Story:
It all began in the days of bicentenary war, when the Order of Crusaders led the campaign against the elder nations. The Order was victorious; it took no prisoners, exterminating one race after another. Dead bodies filled the streets of ravaged cities. And amidst this putrid stench the darkest evil came to our world…
A terrible curse caused people to go insane and rot alive, slowly turning into atrocious monsters. Cities hit by this epidemic turned into giant hives of the ones led by the will of the pack. Soon all the elder kingdoms were swallowed by the Plague.
The king ordered the Master of the Order to stop the campaign and to build fortresses against the infection, and 300 years since they are defending the northern land from the swarm of plague.
Sometimes infected crusaders kept themselves sane. Those who suffered such fate were setting off their last crusade. Struck with the disease, they became plague hunters and were heading to the very heart of the infected land just to fall in battle and take as many insane monsters as they could with…

I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator
This game, in a mere 100 hours, has taken everything from me…
I have sacrificed everything I know and love, just to look at that colonel smile.
My wife left me with full custody of the kids. My parents no longer talk to me. Im a mere month away from being
Evicted by my landlord. Ive stopped working, just to play this game. This game has ruined my life, but still, I love it. That sweet sweet colonel. The story is Immersive, and a roller coaster of emotions to play through. Ever since helen left me, this has been the one thing that I still find love in. This game shields me from the cold that is this planet. More importantly, the colonel protects me from the world. The sweet colonel. I never needed helen. All I need is right here, flexing his big muscles, making his next exquisite dish, and being the man I always craved.

With stage 5 terminal cancer, the doctors told me it couldn’t be cured. I seen this game come up on my recommended list. I thought to myself “With only hours left to live, I might as well spend my time doing something I enjoy” Starting the game I was filled with immediate joy. The characters were absolutely lovable. The story line has the depth that can only be rivalled by very few AAA titles out there. Every click left me guessing “What’s going to happen next?” and “Will I get to try another one of the Colonels chicken wings of pure ecstasy?” Before I knew it, I was in the kitchen, cooking with the Colonel, helping him create Nan’s potato and gravy. It was absolute bliss!

Ori and the Will of the Wisps
If you enjoyed Ori 1, do not think further, buy Ori 2, it is the same but better. A tribute to traditional Metroidvania games but also Rayman 1, Hollow Knight, Guacamelee, all of these - Ori is simple (a bit too easy), smooth, efficient, BEAUTIFUL, very pleasant in terms of gameplay, with pretty but shallow music, BEAUTIFUL, lots of collectibles, BEAUTIFUL, also BEAUTIFUL… So yeah, that game is beautiful, Imagine Everdell the board game but animated in 2.5D. Simply magnificent drawings. It is much more narrated/story (action-story) driven than the 1 - a colorful, yet very sad story (my son cried). A village like in Hollow Knight to upgrade, some hard bosses and final levels reminiscent of Celeste, and sometimes vibrant visuals a bit like Yoku’s Island. In any case, if you enjoy well made Metroidvania action platformer, this game is a must buy, period.

Perfect sequel to already an amazing game. Every flaw present in Blind Forest has been either changed or repaired in Will of the Wisps. But let’s start from the beginning.
Ori is of course a metroidvania, and it perfectly represents the genre. All upgrades are nicely introduced and movement with them is very smooth. Combat has been greatly improved comparing to first game. Instead of running and spamming attack button, here you can actually choose different abilities, making fights much more dynamic and interesting. Music, graphic design and lore, just like in Blind Forest, are incredible.

Waking
If you already liked Continue?9876543210 or Skrillex Quest, then better odds of liking this.
If you like existentialism but find walking simulators insufficiently stimulating, Waking may be a good fit for you.
Waking is a strange game. It’s what I guess you’d call a modern 3D platformer like Dark Souls or God of War. And in most games like this, you are the main character, i.e. you are Adam Jensen, Kratos of Sparta, or Sonic the Hedgehog, or the descendant of Erdrick/Loto, or whomever, but in Waking the main character is…you, of [your hometown], descendant of [your parents], etc. Also there’s guided meditation, and no, there is nothing on the screen when she tells you to close your eyes, so just do it.

I played Waking for 25 hours and completed around 75% of the game.
Gameplay Overview
Waking is a gamified SELF-REFLECTION EXERCISE, that has 2 big parts: gameplay and meditation. Being the main character of the story, you will fight your way out of a coma by killing mobs and rebuilding memories. You will run, pick-up objects, aim, shoot, and continuously select different spells to fight.
As objectives are completed, a voice asks you to CLOSE YOUR EYES and invites you to travel deeply into YOUR PERSONAL MEMORIES. Waking is not a traditional action-adventure gaming experience. To experience the game as it is meant to be you need to be opened to a self-reflection experience.

Zoo World VR
Firstly I want to stress that in NO WAY have I spent 10 hours on this garbage. I must have either left it running or it’s just plain wrong. This is probably the most amateurish and clunky mess I have ever come across. The “controls” are just plain awful, no guide on how things work or what even the aim of the thing is. This is one hot mess. Whoever wrote the positive reviews must be shills for the developer. Only buy this if you want to see just how bad it actually is.

I really like this! I am a fan of VR walking simulators, and this provided a peaceful stroll through the woods. The animal models and animations are quite good too. It ran great on my Valve Index (and even includes finger tracking), and I have not yet encountered any bugs.
Here is some constructive criticism for future updates (but really these are nitpicks, this is a great first version in my mind!)
- The intro video should be on a fixed screen in 3D space. Having a video play at a fixed location in the VR viewport is nausea-inducing for many. But you are in good company: Elite Dangerous has this same problem.

Auri’s Tales
This beautiful game has a lot of potential and I love the direction it’s heading! You can see the obvious love for the developers daughter that went into its creation.
I recommend keeping an eye on its future development; it still has a ways to go.
Your objective is to collect coins and equipment to help statue friends solve puzzles for rewards and open each heartfelt letter to the daughter of the king and queen who await your entry inside the castle. A map of some kind would be very helpful to follow.

Muse Dash
This is a temporary WARNING review as the game is currently unplayable for many users. The last update introduced many bugs which make the game literary unplayable for many players and unpleasant to play for others. It came out on Friday and there was no fix nor any sort of communication from the devs since. The least they could do is to rollback to a previous version and at least apologize, but there is nothing.
The biggest issue being that you can’t play ANY levels, you just get stuck on purple screen with music in the background while no inputs register, you must force close the game to get out.

Great introduction to rhythm games, easy to start with but there’s a lot of challenge as well. Basically, just tap the keys to smash the enemies to the rhythm of the song.
At the base price, this game is a steal. If you like the basegame, get the DLC, you won’t be disappointed.
I definitely recommend unless the weeabooish graphics and music are totally not your thing. Personally I think the songs are mostly bangers and the girls are cute. And Rin is the best girl.
