It probably hit me harder than it should due to my life moment, but Wanderstop was just what I needed.

The game does have pacing issues near the end, but at the same time, in line with the messages in the game, I didn't want it to end. I just wanted to spend a little bit more time in this cozy tea shop with Boro and hear a bit more of his life lessons.

Don't come to Wanderstop expecting a management sim, more like a chill narrative tea shop. If you do so, you'll probably have a great time and, if you're like me, then maybe some life lessons.

Final Fnatasy IX was amazing 25 years ago and after playing it today I feel that the game is still pretty good for today's standards.

It does have a few mechanics that feel dated, namely some combats and animations can be really long and tiring, but fortunately they have introduced some functions to help out, such as 2x speed and ignore monsters.

Honestly, I think it deserves a remaster eventually, but until then do give FF9 a try. It has a very nice and enjoyable story, characters with very relatable conflicts regarding life and death and a charming art style. Do get the mod to improve it though, sadly the PC version lost a lot of the quality that the PS1 had, but the mods can fix that with ease so you may fully appreciate the game.

A pretty good strategy game. It is closer to a RTS like Warcraft than a proper defence game like They Are Billions. Still, it is solid and you'll get a good amount of enjoyment from it.

One thing to note is the campaign. It feels 'off' somehow. It is hard to describe but it suddenly ramps the ending up and then it fizzles out with an ending that doesn't feel like an ending, like there'll be more missions. It sucks really, beause it was kinda fun, but eh, at least the sandbox is still pretty good.
