Got all achievements

I've always liked art but have never been much of an artist, but that did not stop me from enjoying this game. Chicory has an overarching theme of dealing with depression and finding your place in the world, something I can heavily relate to right now. I think because of that a lot of the more important story moments struck a chord with me. The majority of the dialogue in the game is more funny or cute, which isn't bad, just not as memorable. The gameplay is decent too. As I mentioned I'm not an artist, which you don't have to be to enjoy this game at all, but it would probably make your experience even better. I really liked the use of coloring in the world to solve puzzles, that was a cool idea that they went pretty far with. My main problem was that getting all the collectibles and side content was pretty whatever for me, the rewards were nothing major, and looking back the only reason I really went for 100% was to get all of the Xbox achievements. Anyway, I still enjoyed this game quite a bit and I can see why so many other people loved it too. This is a game I think a lot of people who are struggling with their own issues should play, because even if they do not gain much from it they’ll still be having a good time.

Played via Xbox Game Pass

I had never really heard about this game before I saw that it got added to Game Pass, but I guess something about the trailers, screenshots, and the fact that it was published by Annapurna was enough to convince me to play this game, and I do not regret it. Just like the Ultravoid the game takes place in, Solar Ash feels like a variety of other games mixed together into a new and stunning experience. The story is captivating, and keeps you interested as to how this area got the way it is. And the ending is trippy but amazing as well. I actually got both the good and bad endings on purpose, and the good ending in particular was fantastic. However, the game can feel repetitive at times, due to every level essentially having the same structure, and your main character giving similar reactions to the same events that happen in every level every time. Also, despite the clear undertones of what the story represents, a lot of the sci-fi jargon gets confusing and plain stupid after a while. Still, I had a lot of fun with this one, and I have to say I think it passed my expectations, considering I had no idea what to expect.

Got to Level 178

The last season I got super into for this game was Chapter 3 Season 1, which was from late 2021 to early 2022, so it's been a little bit since I've been on the Fortnite grind. The only reason I got the battle pass was to finally get Peter Griffin after years of leaks and rumors saying he would be added to the game. As for my thoughts on the season itself, well it's become obvious that Epic Games wants Fortnite to be less of a game and more of an "experience," a general product to have all of your entertainment needs in one. You could see that a lot with this season with the new modes added, as they are quite literally called experiences, and also that whole Disney collab thing. The actual season was pretty fun though. The map was interesting, I liked the bosses, and the ability to modify your weapons, which I initially thought was stupid, grew on me a lot. I also liked the battle pass, all the skins were pretty cool looking, and finally getting Peter Griffin and also Solid Snake was awesome. It's just that when you grind this game as much as I did, it begins to just get boring, especially by the end of the season. All the new modes are kinda whatever too. The physics in Rocket Racing can be absolutely abhorrent sometimes, LEGO Fortnite was honestly boring and annoying to play, and Fortnite Festival was fun, but got old really quickly. I enjoyed this season, but I definitely will not look back at it as fondly as I do for other seasons I grinded.
