Я ВСПОМНИЛА одну невероятную игру! Она как новелла на час, но у нее так классно продумано повествование!!!! Игра IF FOUND, если вы устали или вам тяжко сейчас очень советую. Да и если хорошо тоже! Ставлю мизинчик, что она оставит после себя что-то в вашем сердце.

Про нее очень мало кто знает, но я очень хочу чтобы ее заметили!

January - 2023

Games

High on life- not funny, not novel, pretty boring, enjoyable enough to finish once you get around the end but was about so close to dropping it a few hours in.

I don’t know if it makes sense but instead of being subversive it’s superficially subversive. It’s like “look at us we’re doing stuff differently” (this might be a direct quote) for all of like 2 seconds before going back to being the blandest shit I ever played. The 2 seconds aren’t even cool.

Tunic- deserves a game award, made me pull out sticky notes to decipher secrets. But it’s a wonderful game even if you don’t engage with the secrets (but they are amazing and you should). Talked several peoples ear off about it and will maybe do it again. I don’t know if I can add any praise that hasn’t been said before me. This game rocks.

Road 96- I saw a review calling it “it’s as if a taletell game didn’t want to waste your time” and honestly (as a taletell games fan) I see what they mean.

It’s fun, it’s intriguing, having to find a new way to escape each chapter, interacting with the characters and discovering the story that is happening around you- all were interesting.

I liked how locations felt very open sometimes. Some scenes are basically cutscenes where you have very little choice. While other are more open location where you can explore backrooms and get rewarded with resources for your journey.

As a game who prides itself on being on being procedurally generated you’d think it would lend itself for replayability but second time around I was bored going through mostly same scenes as my first playthough. Even with the selecting different options they would mostly got he same way, made me wish there was more option I could do sometimes but it’s a game and can’t let me do everything ever so I don’t blame them for that.

If found- a queer story wonderfully told with an interesting mechanic, beautiful art style and music. I am the target audience for this and I enjoyed it lots.

Story hit me hard, the eraser mechanic surprisingly kept me focused while being just like wonderful way to keep the story moving, especially with how it was used to transition certain scenes.

The credits song slaps hard.

And the Ireland trivia is very cool actually.

Hi Fi rush- for the lack of a better term, it’s so fucking cringe. The most uninspired story and cast, every cliche and trope ever rolled around into one painful story. They try to use like jokes that make no sense and then they are like “isn’t it funny that it doesn’t make sense” - no it’s not

It’s as if they wanted to recreate the feel of Deadpool 2013 game only the main character is the most main insufferable anime boy character also the year is 2023 and nobody told the writers.

They had one good joke and it’s in the trailer and it’s about the writers of the game and not a ingame thing. The trailer starts with *freezeframe* “you gotta be wondering how I got myself here” and it kept going about the same level of humor.

Game mechanics wise it’s actually interesting and even fun! Chaining combos to the rhythm of a beat is actually cool (even if I kinda suck at it). I wish it was in a different game tho. Why can I guess every characters whole deal without hearing them. Why is there a character who’s just a jojo reference and the reference is look he does poses and got Japanese letter floating around? Why is the only time that I felt joy about the story in game is when the main character got hit so he shut the fuck up. At least the naming conventions of chracters is fun. If I could play this game on mute just so I didn’t need to hear the story I would but it’s a rhythm game so :/

Movies

Puss in boots- slaps, watch it

Glass onion- slaps, watch it

Predestination- it was a rewatch and honestly it’s not only fun cause you can see all the hints and joke they drop early before you know the twist that would go over your head. But it’s also fun since I watched it with a bunch of people who never watched it before and seeing them trying to guess what’s going on and then figure it out in real time was a blast. Span off my favorite in joke of the day with that group.

Akira- I can see why it’s a certified classic. I don’t know why there is a man having a asthma attack as a leitmotif in the soundtrack but it slaps.

Disclosure- been told by my friend I should watch it, I watched it, I would have watched it earlier, you should watch it.

Shows

Mob psycho s1- I’m rewatching it (watched season 1 and 2 and want to remember all before I go into season 3) as a watch party with friends and I’m having a blast. Missed my boy my son.

The last of us- so far- I could talk how it reignited my love for it, and how I forgot how cool is the specific way they made zombies, and how much I missed all the creature design. But episode 3 just came out and I’m weak. Good adaptation I was skeptical before it came out (I mean a video game adaptation,, you know how it usually goes down) and also didn’t get why does it need to exist. However good show so far love it love it love it.

Erase to rebuild

I was very curious about this “visual novel” game because I heard the game touched on the subject of transidentity and self-acceptance. The game mechanism is a bit surprising ; your cursor is an eraser and through the game you’ll erase texts, memories, feelings...through  the sight of a young transwoman, Kasio.

The game esthetic is absolutely beautiful <3 it’s like reading the pages of a comic book, with doodles and watercolor drawings. Also, the music is perfect, such a delight to my ears <3 Now for the story, I think it was very moving and I could see some comments from trans people who said they recognized themselves in it, so I’m glad that the game was able to transcribe the emotions & struggles for some of them.

I have two regrets though. The mechanism with an eraser is original but it quickly becomes tedious imo (my poor wrist...). Also, I personally think it could have a much bigger impact if the player could interact more directly with the story : for people who are ignorant with the subject, or who don’t understand the suffering of these people, I don’t know if the game as it is would be enough to make them see it differently. I think that with more interactions, the player would feel closer to the MC bcs more involved in what’s happening to her. That way I think it could have been more educational...

Anyway, if you search for a short game that will give you lot of emotions and knows its stuffs, If Found will be there for you~

#if found #personally I'm very empatethic so I tend to absorb emotions very easily (too much sometimes....) #but I'm sure not everyone is like that..that's why I have this regret for the game #at least I'm glad it exists <3 games like this are important #personal #Lola plays games

From the game “If found”

#if found

[marshvlovestv]

I kind of thought I would be looking back at games #201-210 with disappointment, but no, all in all, this was a pretty solid bunch. A lot of these games just had little quirks that kept them from being perfect experiences but were still decent overall.

1. If Found - For a game with not much game to speak of, this one was by far the best of the bunch. An emotional story with beautiful visuals; the only other thing I could possibly ask out of a visual novel is a little romance, but this isn’t that kind of story and that’s okay.

2. Sundered - This should not be ranked as high as it is. It’s in a genre I can’t stand and I had technical issues that meant I couldn’t finish it. But the thing is, I so thoroughly and completely enjoyed the time I spent with it that to punish it for those things would be disingenuous. This will probably be the last metroidvania I ever play, but what a sendoff.

3. Soma Union - I have a Switch now. I really need to play Earthbound. When people follow in the tradition of Earthbound they only create bangers.

4. Super Meat Boy - I wanted to rank this lower out of sheer spite. But. This is a really fun game. No getting around that. Even if the devs are edgy assholes who hurt my feelings for using keyboard controls. I really want to finish it but I don’t think my poor heart can take more of that bullying.

5. Soft Body - Conversely and yet along the same lines, I wanted to rank this one higher out of spite, to prove to the devs and any other PC queens interested that this game is perfectly playable with the keyboard. There were other games I just liked better, but this was still a really cool experience. Gotta love a bullet hell.

6. Shrug Island - A strange but still pretty interesting little puzzle game

7. Master Spy - I’m not amazing with stealth and there was that one seemingly impossible jump that made me put the game down. But there’s some pretty good platforming here

8. Robot Island - I kind of wish this was just a visual novel instead of a 3D exploration game because the controls for that segment were weirdly slippery.

9. IMMORTALITY - The more I think back on it (and watch analyses and stuff) the more I appreciate the bizarre twist, and now I think I’ve figured out where the real disconnect between me and this game happened. It’s a love letter to the medium of film and I don’t like movies. Just not about that kino scene. I’ll only drag my butt to the theater for the newest Pixar movie and even then I haven’t watched Lightyear yet. 

10. Gordian Quest - I’d readily recommend this game to my more hardcore D&D friends. But for me, a newbie, there’s an awful lot going on here and I found it overwhelming.
