As someone who was really dissapointed with Yakuza 6, I can confidently say this is a much better game. Everything here was better than yakuza 6, whatever It will be the story or the gameplay. In fact, I would even go far as say this is the best yakuza game since 0, which is my favorite in the entire series.

Story and characters here are really strong, I liked all the characters in this game, which is rare for a yakuza game. Mini games and substories were still wonderful, although yakuza 0 still takes the cake when it comes to substories.

New fighthing style for kiryu was really unexpected but holy shit, he literally becomes batman with it, its just way too cool, I'm glad they added it, It sparked up the gameplay very nicely. Also, final boss in this game is one of the best, everything about it was just kino.

Last few scenes in this game will always stick with me, I never though I would cry this hard for a yakuza game but here we are, It really solidifed my love for kiryu and his journey.

Almost a perfect sequel that improves on many things from the original, which was already a fantastic platformer game that still holds up to this day. One thing that the original does better is the story overall, but that by no means Klonoa 2's story is not good or anything, thematically it was still quite excellent, but I thought the og had more impact. Luckily, in everything else, I found this to be an improvement over the original.

Missions were solid all around, I didn't had any problem with them. Snowboard missions were a nice touch that spiced up the gameplay with a much needed variety and I thought it was really fun. Kingdom of Sorrow mission was a highlight for me, because of the atmosphere and that goddamn soundtrack... it was just perfect.

This is undoubtedly my favourite platformer game.

After playing through Extra and Unlimited, I was really excited to finally play Muv-Luv Alternative. While I wasn't a fan of both of those visual novels, Unlimited still managed to get me excited for Alternative. However, after reading through Alternative, I'm really conflicted about how I feel about this game.

Highs of the story were really good, But overall, there were so many redundant and convoluted info-dumps that the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

When it comes to the characters, they were undoubtedly better developed here than ever before. However, I still couldn't connect or care about most of them, except for Meiya and Yuuko, who were my favorite characters in Muv-Luv. They were the main reason I stuck through the boring parts. I wonder if I would have liked the ending better if they had focused more on character development instead of those ridiculously stupid expositions.

The romance was one of the weakest points of this visual novel. I wasn't invested in the Sumika and Takeru pairing at all. I just wish they were better developed overall, and it didn't help that I wasn't crazy about both of those characters either.

The presentation definitely deserves some praise, particularly the beautiful OST. However, I don't consider this game a masterpiece or anything, but it was still worthwhile to see what the hype around this series was. I just wish some aspects had been handled better. There was a lot of wasted potential in my opinion.
