2018

It's fine but it feels like most people who love it just want to play the exact same retro FPS until the sun burns out and are deathly allergic to innovation

Silent Hill by the way of How To Draw Manga

it's like if Titanfall 2 and E.Y.E. had a baby that got dropped on its head on birth

Ironically enough, anything actually special about the Tag Force games got completely stripped away here in favor of straight-up dueling and not much else. At least nearly every single anime-exclusive card is now playable from its own pack, which is cute.
It's always funny seeing these "series compilation" games try handling a season that has barely had any substantial story content yet. Like this game treating Shun as the main antagonist of Arc-V, Legacy of the Duelist giving Yuto a Satellarknight deck with three Dark Rebellion in the ED, or Link Evolution's Vrains route having only a Knight of Hanoi as a villain. And by "funny", I mean desperate

Imagine resurrecting a series after nearly 35 years just to make it Worse Dead Cells

In an attempt to diversify their somewhat homogenous portfolio, Platinum created an action game that has zero charm and controls like shit on purpose

i keep buying pepsi instead of coke to this day because i'm afraid if i don't Pepsiman will come to my house and crush my nuts like a can of soda

2020

Do you like being handholded? No? You'd prefer having your hand ran through a woodchipper instead? Boy do I have a game for you!

Megaman X1 but everything's a little... off. It's like playing the original game in a dream.

Should've just went ahead with the Japanese title and translated it as MEGAMAN MEGAMAN

When are we collectively gonna admit that Shantae games need to start doing something drastically different with their gameplay instead of selling themselves exclusively on the character designs

Transcendent core gameplay, mediocre 7th-gen jank everything else.

Even without the map editor that allowed you to make anything from Dragon Ball RPGs to top-down Quake 3, this would still be one of the greatest games ever made.
