Bio
JT. He/Him
I'm a product of the 80s with a small chip on my shoulder and I'm not afraid to die on hills that really aren't that important.
I don't really like half-stars. I pretty much use them for the .5 star rated trash of the video game world. Everything else will get a 2, 3, 4, or 5.
Not a fan of games that feel like movies - I'm here to grind and to get high scores, not watch 50 hours of cutscenes. Knowing this, I don't tend to play them so don't expect many reviews or ratings from me on that front. I try to avoid games I don't like, but sometimes you just get let down, you know?
I'm also horrible at logging games as I play them so that section will never look accurate.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If Splatterhouse 3 decided to not make any changes to the formula then people would complain that it was "another game just like the first two, no one asked for this!" but because there were some significant gameplay changes you're bound to have people crying that it "doesn't feel like a Splatterhouse game".
The overall feel is the same grotesque romp of absolutely annihilating monsters as our beefcake protagonist, Rick, but the play is much more typical beat 'em up. The monsters have more life, Rick has more moves, and everything is a bit more intense.
Think Double Dragon if it were a horror movie.

Sweet Home has been sitting in my backlog for a while, now, as I kept forgetting it exists because....well, because next to no one seems to talk about it.
Now, considering the graphical limitations, this isn't genuinely frightening in any real way, but it is definitely unsettling.
Otherwise, this is a really well done JRPG with a handful of unique mechanics but ultimately is fairly standard when viewing it from a modern perspective.
Now if only the difficulty pacing were more better - by about halfway through the game you'll probably find yourself slaughtering enemies without much thought and just getting annoyed at the random encounters that just waste your time.

Look, the game isn't bad - but I am.
Open Arena is a clone of Quake Arena. As far as I can tell it is well made, it is definitely fun. But if there's something I'm missing due to my blatant lack of skill, then I apologize if my 4/5 rating is misleading.
