A Little to the Left was very cute but a bit simple for my taste. some of the puzzles also did not make sense to me and i was frustrated that i had to look online for solutions. im also upset that some of the achievements are either tedious or time consuming to get :/
to my fellow achievement hunters, i do not recommend getting this game

to specify on what achievements are making me upset, it is the "Special Day,5,10,15", Sqweeky Clean,Two Weeks Sweep, Calendar Collector(there is literally no way that im going to be able to remember to do it for 30 days straight, let alone a week or two.), all of the daily tidy achievements(you have to do it 100 days to get all of them and this makes me. very upset)

ive beat the game twice in under 8 hours. it does not feel like a lot of content and is made even more apparent by the fact that the daily tidies are just randomized rolls of the games levels

this heavily feels like it could've been a 3-5 mobile device game.
really wishing there were a meh recommendation button because while i def did enjoy this game, its def not for everyone and it coulda been handled better

edit 3/27/23: i am heavily bored by the dailies and i always have a bit of dread that im going to end up getting the snowflake one. it is by far my least favorite and takes a good bit of time and the noise. GOD the noise aggravates me to no end. i've had to turn the sounds off for the game entirely because i hate it so much.

edit 5/1/23: i am changing my review. the game itself is good, there are just some parts that make it very aggravating. i am almost done with the 100 days one and im really glad im almost done.

if you want to do any sort of creative thing in a VR environment for free and without hassle, ABSOLUTELY pick up this game.

Open Brush is seriously amazing. It feels intuitive and super easy to pick up. the fact it is free is absolutely baffling to me, huge props to the devs. join the discord if you are interested in staying updated! i've yet to try out the new update but from the video i watched, it looks super promising!

Wytchwood is a very charming collection and crafting game. Very well done but pretty short and I personally didn't find myself having a lot of trouble crafting things as I'm the type of person to pick up as many items as I can while walking by :P

The first set of quests you do were the most satisfying for me but it did not take me very long to do the other 2 sets of quests and I was left feeling a little unsatisfied with the ending. I would've loved more looks into the world and the character you play as and the ending was very predictable IMO

Either way tho, I enjoyed the 9.4 hours I put into the game and I'd def recommend grabbing this game, especially if its on sale

I am so SO attached to OMORI. it is a very cute and sweet game. it hit me harder than i thought it would and i still haven't picked it back up from my first play through because the emotional impact is still very significant. i highly recommend this game to anyone even remotely thinking about playing as the story, music and visuals are all beautifully done. be prepared for some tears though :)

Hades is an absolutely wonderful game with great mechanics and wonderful characters that I have come to love dearly. Lots of achievements and a rich story to unfold and lots of character interactions to uncover :) Even at 45 hours of gameplay, I haven't completed everything in the game yet and the trial of punishment adds many many more hours of game play. If you like Rougelites at all, you will absolutely love Hades.

This game is a very short and sweet point and click game about a young woman trying to fall asleep but the theater inside of her head keeps her up. It took me a little under 40 minutes to complete the game and get all the achievements. The art style is beautiful and all blends very well together. Overall, a worthwhile game :)

Boyfriend Dungeon is a very cute game with super cute characters. Loved the representation in the game and the soundtrack is wonderful

If you are looking for a good no brain, enjoy the characters n vibe type game, this is a good game :) but when compared to the other Rougelite games I've played, this feels a bit lacking. If you're looking for something like Hades, I don't think this is quite what you're looking for
Def didn't stop me from playing it for 13.7 hours in one sitting tho :) get it if it catches your eye

However. It was a little lacking in the game play. It was definitely repetitive and I wish there was more I had to do in the game, seeing as there is only one mini game and I was able to beat all 3 levels nearly all on the first try.
I also believe I was progressing through the story in a weird order, seeing as it felt that I was getting stalked mostly towards the end of me playing. Killed any of the suspense I would've had, tho the stalker character was super obvious to me and I feel it could've been done in a more subtle way

Things that would have made the experience better:
-More abilities to chose from for the weapons per level
-More dates or multiple different routes to play
-More variety for the dungeons, as the maps felt very empty and repetitive
-More time to get to know the characters/more dates
-More animated scenes. The weapon transformations are all so nicely done and the rest of game would have benefited greatly

for those wondering, it was fairly easy to get all of the achievements :p

The devs don't listen to their community and only now are getting around to adding crutial things after YEARS of the community asking for it. If you are looking for a company that actually cares about its community, I'd check out any other social VR platform because the VRChat devs don't seem to care one bit

Starbound is a high quality game with a lively community and a highly creative modding base. The large quantity of things you can add to this game make it one of my favorite games in my steam library.
