Public Diary of Videogames

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow 7.3/10 This stealth game is what a small game should be; nothing is stretched out, gameplay is just right, visuals are accurate, but as a whole, it lacks real storytelling agency, the plot is lackluster and generic with flat characters, and the narrative is juvenile and lacks depth. Developed by:  Maze Theory

  Red Matter 2 8.3/10 This game may be a little tiring, and the puzzles are not as polished as they could be, nor as intuitive, but sure is a technical marvel and a huge example of VR as a seroius medium. Developed by:  Vertical Robot

  Hollow Knight: Silksong 9.6/10 The Sequel held up to the expectations. The game is fresh yet familiar, it tries new things and gets creative like an artist should do without the worries of investors or a publisher, The Game is more difficult but it makes you feel more dexterous , some fights that do double damage feel cheap, the exploration is toounforgiving since you have to be almost paranoic to find essencial regions of the game or hidden items, the lore is aliitle clearer than the prevous game but still criptid and burried which is not bad. Developed by:  Team Cherry

  Hades 9.4/10 This game is a masterpiece. Being an indie game, of course, it will not have all the best features due to constraints; however, its narrative, storytelling, and gameplay implementation excel. This game defines what a good game should do when fusing narrative and gameplay, and not having them as two seprate artistic features. Developed by:   Supergiant Games

  Middle-Earth: Shadow of War 8.4/10 This game is amazing and is carried by its nemesis and army mechanics. The game is average in combat but generic. The music feels just right, but not potent. The story is interesting at best, but mostly disconnected and a drag, with awful cinematics. Developed by:  Monolith Productions

Super Mario 3D Land 8.7/10 Mario 3D experimental platformer that made use of 3D in an authentic way. The levels are ridiculously easy and lack challenge but the overall experience is a great and fun ride. Created by:  Shigeru Miyamoto
