Reading through all the reviews here that have been based solely on the cutscenes in 1.5 made me twinge in pain. It's such a shame that this game goes unloved simply because Square Enix doesn't feel like putting in the effort to remake it... Especially since it's actually pretty good. Probably my second-favorite, nestled very snugly below KH2 and above KH3.

The progression is entirely mission-based, with all the gameplay being segmented into multiple short quests in various Disney worlds. It gets repetitive quickly, but considering the medium, I think it was a good call. Being able to burn through a couple missions during a bus ride or a short break is very nice. It also pairs nicely with the game's story; the budding friendship between Roxas, Axel, and Xion is even easier to buy when you get a true grasp of how much time they spend together, and what they go through together while performing odd jobs for the Organization, throughout the events of the entire game. The trimmed-down cutscenes of 1.5 simply can't capture the feeling of it.

I am also very fond of the Panel equipment system. Put simply, all the game's mechanics - what magic you can cast, what items you have equipped, what your Keyblade is, what defensive and mobility options you can use, and even what level your character is... are all determined by equipping "Panels" onto a large grid, with some Panels being able to be augmented by attaching other Panels to them. This novel mechanic makes preparing your character into a little minigame in and of itself, and I always enjoyed messing with it. Especially since your equipped Keyblade will actually completely change your Attack combos.

And, of course, the immense coolness of being able to play as members of the original Organization XIII is, and always will be, incredibly cool.

358/2 Days is the second most underappreciated title in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. The MOST underappreciated, re:Coded, is on my to-do list to this day...

8/10. Roxas, that's a stick.

My status is a lie. I've never played To The Moon. But... this is the kind of game that you can give five stars without ever having played it yourself.

Well, "game" is a misnomer... To The Moon is, more than anything else, a story. One that strikes a deep and very personal chord with me. A story about regrets, loss, and love that leaves me close to tears doing something as simple as writing about it. No really, I need to stop now before I start crying.

10/10.

Activision-Blizzard as a developer has proven itself to have an absolutely deplorable atmosphere. The actions of some of its members cannot be defended at all. But Overwatch itself is a decent enough game, at least in my opinion.

At the very least, I'll miss playing as Lucio. The character's movement felt fun to utilize, his weapon was uniquely challenging to wield at its fullest, and the passive benefits radiated to nearby allies let me feel like I was being useful even when I was doing something as simple as walking with my group. He was an immensely satisfying character to play... and I was pretty good with him, if I say so myself.

6/10. Don't give Activision-Blizzard your money until their working environment drastically improves, though.
