV is a MMORPG with a really deep and entertaining story that is full of very memorable (and not-so-memorable) characters that build up this overwhelmingly thought out and complex world! The story might start off pretty bland (or in my opinion it did) but it pretty quickly pulls you in with specific things that i won't say for spoiler reasons but when specific events start happening, you just have to know what happens next and then soon you find yourself at the end of the first expansion (ARR - A Realm Reborn). Heavensward is the next expansion and has some of the best story telling, pacing, and presentation I have ever seen in any game and it is the peak of this game in my opinion, that's not to say it gets worse, some might argue it does an others may not, I would say it never gets as good as heavensward was but it never gets "bad" per-say. Anyways, this review is getting too long so I'ma go over some other just more side/fun things this game has to offer! The game offers many ways to connect with other players outside of main content like having the Gold Saucer which is like a in-game casino with many mini-games, challenges and board games to play with friends and make new ones! There are also these things called "Fates" which are like, timed world instances that you can do with other players and help each other out, level up, or just do them to kill time. Triple Triad is a really fun, competitive card game that lets you collect hundreds of cards and use them to challenge npc's, friends or compete in tourments. There are many more fun side things to do in this game to kill time when you are just wanting to like, not do the msq XD! Also Final Fantasy XIV doesn't lock to into your class! You can change it at any point and experiment with classes/jobs you might find interesting or fun!
With all these great things in this game, unfortunatly there are some issues I had with it during my play-through. My biggest issue personally is since its a pay-per-month game, some months I couldn't afford it, which made it hard to keep track of parts of the story, not only that, the story is so long, good but long, to the point where its hard to keep track of whats happening/what happened. Albeit that might just be a me issue, but there was parts where I just felt like the story became a huge blob of chaos and unorginisation lol. Another issue with it was some characters where just so like, "basic?" and followed very commonly used tropes/stories which made them very unmemorable and even just annoying at times, like, "ughh this person again??"

But yeah, this is my review about Final Fantasy XIV and what i loved and didn't love about it. I really hope this helps people decide if they want to play this game or not, in the end it has flaws yes, but, I would argue that despite these flaws it is still a amazing, fun and entertaining game through and through! There might have been some stuff I missed I don't know but yeah, again, hope this helps at least someone and if it does I hope you enjoy the game!

I think I'm starting to realize how mistaken I was for this game, once you get past the Adaptability annoyance and optimize the settings (or at least, what you can of them XD) this is a very fun game with some cool and interesting boss designs! Dark Souls 2 also have objectively the best hub area in any of the games, from its beautiful scenery to its fun and bizarre NPC interactions it really makes the hub seem like a place you belong and almost like a home. Other areas in Dark Souls 2 are also very pretty and intercut making you wondering and excited to find where to go next! Dark Souls 2 also has a pretty good story, not as good as DS1 and DS3 with their connection but then again, DS2 doesn't necessarily follow their storyline/is kinda like its own entity, plays a little different then the others.

Overall the games good, totally gets over hated and I admit to joining in that bandwagon but once you just, get the game optimized to your liking it truly is a fun and pretty cool experience that I would highly recommend to people who like the souls series! Don't be strayed away by its hate, under its few but very prominent issues, there is a really great game! 9/10 game!

After I've 100%'ed this game (as of early access), I can easily say that Enshrouded is a very fun survival craft game for being in early access/development. Playing it with friends makes the experience all the more better with some fun an memorable moments. The exploration in this game is super fun! Being able to find new areas as you progress in the game is so smooth and very satisfying. Enshrouded does have some cons though, the major one in my opinion being the absurd and inconsistent fall damage. You can fall from a relative high place and take little to no damage, but then I slide off a small hill and get killed instantly, there are other smaller issues but those are more of just, like, early game jank that should hopefully be fixed as the game gets updated. Overall I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys survival craft an exploration games!
