I was actually mildly stressed out writing this lol. I felt that there's just so much I wanted to say in the moments of playing the game that...words just fail me. But here goes.

Act 1.
I mean, having played The Witness, I have to try this game right? It's very clearly inspired by it, even though the puzzle mechanics are a little different. I'll say this first; it's a good game that's well worth the money. It's clearly a product built with lots of care and love from the developer.
This game is really is made for doomscrollers and tea sippers lol.
I was looking back at my "Case Of The Golden Idol" review and I was astounded that it was written in 2023! Anyway, the developers apparently decided to release a new game (not a DLC!) due to popular demand and I immediately bought it to give it a shot. Spoilers ahead!
These are plans for the character Faylar. Basically a swordy-bard. Inspired this this reddit post
Get Guild Artisan background for Insight
After playing the Secret of Monkey Island, I realised that I still have no clue what the secret of that damn island!
A decade ago, when I was just a student in university, I bought this game and - not going to lie - I was super inspired back then by it because I honestly have never seen a game that's fun yet feels like another of my CS assignments.
This game has been making rounds in the VTuber space for awhile and I thought it looked really interesting. It brought my attention to the developer Mike Klubnika who has been making this kind of atmospheric games for awhile.
I realized that I haven't written about Little Nightmares after playing it on stream some time ago, so here we go. I think it slipped my mind because it's kind of difficult to describe a game like this to me. Perhaps it is because of the aesthetic direction the game took.
After many recommendations, I finally picked up and completed Ghost Trick. To be honest, I have nothing but praises for this game. 11/10 must play.
Citizen Sleeper was a very strange game to play to me and it was even stranger to think about how it came to be highly rated. I suspect that it shows that something surreal is happening to how people view games.
I remember looking at the trailer for Viewfinder and was immediately intrigued. It's the kind of game where I'm not only interested in its mechanics' technology but also curious about the kind of levels they are going to make.
I first played this game during its early access when it was first released. There's a lot of the game that I liked and didn't like but I figured that I figured that I'll put my opinions on hold until its release.
Now that it's released, I played it till the end and apparently my opinions about it didn't change much.
This post is just going to be some ramblings I have after completing Persona 4 Golden in 2023. Let's get the easy stuff out of the way first. The game has amazing music, UI, art style and theme. The team has always been excellent in these aspects and are often brought up in case studies in my classes. With that out of the way, here are my thoughts on my playthrough.
Alright, the game is out on itch.io for free. This is the 2nd game I have made using a rewrite of the engine I used in dots and circles.
After playing "Return To Obra Dinn", a few people have asked me to look into "Case of the Golden Idol". It was also recommended by Lucas Pope, developer of Return To Obra Dinn. While waiting for my VISA in Singapore, I managed to allocate some time to play it on stream.
I had this game for awhile now in my Steam library, but like all games on it, I never took managed to allocate time for it until a friend speaks about it.
I finally took the time to complete Cyberpunk 2077 today. It's been a while since I played an open world western RPG. I believe the last one I played was Skyrim when it first released in 2011. ...man, that was really a long time ago.
I played Fallout 2 in 2022 and here are my thoughts.
Like Fallout 1, I have also played Fallout 2 as a kid. Just like Fallout 1, it's so refreshing to play it in 2022.
I played Fallout 1 in 2022 and here are my thoughts.
Now, let me give a disclaimer and say that I have played Fallout 1 as a kid when the game is still in a CD. I remember positive emotions playing the game but all I remembered as an adult before playing it again was that you are the Vault Dweller from Vault 13 and you need to find a water chip within some kind of a time limit.
I just played this game called 'Stray' over the week just to check out what all the hype was about. Before I go on, I would like to say that it's a pretty decent game. I can see why there are people who loved and hate it. Here I'm just going to pen down thoughts I find about the game.
Sorry about the word vomit in advance, and of course, spoilers from here on!
Alright, the game is out on itch.io for free! Now that some time has passed and a handful of people have played the game, I felt that there is no better time then to jot down my experiences developing this small arcade game, lest I forget (again).
