That was one of the greatest video games I have ever played.
I honestly wasn’t sure where this game would land along 4 and 5 with me loving both of them as much as I do, but this game stands strong with both of em as 10/10s.
Persona 3 has what I think is the series’s best cast. Every single character is so deep in a way that 4 and 5 hits with most but not all of their casts. ALSO THE SOCIAL LINKS IN THIS GAME ARE SOOO GOOD!!
This remake brings the gameplay up to the modern standard that was set by P5, and executes on it perfectly. I do think I prefer P5’s palaces, but Tartarus was still way better than people online lead me to believe.
And GOD that story! I unfortunately knew a good amount of the plot since I watched the movies years ago, but god it hits so much harder in game form. This game handles the theme of death so incredibly well, and even got me thinking about my own life more.
I don’t entirely know yet how I would rank the Persona games just yet, but the fact that there is a chance I would put this game over P5 is wild considering that game is a top 5 game of all time, but it really just is that good.
I loved this game a lot. It’s not officially confirmed yet, but it’s rumored that this game is getting DLC adding in missing content from FES, and I will be there day one.

Wow, what a complete surprise for me. And WOW I am so jealous of the fans of the first Alan Wake. To get a game with this kind of pay off after the 13 year wait must have been insane. This game is wonderful.
I really loved how Saga's and Alan's segments felt so different from each other, yet eventually came together for an insanely satisfying conclusion. I am really excited to see what comes next from Remedy.
Only thing I will note as an issue I had, some chapters had some not great map navigation. Control had the same issue imo, and to be fair, it is a LOT better here. But it was noticeable for sure, especially in the early Alan chapters.
I am bummed I didn't get to play this game last year, because it would have been pretty high on my GOTY list. And to be entirely honest, I would have loved to see this game win Game of the Year. It wouldn't have been mine personally, but this game would have deserved it.

This has been a series I have been putting off getting into for a while. 0 is something special. While it's not perfect, I found myself insanely engaged in the story and was on the edge of my seat by the end.
I tried playing this game a few years back, and put it down because the intro didn't interest me. Going back now, I still stand by the first 2 chapters of this game being a little meh. However, once the game hits chapter 3, it hits its peak and never comes down.
I will also say, the combat wasn't a very strong element of this game for me. It was fun for a bit, but nearing the end, I was purposely avoiding combat encounters. Excited for when I get to 7 and 8 and I get to check out the turn based combat.
Overall, I had a fantastic time with Yakuza 0, and I am glad I took the time to finally take it off my backlog. I highly suggest playing this game if you haven't yet.

Sonic Unleashed is a childhood game of mine that I will forever love no matter what. I stand by this game having the best 3D levels in any Sonic game by far. The music is absolutely wonderful. I love the vibes of the 2000's Sonic story. And yeah idc, Wearhog Sonic is fucking cool.
With that said, this replay might have convinced me that this is no longer my favorite 3D Sonic game. The medal collecting was a bit of an unnecessary grind that I hate every time I play this game. Werehog, while I don't think it is nearly as bad as people thing, is a little tedious with how long some of the levels end up being. And GOD is Eggman Land such an unfun final level. With all that said, this game has some of the highest highs of the entire series. While I do think Generations is the better 3D Sonic overall, this game reaches higher highs than Generations, and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love this game despite its flaws.

This might be one of the worst games I have ever played, which is such a bummer. I don't consider myself a fnaf fan, but this one peaked my interest. I wish it didn't because this was one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had playing a game. Decided to drop it and a few months later, I see a clip of the ending that fully verified to me that there is absolutely no reason to see this one through to the end. Awful. Stay away.
This game is fine.
I tried playing this game a couple times, and finally decided to force myself to finish it. Tbh I’m not a fan of how a lot of the levels are designed to work for this game, with a ton of em just being minute long levels.
Also yeah, obvious point, but this port sucks. Everything is super over saturated for no reason, fps drops all the time, and just overall very cheap feeling. Though I don’t think any of the port issues really impacted my experience with the game THAT much.
A lot of people say Colors is the natural evolution of Unleashed, and GOD do I so strongly disagree with that. Unleashed’s levels are miles ahead of this game
Music is fantastic tho! Actually the reason I decided to play this game was because of hearing Colors music at the Sonic Symphony
