While I haven't finished this game, it's a really captivating, surreal, and an unbelievably cool video game. For a reasonable price, it packs a lot of material that might not have huge implications or life changing but is nonetheless so imaginative that you can't help but replay, battle, strategize and exist within the parameters of the world Lindroth creates. I regularly revisit the soundtrack. I love its design. It's use of color. It is a personal favorite that should be on everyone's radar. For fans, developers and everyone in between. Gamers and enthusiasts of art cannot go without recognizing a game which cements itself as an important part of gaming history. It could be a lot more difficult, but the game is really relaxed. Not uncaring, but melancholic, somber and overwhealmingly cool. Suave, Calculated, and Thoughtful. This game blends a lot of what being an older sibling or someone you look up to is like. Or that's what I imagine it to be, at the very least. In any case, this game holds a special place in my heart and if you should stumble upon the opportunity to play it, you will not be let down. It is the ultimate display of creativity in recent memory. Absolutely, hands down.

Arc the Lad III
Arc the Lad IIIThe events of this game take place several years after Elk and Arc faced their ultimate enemy in "Arc the Lad II". You control Alec, a teenager whose entire village was destroyed by an unknown evil - an event that was later called "The Great Disaster". He was saved by a mysterious Hunter. Since then, growing peacefully in a village he was brought to, which was like a new home for the survivors of the Great Disaster, Alec dreams about meeting the Hunter again, and becoming a Hunter himself. Together with his best friend Lutz he tries his luck in nearby towns, receiving small Hunter jobs, until the fate crosses the ways of the two young people with a mysterious organization called the Academy. And there their adventure really begins... The gameplay of this third installment of Arc the Lad series is very similar to that of the predecessor. You fight enemies in turn-based battles, and can move freely on the battlefield, positioning your party members the way you like. You can upgrade your weapons by forging them with special materials, and have a variety of techniques and magic spells at your disposal.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the MoonFragile Dreams takes place after an apocalyptic event that wiped out most of mankind. Young Seto finds a note from his deceased grandfather urging him to travel to the red tower that lights up the night sky. Along the way he finds a young, silver haired girl Ren who drives him to journey through the ruined world in search of companionship. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is an action-adventure game with light RPG elements and a focus on exploring the often desolate surroundings. Players are tasked with navigating the empty environments while fighting ghosts and obtaining items such as sketches and short stories that reveal the last moments of the lives of those lost in the great catastrophe. Seto is guided through a third-person perspective and the flashlight is one of his most important aids. Controlled through the Wii Remote it illuminates dark surroundings to interact with the environment and is needed to solve many puzzles. It can also uncover hidden enemies and often a sound through the mini speaker provides a hint about their location. The Nunchuck is used to walk, sneak around, and crouch. It is possible to go into a first-person perspective to get a better view of the environment. Additional weapons that can be picked up during the course of the game are sticks, an iron pipe, a bow, a hammer, a bamboo sword, and a katana.

Heimdall
HeimdallHeimdall is an action-adventure computer game developed by a team called The 8th Day and published by Core Design. The game is set in the world of Vikings and Norse mythology. Loki steals Odin's sword, Freyr's spear and Thor's hammer, rendering them powerless. They decide to create an infant, the title character (named after the god of the same name), who must bring back the three legendary weapons. The game sees Heimdall and his crew travelling around an archipelago of islands in three different maps: Utgard, Midgard and Asgard. They travel engaging monsters in combat, interacting with the locals, solving puzzles and avoiding traps, a blend of styles somewhat similar to that found in the Legend of Zelda games. The cartoon-style action is viewed in the isometric perspective.
