A top-down bullet hell game with character and item variation. This would have been great in the early 90s arcades.

It's good/meh. Not really for me.

The Elder Scrolls V꞉ Skyrim - (2011 game) image

A somewhat open world semi-rpg action adventure game.

I can see the appeal from back in the day, but it's pretty awkward now. Figuring out a fuckload of mods is mandatory, and even though that community has been going very very strong for a long time it's fucking hard to do so.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this game. Except for the negative things.

I haven't done a proper review, and might bother some time later.

Baldur's Gate 3 - (2023 game) logo 2

Roam around harassing NPCs and accidentally-clicking in combat.

It has some really obvious and fundamental flaws that make it just terrible to cope with. I feel like I have to struggle against its design. The abilities are buckshot across the interface, the inventory is a hot mess, and combat is awkward and unforgiving. The dialog trees are kind of stupid most of the time, and player customization isn't particularly present, which is strange for a roleplaying game. I can only see that this has appeal because there have been no decent AAA games lately, and their variety is absolute shit.

Basically one of those old Flash games where you send units from left to right.

Straightforward and fun! Until you just die for reasons you can't explain!

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It's kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.
