Pokémon Violet
2022
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet is a missed opportunity for The Pokémon Company. The game is what many fans have dreamed of for the past 10 years, but it falls short in several aspects. We're talking about a game with so many problems that it's difficult to overlook the positives.
For years, fans have been clamoring for an open-world Pokémon game. When the franchise transitioned from portable Nintendo consoles to the Switch, we thought it was finally happening. However, our hopes were dashed when Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and Sword/Shield were released with a more traditional approach. So when we first caught a glimpse of Scarlet/Violet, it felt like a dream come true.
It was developed to be the next big thing in the Pokémon franchise. The freedom it offers, allowing players to choose their next objective, is a refreshing experience. This newfound liberty, combined with new objectives like battling against Titans and enemy team bases, brings a much-needed sense of innovation to the franchise.
Unfortunately, the game's performance is a major drawback. And what a drawback it is... The game suffers from numerous performance issues, with frequent FPS drops below 25fps. The resolution also fluctuates between 1080p and 720p.
This game needed another year of development to become the most important game in the franchise. As it stands now, with its performance issues, it's more enjoyable to play the older games.
It's ridiculous that, even after 7 months, we still don't have a patch to address the most noticeable issues. It seems like Game Freak and The Pokémon Company don't care about the fans, and their main focus is fulfilling their generation agenda and make money.
Should you give Pokémon Scarlet/Violet a chance? Absolutely not! Your money is too precious to be given to a company like that!

It's so much better than the fisrt one. Maybe the story is not that good as Zero Dawn, but everything else is better. I saw somethings from The Witcher 3, like the background of the side quests.
Don't play Forbidden West before Zero Dawn. You'll miss a lot of things.

Fully appreciate what it’s saying, doing, where it’s ideologically positioning itself, and its profoundly large heart. I also absolutely respect what a masterwork display of the capabilities of the Unity engine this is. But, my god, what a fucking slog that horribly overstays its navel-gazing welcome, especially Acts III and IV. Gave up after opening sequence on the boat during IV.
A little puzzle game in Lego style. And there is even a little story!.. Well.. very little but it's there.
The puzzles are mostly not that hard, but still not to easy too.
Sometimes it was a bit clumsy to get your stone in the right time on the right place, but nothing that broke the game.
So all in all: Nice little puzzle game

I'm at a point in my life where I'm kind of tired of playing hard games, so I'm glad I didn't quit after my 14th try at the second level. Definitely deserve some awards this year.
Life is Strange 2
2018
Life is Strange 2 is that kind of game that let you decide how your character will interact in some dialogs and situations. Every choice you make will change the end of the story. There are really good games that are perfect on it like Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain.
The fisrt Life is Strange and Before the Storm are masterpieces. They teach us how to conect with the characters, something really important in this type of game. Life is Strange 2 does not do that. To be honest, I didn't like the brothers and thought the small one really annoying. This is really bad and the game fails in something really important.
That makes you don't care about some parts of the story that the developers tried to make you shocked. To be honest, threre are just two scenes that made me fell some emotion.
If you don't know how this game works, I can tell you is pretty simple. Like I said before, the game focus in how you will interact with world arround you. There's no action segments that let you control the character. You'll only decide how to answer some questions or how to react in a situation. Everything you decide will make the following events change. That's another problem here.
You won't have a different story if you play the game multiple times. Only the end will change. For me, it's pretty bad. If you compare with games like Detroit: Become Human and As Dusk Falls, almost everything changes with your decisions. That's a problem for me here.
It's not a bad game but it's not as good as the first two. Life is Strange 2 is the most forgettable game of the franchise and I'm saying this after True Colors that it's a just a cool game, nothing more than that.

Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
A chosen one of many isn't new
When you think you're full of luck
in the bullock's you'll get struck
Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
The wolves over yonder packed a punch
So listen carefully to our hunch
To be the chosen one
Really sound like loads of fun.
But in the end you'll just be someone's lunch.
Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
The prophecy is never coming true
In a pickle you'll be stuck
Like a chicken you'll cluck
Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
Your mourning for this boy was very brief.
You certainly did not show any grief.
You pillaged his cadaver
But in the end it didn't matter
You're nothing but a two-bit common thief
Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
Don't think for just a second it's not true
When your life has run amuck
You'll see that you're the schmuck.
Oh, it's bad luck to be
Really bad luck to be
Nobody could disagree.
It's a freaking guarantee.
Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
Diddly doo.

Beer, Beer, Beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer
A long time ago way back in history
When all there was to drink, was nothing but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mopps,
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.
Hey!
He must have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king.
And to his praises we shall always sing.
Look at what he's done for us, he's filled us up with cheer.
Lord Bless Charlies Mopps the man who invented
Beer, Beer, Beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer
The Drunken Rat, the Aiken Drum, the Trowles Pub as well,
One thing you can be sure of, it's Charlie's beer they sell
So all ye lads and lasses at eleven o'clock ye stop.
For five short seconds, remember Charlie Mopps.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five...

Lord Bless Charlie Mopps the man who invented
Beer, Beer, Beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer
A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick.
The kind of lubrication to make your engines tick.
forty pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence ha-penny, and one and six in tax.
One,
Two,
Three,
