imo the best in the series. Weapon balance, hub quests, visual design, music, monster design - It all hit exactly how it needed to for me. There are only a few downsides. Underwater combat, this game's main gimmick, just didn't work with the 3ds' control scheme. It's a lot better emulated or on the Wii U version, but most people (Including me for the majority of my playtime) played on the 3DS version. They also decided not to include online play on the 3DS version, which as mentioned is the version most people played.
Still a great game when you get down to it though.

Hella fucking fun and very competitive. The depth and visual design in this game set a new bar for fighters based on anime.
Nintendo really outdid themselves here. The most creative 2D game since Super Mario World on the SNES, they've combined Nintendo's all star talent with a lot of gameplay sensibilities and level design taken straight from the most popular levels of Mario Maker. End result is a Mario game that actually feels fresh and respects your intelligence enough to throw some really tough levels at you. Must play if you like Mario's formula, especially if you've been a little tired by the NSMB games' sameyness.

Makes a great concept more accessible to those who didn't have the patience for the original. Kinda pales in comparison to the original game but it still blows most modern survival horror contenders out of the water.
1998
One of the best survival horror games of all time. Tons of content, so much replayability, great graphics for the time and a KILLER soundtrack.
Massive suite of problems but Nintendo revolutionized open world gaming and set a new standard on its first try. One of the most influential games of its gen, the things it did still ripple through open world games today.

There's a legitimate argument that this is the best action game ever made. A ton of depth, dynamic difficulty system that gets harder as you get better, wacky ass context sensitive actions and so many different movesets to try and enemy encounters to test them out on. It's just straight peak.
Genuinely insane how this game has been passed over by so many people when it should be the blueprint.

Beautiful love letter to fans of the series. Drags on hella in the middle but the main story hits hard, and it does its best to bring home and conclude what Yakuza 6 couldn't.

Still holds up. Incredible how the setpieces, music, va blow a lot of modern action games out of the water.

Incredibly unique game that deserves to be played. The combat falls a little short, but outside of that everything is stellar. It’s just a shame how much of this game is combat.
2023
Extremely boring. Wanted to love it bad but I just couldn't push through it.

It was alright, just painfully average. Might go back to it someday but for now this year's had too many bangers for me to care.
2023
It's peak. Completely replaces the original for me. While there's some aspects I like less, they're complete nitpicks and aren't enough for me to really care. My new fav horror game of all time.
2023
Best FE game since Radiant Dawn on the GCN, story was simple but the gameplay was peak.
