i would surprisingly go as far to say the best thing about this game is the soundtrack album that released a year after the original 64dd game. Seriously one of the coolest listens ever, as well as asano’s other albums (Genny Haniver and Spacewatch) offering much more different but equally amazing atmospheric post rock in general.

I get why people complain about the lack of gameplay for doshin the giant but I personally really really love what this game is going for, a chill experience with what seems like little to do at first, but grows into an experience you end up enjoying because you realize the relaxing vibes are really all it goes for. I also kind of like to treat it as some avant garde thing as well, with the interesting themes of uhh… the cycle of life explored especially near the ending which I imagine can be left to many different interpretations. Still really love this game standing on its own as one of the most fascinating things Nintendo technically released still, and the fact that it was a 64dd exclusive game at first of all things is incredible to me.
