Is not pokemon.
Palworld offers an incredible experience similar to Rust or Ark, is a unique survival game that still under development, more fun to play with friends than alone. the battles and progression system can turn repetitive at some point but the boss battles are challenging enough as well as complete the whole Palpedia.
It still need to be polished as there are plenty of bugs and textures look bad, let's hope the developers can convert this game into something amazing, definetly has the potential.
Totally recommended it to play with friends, but I'd wait for the final release if what you expect is a finished game.

This game hit me good, also it's been a while since we received something with this kind quality for the SH franchise.
We explore the depths of depression and suicide through "Anita", a character with her own tragic past but with a present equality terrible, and gladly, we get to experience a character development in this 2h gaming experience.
The short message is not a game that makes you jump out of horror, as every silent hill, this one relies on a psychological horror base, and although is not as scary as previous games, the level design and atmosphere compensate this issue and makes you uncomfortable during most of the experience.
There is no combat and most people will try to denigrating it by calling it a walking simulator, yes is a walking sim drama, as every SH game if we take out the combat, but if of course if you don't like these type of games, do try it. There are a few escape and chase sequences, however these feel scripted and can be not scary at all, but the last one is being combined with a puzzle which makes it great as you go towards the end of the game.
Lastly for the audio section is one of the best things this game has to offer, with great sound effects whenever you walk on different materials, phone notifications or even turning pages in a book. These basic sounds are perfectly made it helps to the immersion, and of course, when it comes to the horror sections is even better, whispering, screams, metal parts hitting walls floor (or even you) really build up the tension necessary for you to grit your teeth.
I totally recommend The Short Message, however, if you or a close one ever experienced depression or is something you're going through, as well as suicide topics and bullying, be careful if you decide to play this as it is very explicit.
Other than that, is a free game on PS5 so definitely check it out!

The story is certainly captivating with a reminisce of Evangelion, so if you liked it, this game is for you. Gameplaywise this was released in the PS2 so the controls are kind of wanky, you get used to them easily but is definitely not the same as how we play modern games. The mechas are easy to control but yet the movements, special abilities and weapons are pretty basic which can make it feel too easy to play sometimes.
As for the level design you mainly fight in the air so you can't really contemplate the cities and scenarios unless you're not fighting so it's kind of a gray area for me, because I can't say is good or bad, is just ok, the maps are ok, I feel like the levels should be more detailed to actually get the full experience to drive a mecha, but it's an old game so I understand the hardware limitations.
Lastly for the Audio, the SFX are great and I can't say the music is bad I just don't think the techno style is for me, and it felt repetitive.
This game is not a must, although is a good game, but definitely try it if you're are interested in a mecha game.
I'll continue with the 2nd game hopefully before the year ends, and I will focus on new games for now.

The extra content is worth 10 dlls, if you never played it and don't own a copy of the PS4 version, the full price is definitely worth it for the whole main campaign and extras.
Personally I liked more the director's commentary over the cutscenes but playing the rogue lite mode is fun, however, there are better ones outside so I didn't stick to it.
note that my opinion may be biased, TLOU2 is my favorite game.

Although the story is good, it really is not interesting enough to keep me going. Being an old JRPG makes it tedious to play for me; Things like sudden fights or the lack of skiping dialogues is not for me anymore. The music and character design is precious, and I will definitely give it a chance if we count with a Remake in the future that makes it less boring to play.

A great game that talks about war in a magnificent and realistic way, it's necessary to play more than once to get every pice of information that helps you understand the depths of the topic is talking about, the war and it's true nature, and how it can destroy a man.
The gameplay is generic, however is not a bad thing, since the game is supposed to show the war as it is and not as "killing is fun", that being said it is polished and certainly not tiring to play.
It has a few bugs but nothing that destroys the experience, too short in my opinion (avg 5hrs) but I think it's enough if you're planning on a 2nd run.

Too much information on screen, menus and overall boring, combat is fun at first then is just repetitive. Characters design is good but animations are terrible.
