Vexx was one of the few games I figured how to play without knowing English and being so young, I was probably five when I had the chance to play and it was so interesting the sounds, the style, the day and night cycle, the portals, the powers everything sounded so unique and fun to play! It was sad to grow up and discover it was labeled as a "Mario rip-off". It was one of my favorites at the time for sure!

I remember playing this game back in my childhood, it was one of my favourite games on the PS2, Vexx is a truly unique 3D platforming game that presents a great amount of challenge, in my opinion, its what you get if you combined Super Mario 64 and dark souls together, I love almost everything from this game from the story, worlds, creatures and the game mechanics. This game has a truly special place in my heart, as I get older, I revisit this game only having joy and appreciation that a game like this was made and I got to grow up with it in my happiest moments of life.

The Lost Vikings
The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay. The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings. In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available. Character abilities: All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities: Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet. Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance. Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.
