Wafuu!
Klonoa 1:
An adorable game with a more emotional ending that I was ready for. The platforming was tight, and the balloon mechanic in general was super enjoyable to play with as well. Especially the last level you unlock after getting all the unlockables in every level. That stage was my favourite. It's short but worth every minute. Extremely high recommendation from me!

Haven't replayed this in a long while but I'm still as good as ever. Still my favourite racing game ever made. Got the Xbox version today just for funsies cuz playing on pc can be a pain due to the setup. And that justified this replay haha.
1994
This game blows but it's also really funny so I feel like that aspect alone justified the £5 pricetag that I paid for the super famicom cart. But unless you're like me and can appreciate a "good" kusoge, dont bother XD
I remember playing this originally years ago when the SNES mini came out and I put loads of roms of fan translated games on it. It very quickly became one of my favourite games ever. The story really gripped me like no other and I've yet to play through the 2 remakes, but this game was something really special. Especially for the era it came out in. Cant recommend it enough.
2001
Another one I played over and over. Really creative puzzle action game. They dont make em like they used to man.
2003
Great puzzle game I think about all the time. Dont have a disc with it anymore and its near impossible to find anywhere, but the game is awesome.
2002
I played it over and over as a kid. Really unique idea for a puzzle game. Highly recommend it.
It was cool. I remember getting it in a video game magazine. Never beat it, but I recall it being pretty open ended and fun. Maybe I'll replay it one day.
Grew up with this one. I found it super scary as a kid, but it was also super fun picking up everything all over the place and figuring out what to use on what. Super fun point n click adventure game.
1997
This is a childhood favourite of mine. Brutally difficult, but still am amazing platformer.
2018
I am not gonna beat around the bush. This game was not fun. At all. I'll give it a benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was just this remake, but it was such jank from start to finish. I was relieved when the credits rolled. RIP my girl Popoi tho its messed up what they did to ya. Considering the game's legacy, I feel like it deserved a remake at the scale of Trials of Mana instead of this janky mobile game tier thing. Gah I'm gonna remember this as a bitter experience :/
Might just have to put this on my best of all time list. This was such a good game... I really hope they release SO Blue Sphere soon as well. Either as DLC or as a full release. I need more Claude and Rena. But yeah besides Blue Sphere, I have now finished every Star Ocean game! Woooo!
What a gut punch at the end...
But yeah, funny game for most of the run. Zack is such a lovable dork and I'm even more curious what Part 3 is gonna do with him. I actually played around half of the psp original but never finished it, but I will say I think I prefer the original lower polygon look? Also the new voice for Zack I just did not like cuz it just felt like a bad imitation of the old voice. But anyways, the game ending was probably not as hardhitting as it would've been back in the day (cuz of remake shenanigans), but it was still amazing. It was also nice to finally get more context on Genesis, since I played Dirge as a kid and had no idea who this bozo was. But yeah I'm also mega curious how Square will tackle Dirge of Cerberus when we get to it.

Not often does a game capture my heart quite like this. I had a stupid grin from beginning till end, and I couldn't put it down since launch. Every day, just thinking about getting back from class just to get a little further, just like I used to when I was a kid. It really did recapture the magic of the original whilst masterfully adding to it. Nothing short of a masterpiece. Writing this as credits roll at 2am, with my in game timer being roughly 90 hrs. I never expected this to be as content rich as it was. But I did all the world intel quests as well. Maybe I'll go for a platinum too? It really was that good that I might go for it.
Tomb Raider 1:
Couldn't earn the game completion trophy due to a power outage which corrupted my save (ON THE LAST LEVEL TOO), and I couldn't be bothered to play everything all over again so I cheated to get back to the last level. It really dampened my feeling of accomplishment. But that aside, I had a blast with this! It was so fun to replay this classic with a new coat of paint. It was lovely. Honestly big recommendation from me already. Excited to go to 2 now. I played these games all the time with my mom as a kid so this rerelease in general feels really special to me.
[Will update after beating 2 and 3]
