A fun, little game that's very comfy to play. It feels like you're experiencing something straight out of the 2000-2010 era. The game can be challenging at times, but overall, it's not very difficult.

And yes, I like rats.

Another uninspiring, even soulless, offering from Supermassive Games, especially for its high price tag.

It's a shame to see such a great franchise falter. The gameplay is repetitive and basic, the locations are utterly long, dull and lack any meaningful interactions, and many ideas are recycled from previous Little Nightmares in the most boring ways. There is just nothing you can really enjoy.

Overall, after playing Little Nightmares 3, I just wanted to go to sleep. It's a genuinely tedious experience that I can't recommend given its cost.

If you've never played a good horror game — or any good game for that matter — you might enjoy this one.

Prey is a very unique game that starts off a bit slow but eventually skyrockets to incredible heights in both gameplay and storytelling. It's severely underrated.

There's a lot of freedom and different ways to play — Prey is a true immersive sim. However, it might feel tedious for those who prefer strictly linear gaming experiences.

It's also stellar horror. There are far more scary moments here than in, say, the recent Silent Hill F or Chronos: The New Dawn. I strongly recommend at least to try it.

What’s the point of lowering prices after release? I paid way more for the pre-order, and now you just dropped prices by 10-15% from the original price! This is just a disgusting move from the devs and the publisher.

The game itself also runs terribly. There are a lot of performance issues. TSR and DLSS don’t work at all.

It was painful to play. The blurry graphics, low FPS, and stuttering were unbearable. I’ll refund this mess and will NEVER buy anything from Leenzee again.

Talos Principle: Reawakened is the game I’ve enjoyed very much. It's a work of pure art for me.

I didn’t play the original, and I feel a bit sad about it — I believe Talos Principle could have totally changed my worldview if I’d played it back in 2014. It’s hard to imagine the impact this game would have had on my younger self.

Talos Principle looks gorgeous on UE5. I also like the photomode here — it’s really good.

Great game for YouTube Shorts, anime fans, and anyone who dreams of having a relationship with a waifu.

For others, it's a pretty linear and repetitive gaming experience with zero unique points and a lot of mindless walking and talking.

It’s not a horror (though it has several jump scares).

My favorite childhood game. It's pretty simple, but unique and a lot of fun.

I was thrilled when my mother bought me the CD with Impossible Creatures. It felt so cool to combine different animals into amazing mutants. Even today, this game can surprise you.

I like the scenarios with Velika La Pette the most.

Game-breaking bugs (in my playthrough, characters were permanently stuck in doorways), a poor variety of choices, boring gameplay (very few QTEs and only a handful of fight scenes), plus bad optimization — this is what The Casting of Frank Stone has to offer to the player.

Story-wise, it’s nothing great, so the overall gaming experience is overwhelmingly terrible. I can’t recommend it even to Dead by Daylight fans.

Амнезия — это тот самый хоррор, от которого стынет кровь в жилах.

Одна из самых страшных современных игр с интересной историей и продуманным геймплеем. Здесь хорошо проработан каждый элемент: давящий на психику дизайн локаций, пугающие звуки (от шорохов до шёпотов), гнетущий саундтрек, внушающие страх противники и довольно необычный игровой процесс (особенно для 2011 года), где нужно не только беспомощно прятаться от монстров, но и следить за состоянием рассудка персонажа.

Но есть у игры и объективная слабая сторона: монстры тут довольно глупые и постоянно деспавнятся. Зная это, можно избежать почти любого столкновения с ними, если удачно спрятаться: монстр просто исчезнет из локации через какое-то время. Частые головоломки также могут понравиться не всем, т.к. сильно сбивают темп прохождения. Да и сама первая Амнезия уже, конечно, немного устарела, вышло множество игр, лучше развивающих и реализующих ее идеи (напр. Outlast или Alien: Isolation).

Но Dark Descent я проходил много раз, и он всегда меня пугал. Игровой мир первой Амнезии получился действительно внушающим какую-то постоянную паранойю: будто бы сейчас что-то пойдет не так, и из-за угла внезапно вылезет монстр, хотя ты знаешь, что там его на самом деле не будет.
