Quick Reviews

Since June 2024, I started writing quick reviews of movies, TV shows and games I’ve watched or played. Here’s every one of them.

This idea and overall review layout were totally stolen from Matt Birchler and his Quick Reviews web app. Check it out if you want to create yours!

This prequel to Lies of P is everything that was good about the base game, but elevated into a 12-hour long campaign of pure awesomeness.

The story, level design, bosses and weapons are just state of the art. The final chapter had my eyes all teared up all the time.

Each chapter even has self-contained small side quests that don’t give much of a challenge but are great pieces of world-building to make Krat an even cooler setting.

Amazing game, probably the best souslike that’s not made by From Software.

Lies of P is a dark retelling of Pinocchio, and the Belle Epoque with Puppets setting really grows on you. At some point it goes bonkers with that and it’s awesome. The Bloodborne inspiration is obvious and very welcome.

The final third of the game suffers from a steep difficulty wall, but doesn’t ruin it. There’s a difficulty setting that can help if a boss gets too difficult.

I know, I know. It’s EA. But I love football and there’s enough good here to let me live the fantasy of a career mode.

The menus are a complete mess and half of them don’t work most of the time, but the gameplay is cool. I’ve founded Polenta FC and have had a blast managing the club.

I’ve played this game on and off since 2021, and surprisingly never stopped to give it a review.

It’s a dream come true, honestly. Space exploration at its finest, exploring worlds is always fun, there’s so much to do and still the best thing to do is nothing. I love just walking around a pretty planet and taking screenshots of the amazing views. Whatever problems it has just fade away in the vastness of space.

I absolutely adore the dialogues, too. So many existential quotes that just hit the right spot.

The idea of this being a “Poker Roguelike”, two things I don’t really like, kept me off the game for a while. Luckily, it being included on Apple Arcade gave me the nudge to try it out. And I’m glad I did!

It’s so easy to start, and hard to stop. Addictive, satisfying, and overall so fun to play.
