Honestly, replaying the game reminded me why it's my favorite Tomb Raider game! TR Legend is such a fun experience to play overall and it embodies everything I look for in the series

it's so fun!

It has my favorite design of Lara in the series and I love it's visual and structured level design. That final boss is also some peak fiction level shit imo, it's so awesome!

or how all the puzzle elements are well implemented, or the really in flow and responsive platforming

it's such a good game

Gaming in 2023 peaks here, nothing is ever gonna top Hi Fi Rush and it's only January.

Honestly I wasn't actually excited for much coming out this year outside of two other games but then this got released and I bought it day one due to loving it's style and lemme tell you this is the best $30 I've ever spent.

So many options to customize the experience to your skill level, charming characters (Peppermint is my favorite), fluid and fast combo action gameplay, and an excellent use of music to make the experience even better. Absolutely in love with this game, please go buy it!

The best way to describe it is that it's a "Kusoge Platformer"

It's got alot of jank, it's unoptimized, and the final bosses suck (yes all 3)

But movement controls are fun and it's got charm to pull through, but I can't recommend it.

I like the core mechanics and the first two worlds of this game, it feels like the closest the Gamecube will ever get to God Hand but the latter half of the game gets too frustrating to be fun for me, so it feels overall like it's only half a good game.

I like Viola and if she was the only playable character I probably would've been able to finish the game but everything else is such a slog to me that I really can't motivate myself to continue playing despite being half way through the game.

Bayo herself has had her gameplay downgraded due to the god awful monster summoning gimmick this game added which feels what would happen if you took the idea from V in DMC5 of not actually fighting anything but it's not as fun here cause the monsters Bayo summon aren't chainable with the same flow as V's.

Jeane's the worst part of the game, I HATE the stealth missions they gave her because yeah, you don't have to sneak around you can just brute force it but they're not fun and overall it's a bad sign when I have to force myself to play a video game.

I can't enjoy this game except for the Viola levels, Viola is actually fun to play and fight with, I hope if there's a Bayonetta 4, it'll just be more of her because frankly this game just shows me Bayonetta herself has lost her spark.

"Transformers Devastation makes you feel like the nihilist after he gets a footjob from the Transgirl in AppleBee's"

After playing Bayo 3, this felt like a perfect breath of fresh air for me! There's no reason why some of Platinum's best work is somehow in a licensed game based on an 80's cartoon but it's pretty good!

I like Transformers now.

A short but fun rhythm game with a simple story about growing up and following your dreams.

The game has a really cool conclusion and the songs keep you on your toes even on easy, I really wish this game had more eyes on it.

A neat idea of doing an RPG under the guise of a fighting game but it leaves much to be desired imo and the last hand full of bosses can kiss my ass.

It's a good game though, glad it finally came to home consoles.

Honestly a really interesting spin off. I think the story is kind of awkward as it's main conflict between it's two leads feels really contrived and forced but the game overall is alot of fun.

I think the gameplay perfectly transfers the mechanics of the main series into an action game setting, the co-op having a shared health bar really does encourage cooperation and I think alot of the character designs are cool.

My biggest gripe is the platforming/exploration. I felt like at times in the second half that stuff got confusing and some platforming sections felt more difficult than they should've been.

Overall, as someone who's fairly new to Mortal Kombat. I really enjoyed my time with Shaolin Monks even if it isn't perfect.

Ya know, I didn't like roguelikes till now but Dead Estate really helped me to understand the appeal of the genre. Might have to revisit games like Hades with this new perspective now! Great Game btw go buy it.

The funniest thing about this game is that it makes the original JSR look bad.

Probably my 2nd favorite game of the year (nothing can beat Hi-Fi Rush), it's such a good time.

If you're a fan of THUG and dig more stylized games like TWEWY, then you're gonna dig this game

Game would be a four star if it wasn't for "Phase Ten: The Wicker Bride" being such a pain in the ass
