It's been so long since I last got invested into a non-narrative game. Reminds me a lot from when I was a kid with my little black DS Lite playing Beat That!

What I love the most is how the game accepts the idea that the cars are toys, so the design (image and sound) works with that line. Has some charm in that

I've been playing this for 6 months. I can't recall the last time I've spent so many hours on a single save of a game. 124 hours on total. It's been a nice and very compelling experience, to spend afternoons after working and recess days playing it, knowing that I could just kill some time on it and that I would have more to look for afterward

Thankfully, there are enough SMT games to keep my unofficial habit of diving into a new JRPG franchise and marathoning it every year going.

I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's surprising how much I could enjoy a social sim with an anime style that had so much cheesy stuff, despite not liking any of it

What an awesome game. The way it was described to me didn't even make me think for a second about how nice and detailed it is. The entire setting is very cozy and warm, like lying down under the sun on a Saturday afternoon.

At first glance, the game may seem to only come down to this: "You are Claire, a blue bird, who needs to climb the peak of the highest mountain in the place to fulfill a family tradition. To fly and climb higher, you need to collect golden feathers. Complete objectives and collect the feathers. The end". The game is too rich to describe just that. The entire complex of islands which the game takes place is alive, the background with characters walking, interacting with you, that are much more than just ordinary open-world game NPCs. They're not just for saying to you “do it. Take that”, they chat with you, and even after you interact with them and complete some goal, they continue to chat with you using new lines. The way it all happens, it seems too natural.

When it comes to open-world triple-A games, A Short Hike slaps so many out there. For example, San Francisco from Watch Dogs

Hike's small map seems much more rich in their small space than San Francisco. The map is full of details and little things that you might even miss if you don't explore enough, like a forgotten tower, a Beachstickball game, a sunhat you get after helping to clean up a coastal island, a fishing minigame, and much more.

Honestly, I could have finished the game sooner, but being there as Claire, I wanted to continue walking around the islands. I wanted to solve the adventurous riddles and find out what was hidden near the traffic lights. I wanted to go after the lucky bandana to help my bunny friend.

The ending is perfect for the game. It might even be a little anticlimactic, but I think the journey was worth it to reach the top of Hawk Peak. Besides, after the end, there are still things to be done around, and characters to talk to.

A detail that I want to emphasize here is the soundtrack. Lively, fun, exciting, all in the right tone. I plan to come back again to this place and explore it more. Definitely one of the best games I have played in 2021 and from all-time
