Alright, I'll admit it: I was wrong. I don't have too much to say but man, after beating this I can absolutely understand why it was such a monumental game. Brilliant final chapter and ending.

Original review:
After beating the original Portal, I started this one immediately with hopes of it being better than the first. The voice acting and story of the beginning was super great and fun, but around chapter 3 I believe, I just kinda... lost interest. The puzzles became something you have to spend a long time thinking about and trying things, I honestly preferred the much quicker pace of the first game. That's just me being dumb and being bad at puzzle solving, though.

It hurts to say, but SIFAS really disappointed me. I waited over a year for it to come out just to give up on it within a couple weeks. SIF was already complicated enough to understand, and all this game did was add more confusing mechanics onto that. It's more of an RPG than a rhythm game, it is impossible to pass songs unless you completely understand every other part of the game, and that just ruins everything for me. I love the art, I love the stories, I love the visuals, it's just such a shame that they had to make the game so hard to want to play.

Good enough collection, my first opportunity playing Mario Sunshine and I'm enjoying that game quite a bit. However, this collection is as bare-bones as you can get. Having the three games and their soundtracks is not enough when this was supposed to be a celebration of Mario's anniversary. There's so much more that could have been included. At the very least, scans of all the manuals, concept art, just something fun to keep me entertained while not playing a game. I'm really passionate about keeping the legacy of older games going, and this feels like Nintendo doesn't share that. I hate corporate Nintendo, bring back the passion.
