🎮 VIDEO GAMES

Solar Ash 👁️

Loved it. Reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus, but with more building up before fighting the huge monsters. Amazing gameplay, art, and soundtrack.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Pizza Possum 🍕

Cute and fun little indie game. It gets a little repetitive, but I liked it.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Super Mario Bros. Wonder 🐘

Stunning, I couldn't stop playing. The art, specially the animations, is incredible. And the gameplay is always fun, and it doesn't get repetitive because of all the variety of new mechanics. Really enjoyed it, maybe it could be longer though.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Dordogne 📓

I'll be honest, I couldn't finish it because I prefer more gameplay focused games. But if you like story games, this one is for you. The art is really beautiful, out of a painting.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

A Tiny Sticker Tale 🫏

Little charming adventure. I really enjoy this cozy type of short games. Cute and relaxing, with an original simple game mechanic.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Mineko's Night Market 🐱

So I've been waiting for this game for years, and it was a total disappointment to me… The art is perfect, and it had a lot of potential, but you need gameplay to have a good game. I really dislike the game design of Mineko's Night Market, it is slow, tedious, and repetitive. So sad because I was hyped for a long time and I couldn't even finish it.

Platform: Nintendo Switch / Score: ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

📺 SHOWS

Only Murders in the Building 🍪

I like this show. I actually feel like it works because it's a weekly show, binging it would be boring. They do a pretty good work, making every character seem like the culprit.

Season: 3 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

The Handmaid's Tale 🍼

I finally watched the last season of this show. I liked this season, but it's getting kinda boring at some points.

Season: 5 / Platform: HBO Max / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

American Horror Stories 👹

While I wait for the last season of AHS to be released here, I decided to finish this one. The majority of the episodes are not so good, but there are a couple of stories I actually like. I take this show as discarded concepts for full AHS seasons, so some are better here than wasting a full season.

Season: 1 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

American Horror Stories 🚒

Much better than the first season, but still some episodes were terrible or boring. The first episode is so so so good, I kinda wish there were more episodes connected to AHS seasons like this, telling the story of some characters.

Season: 2 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

The Fall of the House of Usher 🥃

I read it's from the people that did The Haunting of Hill House and I had to watch it. Amazing, they know how to make American Horror Story better than Ryan Murphy. Loved the cast and all the stories inspired by Allan Poe work.

Season: 1 / Platform: Netflix / Score: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Elite 🧊

Awful but addictive as always.

Season: 7 / Platform: Netflix / Score: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

🎨 ANIMATION

Amphibia 🐌

I'm starting to like the characters a lot. This show has grown in me so much, love it.

Season: 2 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Amphibia 🌕

I'll miss this show.

Season: 3 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★★★☆☆

American Dad 🚗

Not as funny as it used to be, but it still makes me laugh with some jokes, specially Roger.

Season: 17 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Big Mouth 🏫

It was actually a pretty decent season. There are episodes not focused on the main characters that were great, a breath of fresh air honestly. And finally there is some growth in character development.

Season: 7 / Platform: Netflix / Score: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

🎌 ANIME

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War 🪡

These new seasons of Bleah have been in a whole other level, they are sooooooo good.

Season: 2 / Platform: Disney+ / Score: ★★★★★★★★★☆

📺 FILMS

Assassination Classroom: The Graduation 🎓

Cringy and bad, kinda camp.

Platform: Prime Video / Score: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Nowhere 🐳

Unrealistic with too many potholes, but I watched it because I love Anna Castillo and she ate.

Platform: Netflix / Score: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Meg 2: The Trench 🦈

Makes 0 sense all the time, but I expected that from this movie. They focused too much on humans for being a movie about giant sharks.

Platform: HBO Max / Score: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

The Conference 🪓

A slasher movie with funny moments and deaths. Not bad.

Platform: Netflix / Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Kimi 💻

Just average, nothing special with the story.

Platform: HBO Max / Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
