Silent Hill: Townfall Review

Rolled credits on Silent Hill: Townfall, and overall, I had a fun time with it. The atmosphere is one of the strongest aspects of the game. The puzzles, The environments, sound design, and overall presentation do a good job of creating that unsettling Silent Hill feeling, and there are some moments where the game genuinely gets under your skin. The story is also one of the better parts. It’s interesting, and does a good job of giving you something to think about as you progress. That said, the horror element unfortunately loses some of its impact fairly quickly. Once you realize that most of the enemies are just obstacles standing between you and the next puzzle, they become more awful than terrifying. The constant backtracking through areas with enemies can get frustrating, and the stealth mechanics often feel more terrible than engaging. At times, Townfall feels more like a puzzle-focused adventure with horror elements rather than a full-on survival horror experience. The lack of enemy variety is noticeable, the enemy designs can feel underwhelming, and I wish there had been more memorable encounters and boss fights. Still, I enjoyed the overall experience. The atmosphere, puzzle and story carry a lot of the game, and there’s enough here for Silent Hill fans to appreciate. I’d definitely recommend checking it out on a sale. Game is far from perfect, but worth experiencing if you’re a Silent Hill fan!

Pragmata Review

Finished Pragmata and I can honestly say it left a strong impression on me. From start to finish, the game delivers something that feels genuinely fresh, especially with how it blends action and strategy through the combat system. The moment-to-moment gameplay never felt repetitive, largely because of how engaging Diana’s hacking abilities are. It’s not just a simple gimmick, it’s integrated into the flow of combat, constantly pushing you to think, adapt, and approach encounters differently. That combination of shooting and real-time hacking creates a rhythm that feels unique, and once it clicks, it becomes incredibly satisfying. What really stood out to me is how addictive the gameplay loop is. There’s always this pull to keep going, clear one area, experiment with different hacking paths, optimize your approach, and then jump into the next encounter with a better understanding of the mechanics. It rewards both quick thinking and planning ahead, which keeps things truly exciting even ...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond review

Finished Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and I have extremely mixed feelings about the game. I liked the art direction, boss fights and OST plus all the upgrades and abilities. An overall a pretty mediocre experience with some odd design choices with unsatisfying and predictable story

Ariana and the Elder Codex Review

Finished Ariana and the Elder Codex, and it was an enjoyable experience. The adventure shines thanks to magic system and beautiful storybook-style presentation. The combat is where the game stands out, experimenting with the all elemental skills adds an amount of depth. Mixing and matching elements keeps battles fresh and pushes you to adapt your strategy instead of relying on one approach. And the boss fights are amazing, each one feeling like a test of everything you’ve learned with mechanics. It also works well as a Metroidvania, with exploration, backtracking, and ability upgrades that open up new paths and secrets across the map. Discovering new areas and unlocking the world adds another layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. There are a few hiccups here and there, but nothing major enough to drag the experience down. In the end, it’s a fun, charming, and memorable journey that’s definitely worth it!
