Great little metroidbrania

like video games if they were good

platforming is a little loosey goosey but once you adjust to it its fine

Cool little gungeon-lite with cool weapons, interesting enemies and fun bosses, which is exactly what you want in a game like this.

Pretty good game with some creative puzzles. It knows how to properly tutorialize new mechanics and knows when to take tools away from you for interesting puzzles. A little on the short side and the story got kinda annoying but the game lets you pretty safely ignore it. Overall worth the buy but don't be surprised to spend less than 4 hrs playing this game.

among my all time favorite games

This game is a good idea executed really well.

If you have any interest in a rhythm based beat em up you will not be disappointed

The writing is very hit or miss, the hits are great and charming but the misses are quite cringe worthy

very good rhythm game with a large selection of custom tracks from the community

focuses way more on tone compared to the rhythm focus most other music games have.

A city builder that you can get a lot of mileage out of.

Instead of a single city you stick with for a long time, you spend a few hours on each city and the resources and blueprints you have access to change how you play. Along with the goals.

Kind of feels a little like the deck building of a game like Slay the Spire where you have to draft buildings that are capable of producing certain kinds of goods along with drafting the objectives you need to take care of.

cool game that gives you an interesting perspective by letting you play as the bad guys

Good literary style game that plays around with fonts and typology. Very historically focused on the period and the context of it, so much so that theres a bibliography in the credits.

Ive seen comparisons made to Disco Elysium. I can see how oblivion took a lot of inspiration from that game, but that game is kind of on another level. If you come in expecting what you got out of Disco Elysium you will almost certainly be disappointing. However if you want a piece of interactive historical fiction with decent characters and even better mysteries, this is the game for you.

Definitely one of my favorite games i played in 2022. its a good combination of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Hunt Showdown with a good measure of old school immersive sims thrown in. Exactly the kind of game i am looking for.

Very tense and interesting world design that is a joy the explore. Looking forward for act 3 coming out
