This was a great continuation from FC. The gameplay in SC is the same as in FC, so I knew what to do with spells and orbment builds, since I know that Crafts aren't favored in the Sky Trilogy. I really liked most if not all of the characters in this game, with the standouts being Estelle, Joshua, and Kevin. Estelle really grew in this game, which was one of things that made FC not all that engaging story wise for me. Joshua is one of, if not my favorite character in this game. I liked him in FC, but his journey in this game from someone who is running away from Estelle, to embracing her was so sweet. Kevin is the new character in this game and he is just amazing. He is both halarious and a badass, he's the biggest reason I am interested in what happens in the next game. The story while it does have pacing problems here and there, Chapter 3 looking at you. It left me itching for more at the end of every chapter. Also the ending of chapter 6 is too cute I can't. If I do have a legitimit critisicm of this game, even with the speed up, I still think that this game can be pretty slow. But Still an amazing game and I am excited to play The 3rd.

This is in the same vein as Pseudoregelia for me, it was good for what it is, but nothing to go insane about. The item abilites were cool, I love using the bubble wand to break some moments. The game was perfectly balanced around what you can do. I will say there was stuff that annoyed me. The Ghost Dog was really annoying to deal with, the spikes would sometimes blend in well with the background that it would be hard to tell what's there and what wasn't, and for waht it is, the $25 asking price is a bit too much. Still fun, but nothing to freak out over or to get right away.

This is a weird game for me. I really like the yakuza series gameplay a good majority of the time, but this one is probably the worst and/or weakest one next to 3. I found Brawler to be unremarkable, Gunner was too simple for my liking and realistically the most overpowered style in the game, Wild Dancer is one I used for half the game, but after that it felt to weak. Sword Fighter was my go to style for the 2nd half of the game, as it is the most well balanced and has the blocking ability. The Bosses in this game were really annoying to deal with. I found them to be bullet sponges that take a long time to deal with. But the biggest problem I have with the Game is the Trooper system. The Trooper System is cool in theory, giving you boost to your stats for a limited time, but the problem is that they are tied to almost everything stat wise and it dosen't help that Health Upgrades give you an atom size increase. But this game isn't all bad, I liked the story a lot in this game with twists and characters I didn't expect, the game is really good looking, they don't show the penis in the bathhouse fight, and the music slaps. Just a game that has more style then substance overall.

Forgot how fun Yakuza 0 was. There is a lot of stuff to do in the game from bowling, baseball, and real estate. The combat is not as in depth as a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, but it does get the job done. I think everyone agrees that Majima's Breaker and Slugger styles are the most fun styles in the game, since one style is a good way to deal with crowds, while the other style is good at boss fights. Kiryu isn't bad in terms of Combat, just that one has the more fun techs then the other. My only problems with this game is that the heat system is not good, I prefer to have my finishers be dectated by my moves then what situation I am in/how much heat I have. It doesn't help that you can lose your heat in one hit. The other major problem is that you can get stun locked by the enemies and it gets really annoying, but this is a great start to Yakuza, there is a reason this game saved the series in the west.

This is one of the worst video games I have ever played. I went into this knowing of it's reputation but by goly it surpased them. The story was so confussing and when it is not confussing it pulls stuff out of it's ass like the twist with the main villain. The gameplay is so fucking boring with you being able to just stand still and shoot. The voice acting is halariously bad. The only redeeming qualities of this game is that the soundtrack is good and the game is one of the best looking PS2 games. Best way to play this game is to start it and look at the opening, that is it. AVOID THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not mad, just dissapointed. This was a game that interested me ever since that first trailer. I am someone who is a firm believer that Princess Peach having her own game would be interesting and that Super Princess Peach is one of the most Underratted Mario Games. So I bought this and played it but by bit and... it is one of the most middling Nintendo Exclusives I've ever played.

Let's start with the positives. The presentation of this game is on point with the whole theater aesthetic that makes it more visually interesting then most other modern Mario Games. The soundtrack is good on the ears and has beriety in terms of instraments. The idea of Peach having her own enemies to fight instead of it being bowser and his minions is one I really like. I also like the fact that in the plays she feels like she's part of the show and not just being dragged along.

Now the negatives. I think this is one of the most shallow feeling games I have ever played. Everything is done with 2 buttons, A and B. No matter what I was doing be it, cooking, swordfighting, or finding clues. I was just doing the same thing over and over again with no skill ceiling whatsoever. I found collecting the Sparkle Gems to be very boring or very unintrusive. There are gems that are out in the open and there are some gems I thought were near impossible to find to the point that I gave up collecting everything. The bosses aside from 2 were not all that fun to fight with the exception of the lion and the lights which was more of a puzzle and platforming boss then anything.

This is one of the most dissapointing games I played, which just makes me sad more then anything, since I really like Peach and other Mario characters having their own games is a good idea. But when compared to something like Luigi's Mansion and the Yoshi Island Games, this one just falls farther from the tree.

This is one of the most addicting games I have ever played. This is a Poker game that is also a roguelite. I played like a grand total of an hour of Poker and haven't played many roguelites aside from Hades and Cult of the Lamb. But the mechanic of jokers being ways to increase chips or multipliers, celestial cards being poker hand upgrades, arcane cards changing the way your cards work, and vouchers being permentant upgrades is really cool. The fact that with each lost I wanted to go back and do another run was enough to tell me that this is wasily GOTY Material. Pls pick this up if you can, it is $15 and is worth every singel penny.

Playing this after finishing Remake, this was defintly a step up from Remake. Like with VII Remake, this is another hard game to talk about. There will be no spoilers for this game whatsoever, I will only be mentioning everything from Kalm to Gold Saucer (2nd visit).

Like with Remake this is one of the best looking games ever made. With many shots from the game that blew me away, also helps that we are not stuck in Midgar and have many visual distinct areas like the Gold Saucer, Cosmo Canyon, and Gongaga. The Characterization for all the characters in Remake and the Characters that were introduced in this game were on point with vocal direction that is as amazing as it has alaways been. Cait Sith being Scootish gives me life. The music is some of the best music I've ever heard in a video game with every track being a banger. Like with Remake, the combat is the best way to handle the mix of Hack n Slash and Turn Based Elements with you needing to juggle attacking the enemies and to manage the menu's with the abilities and spells. If I were to rank the characters in terms of how fun I found them (Red XIII, Yuffie, Aerith, Tifa, Cait Sith, Cloud, Berret). Some of the new stuff in the game is really good, the play on the Gold Saucer made me cry. There are a few problems that kept me from loving this game. The stuff with Zack was really confussing with what they were implying, that can also go for the endgame of the story, some parts are a slog with the pace breaking puzzles that were in the original, and finally Sephiroth shows up not every 5 minutes, but moreso every hour, which is better, but even in the original, he wasn't there 24/7.

Just like with Remake, this is not a game that is welcoming to newcomers, but is also not a game for veterians with how different it is. But this is an amazing game that is held back by some of the same problems as Remake. Probably won't be in my top 3 games of this year if I had to guess.
