Beat FF16 and it was good. It has some of the coolest shit in gaming but for alot of the main story to me it just felt like going through the motions so I couldn't feel that invested in much of the plot/character developments. Clive and Torgal are goat tho. The other characters are mostly alright the main anomly is jill who is like fine I guess but considering how often she is there she feels kind of idk Un Notable. I will say tho I do really like the cast the build around the hideout and I managed to grow attached to them with all the side quests in the game where I do shit for em especially on the later part of the game

Beat P3P. It was pretty good. Its themes about death are really neat and I like how its tackled in the story. It's nice to play a persona game that doesn't follow the arc structure even if the first half of the game like nothing happens both social and story wise it also has a fairly baffling design making sometimes a really boring/grating experience but its vibe are Enrapturing and the music is great (Even if it only feels like there is like 5 songs) and it had me addicted for like a week. I mainly hope in Reload they can spread stuff out some more and remedy the more bizarre design choices for a more enjoyable experiences.

Def like it more than P3 it has its issues like all of the party members Dungeon's being dogshit character wise but its vibe is unmatched its utilization of the setting is genuinely perfect in every way that I can't applaud enough the cast also has the best chemistry in the series with some fucking next level voice acting I was astonished on how good it was. And its mystery Element is layed out really well. Dungeon Crawling is pretty good, better than P3's. The social link are generally great the social links really help improve the main cast depth when the main story doesn't give the best first impression due to its simplicity and lack of real effect/Just regular shit handling. Its music is also amazing and varied contributing to this games immaculate vibes.

Yeah still my favorite Persona of the 3. The way it delivers its world and characters is real Good to me even if they can be kinda heavy handed but still personally well executed. I just find its messaging standing up for what you believe in even in bad circumstances and that extending to the will of humanity in general and its ability to get back up after hardship to keep moving forward and taking that away would just lead to taking away opportunities og growth by not facing the issue really what you would call Neat and it speaks to me quite a bit. I wouldn't say the third semester clears the base game so hard anymore but it does a very good job continuing its theming while introducing probably the best antagonist in the entire Trilogy of Persona Games. The Thieves are also my little guys the chemistry in P4 is prob better but I still like the PT's dynamic overall. This game is also the social stuff as its peak when it comes to distribution across the game for stuff to do. Anywho yeah I love this game very dearly and its a Def Top 3. Feel like parts of it go underappreciated today but overall yeah but its peak and all that.

Beat Spider-Man 2. It has some of the absolute coolest shit I have ever seen in a video game the way it showcases the whole experience of being Spider-Man Is truly special but I'd be lying if I said some elements felt like they could be handled better. Its a game thats so big its hard to condense everything down. But for issues it would be that the Peter Black suit stuff should have had a more natural progression (But that's more personal taste than an issue) with it being pretty quick in escalation when im more a slowburn type. And this one which is like probably able to be rectified with some replays but I just cannot get a read on what they were going for miles with this game. He's great but storyline wise he feels kinda weird? in regards to placement and purpose in the plot. The main thing that really confused me is that like the game setups the Hero and Normal life balance like other Spider-Affairs but it weirdly doesn't like actually move at all I guess? To me it just seems like it doubles down on the Unbalance than mending it at all. Regardless I would say overall the story is very good the main sympathetic hooks are there. And the contrast with how much regular peter is such a goober while symbiote peter is like that is great and Kraven is just so fucking cool. Also I Adore MJ in this game she is such a real one. Also favorite side content is Earl and Howard they are really small in comparison to the rest but man does it fucking hit. But idk overall great game and all that wouldn't call it a personal favorite tho since It doesn't feel like one to me atm but still a really great game. Oh yeah actually its very weird how this game took a step back on alot of QOL features in the first game had like no play back on Podcasts for some reason??? Not to mention other stuff like changing weather time of day and Mission Replay
