Game Review | SWITCH | Hollow Knight

This game is a Metroidvania 2D action adventure genre that a nameless knight explores the underground world and figure out the secrets of the ancient insect kingdom that suffered a disaster. Hollow Knight is a famous and successful game since its release on PC. So, I just bought it immediately when it was released on Nintendo Switch. I didn’t have to hesitate to buy it because even it contains all DLC. Personally, I have more fun to play a portable mode than docked mode of switch and, I had thought that it was perfect. I think that graphic concept can be divided into the likes and dislike according to people. And, personally, I didn’t prefer the graphic style that cute characters appeared in the dark world view. But, What I felt when I played the game was that the world view and characters were designed to match each other exquisitely.

Game Review | PS4 | Persona 5

This game is a JRPG [*] genre in which a protagonist’s party called “The Phantom Thieves of Hearts” infiltrates into a corrupt adults Palace [1] and steals their Treasure [2] and reforms [3] them.

According to persona theory, it is said that a person has various mask-like appearance by external influences. And, it said that there is a real figure of oneself that can not know themselves. That's why I think the world view is pretty sensible.

Game Review | PC | Hyper Light Drifter

This game is a 2D action adventure genre that a drifter hero goes on adventures to the world that have been destroyed by Giant Soldiers. I was most impressed with the world of beautiful colors and a concise combat system, and it was interesting. The world reminded me of the Ghibli's the Castle in the Sky. And, I also came up with Gainax’s Neon Genesis Evangelion because of the design and color of the Giant Soldiers. In the intro, the world was destroyed by the Giant Soldiers.

It even expresses all dialogues of NPC as images. So, player has to guess and interpret the story oneself. It has to gather and gather such pieces and understand t
