Starting a new thread of games I completed in 2025, to be reshared each time I complete a new one.

While it was a unique gaming experience, it sadly failed to vibe with me.
Impressions:
+Beautiful, charming game with a unique art style
+Great sense of discovery and exploration
+Good selection of accessibility options that make the finicky combat gameplay more bearable
-Not very intuitive
-Combat and hidden puzzles are very difficult and time-consuming without guides or without using accessibility options
Overall rating: 6/10
Impressions:
+Cinematic execution of an intriguing story line employing lots of cool fantasy / alternate history elements and great acting.
+Visually still stunning, with its atmospheric steampunk setting and detailed character models.
+Combat sequences are well-executed and kept me engaged throughout.
+Soundtrack is fantastic.
-Levels are very linear.
-Game ends quite abruptly.
Overall rating: 8/10
Impressions:
+Really enjoyable combat and traversal through the open world. +Good music.
+The story DLC is short and sweet
-Main story is uninteresting: I was never able to emotionally connect with the main character or her motivations.
-World seems empty with no NPCs to interact with.
-Obnoxious amounts of collectables.
Overall rating: 6/10
