A really good classic survival horror with many secrets, some mini games, and control option for those who like older style tank controls or modern control. The length is also very good, my first playthrough took 5 hours in-game, and will be shorter if you know what to do (for the next playthrough for better score or searching for secrets)

Pros:
- Silent hill themed classic survival horror with classic resident evil mixed with silent hill gameplay (inventory management, classic aim controls, flashlight and radio)
- Good length and replayability for a survival horror game
- Good with somehow cryptic puzzle (it's really enjoyable if you like old style horror games)
- I think it was neat to put all readable notes in save spots to read it all over again to just review the controls and gameplay mechanic, and also for lore to someone who like to explore those

Cons:
- Camera can be annoying, especially with tank controls (I can get through it by aiming my weapon to fix the camera angle)
- Some puzzles can get a little bit hard

Succumate is an adult (if you patched it) simulator game. You have a goal with a time limit and do some management, like many other simulation game,

pros:
- the gameplay is pretty good. while it can be improved a lot, I do think it is kinda fun. And also if this is too hard, they have a continue feature which carry over some stats to make the game easier.
- Many unlockables. There are multiple endings and some optional route to replay the game.
- The story is kinda good? (see the cons)

cons:
- VERY VERY GRINDY gameplay. It is very repetitive and somewhat boring gameplay. But I think the unlockables do help a little bit
- No clear guide for unlockables. Some of it was very specific to be unlocked
- The actual resolution for this game is really small, so expect it to be blurry
- The story, especially the true ending, is very dark. Not for those who like a happy and cute story (I don't really mind it but it is very dark)

LIMBO is an indie horror platformer that stands the test of time. Even though it was released a long time ago as for this review, it still plays and looks really good.
Pros:
- very simple game control, and have a really good puzzles with great environment usage
- the gameplay feels super smooth and have really good sound

Cons:
- the puzzle can be frustating
- the story is kinda abstract, so I suggest to search about it if you want to know more (or just guess it)
- for the achievement hunter, this game has somewhat hard achievement

Resident Evil 2 (2019) is a remake of a game with the same name that was first released in 1998 for Playstation. The remake take a modern approach for the "outdated" mechanics and, while not all things are present from the original, improved many aspects. I will point out the difference of the OG and the remake here:
- fixed camera and tank control (the "outdated" mechanics) were replaced with third person camera (the modern approach)
- the remake is darker and more gloomy, and for my opinion it is scarier than the original
- overhauled the police station map, which is great! Not because the OG was bad, but for more freshness rather than lazy copy paste
- the story is much more consistent, the OG has kinda different timeline for each scenario, while the remake make it the same timeline with more continuity.
- some enemy, bosses, and map changes to reflect the story and gameplay changes

and now I will point out the pros and cons:
pros:
- A Very good third person game and also a very good horror game. Even though it switched from the clunky tank controls to the more dynamic third person, it still feels clunky and hard to fight enemies. And with limited resource and inventory, it makes a very good survival horror aspect
- Very good graphics
- The story is solid
- Have many unlockables for replayability

cons:
- this game is kinda heavy. Even though you can change the graphic settings, I don't think the lower option looks good. I think it's the same for all games with RE Engine so be wary of that.
- some frustating area and with the fact that enemy behavior is random, it kinda makes the game somewhat frustating

I remember buying a Nintendo Wii and modded it myself just to play the fan translation of the original game. This game brings back a lot of memories. I'll list the pros and cons of this game after just finished the first play through on the remake version.

Pros:
- THEY FIXED THE GHOST LIST BUG
- Good graphics improvement (same quality as MotBW remake)
- QoL updates (Hozuki doll book to list all the doll locations, auto save, ghost list has each categories instead of cramped as one long list)
- Control is tweaked for modern joystick use
- Achievement Implementation (for those who like it)

Cons:
- Running speed is as slow as the original
- Some environmental animation has low frame rate (I think it's capped at 30)
- Highlighting item is kinda annoying when using a modern joystick instead of Wii nunchuck
- Some bugs that exist also in MotBW (resolution not matched when windows icon is not set as 100%, etc)

Notes:
- There is no Playstation button layout officially, this is a little annoying for those who use Dualshock or Dualsense (Like me)
- The regional pricing is weird (In my region, it's very cheap, so it's a no brainer for me, and I read some region has very high prices)
- oh and did I mention THEY FINALLY FIXED THE GLITCHED GHOST

and for comparison from MotBW, MotLE is better (in many aspect)
MotBW last few chapters is super rushed, and there are so many things that made me super confused. But for this game, it is not as confusing as that. The pacing is so much better, and the inter-connectivity made backtracking not a chore. And I think MotBW is not that scary, while most part in MotLE is very unsettling. Also the theme is more engaging for me

8.5/10

This game is okay. The settings, character, and plot is good. The SHMUP section is okay, I don't really like it, but not that bad either. I just expecting more twist and more background story, for, well, more complex story. Depending on your region, I don't know if it's worth the full price (in my region, it's kinda cheap, like approx. 10$, so I do think it's really worth the price). And I do love Bullet Hell genre so maybe there's some bias for my score lol. Oh, I do want to mention that this game is kinda flashy with it's color and interface. And the sprite has a static movement, which is a plus. The soundtrack is also good.

Legendary game. This version is not available anymore (there's the remaster tho if you want), so maybe this game is somehow an abandonware

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The puzzle is kinda fun, but really short and simple. The artwork is good. And of course it has a patch ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

7/10

This game is amazing. I kinda want to wait how this game turns out before writing an early review, and yes it was worth the wait. This game has a really good developer, they're improving the game very quickly, adding so many features, fixing many bugs, and even adding a new chart or fixed the chart based on feedback! I am very impressed how the game improved, and enjoyed it even tho I kinda play it rarely. It surprises me every time I want to check the game because so many features implemented in such a relatively short time. There is a downside for casual players because this game is REALLY hard. But I think the devs know and even implemented a Basic mode! I don't know what to say anymore other than this game is really good with amazing devs.

Note: I highly recommend to buy DLC especially the Prestige Pass. Even though it was pricey, there're so many songs that is good rather than the base game only songs

9/10

The game is okay. I do feel the balance in this game is kinda weird. you can skip the battle tho lol
The artwork is okay, the animation is okay too. It's not a bad game, but it's not that good too for me.
