Hi! I like to play a wide variety of different games and I started this account primarily to help myself keep track of what I've played and what I thought, although I'm happy to share it with others as well. A lot of the games I play are very short, so don't be surprised to see a ton of reviews from me.
My reviews are only meant to reflect the experience I had playing these games, and as such are highly subjective. They may be influenced by things such as nostalgia, my mood while I was playing them, what I ate that day or what the weather was like, so don't expect any amount of objectivity. I rate everything on a scale of 0-10 instead of the default 1-5, although it'll be pretty rare that I rate anything below a 6, as that would mean that I made a big mistake when picking the game in the first place.
I made this account in January 2023, and at the moment I'm only including the games that I finished starting in 2023. That may change in the future, but if you're reading this then it has not yet.

A nice little mini Metroidvania. More Metroid than Vania, which is what I prefer. Satisfying exploration and a weapon system that's fun to tinker with. The presentation is a little amateurish, but in a way that adds its own sort of charm. Sometimes I just want my Metroidvanias to be over in 2 or 3 hours, and this is a solid game that delivers on that bite-sized kind of experience.
This would be a fairly unremarkable roguelike game even if it was more polished, but unfortunately it's far too janky and buggy for even that to be the case. It's short enough that I was planning on finishing it anyway, but after losing a run that I was most of the way through due to a glitch, I had to give up. A game-ending glitch can mean losing an hour or two of progress in this genre, so that's just a complete dealbreaker for me.
