Even for a silly, goofy game that isn't meant to be taken seriously, this game still fails miserably. The art style is nice, but that's probably its only redeeming quality. Not worth the $$$, and I even bought it on sale.

A pretty decent point and click. A short story told in four acts. Acts 1, 2, and the beginning of 3 are very strong story wise, but the end of act 3 and all of act 4 is really weird and doesn't make much sense even after replaying it a few times. Both endings are pretty meh and even the "good" ending is pretty unsatisfying.

The story was decent and it had a really good cast of both new and returning characters. However, the beginning had WAY too much filler. This isn't including sub stories. Just in the main story missions at the beginning, the was a lot of unnecessary moments. The random encounters were horrible. They didn't show up on the mini map, so you couldn't avoid them. They didn't have unique character models, so you weren't able to spot them until they were already on you. And there was dialogue before every encounter, which was a minor inconvenience at first, but gradually got more and more annoying as the game went on. Also, the ending was completely ruined for me when they tried to pull a similar stunt was used in the ending of the second game. Honestly, not a terrible game, but they definitely dropped the ball in a few places.
An incredibly fun puzzle game that makes you think in more ways than one! I found myself having a great time throughout this entire game, even during incredibly difficult trials. The story of the game was also incredibly interesting as well! Highly recommend!

An absolutely fantastic visual novel! this game has amazing characters, a good blend of serious and silly moments, and hilarious jokes that poke fun at classic RPG tropes and video game logic. Great game, highly recommend.

An incredibly interesting game. I was wary at first due to the short run time, but it proved to quite an enjoyable experience.

This game was absolutely fantastic! A huge step up from the previous entry! Like any game, it has its faults, but they're few and do not ruin the experience of the game. If you played Yakuza 3 and wondered if the series gets better, it most definitely does!
An absolutely phenomenal game! I struggle to think of anything negative I could possibly say about it. This game receives an enormous amount of praise and it deserves every little bit of it!

Fantastic music, fantastic art style, fantastic characters and well written storylines. The sudden plot twist at the end kind of came out of nowhere, but still an overall really enjoyable experience.
2019
An absolutely phenomenal game. I've never been that interested in Souls-style games. I've always played singleplayer games more for story rather than the challenge of the game. However, Code Vein peaked my interest, and I'm am so glad I gave it a chance. It offers challenges that are fun to complete, rather than a tiresome task to overcome. It has a fantastic cast of characters and an interesting world to explore and learn about. It's a game that I feel both hardcore Souls-borne fans can enjoy, as well as more casual players such as myself.

An enjoyable entry in the Yakuza series. I'd say it ranks right in the middle of it's predecessors. The side stories were a nice addition. However, the plot got really messy, especially towards the end. By the time I had gotten to the final fight, I had pretty much forgotten what the actual conflict was. I also did not like Shinada at all. Really annoying character that was barely relevant to the actual story.
I slept on this game for six years because I don't know anything about the Borderlands universe, and therefore, thought that this wouldn't be a game I'd enjoy. I was incredibly mistaken. This game was absolutely phenomenal! This game was non-stop laughs and good times with a few really well done emotional moments sprinkled throughout. This game also boasts stellar characters with a top tier voice cast to match, as well as an amazing soundtrack. This is easily one of the best games Telltale ever made. If you're a fan of episodic, choice-based games but you've been avoiding this one simply because you don't know anything about Borderlands, then do yourself a favor, and give it shot. You won't regret it.

It's your standard high school romance visual novel, but it's definitely one of the better ones out there. There were some moments and scenarios that I didn't like, but many more that I loved. Really great overall.

A very interesting shift in the series. A few moments that didn't really feel right, even for Unlimited's setting, but overall really enjoyable. Definitely has me excited for Alternative.

Pretty good for the most part. I actually really enjoyed how the QTEs worked in this game. It was fun and added an actual sense of difficulty to the game. The story was decent for most of the game, but it got really messy towards the end. They started adding more and more to the story without any real explanation as to why all these extra parts are being added.
2018
A pretty meh game. Combat was a bit wonky, didn't really dislike it, but didn't enjoy it either. The characters were pretty bland. The story left me with a lot of questions, probably in the hopes of gaining interest in the upcoming sequel. Not interested.
