Preface#

Entertainment is the activity that takes up the most time in my year, so writing a single article about it shouldn't be too much to ask.
What I call an entertainment review is actually a large-scale recommendation event for the year. If you can find works you like in this article, that would be great.

Games#

Single Player#

• Superliminal

  A rare good work, I beg you to play it. 😭
  

• Black Myth: Wukong

  The combat system is great, and the story has depth; a milestone work!
  

• Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Remastered

  The gameplay and narrative are intricately combined, the process is refined, with no redundancy, and it’s a highly complete suspense work.
  

• Neva

  A new work from the GRIS team, the visuals are as clean and beautiful as ever, and the combat system is surprisingly good.
  

• Bookwalker

• Stardew Valley

• Palworld

My Game of the Year#

Superliminal

Too much summarization would ruin the initial experience of this game. If the promotional video below piques your interest, trust me, play it; it’s definitely a good game.

ADV#

• Worst☆Contact - Shinigami Kanojo to Uchuujin

  A nonsensical comedy that resonates with me.
  

• Spring Limited Poco·A·Poco

  A regrettable work; the exploration of the meaning of survival in the cherry blossom line undoubtedly creates an excellent narrative atmosphere, but it only scratches the surface.
  This music-themed work has really good music. Moreover, the depiction of music is vivid, which is quite rare. (Featuring Hua)
  

• MEAT-GRINDER Demo

  A unique and eccentric style. The UI, visuals, dialogue, and narrative all exude a sense of madness; looking forward to the official version.
  

• A Colorful World

  If you can tolerate the long and tedious snowman language and illogical personal routes, this game is still worth playing; the character of Akane is very charming.
  

• NUKITASHI 2

  Daily fun, the plot is not dragged out, and the combat descriptions are exhilarating; a benchmark for recent years in gal games.
  

• Him, Her, and Her Loyalty

  A small piece, with a great atmosphere and good writing.
  

• FureRaba - Friend to Lover

  The sweetest romance work, bar none; every route is very sweet, and the male lead is quite likable.
  

• Spiritual Vision File 23: The Seven Wonders of the Main Office

  A great suspense thriller, the plot tree system is very creative; don’t play it at midnight, it’s really scary. 😱
  

• Golden Melody Quartet

  The best daily writing among all the gal games I’ve played, and the best TE writing among all the moe games I’ve played.
  

• The Shepherd of the Great Library

  Daily light-hearted and fun, with many good and dense performances; every time I enter the library department, it feels like stepping onto a stage for a comedic dialogue. (Featuring Hua's comedic dialogue)
  

• Monkeys!¡

  Cross-dressing infiltration, comic performances, well-produced, and the male lead is quite likable (Hua).
  

• Nora and the Princess and the Stray Cat's Heart

  Featuring Hua.
  

• Nora and the Princess and the Stray Cat's Heart 2

  Featuring Hua.
  

• LOVESICK PUPPIES - Born for Love

  Featuring Hua.

  Better off not being released.

• Golden Melody Quartet - Golden Time

• Aperilia of the Sea of Scenery - Knight of Casablanca

• Sakura-colored Clouds＊Crimson Love

My ADV of the Year#

Worst☆Contact - Shinigami Kanojo to Uchuujin

A nonsensical electric wave comedy, the process is very short, and the overall atmosphere is fantastic; the text, visuals, and music blend seamlessly, almost instantly transporting me into the world of the story.
There’s no dramatic plot; only the summer of reality and non-existent characters. Every time I think back, I feel the warmth of the corpse.

Multiplayer#

• Beast Party
• Star Engine Party
• Deadlock

Rewatch#

  A work that vividly depicts the journey.

  Still the same flavor; it remains my favorite isekai anime.
  

• GIRLS BAND CRY

  The first 3D anime I watched, the live performance is very exciting.
  

• Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2

  Where's my budget? But it's still very good.
  

• The Jellyfish at Night Can't Swim

• Summer

• Too Many Failures in Love!

  A unique perspective on a romantic comedy, with a well-crafted atmosphere.
  

• Oshi no Ko Season 2

• Fall

• Cute Slime Puniru

  Puniru is cute, and the plot seems to be adult-oriented, not for children.
  

• Supernatural Armed Dandadan

• Supplement

• League of Legends: Arcane Season 1

• League of Legends: Arcane Season 2

• Urusei Yatsura 2022

• Space Dandy

My Anime of the Year#

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

A work that vividly depicts the journey, meeting along the way, parting along the way, and setting off again to understand others.
Whether measured by land or time, the stories between people on the journey are narrated naturally, vividly, and authentically, as if those stories are on that stretch of road on the map.

Movies#

  A very romantic work.
  

• Donkey Gets Water

My Movie of the Year#

Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department

Tells a true cosmic fantasy story using a documentary style.
Like a modern poem with its ups and downs, someone can always find meaning in a certain line.

He knows when to go, it’s when the lion is covered in sparrows.

Conclusion#

I haven't written a blog for half a year; writing this has been a bit clumsy, but it serves as insurance for my weak memory. If I forget in the future, it would be nice to use this entertainment review to find myself. 🤗
