A cozy little Kelogg’s Variety Pak of a game where the what it offers is fun and cozy but too shallow to have much depth to really sink your teeth into and there’s a couple of less good cereals in the mix as well.
For every enjoyable costume like Swordfighter, Kung Fu and Dashing Thief… you get sluggish, mind dullingly easy and even annoying ones like Mermaid, Detective and Patisserie.

Overall an enjoyable little time that fills the cozy vibes platformer hole in my heart that hasn’t had a Yoshi game to play in a while

I'm so glad this game came to consoles cause I was worried I was gonna miss out and what is now one of my favourite 2D Platformers ever.
The improvements compared to the first game are astronomical. I like the hub areas giving the world a more connected feeling. The level aesthetics are some of the most beautiful I've seen in a 2D sprite based game and the main 4 cast are some of the most enjoyable main casts to watch interact with i've watched in recent memory.

Only done Lilac so far but I am absolutely coming back to do the other campaigns real soon! I love this game so much!

What started as a curiosity buy might just end up being one of the big hidden gems of 2024 for me
The game is oozing with a captivating style and energy, the movement and techniques you unlock on your travels make for some incredibly fun traversal and delightfully tricky platforming, the combat is delightfully satisfying when you start learning all the little intricacies and crazy techniques you can pull all wrapped together by some incredible boss fights that are a delightful sight to behold.

Admittedly my one criticism is that all this greatness (at least on Switch) seems to struggle with its performance. Had many instances of frame rate dips, animation glitches, even a couple crashes and soft locks. But if you can look past those occasional hiccups and are looking for something to scratch that metroidvania itch… I cannot reccommend this game enough

Congrats PoP… you’ve found a new fan in me!

Takes the things I liked from both 0 and Kiwami 1, mixes in some amazing quality of life of life improvements and makes this game my personal favourite in the series so far.
I’d say the one draw back is that there isn’t as much to mess around with for compared having only one fighting style compared to Kiwami 1’s 3 but everything about this game was a major step up from that game.

The more varied and down right bonkers side stories are some of the best I’ve experienced so far. A really fun amount of extra minigames that I’m pretty sure I barely scratched the surface on. And a really engaging story filled with twists, turns and memorable moments.
A must play for anyone out there

A few rough and undercooked spots can’t stop me thinking this is one of the most fun and satisfying platformers to just move around in. Everything about this game is just oozing with a unique charm and it’s topped off with some of Tee Lopes finest work as a composer.
If you’re looking for an indie game to play his year. I cannot reccommend this enough

It's not often a games ending makes me genuinely get emotional. And boy howdy did this game do that in spades.
An incredibly emotional story with one of the best main casts I've seen in an RPG. A surprising amount to do between Social Links and the various Requests from Elizabeth.

My only small gripe is that after a while the trips to Tartarus did get a little boring after a while... I never thought I'd miss Mementos but aside from that one little issue. We have a genuine leading contender for my GOTY

Never thought we’d see a Splatoon rouge like but man this might be my favourite of the two sploon DLC’s, the gameplay loop is incredibly addicting. The difficulty ramps up just the right amount to get your heart racing, the level of customisation makes it really satisfying when you’re just a force of nature towards the end.
Admittedly I would have liked a bit more story and such but for what we got, this was a great time

(Also Pearl and Marina are absolute sweethearts and I wish them a lovely marriage)

I don't think anyone could have expected for the CD-I Zelda's of all things to get some kind of Indie retro revivial and I for one was genuinely surprised at how much fun I had with it.

I has this worry going in that the "Haha lol it's a CD-I" game concept would lose its charm and I'd be left with a kinda meh game or that this homage would be done in bad faith and be really cynical. But no has a genuine appreciation for its inspiration and manages to combine that with some really fun mechanics to give it its own unique feel amongst the countless Indie 2D Metroidvania Platformers.

Really enjoyed myself with this and from how the game ends... I am extremely excited about a potential sequel

A classic Kirby game that has been on my to do list for years and after finally playing it. I would genuinely consider it my favourite of the pre Wii/3DS era Kirby's

Being able to fuse your abilties is such a fun thing to mess around with and makes up for how few abilities there are in the game overall, the game looks amazing and aside from a couple collectables was a comfortable breeze.

Highly Reccommend (though those playing on the Switch NSO might find it uncomfortable because of where the D-Pad is placed)

While the side content felt in really bland in comparison. The gripping and emotional main story certainly made up for it.
Highlight of the game is Majima. He’s definitely where a lot of the insane energy that I loved about 0 was put into and by god it is insane the things this man does.
Overall a really good time that’s on par with 0 in a lot of ways and has me incredibly excited to try Kiwami 2

Apparently I wasn't done with Megaman after blasting through 8 so I wrapped this up in about an hour.
Was the first Megaman I ever played growing up so I have a bit of a nostalgic bias to some parts of it but I think this is a super fun Megaman game and a really good beginners first Megaman with the extra difficulty options and others a fair bit of replay value with Protoman and Bass as additional characters

What started as just something silly to cheer myself up (which the questionable voice acting did in spades) ended up being what I would consider one of my favourite Classic Megaman games.

Loved the variety in the levels, the weapons being used to help with the platforming was cool and I wish it was expanded upon and it's the graphical detail of the PS1 does absolute wonders for the Classic's more cartoony artstyle.

Loved it

Been meaning to get into this series for ages and man... what an amazing first impression this game gave me. Engaging story, Over the top combat, the sheer amount of things to do. it was incredible and definetly a game series I can see myself coming back to

Loved the atmosphere and the movement mechanics felt so fluid and fun to mess around with. Noticed a few performance issues and I feel the combat is definetly very bare bones but for what the game does right. It knocks it out of the park

I've always wondered what a Zelda game would be like if I was playing as Ben 10...
Honestly a really fun concept for an adventure game that is sadly let down by some frustrating mechanics and aggravating low points. Game looks really nice at the very least
