One of my childhood favorites. I never owned it, but I borrowed it from my friend pretty often. Thankfully for it's short length, abundance of lives, and general easiness I was able to beat it no problem during the brief windows I could play it. I think this is one of the first games I ever beat; the idea that there was an endpoint to games was totally alien to me before SML2.

Replaying it on the NSO was a treat, especially now that Nintendo finally acknowledged that the GBC color pallets are a thing, so I could play it how I remembered it as a kid. I recommend anyone with NSO gives the game a try, wonderful little game.

Also the Star Maze music is so good I can't believe it's only been used in this game and Paper Mario Sticker Star, it needs to be used more.

This game tapped into childhood memories of playing "Zelda" on the playground with other kids and constructing our own scenarios and my old dream of wanting to make my own games to share with everyone.

I initially thought it was going to be an A Short Hike clone (not in a negative way) but the game has its own identity with its framing of a childhood game and the mini Breath of the Wild gameplay. The story is both funny and touching, and I absolutely loved it.

Highly recommend if you want a chill little game to last you about 4-6 hours.

I could complain about the goofy perk system, the removal of skills, the voiced and limited player dialogue, the stinky factions and more, but honestly, none of that really matters. Fallout 4 was really fun to play, I enjoyed almost every minute of it, and that's what counts. It wasn't the sequel I wanted but it's just more Fallout and I love Fallout so what's there to complain about. I sunk 50 hours into it in two weeks and still could play more.

I had to put the game down in 2016 because the original console release game me horrible motion sickness, but I'm really glad I went back to it. Already want to play again with a new build and a new faction.

Finally beat it after all these years lol. I really like the game, it's a fun beat 'em up with branching paths and puzzles, but it's all pretty simple. I feel like the extreme difficulty was trying to mask that it is a very short game with little substance, but the difficult just highlights how basic the combat is. But I still like it, the music and graphics are great, I love the Genesis twang here, so even if the gameplay is half baked I still have a good time whenever I play it.

I'd recommend playing with save states though, having only three lives and being sent back to the beginning is brutal, especially in a game with so much forced damage and limited healing.

Music and sound by Yamaoka is great, the otherworld design is pretty neat too without relying on the series trademark blood and rust. Monster is pretty cool, done by Masahiro Ito.

Some goofy writing which is both a pro and a con.

It's short and free so there wouldn't be much to complain about regardless, but I think it's decent little game. It's honestly just nice to be playing a new game titled Silent Hill in 2024.

A wonderful experience, Kirby translated to 3D game play smoothly! The levels are fairly linear but encourage exploration and have a lot of different gimmicks and set pieces to set them apart. The level themes were great too; even if you have "beach world, desert world, water world" each level had a distinct setting that made no two levels feel similar. Excellent music to accompany them too!

Surprisingly a lot of content for a Kirby game, besides the minigames and the arena there's a bunch of mini stages built around a single ability or move; they're a lot of fun and teach you the utility of each copy ability.

Only real issue with the game is that it feels slower than normal for a Kirby game (along with a few quality of life issues that'd make getting 100% more tedious than it should be such as a lack of quick restart).

Very minor complaints though, this is a great game and pretty high up on my Kirby ranking!
