Yes - I was that bad that I effectively spent 12 hours dying and retrying boss fights.

Main game was fine, scaling, frame rate and graphic issues aside. But this first DLC is boring me to tears. Open worlds are great when there's lots to do, but run from checkpoint to checkpoint quickly gets tiresome.

A sweet little game that packs a lot into a little. There's definitely replay ability despite finishing the whol game in 1-2 hours.

I can't tell you how many hours I put into THPS2 on the PC using just a qwerty keyboard. So to play it again, with updated graphics, and the mechanics of later games has been an absolute joy. I also missed out on THPS so in a way half of it felt like a new game to me which is just a bonus. For the longest time this was my 'dip in' game, racking up close to 100 hours.

Might be hyperbolic to say a game changed your life, but I played this at just the right time, and it sent me down the rabbit hole of JRPGs which has defined my last year or more of gaming.

The story struck a chord, the music is glorious, and I just had a blast exploring, completing quests, and being in that world.

I gave it a good 25-30 hours before giving up, but this (and BOTW) just aren't what I want for a Zelda game. Nothing against those who adore this new style, just doesn't do it for me.

Bit of a slow burner, but a fun loop once you really get into it. Annoyingly I triggered the end game before I was ready, and traded it in once I finished. But ever since I've had a hankering to go back to it, and just play a bit longer in this world.

I just couldn't take to this. I appreciate what they did to change up the levels in creative ways, but every time I sat down with it I just got a bit bored, before eventually giving up.

I enjoyed how open to interpretation it was. Like I saw a parent and child and exploring ideas of work and play, and letting work get in the way of quality time and stifling creativity. There was probably more but it's been a while since I played.

Way more affecting than I'd expected it to be. Goes to some pretty dark places. Does a lot with a little.

One of my favourites. The game that introduced me to both a franchise and a genre.

X2 speed waas a game changer. I don't think I've ever had such a good team as this last run.

I died a lot at first, but a solid game. Good to see where it started.

It's gets a bit of a bad wrap for being the 'the long one'. But honestly I loved the short episodic nature of this adventure. Collecting the mcguffins, seeing these towns in the past, and going back to explore in the new present was always something I found really interesting. I have a lot of time for this game, not least because it was the game that got me back into hand held gaming.

I had a lot of fun with this. Definitely a game that has aged well.
