"I came for the spooky dolls, stayed for the emotional trauma."

Dollmare is like getting invited to a cute tea party with porcelain dolls, only to realize the tea is cursed, the dolls are sentient, and you're the main course.

The atmosphere? Creepy enough to make you check under your bed IRL. The sound design? Every giggle felt like a personal attack. Story? Let's just say I now have trust issues... with toys.

Pros:
✅ Bone-chilling ambiance.
✅ Lore so deep I needed a life jacket.
✅ Dolls that stare into your soul (free existential crisis!).

Cons:
❌ I can’t sleep without a nightlight anymore.
❌ One doll asked me to "stay forever." Tempting but... no.

Final Verdict: If you enjoy being psychologically unhinged while collecting trinkets, Dollmare is your new favorite nightmare. Just don’t blame me when you hear whispers at 3 AM. 👁️👁️

"World War Z: Bot Squad Adventures"

I’ve spent hours surviving the apocalypse with my trusty AI teammates, who are equal parts competent and passive-aggressive. They’re like survival-savvy coworkers who never miss a chance to point out my mistakes.

Take too long calling the elevator? "Anytime now!" (Sorry, I was busy looting like a raccoon.)
Accidentally shoot one of them? "Watch your fire!" (Maybe don’t stand in front of my shotgun?)
Forget about the screaming maniac summoning the horde? "Take out that Screamer!" (Gee, thanks. I was admiring the view.)
But their real superpower? Sensing Creepers. They’ll casually mention “There’s a Creeper” with the emotional investment of someone reading the weather report... while I’m obliviously walking past a suspicious car.

Five seconds later...
Creeper: "Surprise face snack!"
Me: "Oh great, thanks for the early warning, guys. Really nailed it."

Despite their snark and selective helpfulness, these bots are surprisingly good. They heal me, cover me, and don’t hoard medkits like real players probably would. I haven’t tried multiplayer yet, but unless humans come with Creeper-radar installed, I might stick with my sarcastic robot buddies.

10/10 - Would get passive-aggressively saved from zombies again.

"Solo ghost hunter, pro-level panic"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I went into Phasmophobia thinking I could handle a few ghosts alone. Spoiler: I can't.
I’ve never felt more vulnerable in my life than when I was staring at the smudged camera feed, realizing my only teammate was my own rapidly increasing heartbeat. I spent 90% of my time hiding in a closet, the other 10% screaming at a Poltergeist who clearly has better communication skills than me.

But hey, the ghosts are polite—if you count murderous as polite. Just don’t expect them to help with the evidence collection.

10/10 would recommend… but only if you like running around in the dark pretending you have a plan.

P.S. I’ve yet to try multiplayer. I’m scared to know what it’s like when you’re not the only one running from a demon.

"A Perfect Game for Solo Hoarders"

As someone who's exclusively played with bots (multiplayer is still on my to-do list), I can confirm that Back 4 Blood is the ultimate game for anyone who loves hoarding. The bots are excellent at one thing: letting you loot everything that's not nailed down. Weapons? Grab ‘em all. Health packs? They're all yours. Ammo? You bet! Meanwhile, the bots are content to shoot things and get stuck in corners, leaving you to do all the hard work of collecting everything in sight.

The best part? No awkward teammate arguments about who gets the shiny gun. The bots don’t care — they’ll stand there, occasionally yelling “help” while you’re off snatching up every last bit of loot. You’ll never run out of stuff to pick up... just never mind that they’re occasionally getting eaten by zombies while you’re distracted by a random medkit.

I get to be the hoarding champion in my own solo apocalypse.

10/10 Would loot again.

Crime Scene Cleaner is a gritty, darkly satisfying game where you tidy up after the mob, but let's be real – the highlight is the DOG. After every intense mission, scrubbing blood and hiding evidence, you get to go home and pet your adorable dog. It’s the perfect balance to the grim work you’re doing. Forget the mop, I’m here for the fluffy companion that makes the chaos a little more bearable. 10/10 for the dog alone.
