Solid little game meant to mimic the older Paper Mario titles which it does a fantastic job doing. The characters don't have as much pizzazz as Paper Mario, but they definitely are cute and work for this story. Villain is a little half-baked, but still threatening in the end. The final chapter has a very strange difficulty spike in it, but if you master the battle system, you won't have any trouble after the initial shock of enemies nearly killing you in one round. Lots of side quests to do. It's just very nice little callback to an era of games we won't be seeing much of anymore.

Back in the day this was considered a trendy "favorite Zelda game" pick, now it is just generally accepted that this game is extremely good and rivals OoT for best Zelda game. I am one of those people that say it is the best, it has the best boss battle (Goht), the best Zelda dungeon (Stone Tower Temple) and the best side quests. There may only be 4 main dungeons in my the game, but every single one is a complete banger with really fun designs and puzzles. And the challenge of doing as much as you can in as little cycles as you can always drives more replayability. There's a couple of things working against it: The Owl Statue Save System, Gyorg, Zora Egg hunting, the Octorok Shooting Gallery, but those are largely outweighed by every good thing it does. Also, best swimming controls in any game bar none. Zora Link is phenomenal.

Easily my favorite battle system in any action game I have ever played. The amount of combos you can do with your Legion is fantastic and I loved doing all the little side missions. Story is definitely there, but it's nothing spectacular, and the characters are fairly enjoyable for what they are. Super fast paced action scenes are leveled out by some slower police work which was also enjoyable. I didn't believe the Gamestop employee when he said "This is the best game of 2019", but I am a believer now. Extremely satisfying and fun

Pretty fun RPG with 108 recruitable players so there's a lot of customization in parties, until you have to include certain members in your party. The Rune system is simple, but it's still pretty enjoyable even if the main character basically has a "win now" Rune which kind of breaks battles. Regular battles go by rather quickly because each character's turn flows into the others so well (as long as you're not spamming Runes). I only Game Overed once due to lack of planning, but the game is pretty easy all things considered. My biggest complaint is the lack of diverse battle music. There's really only 2 battle tracks the whole game, and the movement speed sans True Holy Rune is kind of a slog. There's a lot of backtracking to get all 108 Stars of Destiny and the inventory management is... Less than stellar. The variety of battle styles is really neat and a fun idea, but the large scale battles are easy to cheese. It's a fun RPG to run through with quite a bit of customization with parties which increases replayability.

Having never played a Monster Hunter game before, this is a great entry point I feel. I will knock it for going heavy on the tutorials in the first hour of the game, but once you get rolling, there's a lot to explore and gather. Obviously the big draw is the monster fights which are fantastic. Trying out a bunch of weapons to see what playstyle works is also incredibly enjoyable. I play with a lot with my friends on the weekends and it is a rip roaring good time. I will admit the single player is a little stale after a while, but the multiplayer is where this game really shines.
Fuck the Khezu though. I hate that penis monster
