One of the all time greats, just as good in the modern era. I prefer the original's cheesy and tongue-in-cheek tone, but this was an excellent translation from an old classic.

Minecraft is an incredibly difficult game to rate; there are times where I can't get enough of it, and times where I'm bored out of my mind. Its influence is undeniable, and the consistent developer support is top of the industry, but the novelty has lessened with time.

Despite everything, it's still you.

Beautiful art. Beautiful music. Perfect blend of combat and platforming for a Metroidvania. Really, truly exceptional.

Really beautiful artstyle, and writing that both evades and takes advantages of tropes in the genre, but just a really substandard roguelike. No deviation in bosses or enemies, just the same notes again and again, run after run. Sorely missed opportunity.

There are tons of great ideas here, like a dish that has all the right ingredients, but just isn't prepared properly. The more the game went on, the more I got bored. It finishes on a high note, and began so extremely well, but the middle was a lump of nothing.

FromSoft's best. Not especially welcome to reruns, or at least the way I like to play the game, but that first time through was extraordinary.

I thought Breath of the Wild was okay- an amazing beginning to a game that grew sore the longer it went on, but Tears of the Kingdom is a genuine masterpiece. The exploration, skill interaction, and heart poured into the world is second to none. I adored it.

The golden age of Bioware. Genuinely feels like it's 2004 again.
