Minecraft
2011
minecraft is just minecraft, if you don't like the slow pace at which the developers update this game with new features it's not because they can't but because they don't want to fill the game with useless shit
Very short, a really good way to spend half an hour
It hit so much harder than I was expecting this to
Perfect parts surreal and creepy

Sakura Spirit

Don't ask why I have this...
Anyway, it's a porn "game" that's a clone of many other clones, because the company behind it releases the same game with a different skin 8 times a year (not joking look it up), that's way too into the plot; as usual. And yes, there is literally no gameplay, it's a digital porn novel... fucking hooray.
Played for 40 minutes, no tits and the bad writing wasn't even cringey enough to laugh at, it was just sad. Me and my friend streamed it on Discord expecting a good old laugh, but nothing.
0/10 - No horny and no funny.

The father of modern endless runners. The gameplay is extremely simple but very engaging.

better use of the concept of speed than most Sonic games.
It's not particularly good in any real way. But this game will sadly live in infamy thanks to its story being memeified, instead of living in obscurity as a "meh" Atari game based on a movie.
Also, read the damn instructions before criticizing any games from this era. Half of the complaints people have are that they don't even know what they're supposed to do. These games simply didn't have the storage for on screen instructions- ET absolutely fails victim to this.

Lovely, even if both of the endings I got made me a little sad.

nice little indie rpg with fun mechanics, it's free so it doesn't hurt to try and a really great free game at that.
This will be my one-for-all review on joke visual novels. What started off as satirizing and parodying a medium eventually became a part of the medium itself. This is further enforced by the normalization of parody dating simulators directly from the source or by larger established entities.

clunky, charming and ugly as fuck

I almost quit, twice. I felt trapped in the familiar twine architecture, in the alien words, with nothing to do but ‘sleep’. Only the music sustained me.
But this trap was the point. I slept, and my sleep was slowly redefined. I reapplied hormones, and glyphs rose to the surface of my skin. Words were made flesh, or flesh words, and I felt their substance. I saw how my days, my skills, my damage helped create my sovereign oppressor, my queen.
As the final song crashed over me, I realized I’d just played one of the essential games of 2014.

I'm not really a fan of the abstracted vaguely edgy worldbuilding in this, and most of the gameplay loop requires you to do the same action over and over again until you get some new objective which is kind of boring. Those issues aside, it's alright, I just wish it was more focused on the human aspect which is easily the best part here

Quite literally the Dark Souls of walking sims
Pony Island
2016
Metagames are a dime a dozen these days, but Pony Island deserves some credits for being ahead of the curve. The actual puzzles are quite easy. The parody platforming sections are not as easy as they seem though, and could be cause of frustration. There are some Christian references dotted around. Religion knowledge is not required, but could enhance the experience.
