I feel like I have to get myself into the certain mindset where I can enjoy dragon quest after playing more intense jrpgs for a while. I had fun with this but the plot of this game especially the postgame time travel stuff felt incredibly mishandled and actually undid what small part of this story where the protagonist loses and Veronica sacrifices herself. Even though I wasn’t much of a fan of this game it did encourage me to play the others

I feel as though for it’s time the writing and presentation on display in this game were amazing. I think I was just hit with this game at the right time in my life because I played it during the beginning of the Covid lockdowns in my 11th grade year of highschool. A lot of the routes really spoke to me and I actually shed a tear at the good ending to Akiha’s but I found a lot of things like the H-scenes really weird and forced and the way they sexual assault which is already a very touchy subject was flat out gross but I still enjoyed my time playing this game nonetheless

We finally got the open world Pokémon game we were waiting for since the series inception and it was just OK. The music was great but that’s par for the course for Pokémon so it’s not really a groundbreaking statement. The story or atleast the ending of it was great actually which was refreshing after Pokémon sword and shields story which was in my opinion the worst story in the series to date. I’m not a stickler for graphics but the way this game looks is very rough in most places and the lack of a deeper character customization with clothing was very dissatisfying. With the controversy surrounding the games launch I do hope things improve because this series is very near and dear to me

I feel like people are way too quick to dogpile kingdom hearts as a series because of how outlandish the idea of final fantasy crossing over with Disney is but I had alot of fun here. I loved the final fantasy stuff and got goosebumps interacting with cloud and sephiroth and the story while simple was very uplifting to me and I could see this being a comfort game. I’ve not played any of the others but I want to give them a shot
My favorite fire emblem game and in my top ten games ever. I feel like the presentation of the series peaked here even though we’re on home consoles and this is a 3ds game. I wonder if they’ll ever remake an older fire emblem in this style again because I reminisce about this all the time it felt perfect to me
