I played this every single day during lockdown, enough said. It makes past versions seem a bit lacking due to the ability to decorate outside but New Horizons is also taking its sweet time with releasing all the NPCs.

Played and finished Loom in 4 hours and I have to say I was missing out on such a magical adventure all these years. Great voice acting and art! I really wish it was one of those point & click games that got several sequels.

An old linear visual novel. Yes, there are actions to be taken to progress but either our heroine, Asumi, gets killed (Game Over) or you continue the story to its unique end. The graphics have a particular style. Either you like it or you don't. I liked them. The music fits well with the game. The story is very engaging. In spite of all the Game Over I've got, I was able to persevere until the end, because I wanted to know the answers so much to the mysteries and the end of the story. On the other hand, the lifespan is short for its price. Between 2 and 3 hours to complete it.
A free VN, but the story is meh, the English is horrible, the art is average at best (the characters are from Manga ComiPo), it end at a strange point and, to get the continuation, you must buy the DLC.

A visual novel with a cool concept (A Pathologic-like VN? TO BUY RIGHT NOW!) but with a life span far too short for its price. A good hour for everything. Also, the writing is complex, and even with the Codex in the game + the info contained in the "Cart of Rarities" DLC, I can't figure it all out. Yes, it's a universe rich in characters, concepts, and special terms, but there are too many of them. At times, I felt like I was reading an encyclopedia about a foreign culture rather than a story. Besides, the story is more like a prologue about the world and the ending seem to be open for a sequel. A series of VN? The graphics are nice, the soundtrack is good.

The story of this game won me over with its horror-mystery aspect, in the style of Alice in Wonderland. It has a short duration, but it's a game worth playing.
A short tale, 10-15 minutes long and semi-linear, because some choices give you quick endings and there is only one path to follow to know the true end of the story. The music is nice. The pictures are in the same style as BRG's Red Riding Hood. Designed with Visual Novel Maker. Simple chivos to have, for the 100% hunters. The dubbing (voice of the narrator) is more pleasant than Red Riding Hood's, but as I read quickly, I mutated it. :)

Increible, Firewatch meets Sea of Thieves. Ha sido una experiencia narrativa increible, también te digo que escribo así un poco rápido para que me dejen registrar la review.
I haven't been able to finish this because of nausea and always having to stop after 10 minutes. But I did play a good hour in total and really love the mysterious atmosphere.
The combination of items is really not intuitive, I had to keep looking up what to do. After a while, I just didn't want to play anymore.
The tale of Little Red Riding Hood in visual novel, created with Visual Novel Maker. As it's a tale, in 10-15 minutes it's done. There is a choice for 2 different endings, whether the big bad wolf gets his way or not. The music, taken from the public domain, is nice, nothing more. The illustrations are good, but it's a strange mix of photos and cartoon characters. There's dubbing (a narrator), which is good for toddlers, but I found her voice sleepy. The story is available in several languages. There are 3 chivos, easy to get on Steam, for the achievements hunters.

“Suits a business rpg” is an amazing RPG Maker indie game for PC. From the “lore”, to the turn-based battles, to the black-and-white universe, to the “office / pop culture” humor, to the great music and to the characters. I had a blast playing it, getting all the achievements on Steam, and I’ll do more playthroughs often. The Guy is a charming protagonist. Jerome and Meat Kid are great allies. The CEO is one heck of a great final boss. This is one of my favorites RPG Maker games and I recommend it to everyone. Its price is also very cheap.

Perfect for fans of Riven and Myst. Same types of puzzles, graphics and first-person gameplay.

I hope Persona 5 keep going with these sequels.

I remember picking this out for $3 at some outlet sale advertised on a pamphlet left on the car. Probably the best game purchase ever.

I spent so much time enthralled in the dark story, the conversations, the puzzles and the soundtrack. I was probably a little sad when it ended.

Ok I'll recommend this because it has many criteria that make it an ideal adventure game: hidden cookies in every scene, achievements, mini-games, alternate endings to collect, and point accumulation with game progress that unlocks content. The songs are kinda catchy too.

HOWEVER, the racism in this game is right in your face and it takes away from the experience.
Great if you love casual find-the-object point-and-click adventures.

I was leaning on recommending this game but pacing gets really slow after a while. I had to quit after 50 hours.

The game starts fun and atmospheric but turns grindy and repetitive after 25-30 hours.

i understand why stealth couldn't have been a bigger part of the main game, but this is nonetheless much more compelling to play through mechanically than all of the game otherwise

the narrative serves as a decent, if not very essential cycle-ending capstone to Bioshock as a series
we didn't need to know how Atlas began his take over of Rapture, but i wasn't irritated about it
we didn't need this revenge turned redemption plot for a non-omniscient Elizabeth to go through, but i'm overall glad we have it

we especially didn't need to know that Fitzroy's child-murder-ness was something that she was asked to do by the Lutece's, a couple of people i still don't quite understand on the same level that you don't really know why the fucking Gman does what Gman does
because by god does that put into question a few things:
why the fuck are the Vox Populi still characterized as murderous thugs? is this supposed to make her a martyr? because it just feels like a justification for a story telling choice that didn't make any fucking sense at the time and especially doesn't make sense now
Elizabeth could've became a hardened killer through like
another method, maybe? 
something relating to Booker would've been fine

idk i'm not gonna ramble anymore, this dlc's good and absolutely worth the five-six hours it takes to get through both episodes
but if you didn't like infinite, you won't really like this all that much more
Read more...
this carries over a lot of the game's strengths and weaknesses, but the flair of returning to Rapture pre-collapse with this Noir-ish backdrop works in its favor
and it does a good job of piggybacking off of one of the final speculative details in the core game's ending

i say that if you didn't hate the core game, you should definitely give this a shot
