Meskipun terasa cepat ulasannya, tapi aku suka duluan. Love is in Small Things merupakan kombinasi permainan hidden-object yang dipadukan dengan cerita romansa yang menyentuh hati. Ceritanya berasal dari kartun animasi karya artis asal Korea Selatan, Puuung 퍼엉.

Meskipun gameplay Love is in Small Things terasa repetitif, ada satu jenis gameplaynya di mana setiap kali pemain mengulang kembali episodenya, objek yang harus dicari akan berbeda dari sebelumnya. Dengan total 30 episode & setiap episode terdiri dari 6-10 bagian, game ini bisa aku nikmatin dengan santai apalagi dengan harga di bawah 100K.

When I first watched the trailer, I got goosebumps from the visuals and music. I decided to buy the bundle (GRIS and NEVA), and after my first playthrough... Oh god... The art, the story, and especially the music (which I really like the most)... Everything about Neva is 100% emotional experience. The journey of Alba and her courageous companion, the bond between them... Damn... I cried... twice. It touched my heart deeply. The message doesn't just tell.. it makes me feel it.

The gameplay is so smooth. The combat mechanics feel fluid, and I really enjoyed fighting the corruption alongside Neva as Alba’s companion. The puzzles are simple, and I love how each chapter is interpreted through the changing seasons.

I just realized, while writing this, that the creators of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons were involved. After 5 hours of playing this co-operative adventure game, I can say A Way Out is an awesome co-op game that you and your friend can enjoy!

This is absolutely worth the experience. The plot/story is absolutely great and I had so much fun playing with my friend. We worked really well until the end (we got chemistry, gang!). The game features mini-games scattered around that you and your friend can enjoy. There’s also a mix of QTEs and other unique gameplay experiences. I especially love how they designed the split-screen mechanics, including the seamless transitions and the way you can see events from the other's perspective.

The bond between the two main characters, Vincent and Leo, is very likable. I loved Leo, he’s a 'straightforward-plan' guy, even though I ended his career when he is afraid of heights. The game allows you and your friend to choose between playing as Vincent or Leo in the online lobby, adding the fun and replayability.

Back then, this was my first game from Quantic Dream before Heavy Rain. It was a great experience, though the graphics are outdated today. But at that time, the visuals were good, and honestly, they still hold up well during my second playthrough this year. Beyond Two Souls features great performances by Elliot Page (formerly known as Ellen Page) and Willem Dafoe. The game takes you through the remarkable life of Jodie Holmes. The first question I asked myself back then was, "Should I play Original or Remixed?". It's up to you.

I recommend playing the Original version first to learn on how QTE works, but the plot jumps back and forth, which made me go, "Oh, so this is where it all started," or, "Ah, this connects to that plot," during my first playthrough. the Remixed version tells Jodie’s story in a straightforward, chronological order, starting from her childhood until she's grown up. I suggest play the Remixed version for second playthrough. The gameplay also offers solo and duo. In solo mode, you’ll control both Jodie and Aiden, while in duo mode, one controls Jodie, other controls Aiden.

Decided to buy and try it when 2K offered a Halloween bundle, and it was worth the price. The bundle included The Quarry Deluxe Edition, Bioshock 1 & 2 (original & remastered), and The Darkness 2 for only $7 USD. If you're familiar with or have played The Dark Pictures Anthology or Until Dawn, you might enjoy this game too.

The visuals are stunning, and the cast, including Justice Smith, Lin Shaye and Ted Raimi did a job. Only there are a couple of downsides to my experience. No 'Skip Cutscene' button, I had to restart from the beginning all over again for another playthrough, and no option to remove the black borders. That said, I enjoyed it and am starting to get into this type of interactive horror game, though The Quarry feels more like an interactive horror movie.

Oi, yang.. kenapa.. di block woi?..

Nov 27th, 2024. I HAVE played this game.

As usual, answering series of questions but this one is free and comes with a new theme & a cozy experience to finish in one sitting to find your Familiar. And as always, to keep my Familiar.

Squirrel!
As long as you treat your Familiar with kindness, patience, and love, (and keep them well-fed so they don't get hungry), they will be your best friend through thick and thin!
