I'm kinda hooked on this game.

I have never played a Splatoon before this one and the on boarding for new players is insanely bad. You can spawn specific places on the map? I had no idea. Any way to tell how you're doing combat wrong? Well, TTK is so small you're likely falling over dead before you get anything meaningful to work with.
It's a shame the core of the game doesn't gel with me. Because the aesthetic is awesome. The city vibes and the characters are fantastic. The single player didn't do much to ignite my imagination with such a cool setting though. I imagine multiplayer would be rewarding after a few more hours, but I honestly just don't feel compelled to muddle through any more of the game.

Not a bad game. But I got done with the subway dungeon and the next dungeon up was a subway dungeon. I might come back to it after a while. I found the combat to be the same level quality that I associate with the SMT games, but the dungeon design turned me off.

The game is a lot of fun. Did it need to be a roguelike though? Am I possibly the only person feeling burnt out on the genre? Going back to stage one every failure is exhausting. That coupled with the need to make the game hard as nails to make sure it feels like a value(I guess? Is that why?). Admittedly this game's checkpoint and gimme that I unlocked both help, but I think my score takes a hit solely on how tired of this approach to gamemaking I currently am.

Ever loved everything about a game but been too bad at it and it eventually broke you? I haven't had these feelings since trying to beat Megaman 1 as a kid.
A very anime fighter. I doubt I am going to give it the dedication it would need for me not to just get dunked on constantly online -- but it is really well done. My old brain just needs the slower fighters.
I don't have anything interesting or insightful here. 90+ hours spent in one game world isn't a small ask, and I feel like this is the first Xenoblade that got me to see it all the way through for good reason. A very enjoyable time.

Not going to change your mind if you don't like Shumps... but if you find yourself shump-curious this is a great place to start. A lot of fun and a well made example of the genre. That name though... that name.

It really stinks not liking games considered masterpieces. Great writing and characters rolled up in gameplay that couldn't hold my interest in the least. The game is celebrated as a classic for very good reasons, but I don't find myself in the boat of people who were able to meet the game on its terms. Still, I am interested to see what this studio comes up with next.
I played Cadence of Hyrule first, and I feel like it kinda steals this game's lunch a bit. Still really fun, but they really polished the game play to a near-perfect balance in Cadence.

Thank you, FF1, for kick starting a series that went on to do great things - but gaming has sanded off a lot of these incredibly rough edges that are present in this game in the years between.
I burnt out finally. Only took a couple thousand hours.

I would be recommending this game from the mountaintops if the ending was a little less repetitive and drawn out. Still though, if this is your kind of thing it's mostly a great time.

Looks like the games i was a big fan of, but really felt like it didn't understand what made them great. Personally I'd rather play something by Inti Creates.
Oh, but that soundtrack does go pretty hard.

Easy to pick up. Not gruelingly hard like most of the genre, but I found it to be light and pleasurable, scratching a lot of those itches the genre has while lowering immeasurably the bar of entry of unlocking/learning everything.
