A-maze-ing!
That joke was free real-estate.

It’s bizarre that a game that teaches you how to cope with grief from so many different angles and characters left me so emotionally devastated at an ending that ties its themes together so perfectly. I’ve been crying for like 12 hours, I can’t seem to get over it.
Forever grateful for the video game gods to deliver this remake to me at the peak of my Persona fandom. It's everything I could've ever wanted and more. I have notes... there are some really weird plot and pacing issues... but I can't bring myself to care when I had such a great experience overall. For a third time, Persona became my second life, and a home away from home. It's a little concerning how I managed to play this in two weeks though, so I think I'll be able to handle the long wait for Persona 6.

Bought the game for Steam and had to replay the whole thing again because it's been a while! And this time, I did EVERYTHING! 100% Completion! Except for Farewell... that'll come later.

After hearing that the next Nintendo console is dropping sometime this year, something baffling occurred to me. Despite owning every Pokémon game on the console, I haven't finished any of them! So I said "fuck it", it's Pokémon Scarlet time. I should've went with Legends Arceus.
Obviously, the worst offense that this game commits is the unforgivable performance issues. The biggest video game franchise of all time can't release games this fucking broken, and with every compliment I can give this game, there is nothing that counteracts the massive disappointment that this game stands to be. That's not to mention my biggest pet peeve of how the lack of voice acting - or any semblance of voice emoting - makes this game feel so stunted and awkward.
Okay now for actual content, I'll rapid fire:
- The school setting is a fun idea that gives pretty much no incentive to actually visit the school, which is weird, but manageable.
- The open world is fun when you finally start seeing a wide display of Pokémon, I just wish there was a little bit more to find out there to draw attention away from the main objectives.
- Middle of the road generation in terms of new Pokémon designs. Not nearly as miserable as Sword/Shield, but doesn't give me enough to like it as much as other gens.
- Weirdly, this game probably has the best human character designs in the franchise.
- I thought Terastallization would be stupid as hell, but it was easily the best gameplay gimmick since Megas.
- Arven's entire storyline is a lot of fun! Titan Pokémon are simple, yet awesome to fight, and I even enjoyed the character moments a ton!
- Nemona and the Victory Road storyline is your standard Pokémon journey, but it's not butchered by any means, and I appreciate that. Gym leaders were almost all enjoyable!
- Larry!
- Team Star started promising but got a bit dull by the end. I don't really like the characters in that storyline so much, except Clive, who is epic.
- Final Boss that ties all of the characters from each main storyline together was a solid way to wrap it up, and Area Zero is a lot of fun to briefly explore! Also the reveal that Sada, Arven's Mom, has been dead throughout the game was pretty wild.
-Ed Sheeran Jumpscare
Overall, I didn't hate it. Some might claim it's the bottom of the barrel for the franchise, but let me remind you that Sword/Shield are on the same console as well. Despite how dogshit the games quality, I'm thankful they're changing up the formula for the first time ever, and it would be great if they could improve their quality come Generation 10, or will it be called Gen X?

I'll play anything Celeste-like except Celeste's Farewell because I'm scared of it
SuperHot's "Arcade Mode" that gets old fast, but was still enjoyable enough to 100% complete. It's one of those games that you play while watching a movie. (Also, the 2 1/2 hour loading screen to get the last achievement is criminal behavior and I chipped half a star off because of it)

The hotel is one hell of a place to explore, with so much interpretable history and personality. I got really scared, despite the fact that there was no mention of this being a horror game anywhere, but it doesn't matter because that fear was hella motivating. That all being said, they really butchered that ending. Nicole had absolutely no reason staying behind, or trying to reconnect with her dead parents at all. YOUR FATHER WAS A RAPIST AND YOUR MOTHER WAS A MURDERER NICKY! GO HOME!
Also the game's bugs were incredibly frustrating. A walking sim shouldn't fuck up a cutscene making you replay 30 minutes of story over again. This happened twice.

The only arcade game I can consistently win, it gets no rating from me, but it does have my respect.

Don't know why it took me so long to get around to playing massive Portal 2 mods that are basically just full games, but the hype of this new one was hard to ignore. The gameplay is great, wonderful even! There's a lot of fun new puzzle concepts in play, and there are thankfully no absurdly hard puzzles to get frustrated over. It would almost be a proper Portal sequel if it just had a tighter story. It's not bad by any means, but it does leave a little something to be desired. I have a great deal of respect to the community that made this game, and if by any slim chance one of those creators is reading this review, Thank You, truly.
It's too late, I've become the best Bridge Constructor Portal player in the world, with more hours in this game than any of the other Portal games. Oh, that's actually pretty sad.
2019
A perfect recreation of all things arcade, but the connective tissue (survival mode) is extremely dull, while the free-roam mode is unsatisfying. I have no doubts that the game will improve over time though, and for a game in early access, it's extremely promising.
The cruise ship is an awesome new map! Sure wish there was more to do on it...
The best chapter in the whole game
I was hoping this game would turn out to be a banger, despite the restrictive allegations of it simply being “the incest game”. Well guess what, that title is too restrictive! It’s actually the incest satanist cannibal game with dialogue that sounds like a 12 year old wrote it and gameplay that’s so limited that it's nearly a visual novel! I won’t say the story is bad per say, but the crime that the game does commit - aside from the many, many crimes that the characters commit - is how categorically boooooooring it is despite the chaos.
A part of me died on the inside when I found out there’s still more Coffin of Andy and Leyley to come.

The most epic shitty game of all time
