Helldivers 2 is an absolutely wonderful game and experience. From the calm moments of looking at the wonderful landscapes to the screams of fear and joy when a swarm of termanids and bots begin dropping on your position is unmatched in the gaming scene.

I've never laughed as hard nor had moments of pure epic joy when escaping planets with my friends after doing our democratic duty. The dev team clearly show how much love and passion they show with each update and in their discord server.

I can't recommend this game enough.

A very charming yet challenging game!

The quote "It's not the destination, but the journey that matters most" comes to mind for this game (and not because constant updates keep being released with no true ending out yet!) ONI is very much a game of mistakes and learning from them as you try to keep your little colony alive and thriving (if you can count the constant threat of lack of oxygen and mysterious deadly creatures your duplicants only cuddle buddies thriving)

This game is def suited to those who love slower-paced challenging games that will teach them new ways to play and different strategies for surviving a few extra days!

I give ONI an 9/10!

Short Read:
8/10 - The Awsome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a short, sweet, and very effective game that tells the story about a young kid named Chris as he figures out how to spend is free day doing what he aspires to be, a super hero! With very minor issues here and there, the game has a lot to offer in it's own right!

Long Read:

The major strengths of this game is the child-like imagery that's portrayed by young Chris and his fascination with super heros creates this unique comic book effect, taking what would normally be semi-dull "interactive gameplay" that this genre of game is well known for. While the main gameplay aspec is still "push button to do the thing," the extra dazzle of having Chris "activate" his super move to perform chores and tasks give a comedic and wholesome meaning to each button press.

The game is rather short, with completion ranging in between 1hr 30min - 2hrs depending if you are trying to do absolutely everything that the game offers, which is surprsingly a lot despite being a free-to-play title and advertisment for Life is Strange 2. This is both a great thing, as the game can be completed in a single sitting and the expirience is kept short and enjoyable, it also turns into one of the games bigger flaws as it can be easy to accidentally advance the plot and miss out on more backstory. Luckily the game is still enjoyable a second time around as you ttry to play with every action figure and defeat the terrible Snowmancer!

The soundtrack is what is normally expected from Square Enix and Don't Nod, as they liscense songs that perfectly fit the mood and tone of the game to a T. However, like the short gameplay time, this does cause some minor annoyance as the same song or same sounding song will end up playing within a few minutes of each other dependent on the tasks you complete, which can be a little annoying.

The story and relationship between Chris and his father is still one that should absolutely be expirienced and enjoyed, especially since the game time is short and it's a free game at the end of the day. You should absolutely give it a look at!

Honestly one of the most surprising and hauntingly good games I have ever played, especially a free-to-play title. I won't say much more, as this game is a one that has to be played blind! So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

While rather short and simple when it comes to the story and choices, I still quite enjoyed the expirience.

The visuals felt very warm and homey, as did the appropiate music to each scene. The story does feel rather short however, almost to sudden with certain aspects pertaining to the romance and other story aspects, but hey, its a slice-of-life feel good visual novel with a cute character and even cuter relationship. And real relationships can be just as random and unexpected.

One thing that surprised me in a good way was that despite how the story could've gone, and how the main character is styled, it never went raunchy or oversexualized anything. It was cute and safe all the way through, so big respects for that.

Now, my major complaint would have to be a few scenes with how Ceri was drawn. As an artist, I completely undertand how difficult it can be to draw certain proportions of a character, but there was 2 scenes (Not going to Spoil) that really threw me off from the game. Different parts of the character is drawn really disproportionatly, which is a bit distracting. However, this isn't to much a bother, as everything else is super cute no matter what. And the overall artstyle is just really cute.


Despite that. Cute Game. Cute Story. Cute Characters.

A good short expirience that leaves warm fuzzy feelings in the heart.

A game that inflicts much nostalgia to those who played games like Harvest Moon. A great game to just sit for a few hours, take care of your farm, animals, and relationships, even if you had a bad day.
From having a small garden and growing it to a massive/profitable farm, to becoming the greatest adventurer and miner, theres no lack of excitement here.

The festivals amd events are fun, random encounters and talking with the wide variety of characters, and just being a farmer, what more can you ask for? (Besides the constant flow of updates adding more and more content to an already great game!

Great visuals, amazing and unique characters, and overall fantastic atmosphere, this game gets a solid 10/10

Easy to learn and pick up, with integrated Steam Workshop, this is an amazing game to add to your library if you are a fan of sandbox zombie survival games.

Graphics aren't much to look at, but with a community constantly creating great content, and the base game having much flavor, this is certaintly a good time killer game.

While much of the community is, in a sense, very toxic, the game itself holds up to be pretty fun. Mechanics difficult to master but fun to learn, and games can get pretty intense. So far a overall good multiplayer expirience.
