NEW REVIEW: Cabernet delivers a refreshingly thoughtful take on vampire fiction, focusing on the psychological toll of immortality rather than just the power fantasy.
With excellent voice acting (including Brian David Gilbert!), meaningful choices, and Victorian atmosphere thick enough to cut with fangs, it's a standout in narrative gaming.
4/5 Waffles - Worth sinking your teeth into.

My latest gaming review dives into the chaotic kitchen of Cook Serve Delicious 2, where rebuilding your restaurant empire requires the reflexes of a ninja and the patience of a saint. From perfectly timed pretzel flips to inexplicably cleaning toilets mid-service, this game serves stress with a side of satisfaction.

My deep dive into CONTROL is now live! Spent hours exploring the shifting halls of the Oldest House as Jesse Faden, the reluctant Director fighting an interdimensional invasion with telekinetic powers and a shape-shifting weapon.
Remedy Entertainment has created something truly special - a blend of supernatural action, conspiracy theories, and brutalist architecture gone mad.

Just published my review of Children of Morta, a gorgeous pixel-art roguelike that puts family first. Combat ancient evil as the Bergson clan in this unique take on the genre. Beautiful visuals, engaging story, and satisfying progression make this one special.

Just spent two hours exploring Chasm, a gorgeous but unforgiving Metroidvania that left me with mixed feelings. Beautiful pixel art and atmospheric music, but combat mechanics might test your patience. Full review breaks down why it earned 2.5/5 waffles!

ひげ @beardalaxy@gameliberty.clubHollow Knight Review (DNF)
This game has great atmosphere and a great soundtrack. The audio of the characters is really charming. I just can't bring myself to keep playing it because it has a lot of padding and is really, really slow. It has a similar issue that I find in the Dark Souls games where you'll wander around for a long time, find a boss, get killed immediately because you don't have any clue what their attack pattern is yet, and then get launched way too far back to the last checkpoint. The core gameplay is really not interesting enough for me to keep engaging with it. I've played tons of metroidvanias and action platformers and this is the only one I've not wanted to continue playing. 7 hours is a pretty honest playtime for me, and there were parts where I did get a little invested, but it's just not enough to keep me playing.
If there were a way for me to unlock all of the abilities and play through the game like that, it might be a bit better. It really seems like a lot of the expanded kit should have been the default moveset and then some extra stuff could be added on top of that. It's hard to blame Team Cherry for this though since this is the first thing they created and it was only by a few people. It's good to start small, but the issue is that the world is so much larger than it has to be for how little options you have for combat and traversal. There is a mismatch there, and it really should have been like half the size or less.
I have no doubt that this is a good game with a lot of appeal, but you really have to understand that this is going to be an extremely slow-burn game with elements of Soulslikes. If you are cool with that, then you'll probably enjoy it. If you're not, you probably won't. For that crowd, I would recommend something more like Axiom Verge or Touhou Luna Nights as far as Steam games go. Metroid Dread/Super Metroid/Metroid Fusion, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are much better picks for the kind of gamer I am and that you may very well be too.
I have no intention on returning to continue playing the game, but it may very well happen down the line. I have heard stories of people putting the game down and then coming back later and really enjoying it after that. Even my roommate, who wanted me to play the game as it is his favorite, did that. So, who knows.
ひげ @beardalaxy@gameliberty.clubScarlet Maiden Review (7/10)
This is a Rogue Legacy clone with ero game elements, and minus the whole feature of unique character traits refreshing upon every death.
It originally intrigued me because of the art style and the fact that it is an ero game, but upon looking at the gameplay footage and reading the reviews I got way more intrigued by how close it looked to Rogue Legacy, which is one of my favorite games.
It doesn't do anything special, not even in the erotic department, but the core gameplay was still very fun.
I completely stopped caring about any of the erotic stuff after only playing about an hour. Some things are copy-pasted and others are just a little bland. There are a few interesting animations but they don't last long enough and aren't varied enough to get your rocks off too. They are the equivalent of little emoji animations you'd see on a forum years ago or something. Not bad but they definitely didn't feel like the core of the game to me, despite that being its gimmick. You know what, though? I don't really mind, the game was still really fun and would have been fun with or without the ero stuff.
It's not one I'll ever go back to, since I'd sooner just go back and play Rogue Legacy 2, but it definitely filled that void while offering something just different enough that I didn't feel like I was replaying the old game again. It took me about 16 hours to complete which isn't too shabby considering I think I only paid like $6 for it.
I want to share with you my #notpublicopinion #несуспільнадумка on Season: A Letter to the Future game. It is really interesting and I think important game for the industry of violence-driven games. But go by the link, and sign up if you are interested in regular but not too often indie games review drops!

@moi@p.moi.cxThe game is great, I really enjoyed it
I didn't expect to enjoy it that much since I bought it for the meme more than anything without expecting much, but I really liked the story of the yandere sister who loves her brother very much, it's very cute. What is also cute is the art, I really was fond of it.
The only downside is that the game is not fully out yet, and apparently the game will have 4 episodes in total. They said episode 3 will come out in 2024 on their steam dev blog
Regardless of the game not being fully finished, I still think it's worth the price since it's only around 10 USD. If you don't want to pay for it, I would still suggest trying the demo out which is available on their website https://nemlei.itch.io/the-coffin-of-andy-and-leyley
4/5 - Very cute cannibal romance
