There is no way a movie with this concept would be good, but I gotta praise that this movie isn’t afraid of being weird, and went in a totally different direction than I expected a bad horror-ish movie to go.

I remember loving this book when I was a pre-teen so perhaps this rating is a bit unfair. I was looking for some light reading before bed and landed on this one, but I guess the humor doesn’t work on me anymore. Some good quotes here and there, but most of it felt like an adult’s attempt at saying things kids would find funny. It probably works for a lot of people but I think I outgrew this specific kind of silliness (but not silliness altogether, mind you).

I read the pt-BR version, if that matters.

Hard to review this one. On one hand, it’s one of the best (if not the best) stories and set of characters I’ve ever seen in a video game. Not only that, it’s something only a game can offer: it was my story, I always felt like my choices mattered and saw them affecting the world and characters in some way.

On the other hand, I didn’t enjoy much of the rest. My playthrough lasted 99h, and by hour 30 I was already tired of combat and exploration and couldn’t wait for it to end. I ended up lowering the difficulty so I could just get combat over ASAP and get back to the story bits which was the only thing I cared about.

We didn't have a tight plan, just a list of towns and surnames, but that was more than enough for a good time.
