I can't recommend Hello Neighbor because of two big issues:

Puzzles:
Puzzles are nearly impossible to solve without following a walkthrough. Most of them can't be solved by logic.

Glitches everywhere:
Very often, everything gets stuck inside the walls: The Neighbor, the items, even the main character.
The worst that could happen is when an item essential to beat the level disappears from your inventory out of the blue.
In Act 3, after I spent more than 4 hours racking my brain to solve puzzles, I was about to open a door using the red key (essential item to beat that level), and suddenly the key decided to vanish for my inventory. I tried to search for it everywhere in the map but in vain (I even checked the Lost and Found Box).
The only thing I could do was to restart the level, but I didn't want all my time to be wasted, so I temporarily enabled the Universal Key cheat on Cheat Engine, and finally unlocked that door.


In conclusion, Hello Neighbor isn't a horror game, it's a very frustrating parkour game that has very bad platforming and a lot of bugs.

- it's been a long while since I played Dead By Daylight
- waited half a day to install it
- played first match (as survivor): killer idling
- played another one: killer bot
- bought a new killer, Knight, using free currency (iridescent points)
- waited 20 minutes in queue for matchmaking
- new killer was very hard to play
- got bullied and then insulted in chat
- played the next matches using The Trapper (my favourite killer)
- won 2 (survivors were mindless)
- lose 1 (matched against seasoned players)
- realized that the game is unbalanced, and devs only care about money
- uninstalled it
- never more

One of the best story I've ever played since I've started to play video games.
The more you play it, the more you get hooked (I finished the game in just two days).
Game lenght isn't neither too long, nor too short. I beat the game in about 6 hours.
I really loved to hear every character's voice in the game. Voice actors did an astonishing job.

And one more thing (spoiler ahead!):
The plot looks like a mix up of Fight Club and Falling Down.

Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.

Hamster Playground review

Pros:

- Microtransactions only concern skins, dress, and home decorations
- Probably the best hamster game on Steam
- There aren't achievements behind a paywall

Cons:

- There is only one free background music (aside from minigame modes). The other ones are locked behind DLCs
- Only 1 of 5 minigame is free of charge (developers gave away some for free to early access players)
- Gameplay is lacking (there's not much to do)
- DLCs are overpriced
- Can be very repetitive after some hours
- Two achievements required to farm the level for 20+ hours

Recommendation:
You might love it if you've a liking for hamsters. Generally speaking, I don't recommend it.

Rank: 2 out of 5 [★★]

Animation Throwdown: The Quest of Cards review

Pros:

- A lot of characters from famous adult tv shows (Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, King of the Hill, Bob's Burger, Archer)
- Good variety of cards
- You can unlock all the achievements without spending money (a couple require grinding)

Cons:

- Some levels in Story Mode are nearly impossible to beat, unless you don't spend money (and get lucky) on card packs, otherwise you have to farm cards
- Unoriginal and terrible music; they could have use some of the soundtracks from these shows
- Season Pass and card packs are expensive
- Online multiplayer has pay-to-win players

Recommendation:
There are way better card battler games on Steam, and they can be often found on deep discount. I don't recommended it.

Rank: 2 out of 5 [★★]

The clunky commands make this game super hard to play.
The bosses have way too much health to be defeated without making your character die first.

I'm not a fan of Vtubers (actually, the only two I know are Korone and Gawr Gura), but I really enjoyed Holocure, and I'm very surprised of the quality of this fangame.

Here's what I like:
- Nearly 40 characters to choose from. Each character has her own unique skillset (Main attack + 3 Skills);
- I really liked to combine 2 weapons and turn them into a one more powerful weapon (this game mechanic is called "Collab");
- Pixel art is quite charming;
- There is a easy-to-learn fishing minigame (I'm a sucker for them). Very useful to gain extra money to level up your stats;
- In 80 hours of playtime I didn't encounter any bug, even the slightest;
- It's 100% free.

There is only one thing I didn't quite like it:
- There is an achievement that requires grinding for many and many hours. It took me more than 60 hours to get it.


I highly recommend you to try Holocure, especially if you like Vampire Survivors. And I think fans of Vtubers must play it.



While I was playing Holocure, it remembered me of another fangame I enjoyed a lot, and I recommend you to check it out (this one is also free):

I fed a baby with uranium and then I served him to the mighty Cthulhu.

Here's a gameplay of the hardest achievement of this game: https://youtu.be/WX2nBghLWS4

Hard but satisfying 2D platformer, with plenty of well-designed levels.
The soundtrack is a real banger.
I really enjoyed to achieve the max ranking in every level.
And I still can't believe this game is available for free.

Here's a full gameplay: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252572828

DORONKO WANKO isn't the only game Bandai Namco has released for free.
Go try them, they're amazing games as well.
