I don't post, I only like.
#329 Blue Prince - incredibly creative game. First time in quite a while I've had to take notes while playing a game. Getting into room 46 the first time was euphoric. 9.5/10! The challenges for the platinum were miserable tho. Did not enjoy curse, dare, or 1 day modes.

#328 - Dispatch- I've never really gotten into the telltale games, they just never really clicked for me. But Dispatch fucking rules! I really loved the writing, the acting, the story. But I think what kept me hooked was the hero management stuff, that was super up my alley. Surprise banger, 9.25/10

#326 - Coffee Talk - Banger game with an easy platinum. Can't believe I'm only just getting to this game, it's great. As much as a good long twisty visual novel can ne, a short slice of life VN is a breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be grabbing the sequel and the Tokyo one when it's out 8.5/10

#324 - Knack - Some good ideas but an overall average game. Knack feels too squishy and weak for a lot of the game, and too slow when he's not. and the art style for humans and goblins is "clash of clans" - esque (deragatory). It's also way too long, and there's too much RNG for upgrades. 6/10

#323 Super Robot Wars T - I had to make a Singaporean PS account to buy and download this lol.

SRW is an SRPG series where you fight with mechs from different anime. I didn't like this one as much as X or V, but it was fine. Second playthrough was a slog though.

7/10

#322 - Call of duty modern warfare remastered - Cod4 and MW2 are the only call of duty games I ever really got into, so it feels good to get this one. But hot damn is this game blatant military propaganda lmfao. I remember being told the military funds Cod dev and going "no way" I can see it now lol

#321 - Luck be a landlord - very fun and very addicting slot machine roguelike where you can turn your landlord into soup 8/10

#320 Garfield Lasagna Party - needed a quicker platinum after ghost of yotei lol. Mini-games were actually pretty good design-wise, but the board game part needs work. And no voice acting, even efforts, made it feel eerily quiet. We need more Mario party competitors though!

#319 Ghost of Yotei - I think it's a solid game, and it gives you a lot of freedom in the beginning which is great! Wish you unlocked ghost stance earlier, and wish the platforming was a little quicker.

Been a fan of @erikaishii.bsky.social for a while, and she killed it! Great casting for sure.

#318 Ball x Pit - super fun indie game that took me by surprise. They really came up with a satisfying variety when it comes to playing with your balls, I really enioyed it. 9/10 definitely pick it up if you wanna lose hours to a new roguelike

#317 Slime Rancher 2 - really really love the first game, and the second delivered on my expectations. I think I like them both about the same but for different reasons. 8.5/10
October 23, 2025 at 6:42 PM
#315 - XCOM Enemy Unknown - I love this series so much! Tactical Sci-fi RPG with base management are so many of my favorite buzzwords lol. Easily my favorite Strategy RPG series, above FF tactics and Fire Emblem. I'm gonna try to complete all 5 games (this is my 3rd)

9.25/10 (it's buggy)

#314 Dishonored - I had a grudge against this game for about 12 years because I failed the no kill trophy despite not killing anyone. Went back and finished the platinum in 2 days lol.

Really great game honestly, I should finally play the second one. 8.5/10

#313 InFamous. I'm a pretty big fan of sucker punch between sly Cooper, infamous, and ghost of tsushima, but InFamous 1 fucking sucks. It has the brown and Grey aesthetic of the ps3 era, the mission design is more frustrating than fun, and unmarked collectibles suck ass. 6/10

#312 Bluey (again) - it was not better or worse the second time I played through it.
August 3, 2025 at 5:54 PM
Ratchet and Clank Size Matters - the worst of the good ratchet and clank games. You can tell it's missing the sauce that the insomniac devs have, but it's honestly a pretty good effort from a small studio. And you can tell it was made by fans of the franchise. 7.5-8/10

#310 South Park the fractured but whole - This was definitely a downgrade from the first game in a lot of ways. I didn't find the abilities as interesting as the first game, and the 5 second cutscene for all puzzle abilities got really annoying by the end. 7/10
August 3, 2025 at 5:50 PM
#309 Bluey The videogame - I've never watched an episode of Bluey, but this is free on ps+ and a 2 hour platinum dontjudgeme.

I do genuinely think it's a functional game, and a good recommendation for kids.

I forgot to post games for a bit,

#308 Death Stranding - I'm glad I finally played through this, it was a lot of fun with a surprisingly fun gameplay loop. You can definitely see how Kojima went from MGSV to this, with how many menus and text everywhere there is
August 3, 2025 at 5:45 PM
#307 Yakuza 0! This game got me into the series, and playing it again after playing them all is such a treat. It holds up incredibly well minus the saving, so I'm stoked to get into the definitive edition now.
June 15, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection #306 - The gameplay loop holds up surprisingly well. The campaign for the second game was ambitious, but kinda sucked. Overall both games are still a lot of fun. 8/10
June 12, 2025 at 7:52 PM
Finished up Monster Train last night, now I can play the sequel without guilt lol.

Monster train is an exceedingly good deck building roguelike. I would put it maybe second place to Slay the Spire. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking to jump right into something easy to pick up

8.75/10

PlayStation Platinum #302 Oblivion Remastered: The remaster is good, but Oblivion has some very aged gameplay loops. I wish 95% of missions didn't just send you to an identical small cave, or annoying ruins.

Chameleon continues to be a super fun way to break the game tho

7.5/10 experience
