Bio
Here to provide wanton thoughts on games I have played. So just like everyone else who uses this site, really.

My rating system:

5 Stars - Maybe not perfect, but any shortcomings are made up for by what makes the game so fantastic.

4 Stars - Perhaps one major flaw that holds it back, but still a brilliant game in its own right.

3 Stars - A game with issues, but not enough to fully detract from the enjoyable aspects.

2 Stars - More frustrating than fun, though there's some nuggets of inspiration buried in the crust.

1 Star - Any good aspects the game may offer are waylaid by the awful parts. Avoid.

1/2 Star - Absolute dogwater. Like Scraping your teeth on ice. And then falling into a pit of used needles.

After seeing all the hype these games get (and have gotten from my online friends for about a decade) I finally took the plunge with one of these Persona games.

I cried three times at the ending. Proper dry-heave sobbing. The cast and story are among gaming's best.

Loved the way the themes tied into the gameplay, the time management made moment-to-moment choices a lot more meaningful, and exploring Tartarus was stupid addictive.

Going to be thinking about this game for a long, long while.

I remember when the first Octopath Traveler was announced, I thought it looked interesting. Never got around to playing it, though. So, originally, I wasn't going to pick up the sequel.

Then I had a dream about playing it - more than that, LIKING it - so I took that as a sign from God that I should pick this game up.

Holy goddamn am I glad I did, as this is one of the best fuckin games (that isn't a remake or a remaster) that I've played in AGES.

The characters are immediately likable, their eight stories having me hooked from beginning to end, all culiminating in some plot twists that had my jaw FIRMLY dislocated. To say nothing of the gorgeous art style, or the incredible soundtrack accompanying it all, or even the really, REALLY fun combat!

God damn. God DAMN. One of the best RPGs I've ever played.

As someone who only played about ten minutes of the original, I can really only give my thoughts on this game from the angle of JUST playing this remake.

Holy hell, what a game this was. A fulfilling bite-size chunk of RPG - completed the main story and all the bonus postgame bosses in just under 20 hours - but despite the short length, it is stuffed to the GILLS with charm and fun character moments. It's vibrant, snappy, smooth as butter, and I enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. Very pleased I took a chance with this game.
