Dragon Age II is all about making the best out of a difficult situation. Given the circumstances around the game's development process, it feels almost like a miracle that BioWare managed to create a decent product.

There are plenty of reused assets and tilesets, which, to be fair, is not an entirely new topic for people who played some previous BioWare titles. But in the case of Dragon Age II, it feels a bit excessive at times. This also results in a reduced variety of enemies.

But what saves this game are BioWare's usual strengths: storytelling and character development.

The story isn't excessively long; it is intense, and it feels like the decisions you make really affect the outcome. Sometimes in unexpected ways.

The characters created by BioWare always feel believable, and the companions especially feel like real comrades in arms. Each one with their own views, motivations, and peculiarities. DA2 companions feel on par with their counterparts from the previous game.

Another important part of the gaming experience for me personally is the music and the voice acting.

The music is definitely on the same level as Dragon Age: Origins, creating the perfect mood for an epic adventure. The main theme is reminiscent of the main theme from the previous game, using the same motif and resulting in a feeling of continuity.

The voice acting is great. Every character's personality shines through the acting. My personal favorites have to be Varric, Merrill, and Isabela.

A pleasant surprise for the players who enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins is the return of some of the characters. Mostly as NPCs, but one of them even as a playable character.

All in all, Dragon Age II, despite all the difficulties, is a great RPG worthy of BioWare's name. 100% recommended for the fans of Dragon Age or BioWare games.

A good but short hidden object game.

A great hidden object game for all the cat lovers out there.

I must admit I never actually played Fallout when it first came out, because I wasn't interested in the post-apocalyptic setting at all. But I finally decided to give it a try, as I love classic RPGs (BG1&2 and Planescape: Torment are among my favourite games of all time).
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I really enjoyed playing this game. Of course, some of the mechanics and especially the controls feel quite dated in 2020s, but the story is very good and the freedom to proceed the way you want is its strongest point.
If you love classic RPGs and somehow you haven't played it yet, I recommend Fallout 100%.

Please, Touc the Artwork 2 is a rather unique hidden object/puzzle game that uses works of art in a fun way. Definitely a must play for anyone interested in hidden object or puzzle games.

It's incredible how such a simple concept of just swiping left or right to decide can produce such a fun game with so many possible outcomes. This game is all about experimenting with your choices and balancing the powers in order to keep your character(s) alive as long as possible and, hopefully, being able to eventually reach the good ending.

A rather entertaining chess puzzle game. Maybe not the best one out there, but definitely worth spending a few hours on, if you love chess.

This is a very fun and at times quite challenging puzzle game. It has enough puzzles to keep you entertained for hours.
