You run into Cozy-chan in the hallway..

 "Hey! Didya beat that game yet?"
"Whaaaat?! C'mon, hurry up already!
"I've been playin' some other games in the meantime, wanna hear about 'em?"

 You decided to hang out with Cozy-chan...

(skip intro)

Welcome to "Free Time"

here's a page for me to put whatever thoughts i might have about a game after playing it!

there'll be no in-depth analysis, fancy writing, or anything like that, that's not really my scene, but i might have a thing or two on mind if a game has left some sort of strong impression
(or left way too little, somehow, tho i'll be trying to not be too negative or ranty, there's enough of that on the internet already)

i've actually tried to do a whole proper games blogging/review thing on a few occasions, but it never really sticks, so this time i've decided to basically just keep it to like, the length of a tweet or two, no pressure
surely, surely this time it'll work???

well... i'll make no promises, lol

2022 Free Time events start here:

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative

"a wild rollercoaster ride, as expected of Uchikoshi's writing, altho it spends so much time setting up plot threads that seem to be meant for a sequel instead, that it kinda distracts from the current plot at hand.."

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
LOOPERS

"despite the involvement of Ryukishi07, the overall structure of the story felt kinda all over the place, but the characters and their interactions were as charming as ever, and the KEY-flavored scenes as heart-tugging as i had hoped"

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

"a fun little musing on what it means to make a continuation of a work like that, with the same clever wit as the original game. admittedly it felt a bit less surprising this time, involving many retreads of the original's paths, but perhaps that is all part of the nature of "sequels" anyway...?"

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

"extremely cute aesthetics in the cutscenes, character design, level visuals, and even the sound effects are adorable, but unfortunately for the gameplay, it suffers from some of the least exciting level design in the series"

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
Lunar Knights

"it's a shame konami only ever made three games in the Boktai franchise"

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
Pokemon Legends: Arceus

"an incredibly refreshing experience (relative to Game Freak's usual fare) that managed to get me excited to catch funny creatures again for the first time in many years"

Cozy-chan tells you about a game called
NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD

"a fascinating concept that teeters on the edge of actually saying something with its simulator mechanics, which even include mental health and general well-being as stats to carefully balance in an Internet Streamer life-style, but avoids being earnest about anything and instead just goes for depression-porn or shock-value endings"

"Ehhhh?? You still haven't beaten that game?!"

You feel like you've lost something important...
