ISAT is just as beautiful in style as it is in its writing, and the gameplay is so considerate of players. I grew attached to all of the characters really quickly and the feelings they work through individually are complex but delivered in simple ways that make it so reaI. Lastly, I have the urge to interact with every single item just because I want to see the dialogue in-between the characters!!

Note: I must protect Isabeau with my whole life.

The Crush House was my long awaited game of the summer. The drama, the art direction, and the premise really intrigued me. The colour palette of this whole game, and the characters are so colourful in personality. The dialogue is hilarious and familiar - it's that messy goodness that's found in reality television. Had a lot of fun with the unsolicited fights and sudden hook-ups! You can tell that a lot of research was made for the happenings of The Crush House, particularly the viewers comments felt very realistic.

A few thoughts on the game - the recycled dialogue between scenarios is personally okay with me, it gave me another chance to see the full conversation if I had missed it, or the answers would be different depending on the characters, but variety would be really great! I also wish you could review your footage by the end of the day, and see your work come to life.

Finally, without spoiling anything, the ending didn't feel like one, and it felt more like a post-credits scene. I was really excited once the mystery was starting to unfold, that I somewhat wish there were a little more. I hope that there are plans to beef this game up, and I really look forward to its growth!

All in all, I think The Crush House is a fun game to play particularly with your messy messy friends LOL. I will be running another playthrough! Let's get crushing!

Definitely had to focus for this one. What a fun game! I wish I could wipe my memory clean and play it all over again. If you feel like there's no way you're going to figure it out, just take a step back and let the book guide your way.

Thiiiiissss gammmmeee issss soooo goooood.

When you have finally deduced an event that you've been stuck on, you feel like the smartest person in the world. This game was wonderfully challenging, the problem solving and the sleuthing you do to find how things work is so unique. I got stuck a few times, but nothing that going back to the drawing board cannot fix. I wish I could wipe my memory and play this game all over.

The DLC was also amazing, people are really evil fr. I am really looking forward to the sequel.

A visually gorgeous turn-based RPG. A common problem that I personally have with turn-based combat is that it can get repetitive, but I DID NOT have that problem here since you acquire different and better attacks that can change up the battles at a good pace. The mini-games during battles really keep you on your toes as well. Tip: If you want the most out of the battles, make sure to check in with different characters multiple times, and help friends along the way!

The character design of the game is fantastic, and the bosses are especially stunning. Fun dialogue, too. If you want to have 'first week of the summer' vibes, you'll enjoy Echo Generation: Midnight Edition.

PS. Little Sister is the MVP!

The voice acting is so good. I unfortunately love the Cryptmaster even if it is one-sided.

I have wrote things in the game very honestly and it has responded the same way. The writing and narrative is incredibly strong, the problem solving is a good amount of challenge, and the combat involves a player.

I haven't beaten the game yet, but I'm really excited to see the different ways this game will surprise me. If you are into using your words as weapons, solving riddles, and laughing at character encounters - Cryptmaster is for you!

Lil' Guardsman has been one of my favourite games of the year. The dialogue and characters are each inidividually so memorable and charming in their own ways, and to top it off I really like its charming art style. In terms of gameplay, I really like the variety of creative problemsolving you can do for each day.

I only got the second best playthrough on PS5, so I'm currently replaying it to get the best one! If you like making consequential choices while having a laugh or two, please give Lil' Guardsman a shot.

There are also a lot of references to the GTA. If you know you know.

DepowerBall brings out the best and the worst out of people. It's a fun couch co-op and the rounds are short and sweet. Each of the powers are carefully balanced so all of them are equally devestating to lose. It's lots of fun, lots of yelling, and even fun to watch. Looking forward to unlocking even more additional accessories to really customise my character.

The overall look of the Amanda the Adventurer show and the world in general speak to a certain era of time! The puzzles and dialogue are really clever, and the replay value is absolutely there. Rooting for you, Wooly!!! D:
