Reluctantly revisited because I miss the kind of space RPGs that BioWare used to be able to make. Hoping that after all these years they improved it, but it's still lacking any of the spark from the originals.

Right off the bat, being forced to download the EA application... An annoying barrier to just play the game, it’s frustrating and unnecessary.

When I originally played this at launch, it was a buggy mess. Faces were awkward, animations were stiff, and it felt like nothing had been fully finished. That seems to be improved now, at least on a surface level. But the bigger issue is the game just doesn’t hook you like the others did. There’s no real sense of urgency or emotional investment. The characters vary, and a lot of the writing lacks depth or weight. The new missions for romances is great though.

Combat is more mobile, it's fine, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of compelling narrative or world-building. The exploration feels empty with large areas and nothing interesting in them. Visually, the planets are decent, but nothing stands out.

Overall, it's like a spin-off trying to capitalize on nostalgia, but it doesn’t do it. Even after whatever updates they did, it's an average experience that isn't really satisfying. If you’re coming from the original trilogy, this one is going to disappoint. Only worth trying if you’re desperate for more Mass Effect,...

A short, surreal ride that leans more into the weird than the scary. The tension is light, but the atmosphere is eerie enough to keep you curious. Set entirely on a bullet train, it’s less horror and more bizarre mystery — but still worth checking out if you enjoy the offbeat side of their work.

A slow-burn horror game with an interesting mystery to unravel. While it doesn’t build much tension, the eerie atmosphere and investigative gameplay are engaging enough to keep you invested. It leans more on storytelling than scares, with three different endings to uncover. The game even directly references TOMINO’S HELL, a cursed Japanese poem said to bring misfortune to those who read it aloud, adding a chilling layer of real-world lore to the experience. A decent entry in Chilla’s Art’s lineup, especially if you enjoy slower-paced horror.

A tense and unsettling look into the dark side of internet fame. The game explores obsession and isolation, slowly building dread as the story unfolds. While the scares aren’t constant, the atmosphere keeps you on edge. Like other Chilla’s Art games, it’s short but delivers a memorable experience.

A decent entry from Chilla's Art, with a solid atmosphere and traditional Japanese horror themes. Based on the Onryō, a vengeful spirit from folklore, the game delivers some effective scares, but the lack of important information can make progression frustrating. Still, it’s worth a play for fans of his work.

A simple, slow-paced story with no real action. It focuses more on atmosphere and narrative than scares. The title itself, meaning “welcome home,” plays into the eerie feeling of returning to a place that no longer feels safe. Like other Chilla's Art games, it’s short and to the point, but definitely one of their more laid-back experiences.

Probably the most broken of all Chilla's Art games I’ve played. It’s hardly creepy and can get slightly annoying at times. While it has some interesting ideas, the execution is rough. The setting draws from Japanese urban legends about eerie encounters on lonely walks home, but the atmosphere doesn’t quite deliver.

Definitely one of Chilla's Art’s scarier games. It slowly builds tension throughout, and by the end, it’s almost unbearable — in a good way. The game plays on real-life reports of night security guards encountering eerie, unexplained phenomena in Japan. Short, intense, and absolutely worth every second if you’re looking for a genuine scare.

A tense and atmospheric survival horror game that really nails the feeling of being hunted. It does an amazing job capturing the look and feel of the original film, with fantastic sound design and environments that keep you on edge. The Xenomorph is unpredictable and relentless, making every encounter a real challenge.

While the game can feel a bit long and sometimes frustrating due to its difficulty, the tension and immersion make up for it. If you enjoy slow-burn horror with a constant sense of dread, this is definitely worth playing.

A simple search-and-find game where you slowly uncover the mystery and learn about your character’s past. The story touches on the unsettling reality of missing persons cases in Japan, where disappearances are sometimes linked to urban legends or societal pressures. Not heavy on scares, but the atmosphere and story make it worth a play.
