I have barely played the game, got into the first palace, did a few dailies, and experienced the basics of the combat. My main issue with this game is not as much the underwhelming global rewards, but the disgustingly predatory practices it has right from the beginning. On the permanent banner, after your 50 pulls, you get to pick a character (I picked Ann), and when you obtain a 5* character, at the shop appears a good deal of a dupe for that characters and some extra stuff, but there is one catch; only 3 days to buy it, so you better not overthink it too much, buy it right now or you might miss this insane chance to get a good deal! /s
So yeah, after witnessing something that predatory and FOMO inducing, I foresaw in which direction this company intends to lead this gacha, and it seems I wasn't wrong, fewer rewards on global, characters not moving to permanent banner (increasing even more the FOMO), etc. It's a shame, because the game feels like a "Persona 5 part 2" game, aesthetics are good and the music is as always fantastic, but I will not support these predatory practices.

It's a good game, but I wouldn't recommend it, mostly because of how little it offers and the price. It will give you 7 hours of fun before it starts to feel pointless. Once you unlock all the world sizes it kinda loses any meaning to keep playing, maybe some objectives, missions, some variations that would make me keep going would have been nice. It's good, but for 18€ I wouldn't buy it. If you wanna try it, wait until a sale.

It's very hard for me to recommend this game, but after thinking about it, I think I do recommend it. It has a great mystery where near the end being given all the clues it's still very hard to figure out, it was very nicely written. What kills this game from being very good is the terrible writing in some places, mostly the action and comedy scenes, which are really stupid and the plotholes are very poorly patched. If you think you can get past "anime cringe" as how others described it, I'd say give it a try, since the mistery is very well written if we ignore the plotholes and the cringe scenes. I'd rate this game a 6/10, and I'd only get it if it's on sale.

The game starts well at first but after a while it gets very boring and repetitive, every run feels the same without any new mechanics or combos to explore.
I also have a few minor nitpicks with the menus, but my main complaint is that is just feels tedious after a few runs.
I'll keep playing it and see, but it doesn't feel worth the money.

Really addicting game, really fun to make strategies, but a bit RNG heavy. Very recommended anyway, one of my favorite games.

I've played through the first 3 levels only.
The game tries to be Megaman but it fails, the main issue is the poor level design, there is no reason at all to stop and fight the enemies, 80% could be jumped over and continue the stage while collecting fruit until you get to the boss.
Also the game is way too easy, I believe there shouldn't be any health items placed on the level, only the enemies should drop them.
The pixel art is nice and the few tracks I've heard are ok but nothing amazing.

The jumping and item collecting feel a bit satisfying, I guess if you're bored and just like platforming this is an ok buy, but only during sales.

3/10.

Danganronpa 2 is a fantasitc game. Defintetly recommended if you like visual novels and detective games, if you liked the first, you will like this one too.

PROS:

+ Good plot
+ Great character writing
+ Huge soundtrack
+ Lots of variety in gameplay (in the action part)
+ Lots of content in graphics

CONS:

- The PC port is not perfect
- Some cases were way too difficult to figure out
- Most of the action sections are horrible
- Controls and gameplay could be improved a lot

Short guide for starting

- Every weapon and armor you equip, increases your weight. The more you weight, the slower you roll. Keep your equipment always under 70% of weight ratio.
- Start the first game with a Knight equipped with a Life Ring, play until the second boss, maybe in co-op with a friend, and after you've learned how the game works, especially the leveling, start over with a Mercenary and level up your Dexterity, is the best way to not have a hard time later on.
- DO NOT sell weapons or armors. Souls can be farmed, but some weapons/shields, etc. once sold, you can never get them back until you complete the whole game again.
- There are 4 types of "attack strengths", Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith. Level up only one of these, since your weapons will gain more strength with only one of those stats, depending on the weapon.
- Vigor, Endurance, and one of the 4 I mentioned above are the most important stats to level up.
- Do not level up luck, never.

Summary
Dark Souls 3 is a fantastic RPG game. It was the first time for me to play a game like this, and at the beginning I found it to be kinda boring, especially at the second zone where a friend told me to summon him to do it co-op, where the game turns ABSURDLY easy when you do it with a second player. After killing the second boss, I started over and when getting to the second zone (High Wall of Lothric), and seeing how hard it is to play it alone, figuring out about the leveling, weapons and armor combinations, the game started becoming fun.
This game will give you around 60h, so it is definitely worth. Also, it is very replayable, trying the different types of builds (mage, cleric, etc.).

Pros
- Fantastic scenery. This game is very beautiful, and the variety and complexity of the buildings surprises me with every new zone. I've never seen anything like this.
- Good soundtrack. Many epic boss battle themes, great title screen theme too.
- Duration. It took me around 60h to complete, and it is very replayable.
- Challenging difficulty. This game is not easy, requires you to stop and equip you properly to fight an enemy.
- Exploration. There are tons of optional areas, hidden paths, treasures to collect, the world is just SO vast. Probably you will miss a few zones the first time you beat the game, which, together with the DLC's (I guess, I haven't tried them yet), increases the replayability even more.

Cons
- In-game info. Almost no information or explanation, aside from the tutorial messages in the beginning. This game is not forgiving when it comes to learning how to play it, or where to go, it is impossible without stopping all the time to ask friends or read the wiki online. This is the worst aspect of this game, it's not as complex as a strategy game, but it's not simple either, and you need to understand how it works in order to advance.
- Story. For me, the game had 0 story, mainly because it has lore, and not actual story with dialogues and cutscenes. There are a few here and there, but if you don't stop and read every piece of armor, weapon, etc. you won't know what's the game about.
- Absurd enemies/bosses. Some enemies or bosses (like Sulyvahn), are ridiculously hard if you decided to go on a Strength build instead of a Dexterity build for example, due to being too slow, and the enemies too fast (this is, at least, my first impression from my first time beating the game, I might be wrong).
- Crappy PC port. I had many issues. If at the first zones, the game starts to crash, make sure you have your graphics card's drivers updated. Once I did, it stopped crashing. One problem this game has is that the mouse can sometimes leave the game window, if you're playing in a windowed mode, or if you have 2 screens, resulting in enemies killing you because you can't control your character. I'm not sure how this happens, most of the times in the menus, since the mouse is not centered in the camera view, but sometimes even while I'm fighting an enemy, the mouse leaves the window.
The inventory is horrible. You can clearly see this game was made for a console there, every time you will find yourself struggling to get to a section of the inventory due to hovering over the wrong part.

Conclusion
This game is just great, if you do not like it at the beginning, give it a few more tries and you may end up loving it like me. If you want a hard challenging game, this is the game for you. Memes aside, the game is hard, but not THAT hard, excepting a few enemies and bosses which might become a problem depending on your build. Only 2 bosses got me to the point of frustration and desperation, Pontiff Sulyvahn (an estimate of ~50 deaths), and the Lothric Princes (~80 deaths). Do not give up if you find the very first boss too difficult (it took me around 30 deaths), if you can't beat him, look online, read for strategies.

That is all I have to say. May the flames guide thee.

I was not gonna recommend it, but after playing the 3rd game, I changed my mind.

LiEat is 3 mini-RPGs where you control 2 characters, a guy who uses knives and a small dragon girl who has a unique power, eating lies. The game consists in going through a town (which is not very big, consist in 1 to ~5 screens and houses/rooms), talking to people and eat the lies that materialize around them to uncover the truth.

I did not like this game much, but it has its charm. Mostly, I didn't like the game's direction. It had great potential, good artistic skills, and great musical skills.
The art is very confusing. It's close to impossible to tell which character is a guy or a girl, and it's hard to identify their dialogue-sprite with their in-game sprite, the sprites just don't have enough detail. Also, there is a weird drawing around the dialogue-sprite which is confusing, and at the beginning, I thought it was part of the sprite where the character had some weird wings or something.
As for the music, there are sudden changes between dead silence and cheery music in a dark atmosphere. Most of the time the music did not feel quite right.
The thing I liked the most from the game, is the battle theme. At first, you fight small lies which take seconds to defeat, but later in the game, you face a big deformed lie, which takes some time, and that was when for the first time I heard the whole battle theme, and woah, it's a masterpiece. The piano is fantastic, it really gets you pumped up to fight.
I said this game had a lot of potential, mostly because of the following reasons:
Bad directing, too short, and boring gameplay.
The combat is really easy, it's almost impossible to get a game over. You always equip the same items in all 3 games, and there is 0 strategy. I know the game tries to focus mainly on the story, but a more challenging combat would have been nice too.

Something that surprised me, was that the game had animated cutscenes, which look nice, but too short.

As for the story... it was ok, it's a matter of taste, really. I liked the "couple" Efi and Leo, but I wish there was a bit more interaction between them. Leo always seemed way too distant from Efi, which made me kind of sad. I would have enjoyed a bit more "romanticism" or affection between them.
The 3rd game has the best story, in my opinion, that is why I decided to give a recommended vote instead of a non-recommended.

It's very cheap, but I'd suggest to put it on your wishlist and wait for a sale. I'd also suggest to not listen to the soundtrack before you play it (especially the battle theme) since it's great and it's better to hear it while you're inside the story.
