It took me a while before I finally decided to play FAR: Lone Sails but how happy I am I did.
This game is one of those rare games that is difficult to describe why it is so good.
The graphics are amazing, the sound and atmosphere are incredible.
Far does a great job of using its lonely world and lack of people to gradually expose its lore through the scenery. Whether it’s beached and rusted tankers, vacant villages, or ruined industrial areas, the scenic surroundings really make it feel like you are progressing through different regions.
The main gameplay revolves around that singular, laser-like focus. You pick up random objects outside your ship and feed it to the generator to provide your vehicle with energy, releasing steam from time to time to prevent it from overheating. Sometimes, things break down as they inevitably will, and you have to put out fires and make repairs using what few tools you have. As you go along, you stop by abandoned warehouses, homes, and docks where you can pimp your ride with sails, better wheels, and other add-ons, but they all come as part of the game as you move through the 2D side-scroller.
That’s not to say that the game becomes repetitive. Quite the opposite, it propels you to make sure your ship is a-okay, and when she is, you can reward yourself by zooming out and enjoying the view, no matter how desolate it may seem. There is something therapeutic about tending to your ship and then just moving along slowly through the day.

If I had to review this on release, it would be a very bad review. But after some patches the developers really listened to the players and made some incredible changes' en it is almost a different game. Baldo after the patches is a real charming, beautiful, challenging game with fun characters, good world building, fun story, and incredible sound. For every fan of adventure games, certainly a recommendation.

Circle of the moon was my first Castlevania experience and one of my favorite games on the GBA. It was this game that hooked me on Castlevania and since then I played every Castlevania game on a Nintendo platform. The fact you get some of the best Castlevania games ever should be enough to buy this collection, but beside that you also get a lot of extra accessibility like saving the game when ever you want.

This game is just so fun. don't get me wrong, it has some performance issues, but nothing game breaking. This is something I dreamed about when I was a child. The deviation from the normal formula is just so refreshing. It is more a RPG with quests and missions. One of the first Pokémon games I really enjoy in a long time.

After legends, I was really looking forward to this game. Unfortunately, it does not deliver. don't get me wrong, as a gamer who is playing Pokémon since red (yes that old) I still like the Pokémon formula and that is done fine in this game. The performance is a slap in the face of every Pokémon fan. It is really fun to run around in an open world with wild Pokémon (my childhood dream) and do pretty much what you want, but sometimes the performance is so bad that it is almost unplayable. If they fix performance this is a highly recommendable game but until then not really.

I love this game. It is an excellent shooter with great locations, good visuals, good sound and fantastic gameplay. It has a slight learning curve before you will enjoy it but stick with it, and you will find that this is an incredible game. It is definitely not a soul like. The story is obscure like dark souls, but that's it. Overall a really enjoyable shooter with high replayability, a lot of different guns and gear, secrets to find and a lot of random boss fights.

Where to begin. This is one of those games that went under the radar for me. Vampyr looks fantastic, and especially the atmosphere is incredible. It has a good story that keeps you interested, and it is played out with good cutscenes and well written dialogue / characters. Gameplay is fun, and you can play in some different ways, and there are some really fun abilities. The formula where the better you know someone and the more you care about them will increase the XP you gain when you decide to feed on them is incredible, and you are forces to sometimes make difficult decisions. If you like the fantasy of playing a vampire, look no further.

As a longtime fan of the franchise (from the first game) I was looking forward to this game. Let me point out that this game is beautiful, good sound, packed with contend and a superb game. But unfortunately for me, it did not capture me as the old games did. I put in over 100 hours in every one of the old games (not world). I don't know what it is that doesn't capture me about rise but definitely a great game for newcomers.

This is probably one of my most played games on Switch. I just love this kind of game. (the fact that I love Mythology probably has something to do with it) Good gameplay with an interesting story and setting. The world you explore is beautiful en you will visit many different locations, which I love. You can build so many different classes, so it has a high replayability. A lot of different spells and tons and tons of loot.

WOW, this game is incredible. The visuals, sound, dialogue, gameplay, ..... everything about this game is top-notch. The only thing I hate about playing HADES is that now I'm addicted to rogue like games, and none others are as incredible as HADES.

This is one of those games that pulls you in and doesn't let go until you finished it. Its writing is top-notch. You really care for the characters. It looks beautiful, and the sound quality is great. The only problem are the occasional stutters and frame drops. Overall it did not affect my experience . This is a must-play if you like exploring, good writing, mystery and an overall intriguing storyline.
