Served like a dessert too small to be enjoyed, NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD: Typing of The Net has the size of a demo and the quality of a pointless spin-off.

NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD is fascinating to talk about. It has a discourse that addresses the times we live in, of course, this can be said about many modern stories, but rarely in a way that brings the player closer to someone who suffers the consequences of what for them may be something superfluous. A story that takes advantage of the fact that it is an interactive medium to become something different. At other times, the player can simply put themselves in Ame's shoes and want her to interact with the digital world in a healthy way.

STAR WARS: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles has its place as a simple, arcade game where mindlessly pressing buttons and accumulating points against low-intelligence enemies is what a Star Wars fan wants to do for a day, maybe even two, given the long length of the levels, which are 14 in total. If you have a friend who is a fan of the franchise, getting together, buying some drinks of your choice, and talking about Star Wars for five hours might be a good way to get the most out of the game, but otherwise, it won't be at the top of the list of Star Wars games for the Switch.

If you're a Goblin Slayer fan, this is one of those cases where it may be worth your time as a fan, but I recommend waiting for a sale, as, despite offering enough time for an RPG, there are better games in offer. If you're not a Goblin Slayer fan, just ignore it and find better SRPGs in the market.

Victory Heat Rally is an addicting racing game that takes you back to the 32-bit era of games, while also providing its unique spin, with its amazing soundtrack and gameplay loop. While I would've loved to see more, such as an online mode, and a more varied character roster, those are minor issues that don't hurt the experience overall.

I genuinely have very little complaints about TSUKIHIME -A piece of blue glass moon-. It is the ideal remake of a story that contains dated elements, but still had the potential to become one of Type-Moon's classics, with the ability to share space with its more popular brother. The game not only proves this, but puts on a great show, leveraging the expected quality of games from this genre with a similar budget, almost breaking the barrier between a visual novel and an anime, to the point where part of me feels that an anime adaptation would not do justice to the animations present in this game, although a Tsukihime anime would be cool. Too bad it never had one.

6 / 10.0 - Shanghai Summer
Feb 9, 2024

Shanghai Summer had enough ingredients to be a memorable story but failed to do so. Sprites were pleasant at first glance but were not properly used, and the elements external to the main story end up being forgettable. Combine this with the game's bad grammar, lack of cohesion, and layout issues, and the final result is a bad structure that failed to suport the game's best element: the story.
