Great revival of one of the best platformer series of all time. Movement feels like it has a bit too much inertia at times, especially compared to the game's predecessors, which were so tight. Otherwise really fun.

I don't know what ancient gods had to be appeased to bring us a collaboration between Hironobu Skaguchi, Yuji Horii, and Akira Toriyama, but they can have my firstborn.
Loved the idea of having scripted battles rather than random encounters, and that they played out right on the playing field. Genius.
Shoutouts to Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu for a bangin' soundtrack. Square RPGs always know how to build you up with a heroic theme and make your heart soar when you inevitably obtain an airship.

It's wild that this is on 3DS. It just works, it's Minecraft. Perfectly playable. Lovely to have a little MC world in my pocket. I will fall off of it for all the usual reasons I fall off of Minecraft.
This game owned on the WiiU, and it owns just as hard on the 3DS.

Short and sweet, extremely strong and well-designed. Gets in, has a good time, and gets out before it gets old. Love it.

Wanted to like it. Just didn't click with me. Maybe some other time.

Love the curve from difficulty to mastery. Perfect example of integrating the crank into gameplay. Fun little high-score chaser that I'll probably return to.
Being in the open world and catching Pokémon is a chill good time. The story is not chill or good or very fun at all. Especially towards the end, really drags the experience down. I felt a great weight lift from my shoulders after I hit credits and got to just hang in a field again catching Pokémon and vibing.

It's Picross! I love Picross! Wish you didn't have to use the touch controls, but otherwise great.
Another okay Digimon game.

Watched my girlfriend play it over a couple of nights. Gorgeous art, delightful gameplay. Fun, simple, linear, short.

Another gem from Zach Gage.
I keep meaning to finish this. Maybe I will one day. Really stellar tactics game.

I really need to finish this. One of the most gorgeous and perfect video games I have ever fallen off of.

A solid spooky time. Love the way all the episodes were tied together. Cool way to tell a story. Only undone in places by having to fumble through finding the correct text inputs.
