Hong Kong 97

Section titled 'Hong Kong 97'

2019

This shit can barely be classified as a game, but I still kinda like it because of its plot and vibes. Also this is the only game where I literally die instantly.

Fuck. This game is incredible. It's the video game equivalent of Gunbuster β€” a miracle that somehow makes me feel genuinely happy. Everything here is perfect: the music is amazing, the story is touching, the jokes are lame but good enough for me, the visuals are simple but very pleasant. I still sucked balls at completing it though.

Treasure Seekers: The Time Has Come

Section titled 'Treasure Seekers: The Time Has Come'

2018

(Also known as Π›Π΅Π³Π΅Π½Π΄Ρ‹ 4. ВрСмя ΠΏΡ€ΠΈΡˆΠ»ΠΎ.)

Discovered its existence while replaying the hidden object games from my childhood. Not sure why I didn't play it back then because the game is just as lovely as the rest, and the 2012 end of the world plot is hilarious.

It's a pretty simple and not entirely polished platformer, but it has such a beautiful atmosphere, and I did genuinely have fun playing it.

Everlasting Summer

I don't even know why I decided to play a visual novel. In any case, it was kinda okay. Also playing one of the mods put me in a depressive period, and I'm still not sure why.

I have nothing to say about this game except that the vibe is pretty damn cool. I haven't completed it, unfortunately, but I think I did manage to almost finish it.

Super Mario Bros.

Yes, it did take me so long to get my hands on completing it. Other than that, this game is a legend and needs no explanation.

2016

This game is a very good example of how you can be entertained by an extremely simple concept. Putting you in a random spot on the map and forcing you to find yourself on the map is so stupid and genius at the same time, it's unusual that the game only came out in 2013. The game itself is pretty fun to play. It also works regardless of whether you're playing alone or in a team. The only downside I can find in this game is that it's pretty expensive, but that's completely understandable β€” they have to pay their bills somehow.

Syobon no Action

Section titled 'Syobon no Action'

2015

(Also known as Cat Mario or Memes Mario.)

I actually liked it, believe it or not. The impossible difficulty is not that bad, considering you have checkpoints, infinite tries, an undocumented cheat code to skip to a certain level, and that the game itself is pretty short. It still took me way too long to fully complete it, but who's to judge me? I also like how the game looks and sounds. Nothing screams "late 2000s parody game" as loud as this.

Sonic Dash

Section titled 'Sonic Dash'

2015

Well, it's a fucking endless runner game. But hey, at least it has Sonic in it, which is supposed to be cool, right? Other than the presence of the aforementioned character, it's basically Subway Surfers but maybe a bit better. The only reason I'm writing this review is because it technically means I have played a Sonic game. Have I actually completed it? Can it even be completed? Hell if I know.

I think played it exclusively to see some European cities, and I guess I succeeded.

Pretty cool continuation of the series, but some magic was lost for me when I played it. Maybe it's because I got older.

2014

(Also known as Portal Mario.)

As you can tell by the lack of either Super Mario Bros. or Portal review before this one, yes, I played it before the real deal too. Can't say much about it except that it's a decent clone and the additional features are actually kinda cool. I think there was going to be a multiplayer version at some point, but it never materialized? Either way, I really wanted to see more of it at the time.

Outlast (including the Whistleblower DLC)

Section titled 'Outlast (including the Whistleblower DLC)'

2014

This is the first and the last horror game I've ever played. I was shitting my pants the first time I was playing it, but I adapted after some time. In addition to that, the game has a lot of disgusting crap, but it absolutely didn't bother me. It was kinda interesting for me to complete it, and I enjoyed it long after I did it by messing up with internal game mechanics and discovering various things that were intended to be seen only by the developers.

I actually played it before Minecraft. The game can be potentially entertaining, but it's a shitty sandbox. Minecraft is miles ahead both in terms of gameplay and, especially, aesthetics.

Does this even count as a video game? Anyway, there are not enough weapons and having no TrueColor support kinda sucks. Could be better.

A bunch of mobile games

Section titled 'A bunch of mobile games'

I'm not sure you can technically call them 100% "mobile" in this case since I played half of them on my Windows 8 PC and the other half on my Android tablet, but let's not get into that.
