Fantastic game, I thought the day system would make me too scared to start the game but it wasn't that bad tbh, check it out, its short and fun asf

Probably one of my favorite racing games of all time. I like how it kinda mixes typical racing with action and gives great tracks and mechanics. You'd think that the controls would be terrible, which they can be sometimes, but most of the time it is fine. I recommend this if you're a fan of high action and racing games.

This is a perfect example of a game you can pick up and play no matter what mood you are in. Probably some of the most fun I have had playing a game in a while. Hitting stunts midair and dodging trees and almost everything else in this game feels incredibly satisfying. And no, I am not blinded by nostalgia, this is the first time I've played any games in the SSX series. If you have a GameCube or PS2, pick this game up. It is dirt cheap for one of the most fun experiences you'll have.
Clearing my Backlog Part 5: Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
This game is really bland and just uninspired. It is one of those cases of not being so unbearable, just not entertaining. The amount of boredom I had just tapping the amiibo and watching text boxes was large. Why didn't they just map the dice spin to the A button? Tapping every time gets tedious. This game sucks and just seems like it was made to promote amiibo and to not actually be taken as anything else. Don't bother.

Clearing my Backlog Part 4: Halo 2
The game's difficulty is much higher than the first game's, but that is honestly what made me have a lot of fun with this one. Like combat evolved, the combat is amazing and the weapon additions are really fun to use. I don't have a lot to say, just play it for yourself.

It's a great concept and most of the levels were pretty cool but there are occasional bullshit levels. Level 4 of expert mode can kiss my ass. Party games and mini games were really cool though.
I haven't played any WarioWare games before but this might change that. I thought that this series was kinda dumb and just had quick easy minigames but the minigames were actually challenging at certain points and the game is just full of charm. I feel like this is one of those games I can go back to over and over again and never get bored.

Half-Life Before is such a weird situation. The level itself is fine enough but that is kinda the only thing saving it. The enemies feel randomly scattered and don't seem like they were actually placed in good spots. The gimmick of having to push boxes to get to certain points isn't the worst thing ever but it feels so slow and seems like an excuse for a "puzzle." The boss fight is terrible and what makes it worse is that if you let go of your walk button for even a second, you are going to die and you'll have to rewatch the cutscene over and over until you stop dying and beat the boss. It isn't hard, but having to keep walking backwards while shooting, hoping to not bump into any walls is really tedious. Overall the game is a mess with like very few redeemable qualities. It can be beat in less than like 4 minutes so you might as well play it for yourself. Just don't expect anything good.
Surprisingly really fun, I thought everyone was over-exaggerating how good this game was but I actually agree. Adventure mode was pretty cool, and the many different kinds of move combos and playsets from the different fighters is really cool. The roster is fine, I think that the inclusion of Pichu and Dr. Mario were strange but I'm not complaining. And no, I don't have nostalgia bias, this is an honest review from someone who just played this game. Definitely my favorite smash entry.
Clearing my Backlog Part 3: Hyrule Warriors Legends
Honestly a pretty fun time waster. Got this back in 2021 and just now decided to play it. I'm a sucker for Warriors combat so I knew I was gonna have fun with this either way. I didn't really care for the story I was just focused on the gameplay which isn't bad at all. Surprised that the 3DS doesn't really chug that much when slashing through a bunch of enemies at once, at least it doesn't for me. Overall a pretty fun time, nothing crazy but a good time waster.

Clearing my Backlog Part 2: Mario Party 9
Mario Party 9 is a very forgettable experience. Ask me to name 3 minigames and I could maybe name one if I'm really trying. The only one I can remember is like the minigame where you put your toppings on a pizza. The boss battles were fine I guess and a neat idea but the car is terrible. It ruins the whole idea mario party is going for. It was kinda fun but also started the downfall of the series. It's not the best.

Clearing my Backlog Part 1: Mario Kart DS
Mario Kart DS is definitely up there for the best in the series. Honestly, it may really be the best one, close to Wii. Mario Kart DS takes risks that were lowkey good. The missions seemed strange at first for a racing game but playing them actually were pretty fun and made sense. The boss fights were honestly pretty creative. The roster wasn't the greatest but I guess I can't nitpick that much considering this was a DS game. The tracks were pretty good too, maybe only like a few L's. Overall, pretty good.

Episode 1 was incredibly underwhelming, and while it wasn't bad, this game definitely makes it look bad. Huge step up from Episode 1 in almost everyway. I feel like I could revisit almost every chapter of this game and not get bored. The only chapter I kinda didn't like was Chapter 2 but it wasn't even that bad. I'm glad the game gave more challenges like near the final stretch of the game where you had to fight off all of the striders and hunters from getting to the base. Half-Life 2 will always be my favorite, but this is definitely an extremely close second.
I have a lot of memories with this game and it is honestly really fun, but a lot of people overlook it. Me and my friend play this every now and then and have hours of fun. I'm pretty sure this was one of the first introductions I have had to the Half-Life series funnily enough. Decent online shooter, nothing crazy but not bad.
