I wanted this to be part of the Mini Reviews 1 post to have an SNES game there, but I wasn’t able to finish it in time it’s a hard one. Like the other games in that post, I first played U.N. Squadron when I was a kid, around 8 or so I think. Back then I actually played the original Japanese version, which is called Area 88 (エリア88), which was based on a manga and anime of the same name.

During the holiday break I used my Anbernic RG40XXV to play and finish 3 games I had played during my childhood, each one for a different console. It was a little weird playing them on a crisp LED screen, without the CRT TV blurring - they almost felt like different games than the ones I remembered 😂. Read More…
Lufia & The Fortress of Doom is an old school SNES JRPG. It’s grindy, repetitive, and annoying sometimes, but it’s charming in its simplicity. It’s a 16 bit RPG with an 8 bit soul. Read More…
Monotype is a short philosophical/horror visual novel about a virtual pet that’s made real. I don’t even remember when I put it in my Steam library, but I decided to play it as I’m trying to play more instead of buying more games. Read More…
By now you know I love indie games, but I have even more consideration when they’re made by my fellow Brazilian compatriots. Brazil isn’t known as a big game making country, but we do have some gems here. I wouldn’t call Minoria a gem, but it’s a nice game overall. Read More…
This is definitely an odd one. I was intrigued by the game’s propsal as a personality test, and the pretty screenshots in the Steam page convinced me to try it. I love weird games so I knew I’d like this one. Read More…
I think I’ve already said that, but I love short games with a nice narrative. Grimm’s Hollow is a small RPG Maker game that tells a simple and touching story about grief and loss. We follow Lavender, a young girl, as she wakes up in a strange place called Grimm’s Hollow. Read More…
I bought this some months ago captivated by its premise: a weird game where you decide characters’ fates as if in a theater play, with cute, 8-bit aesthetic? Sign me in! Steam reviews were also overwhelmingly positive and it was not expensive. Read More…
I’m at the point in my Steam games library where I can’t remember why I have some games - that’s the case for this one. Maybe I’m just a a sucker for meganekko. Actually, I think it was because I came across this funny Youtube video and decided to see what else the creator had done. Read More…
I’ve finished OMORI recently and enjoyed it a lot. The story and narrative are well developed, and some moments were truly moving. Be wary that it’s a beautiful but also particularly dark and heavy story about the struggle against depression and traumas that can be very real. Read More…
