AcidPhosphorus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Escape from Silent Hill]

So now we know what happened to Deimos

[Newgrounds Rumble]

This was one of the first Newgrounds games I have ever played. I found out about this through Salad Fingers actually, and if only 11 year old me spent more time on this website during those days. But I'm glad that someone found a way for people like me to play this when the NG player just isn't working.

[Pico's School: Love Conquers All]

I mean, it's alright but it's a little too soft for my tastes. Like, the world is already way too focused on making things "lighter" and more "friendly", and Newgrounds was (well maybe it still is if you look far enough) the sole exception. People make fun of "dark" and edgy" shit even though some people unironically like it. So really, yes I know that this is an alternate timeline/universe, but it's not something that I would usually enjoy. I'm more into the early 2000's to mid 2010's style content, something that defines Newgrounds and it's iconic characters.
Other than that though, I do like the character development of the other Goth kids, it definitely makes them look like less of caricatures of the stereotypical school shooter stereotypes and more like actual characters. And one other thing, I may sound offensive but bear with me.
I dunno, sure Tom Fulp kinda ships em' but this does seem a little like it's pandering to Friday Night Funkin' and it's fanbase for being one of the only things to make Newgrounds and Pico relevant again. Like we get it, the FNF fandom (like most other fandoms) has to have at least one obligatory yaoi ship, but the main problem (for me at least) is that ships usually ruin most things for me. Seriously, it doesn't matter what kind of ship, but I'm not into that type of stuff.

Sorry for the long-ass tangent, but long story short; It's okay if you're not a fan of the aesthetic and aspects of the original Pico's School or if you like both, but if you're more of a classic Pico fan then I don't really recommend this. TLDR; It's meh.

[I woke up next to you again.]

This is really good! I like the interesting visual novel-esque gameplay it is simple, and while it is not super intricate, it's not supposed to be. The artstyle is amazing though, both the guy, the girl and the best friend are drawn wonderfully. The music is very haunting yet beautiful (it reminds me of an indie RPG called OFF by the way but that's besides the point). But the symbolism and themes regarding addiction to a person is very deep. Although I would prefer a bit of a faster skipping option in dialogue.
