After playing for a while I just gotta say, this is the perfect combination.

Now a little story: When I first played Vampire Survivors I aways thought how great would to see castlevania with it, I looked at the weapons, characters, monsters, cenario, music and could feel the inspiration, I wanted to see this combination since forever but never thought it would be possible, but now it is here, a dream became reality and I couldn't be more happy.

The dedication from the devs in this game is perfection, keep up the good work and I'll keep having curses on every night ;)

Now that I finished my first playthrough and it took me around 138h I think is a good moment to write a review. We begin with the praise, for me I already consider Baldur's Gate 3 as Game of the Year, it has showed me a potential in videogames that I thought was lost, the narrative is great, the characters you can feel they are part of the world, the objects have a history, everything that is there feels like it belongs to a real world, your choices really matter, and the choices range from the good to the bad, you don't just choose an alignment and that's it for the rest of the game, you can be good and evil at every encounter with an NPC, also companions are not just cannon foder or something to complete a party, they have their own history, quests, desires and choices, you can manipulate them, but can also leave to their preferences, and the romance is open, it is not like you made your character something and now you can only choose one or two, they are all (in the words of Coh Carnage) main character sexual, wich is great, now talking about character creation, I loved, it was one of the most complete ones that I saw even compared to MMO's, I could make a character (actually my wife made mine, because she makes the best characters) that I was proud to see on the cutscenes and play with, and the ability to play with the companions is something that you don't see everyday, but as aways with the praises there is the complains. And my only complain was that I wanted more, the game ended and I wanted to see more, explore more. This game made me feel like playing a real DnD campaign for the best part and the worst part that it is to end the campaign. And to end with the technical part, my computer is not the best in the market, I would say it is a medium high spec, but playing with everything on medium, shadows on low, and character texture on high, the game runned smoothly, it only slowed on Act 3 and when I saved and loaded too frequently and it only closed one time because there was too much stuff happening, but performance wise it is perfectly optimized.
Overall there is no one words to describe how great this game is, Larian created a giant among the games on the industry, it deserves all the success and now it is time for me to create a new adventurer and explore other possibilities

When you first start the game it is the same as the first one, with just new slimes, but along the journey it is possible to see that it is more than it looks. So far I'm not disapointed, just in love for this new instalment of the franchise, looking forward for what the devs will bring.

Great gameplay, easy to start, fun to play and hard to master. Also a great tribute to the castlevania series, wich I love and apreciate.

A great comeback from an old anime, the history is fantastic and gameplay is a homage off the 2d metroidvania that I love so much, one of the best experiences that I had playing a game from so long.

After so many years having this game the community and the developers still amaze me I am wating for the final release of 1.4 and yet all the news and sneak peaks the developers make gets me hyped even more by the day and the community still developing new mods and updating old ones just makes me happy to have experienced this journey.

Great wallpapers made by the community and also low cpu usage.

Depois de encontrar a demo deste jogo e me fascinar por sua simplicidade a primeira vista, porém complexidade ao longo da jornada me mantive acompanhando as novidades e updates ao longo do tempo, tentei até participar dos vários giveways, mas não ganhei, até finalmente ver a notícia do lançamento oficial, eu estava animado e decidido a ajudar o developer da forma que me era possível. E agora, após ter finalmente comprado o jogo posso dizer com todas as palavras que valeu cada centavo, em uma era onde as pessoas querem colocar conteúdos exagerados, gráficos pesados e coisas do gênero, Forager me impressiona por sua ideia simples e muito bem elaborada. Estou ansioso com o que vêm por aí e recomendo a todos que embarquem nessa aventura que começa em uma pequena ilha.

Um jogo que me fez relembrar meus tempos de paciencia, em um momento onde todo jogo tenta ser o mais sucinto possível, que o foco sempre fica no multiplayer, Stardew Valley me surpreendeu com quantas horas é possível se gastar e sem ter a repetição de fazer sempre o mesmo. A variedade é incrível, mesmo eu que não seja acostumado a cuidar da fazenda eu ainda posso pescar, caçar monstros, minerar ou até sair todo dia coletando itens pelo chão. Vale muito a pena tanto solo quanto para jogar com seus amigos, agora que também foi lançado o multplayer.

Great game, very funny, lots of references, very easy to win as well very easy to lose sometimes, great mechanics of gameplay, in the future maybe adding new mechanics and maybe new modes, this game has potential, that's why I love indie games.
