๐ŸŽฎ VIDEO GAMES

Koral ๐Ÿชธ

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

A game made by a solo dev from Barcelona; I admire his work, and he actually came to my uni while I was studying to do a talk, which I really appreciated because it was the only time they talked about solo devs during a 4-year degree in video game production. The game has some easy puzzles, but it's mostly a walking simulator. The art is really beautiful, but I'm not a fan of the genre. Still, it was interesting to play, and it has a lot of love for the ocean.


Lumbearjack ๐Ÿช“

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

There's something about games where you have to destroy everything that's so satisfying for me. Lumbearjack reminded me of Katamari and Donut County; I loved it. A chill, cute little adventure.


Looking for Aliens! ๐Ÿ›ธ

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Where's Wally? inspired games are always welcome, but I feel like this one isn't my favorite. Hidden Folks did a better take, even Hidden Through Time did, in my opinion. But still, it was entertaining.

Megaman Battle Network ๐Ÿ”Œ

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Playing this game made me really nostalgic. The gameplay hasn't aged that well, sadly. So many battles end up being kinda tedious and slow. I recognize I did cheat using the new busted attacks since half of the game; I wanted to finish the story and collect cards without taking that much time battling. Also, no autosave... And still, that batteries level was hell, lmao. Character design is still really top-notch, though.


Megaman Battle Network 2 ๐Ÿข

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

It starts fine, but things like the ice thing in the net were soooo tedious. This game abused going back and forth to places, and it was tiring at moments, especially when you have a virus battle coming up every step... I started normally like with the first one but ended up changing to the boost mode so it was bearable to play. I really like the story and characters of these games, but the gameplay is so repetitive.



Manifest ๐ŸงŠ

Season: 2 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

It's becoming really bad; the writing is lazy and feels unconnected, repetitive, and boring. But I sometimes like shitty shows, so I'm here for it.


Manifest ๐Ÿฆš

Season: 3 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Well... Straight nonsense all season, but I'm here for it.


Manifest ๐ŸŒ‹

Season: 4 / Part: 1 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Okay, I cried so much with the ending. Like, I could see it coming since the chapter started, but it got me really emotional. Maybe this season wasn't as bad, but this show needs to end.


Beef ๐Ÿ›ป

Season: 1 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

This show is so good; I loved it. Maybe I was hoping for more in the last episode, but still, it's pretty original all the time.


Kingdom ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ

Season: 1 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

A lot of people recommended me this show, but I didn't like it that much. It's kinda just zombies placed in old Korea. Felt like there's not really much to it, and it's kinda slow. I'll keep watching because it's short.


Kingdom ๐Ÿชป

Season: 2 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Still kinda slow-paced at some points, and also this season had a little less plot, and it was kinda obvious where things were going. Although when I realized that the doctor is Sun in Sense8, suddenly I was more invested, hahaha. People comparing this show to Game of Thrones and that queen to Cersei... Are we watching the same show?


Bienvenidos a Edรฉn ๐Ÿ“ก

Season: 2 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

The first season was soooo meh but addictive. This one did everything great and took this show to interesting places. I really liked this season and can't wait for the next one. All the haters can just shut up; this season was fire.


La Firma ๐Ÿ›ป

Season: 1 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

Probably the best talent show I've ever watched. Nicki is amazing; I really like her, also Tainy and Rauw are amazing too. The contestants were sooo talented, and I liked that they only sang their own original songs.


Soy Georgina ๐Ÿ’‹

Season: 2 / Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

She wants to be a Kardashian soooo bad, hahaha. It's actually entertaining; I guess there's something amusing about watching rich people being dumber than you.




๐ŸŽจ ANIMATION

The Super Mario Bros. Movie ๐Ÿ„

Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

I loved it! Such a nice tribute to the saga, and the animation is amazing. All the details and everything, I was smiling throughout the entire movie. I hope we get a sequel (with Rosalina, please) and more Nintendo IPs movies like Zelda.



๐ŸŽŒ ANIME

My Hero Academia ๐Ÿฆน

Season: 6 / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†

Well, Boku No Hero has always been mid for me with great animation, but since last season, things started to get really interesting. And this season is the best one; I looooved it. It's soooo good. It got dark and deeper. I can't wait for the finale.



Murder Mystery ๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Okay, my expectations were really low, and it was actually pretty fun. I laughed a lot in some parts. The Glass Onion from Alixpress, unas risotas. Gotta watch the second one now.


Murder Mystery 2 ๐Ÿ’ผ

Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

Such a fun movie, better than the first one in my opinion. I had a great time; I want more comedies like this.


Train to Busan ๐Ÿš†

Platform: Google Play / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

This movie is great. A nice take on a zombie invasion. That kid is so talented, my god.


Hunger ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

Entertaining, but nothing really that special. I don't have a lot to say about it, honestly.


El Cazador โŒš

Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

To be honest, I didn't really like it because it felt too heavy for me. Maybe I prefer dialogues over intense gazes and all that; so much silence is exasperating. Although interesting, I think it falls a bit short. There are too many loose ends, and it's all too open-ended.


Fenรณmenas ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Platform: Netflix / Score: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†

I thought it would be really bad, but hey, it was entertaining. I like the main characters, and although the plot is quite ordinary, it has its moments. It's not a blockbuster, but it's okay for passing the time.
