El inocente (2021)
The series is called Innocence, but is definitely not innocent
The series is called Innocence, but is definitely not innocent - there is a lot of brutality and violence all the time. In the first few parts, the creators bring us a great mysterious thriller, which then changes the genre a bit into a crime drama, which surprisingly benefits it. The plot is sometimes predictable, but you are guaranteed to be surprised by some reveals. This short miniseries definitely deserves your attention. 8/10.
NieR: Automata (2017)
I don't like anime but this game is worth a try
From the very beginning, the game enchanted me with its soundtrack, which is much different from what I'm used to from other games. It happened to me several times in Nier that I stopped and just listened to the ingenious soundtrack, which is so indescribably good.
Hack & Slash combat game really benefits to the game. After a while, combat might start to seem repetitive, but the creators always pull out an epic boss fight to fix it.
Although I've only been praising here so far, there are many negatives. For example, at the start we have the option to save after about an hour, which is quite annoying. It's also a shame that most quests are fetch quests, so it's still one same type. I was quite disappointed by the part where 2B died of an infection and her "death march" was perhaps the most frustrating part of the game, so there were almost no emotions besides frustration.
But not to mention just such little things, I don't understand who thought that to unlock the best X hours of the game it is necessary to go through the first ~15 hours again (yes, some events that happen as 9S are important, but still it could have taken place from the beginning for two characters, so that the story kept the tension going).
Overall, I'm glad I played to Nier, and despite a lot of imperfections, I was able to enjoy the game properly.
Positives: Soundtrack !!!, story, epic boss fighty, fun combat (even with ordinary enemies)
Negatives: Lots of fetch quests, to unlock the best part of the game you need to play for about 15 hours again.
Dark (2017)
This show is a masterpiece!
Dark is a really great series, which I would compare to the completion of The Witcher 3 - once you finish the story, you will never find something that is at least a bit like the quality of it.
The plot continues to surprise you. The series has excellent casting, so older versions of the characters are similar to the younger ones. Scenes with music and a great atmosphere at the end of the episodes are a pure masterpiece.
When watching, you just sometimes have to plug in all the brain cells and "think four-dimensionally". The only disadvantage I see is that the first two episodes are average and not as good as the rest.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (2017)
This review only contains spoilers of the locations
Hellblade is a truly unconventional game that is guaranteed to evoke emotions in you. As a lover of Nordic culture, I enjoyed the game even more than anyone else.
Most games have a good soundtrack, but the music that plays at the end of this game (either in Hel or in the subtitles) is almost unbeatable.
My only complaint is the riddles, which started to be quite repetitive after a while. You can currently get the game for a few bucks, so don't hesitate and buy.
Pros: Graphics, story, soundtrack, main character is interesting, combat
Cons: After a while, the puzzles become repetitive.
Alan Wake (2010)
As a big fan of mysterious series, I couldn't miss this piece.
Alan Wake's Story didn't disappoint me. It was exciting from start to finish and I was always looking forward to learn the next part of Alan's story.
The game is sometimes slightly horrorish, but Alan Wake does not rely on cheap jump scares, as we can see in other horror games, but on a great atmosphere that will make you afraid to take a step without light.
The soundtrack is great and the songs at the end of the episodes are always amazing. Combat in this game is quite unconventional - first you have to drive the darkness out of the enemies so that you can then destroy them in the normal way.
I enjoyed Combat mainly because of the great atmosphere, but I had a major problem with its repetition. Alan fights the same arsenal of weapons, which are quite few, all the time, and fights the same enemies. I would certainly welcome less combats, because it would not get so easily bored.
The control seemed pretty unnatural to me at first, but eventually I got used to it. Then I had a problem with the checkpoints, which are arranged really stupidly. It's just that as soon as there's a mini-game in the game (usually it's about clicking at the right time), the game is saved just before it, and if you die in a while, you have to do the mini-game again.
Overall, I'm happy with the game and Alan Wake is further proof that games can have a better story than current movies/TV shows.
Positives: Story, atmosphere, soundtrack, nice graphics even ten years after the release
Negatives: Unnatural control, misplaced checkpoints, repetitive combat.
A Plague Tale: Innocence (2019)
What an amazing game!
The first time I launched A Plague Tale: Innocence it engulfed me. I would compare the experience to a dark Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
The environment of medieval and Black Death-ravaged France, where the game takes place, is shown really well. From the beginning you can feel the gloomy atmosphere and from some scenery there is a chill running down your back.
Among other things, the game won me over with its characters, who will experience a lot. In terms of story, it's nothing revolutionary, but thanks to the characters, you're guaranteed to be interested in the story. I would see another positive in the soundtrack, which is not for normal listening, but always fits into the given situation.
Plague Tale suffers from the classic problem of stealth games - AI is sometimes really stupid (a guard doesn't see a person hidden in grass one meter away), but sometimes he sees through a wall.
The game is definitely not perfect, but it offers a gloomy historical-fantasy world, so if you are a fan of games with a dark atmosphere, I can only recommend it.
Positives: Characters, atmosphere, soundtrack, graphics
Negatives: Artificial intelligence.
The Speed of Time (2020)
It doesn´t make sense, but it does make sense
This short movie is unlike any other movie u saw. If you like time travel TV shows or movies, it is perfect for you.
