Score: 7/10

I spent around 6 hours with Call of the Sea, and overall, it's a solid puzzler that stands out for its atmosphere and narrative twists. The game initially lures you in with a bright, tropical color palette—almost deceivingly cheerful. But don’t be fooled: once Chapter 2 kicks in, the tone shifts dramatically, and you start to realize what the game is really about. That tonal change is one of its most intriguing strengths.

The puzzles are well-designed for the most part—I'd say I enjoyed about 80–90% of them. That said, there’s one puzzle involving constellations that tested my patience more than my brainpower. It drags on longer than it needs to, with a tedious trial-and-error mechanic that kills the pacing. Instead of feeling clever for solving it, I felt relieved it was over. It’s the kind of puzzle that makes you second-guess whether you’re missing something obvious, or just stuck in design limbo. Thankfully, it's a rare misstep in an otherwise enjoyable lineup.

The storytelling unfolds gradually, and the deeper themes are surprisingly emotional by the end. What truly stuck with me were the chapter endings. Each one feels grand and theatrical, often paired with music that perfectly fits the moment. They leave a lasting impression and give the game a unique rhythm that keeps you moving forward.

That said, Call of the Sea doesn’t exactly master any one area. It’s good—sometimes very good—but never quite great. Still, if you enjoy puzzle games with a mysterious story and an evolving tone, it’s definitely worth playing.

Yakuza 0 is one of those games you hate to love—but somehow, you still do. It was my first dive into the Yakuza series, and at first, it felt completely out of my comfort zone. The pacing was slow, the story seemed random, and I couldn’t quite see where it was going. But then, something clicked. Bit by bit, the scattered pieces of the story came together, and I found myself fully hooked on both the narrative and the gameplay.

The combat is solid, if a bit chaotic. It sometimes feels a little clunky and sluggish, especially with that frustrating lock-on mechanic. But once you get the hang of the different styles, you barely need it. It becomes second nature.

Minigames are everywhere in this title. Some are genuinely fun and break up the action nicely. Others, though, feel like chores. The completion list is pretty comprehensive, covering every corner of the game, which is great in theory. But trying to 100% this game? That’s a whole different story. The learning curve is steep, and being forced to replay it from scratch instead of using New Game Plus is just plain bad design.

Still, what truly carries Yakuza 0 is its story. Emotional, raw, and incredibly well-written. That bittersweet ending hit just right—it made the entire journey worth it. It’s a fantastic game... but far from perfect. There are a lot of outdated mechanics and unnecessary bloat that drag it down. It’s a fat game, and honestly, it could’ve used a trim.

Paradise Killers was an amazing deduction game that seems complicated and overwhelming at first but then everything becomes clear and the bigger picture is drawn, There are many interesting characters, morally gray situations, no apparent evil, and no clear good very philosophical game at heart but filled with mysteries, would love if revealing great secret would have a bigger impact on the story and the world, what current works but I wanted more

Damn, I can feel the hype through the screen! For someone who hates fighting games and roguelikes, yet still went all the way to the true ending back to back—that says everything about how special Sifu is. It’s one of those rare games where skill is the only thing that matters, no cheap tricks, no random luck, just pure mastery. Every dodge, every parry, every strike—it all comes down to how well you play. That feeling when you finally perfect a boss fight that wrecked you before? Unmatched.

The progression system really does a great job of making sure you improve naturally, rather than punishing you like a traditional roguelike. It’s more about learning than grinding. The cryptic story is definitely a weak point, but even then, the themes of revenge, mastery, and discipline fit so well with the gameplay that it kinda works in its own way.

Man, Sifu is more than a game—it’s a martial arts experience. 9.5/10 is a damn strong rating, and well Deserved

It is a good chill game but its achievement game not that fun for me but still there was effort made

Ori is one of those platformers that just feels good to play. The movement is smooth, responsive, and only gets better as you unlock new abilities. There’s a real sense of progression—not just in the story, but in how you interact with the world.

That being said, Ori isn’t always forgiving. Some sections, especially the escape sequences, will test your reflexes and patience. The difficulty curve can feel steep at times, but if you take your time exploring, gathering extra health, and unlocking new skills, the game becomes a lot more manageable. Plus, it rewards you with some truly stunning environments.

If you love platformers that blend challenge with beauty, Ori is a must-play. Just be prepared for some tough-but-fair platforming moments along the way.

Super puzzle game , very fun and original

Great game simple fun puzzler, liked the atmosphere and the plot at the end , enigmatic story but great one

Great Game Especially with challenged people

This is not a typical game; it’s more like stepping into a beautifully crafted story about family, loss, and memories. You explore the Finch family home, a place full of history and secrets. Every corner reveals a new story.

The unique storytelling makes this experience special. You learn about each family member’s life and final moments through short, self-contained narratives. Each story feels different, with its own visual style and way of interacting, so it never gets boring. This approach is very clever.

At its core, the game is about family connections, the pain of losing loved ones, and how our memories shape us. It thoughtfully explores these important themes. The gameplay focuses on exploring the house and experiencing the stories. However, the captivating writing and atmosphere make you forget about more traditional gameplay.

It handles sensitive topics with care, creating a strong emotional experience that stays with you. If you appreciate games for their stories and emotional depth, this is one you should definitely play. You won’t forget it.
