The levels in this game are so well structured, and the loop of playing and replaying them feels great. I played it on the switch with all the aim assists turned on and loved every second of it. The writing is not great, but the voice actors are doing good work. This game has one of the best-feeling 1st person jumps I can think of. I'm pretty sure the music was good, but I turned it off at some point so I could watch game of thrones and play the game simultaneously and forgot to turn it back on.

I will never get tired of the shaving cream goop that sprays out of bugs when they explode.

Swimming controls were weird at first, but with a little time I really enjoyed how the character controller felt.
Loved poking my head up through the kelp skylights.
The game quotes Journey frequently, which draws unfavorable comparisons to itself, imo.
Using any fish bigger than you as a vehicle is a great mechanic.

I played this one summer listening to TV On The Radio's "Return to Cookie Mountain" on repeat and now each one reminds me of the other.
A friend bought this for me after we watched a speedrun of it and I kept raving about how much I liked the graphics. The game itself takes a minute to get used to, but settles into a surprisingly similar groove to the gamecube games, given how much its formula has been reworked to compensate for the much weaker hardware. The graphics are indeed cool and chunky, and all the music and sfx are what you would want them to be. I hated the boss fights and was always so relieved when they were over. Didn't finish it, but fond memories!
Play this like me, with a group in which everybody but one person keeps picking Joker and saying joker as much as possible.

this is what you want folks. wonderfully confident presentation, and so many more personal details than it at first seems. an autobio katamari pack-a-thon. what could be better

got stuck pretty early in this one, unfortunately. The opening scene will probably hit hard if you have recently had a baby? The environments are beautifully constructed, in that they look like a perfect recreations of nice concept paintings. But they are frequently hard to read spatially, and occasionally quite large and open, which is nice if you know what to do, but kind of awful for poor little lost me. Wasn't really in the mood for this kind of thing idk

Couldn't figure out the first major puzzle. Kind of astonishing to look at though.

Put it down during the tutorial, feeling worn out by how extra absolutely everything is. I might pick it up again. Lots of cussing and ultraviolence and jokes. yawn.

A stone cold masterpiece. probably my favorite of the three, though I replay it and Ico like every other year. It just gets better and better. (spoilers) the bit at the end where trico brings the boy back to the village makes me cry every time. take that ebert!

oof, the switch port of this. There's some absolutely, fantastically charming inventions in this thing, but the performance issues wore me down after half an hour.

likely the best weekend goof-off jam game-turned-complete work of art
