Out of the (admittedly few) souls-like games which I've played, I like Sekiro the most.

Some say Sekiro is one of the hardest souls-likes compared to Elden Ring or even Dark Souls, but personally I find it easier to certain degree. I enjoy the rhythmic dance of deflecting and parrying more than the rolling / dodging of other souls-titles.

♥♥♥♥ the Chained Ogre though.

All in all a solid game. It is not necessary to play Thief Simulator 1 before this one.

Playing the story slowly introduces new mechanics, challenges, tools, and upgrades at a reasonable pace. At first you only have the crowbar for breaking windows, but soon you get lockpicks, glass cutters, safe cracking tools, and so on.

In Thief Simulator 2 there are only two neighbourhoods while in TS1 I recall there being 3 or 4. However there are a number of heists that offer more buildings and content.

Achievements: simple although a tad tedious. 100% in ~35 hours.

Unironically a great game. The art style is beautiful and bright, the OST is full of bangers, and there's the hentai. I really hope for a sequel or DLC.

Towards the end of the game the boss fights become kind of easy due to the damage increase from "leveling up". Personally I beat the final boss on the first try while some of the first bosses took quite a number of tries. Not that it matters too much though.

Achievements: Very easy; follow the story, and then finish the collections.

The concept is interesting, and the game is fairly enjoyable with friends.

However, there is not a lot of content. I think the game works if you like to make up different narratives to film. The game provides tools such as microphones, movie clappers, and a bunch of emotes which you can use to make your own News Report or movie or whatever - which can be great fun for a bit.

Another issue my friends and I had was that extracting the video from the camera did not work. We found articles on how to find the videos on the host's computer, and we did, but it's all very inconvenient; there literally is a television in the living room, meant to be used to watch the videos.

All in all, pretty fun for a few hours if you can get it for a few bucks. Otherwise, don't necessarily bother.

The game is pretty fun with friends, but it is very clearly unfinished.

My main problem with the game is the fact that infected players cannot be revived once they die.
With how easy it is to die and the matches being easily at least 60 minutes, nobody likes to sit watching as the rest of the team drives around for 40 minutes.

I think its worth a try however, although honestly maybe not for the full price.

Absolute banger of a game

Wonderful, beautiful, and humorous game about 7 individuals (I guess technically 8) with questionable pasts and personalities.

Comedy is ever-present both in dialogue (well, mostly monologue) and the environment, with little details here and there, and I find that the best thing about the game. The puzzles are pretty good too, all of them being logical. It may take a while, but nothing's impossible to figure out without Google.

100%-able in like 16 hours. Some of the achievements are sort of hidden.

Turns out, I'm very bad at math.

An absolutely amazing game. The freedom of choice and map design are superb. What other game lets you place a rake directly in front of an NPC to make them knock themselves out?

There's a lot that can be said about the questionable monetization strategies, but as a first-time Hitman player none of that mattered to me, and buying the normal World of Assassination bundle was the right choice for me. After playing through the game, I also purchased a DLC containing two extra missions for Hitman 2 for about 10€.

Achievements are very easy but quite a grind, and the game took me around 140 hours to 100% Steam achievements. However, I am not even close to being done with all the in-game challenges, and it could easily take 3-4x the time to be done with them all.

One of the best idle games, certainly in my top 2.

The game offers deep and complex mechanics (slowly, one by one, mind you). Multiple classes and pets with varying mechanics allow for a plethora of playstyles to choose from. Still, at certain points in the game, some classes are more optimal than others. For the better or worse, this means frequent visits to the wiki and character guides. The Discord server is also a great place for help, resources, and info - simply lurking will be beneficial.

Achievement-wise, do not expect any quick hundos. It is going to take a year or two. However, they are all unlocked by just advancing in the game, so nothing impossible, just time-consuming - nothing unusual for idle games.
