Kicked the water, barn popped out of bubbles. Built a bridge, fell, turned into frog, wife digs it. Now nightly croon country quacks. Eight lilypads out of ten, dive in smiling!

Well, it's 2026, and apparently the only fix for a game-breaking bug reported TEN FREAKIN' YEARS AGO, hours into the game, is to restart the entire game from the start. So yeah, don't buy it unless you enjoy frustration and rage. What an absolute waste of time. Bug = there's a chest that has two locks. You put in the keys, aaand then you can't select it to open it, because the place where you click to back out of that area apparently overlays that same place. Changing the cursor to 'system cursor' didn't fix it, and I'll be fkd sideways before I start a game again from the start because a developer can't be bothered to fix a bug that was reported ten years ago.

Recommended Jan 18, 2026
Great atmosphere, lots of locations to explore and plenty of puzzles to solve. Chasing a mysterious kidnapper though an abandoned boarding school next to a lake is always a good setting. I also really liked the music and sound effects, they added to the creepy vibe without taking you out of the game. My only complaint is that some translations in the hidden object games are rough, but thankfully hints refresh after a minute or two in case you get stuck. The rest of the dialogue/text/journals do not have any translation issues, it was only a few spots in the minigames.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
