Jorel's Brother and the Eastern Exorcist

Two games with non-English origins.

Jorel's Brother and the Most Important Game in the Galaxy

This point and click adventure is based on a Brazilian cartoon called "Jorel's Brother", who is the protagonist here and in the show apparently. See Jorel is the most fantastic guy in town and basically the chosen one so its no fun to play him - instead you are his wimpy little brother who has no name of his own.

The art style gets some getting used to, and the logic to solve some puzzles is annoying due to having to do the same action multiple times to progress (and you don't realize its progressing) but luckily the hint radio is very useful. That said I really got into it and finished the game in one weekend sitting and am now somewhat interested in seeing the series that it spawned from - if I can find a subbed or dubbed version of it anyway.

Eastern Exorcist

This Chinese side scrawling action RPG is an excellent one, with decent graphics, easy controls, some excellent design decisions (like putting teleport spots to save time and giving infinite dash to let you traverse places fast), interesting plots and a very wide array of enemies (mooks and bosses) to contend with. Combo attack timings aren't super difficult to execute, though some chains are simply more useful than others. Same with how there are many things that can be leveled up but in reality you'll likely be using just the most useful ones repeatedly. I really enjoyed this one.
