I'd never played Metroid Prime before and I'm glad I finally got to. Graphically the game is amazing, the pricing of the game is fair and the quality of life improvements make this an amazing way to play the game. I loved the atmosphere of the map, the puzzles and how Samus feels to control.
Instead of Dark Cloud 3, we got this?! :(
Incredibly disappointing, especially considering all the hype surrounding this game at time of release. Sure, it looks pretty, has that Studio Ghibli charm, and has a decent enough soundtrack including a fantastic main theme... but otherwise, this game just didn't connect with me.
I feel much of the game's praise came from the time period when this game came out... JRPGs were a dying breed, and many a gaming journalist thought the genre was fated to go the way of the dinosaur. Fast-forward to 2023, and thankfully, that did not come to pass. In fact, I'd say we had a 2nd resurgence of JRPGs, after the golden age of the 90s, and are now in its renaissance era.
Back to Ni No Kuni... I was not a fan of the game's monster/familiar battle system at all - it seemingly tried combining a handful of things together to see what would stick, and it just felt overall messy and not a lot of fun.
I would recommend it to young kids as a first JRPG though. They'll love the gorgeous art style and Studio Ghibli storyline.
