Xenoblade Chronicles 3 feels like the perfection of the xenoblade formula as someone who has played the entire trilogy . With an amazing story and a cast of characters that feels truly alive combined with a beautiful musical score I feel comfortable calling it a modern day masterpiece and the best xenoblade game thus far
The discourse surrounding this game has scared so many people away from actually giving it a shot. If you take the plunge and dive into this game you’ll discover a rich and depth filled world and very complex layered characters. Don’t let the fanbase discourage you from giving this game a chance
I want to know what they were thinking when they designed ARR and the patch quests. Making it through that is harder than actual in game content
A very flawed game but the jank makes this weirdly charming for me. This was my first souls game so I may be biased but the felt like a truly unique experience , the tough but fair difficulty and the suffocating atmosphere of the world left a very huge impression on me and I still reminisce about my first play through to this day
2000
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
It really feels as though they struck gold when they first began creating this game. While the story is very simple almost shounen manga/anime levels of simple the presentation is absolutely perfect. The gameplay is very simple especially compared to later entries in the series (which is to be expected) and a lot of the side content is flat out terrible xenoblade 1 feels like a chance taken at experimenting that went extremely well
This has to be the best dlc to accompany a souls game and perhaps one of the best pieces of dlc ever made. In my mind the old hunters and the base game of bloodborne feels inseparable and when rating this im giving both of them a 5. I don’t feel like I can say much more that hasn’t been said but bloodborne feels like a once in a lifetime masterpiece and the old hunters only bolsters it
2019
One of the most barebones videogame experiences I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. This truly feels like if it wasn’t Pokémon it would’ve never reached the public. I love the character designs and music in the game but it feels wasted here unfortunately
2022
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
In my mind this is still my favorite Zelda game. I’m glad they haven’t touched termina officially outside of small references over the years and I hope they never do. The fact this is a one of plot makes it feel very special to me
1997
Very good game I really don’t have anything to say that hasn’t already been said
This has to be one of the most catastrophic fumbles I’ve ever ever seen happen with any video game. People were buying switches solely for this game just for them to abandon it and stop updating it like a year after it came out and that’s tragic to me since I grew up playing so much new leaf and seeing the untapped potential here + having to wait so long for this
2021
I love the gameplay , character designs , and music but the story of this game was distractingly awful even though the narrative isn’t ever really the forefront of smt. When dazai took off his hat and slicked back his hair after I lost my mind . He is truly the law rep ever
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
2016
I loved this game almost as much as the first and sunk alot more time into it but this truly feels like the beginning of when dark souls bosses stopped being about fair but punishing difficulty and starting to feed into the statements about dark souls being extremely hard. It’s so easy to get one tapped in your first run of a boss because you’re still learning and I feel like if the damage was toned down it would be alot better. No idea why they decided to remove upgrading armor but made every boss be able to kill you with a light tap
