The art style has a cute and colorful aesthetic with an anime vibe. The music is very relaxing, and it picks up as your street gets busier. The gameplay is very simple, and it doesn’t ever feel like you’re pressed for time. It’s very impressive—considering the game was only made in 6 months.
This game is very easy to get through, but I do think it’s intended for younger audiences; it’s a great game to play with young children. That being said, I also think a lot of adults will enjoy it or find it relaxing, too.
Overall, Nikoderiko: The Magical World is a delightful game that anyone who loves platformers classics such as Donkey Kong Country or Crash Bandicoot would enjoy. While it doesn’t seem to add anything new to the table, each level feels fresh, adding extra mechanics that are introduced as you explore the world.
Although Stars In The Trash is only a little over an hour long, I absolutely loved it. The only downside to this game is that I wanted more of it; I'm sure I’ll go back and get the remaining achievements soon. Thankfully, the menu has the option to select previous chapters, making it easy to go back and get whatever it is that you’ve missed.
Overall, [Duck Detective: The Secret Salami] is a short game with a runtime of only about three hours, but it’s a fun experience. If you’re a fan of detective-style games like Case of the Golden Idol but want something a little more charming and light-hearted, I’d suggest giving this game a try.
Overall, I had a good time with Life is Strange: Double Exposure—it was really nice to play as Max Caulfield again. However, Life is Strange has always been extremely heavy on an emotional level, yet this game didn’t have any parts that really hit me as hard as previous entries did. As much as I love Max and wanted to play as her again, there were times when I didn’t feel like it was necessary and thought it should’ve been left alone. That being said, it’s still a good game, and if you’re a fan of the Life is Strange series, I still think it’s worth playing through. It’s also important to note that you should stay after the credits, as there’s a little bit more to add.
