Undertale
This was one of my first indie games, and it absolutely hooked me in. Even if you go into it having watched a playthrough of the game (although I would highly recommend going into it blind), it has a lot to offer. There is so much to uncover on your own, the music does a fantastic job of immersing you into the experience, and the random events that can occur will make every playthrough entirely unique to the player. I will probably never play one half of the game
! (specifically the genocide route, both because I don’t have the skill level and I can’t kill the characters I love), but I still return to it from time to time because of how much I love the characters and the world. The writing and the gameplay never clash, both play off of each other and have the same core values. It never feels like a part of the game is removed, it is one cohesive masterpiece and everyone should experience it for themselves at least once.

Undertale, like most games, is unfortunately not for everyone. Though if Undertale clicks with you, it really clicks. Personally, I find myself unable to stop thinking about this game for the rest of the day if it’s even mentioned to me offhandedly.
Undertale is a deconstruction of the RPG genre that does not sacrifice gameplay in the process. Instead of selecting attacks from a menu à la Final Fantasy, you’ll often find yourself treating every encounter like a small puzzle. It becomes a satisfying process to learn each enemy’s solution as you progress.

To the Moon
Reminiscent of online flash games before flash became outdated - great storytelling but clunky gameplay. The story is not logically perfect, but is sufficiently engaging. Gameplay - the same way you advance the dialogue (click anywhere on the screen), you can also cause the game to automatically select the top option in a gameplay decision. Fortunately,
! this doesn’t affect the outcome at all since this is pretty much a visual novel. Not crucial but also wish there was an option for sound balance - I found the audio way too loud.

starting off promising then quickly losing steam by the end of the story
- plot: had a strong premise. The story explored some interesting themes like mental illness, love, grief… However, I didn’t really feel anything at the end of the game although I was expecting a tear-jerker story (I’m also a very emotional guy). Was it because of meh dialogues at times even though this is a story-heavy game? Or the weird plot twist that threw me off a bit
! (joey)? Or the underdeveloped characters and relationships? I’m not sure but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Find Your Own Meaning of Life
Beautiful, nothing tops this game, absolutely nothing tops this game. There is something I must do, and will do for someone out there—a total stranger—searching for meaning in a meaningless existence, fighting for a future he/she wants. But before that, I still have a duty to finish—to write and utter words of esteem and love towards this marvel of a game. However, I must, without a doubt, do it.

Everhood
Play Everhood!! (and nominate the game for best soundtrack!)
–——-
How did this slip my radar?
How are none of my friends talking about this game?
Every year if I am lucky I come across a game so good I wish I could go back in time just to play it for the first time again - and that game always becomes by Game of The Year. That game for me this year is Everhood. And I knew that within 30 minutes of playing the game. I’m nominating the game for Best Soundtrack – cause the OST is amazing and I feel it has a better chance of winning a nomination in that category but it was hard not to vote it as GOTY just from my personal experience with the game.

Everhood is probably one of my favorite games I’ve played this year!! I’m nominating it for best soundtrack because oh my god. There is not one song in this game’s OST that I actively dislike.
The character design and writing is SO good and I found myself liking almost every single one I’ve encountered.
This game can be so weird and funny but at the same time I’ve cried just thinking about the ending!!!
It’s just… REALLY good, I can’t think of much else to say. Putting things into words is really hard for me, but I hope this got my feelings across well.

Life is Strange - Episode 1
I’ve been playing games for 30 years. I never thought a game would touch me. This came did it.
– Real player with 27.5 hrs in game
It has taken me years (and several restarts) to finally finish this game and I have no words to describe how much I love it. It was a beautiful story, wrapped up in heart-wrenching choices and gorgeous cinematography. Every episode is engaging and intense. I sobbed my through the final episode and I am very much looking forward to the other games in the series. This game will hold a special place in my heart and I love my best friend for making me buy it 3

Life is Strange: Before the Storm
DISCLAIMER
The review you are about to read is based on my own experience with the game and my own personal judgment and rating system! No third party has impacted anything said in this review. This review is also 100% spoiler free, so you don’t need to worry about that either.
Gameplay and Movement Controls (17 out of 20)
Everyone pretty sure expected the classic gameplay from the first game. ‘Before the Storm’ is based on the Unity Engine. Deck Nine had to re-do the gameplay aspect for this game. I must admit that I was very used gameplay feeling from the start, not that it’s that much different but still it is. Overal mouse control is pretty weird I have to admit. It feels like the mouse is working flawlessly sometimes and sometimes it just doesn’t register the movement right away. Which is later followed by half a second delay to anything you do with your mouse in terms of camera movement. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the engine itself or the developer set it that way on purpose, but since almost all games that are based on the Unity engine have had the same input delay issue of some sort for me in the past, I doubt it. It is not a game-breaking thing, but sometimes it can just be frustrating while moving the camera around.

Before the Storm is the prequel to the award-winning and highly claimed Life is Strange , one of the best Point & Clicks ever made. Is this complementary release as fulfilling and ground-breaker as the original? For fans, absolutely!
I find it hard to believe someone would be picking up Life is Strange: Before the Storm without first going through the original game. With that said, Before the Storm pretty much follows the steps of Chloe’s friendship with Rachel and their mischievous adventures.

OneShot
OneShot is a game I first heard about in January of 2021, a very long time after its release and I finally got around to picking the game up on 22 November and, since then, I’ve already poured 30 hours into the game. Simply put, it is a fantastic game that I recommend to everyone, even those who are not fans of puzzle games - I’m not one and I still enjoyed the game greatly and it is one of my favorites of all time, if not my favorite.
I love just how unique the game is compared to other games I’ve played. For one, it stars a lovable protagonist and you can’t really go wrong with that. But, not only that, the game is well-written in its story and it makes you feel a connection to the protagonist (whom is named Niko) and the world around them. It is the only game I have ever played to make me feel an emotional attachment to the world and character. The game is very intricate in the details it provides and there aren’t any major plot holes, which helps make the experience more enjoyable, plus it is just a fun game overall.

This game… Oh my god, this game. It was one of the best games I have ever played in my life. No other game has ever made me question my choices, even Undertale. I do not get attached to things or characters in games, but this one does that intentionally by making you someone that Niko (the protagonist) contacts directly.
! Another way it drags you into the world is by placing files or documents on your computer that help you solve puzzles; I have had no other game do that before.
