Charming but definitely reliant on nostalgia. Still fun though, and iconic edutainment for sure.

Manages to be infinitely charming despite having nightmarish hazards in every dungeon. You may need a guide just to find all the equipment you need to beat the game, but it'll be worth it because at one point Rock wears an apron.
Mega Man Legends 2

Mega Man Legends was an ambitious title for the franchise, and 2 continues that trend by adding more characters, lore, and locations. Honestly with how big the opening cinematic for this game is, clocking in over 9 minutes for just starting up the game, Legends 2 truly doesn't want to play around with it's story this time.
I'm not going to lie to you, this game is a bit confusing the first time around, from just the sheer amount of info we get before the title screen, and all the neat lore dumps throughout, Legends 2 is constantly building on some sort of pay off. Literally from the start we are introduced to a new character, Roll's mom, and figuring out where she has been the whole time. Throughout your search, you start encountering more and more enemies, mystery reapers, and of course, the Bonnies. The game does it's best to build on the lore and legends that the first game set up, and does it so well that fans are still glamoring for a sequel. Which is a little sad considering it's been roughly 20 years without even a hope of one.
As for gameplay, thankfully Legends 2 doesn't have the awful difficulty spike of the first game near the end, but it is still quite a spike in difficulty. It's honestly kinda astonishing how the rest of the game is fairly capable of being played through with little to no worries, till at the end where the final boss just really kicks your ass.Thankfully you just have to be a little more prepared compared to grinding for levels. Dungeon design is even better than the last one with a number of dungeons having themes to them or an overall mystery to what the boss is and how you'll face them.
Really each time I think about Mega Man Legends 2, I think what a shame that all the lore and set up did for what amounted to nothing because we didn't get a sequel. Not that this game was bad, just that it set up everything so well that it's a wonder this part of the franchise gets nothing in return.Maybe someday we can actually get Mega Man Legends 3, but Legends 2 is still a great game built off the first.

The most painful cliffhanger in gaming history. Capcom is sadistic.

I almost always played Freeride when I was younger and just fucked around on the maps while vibing out to that immaculate soundtrack, but actually returning to the game and properly engaging with the content revealed a super solid racing game, even if a handful of the maps are pretty weak.

A lot of memories of this, and while it didn't quite stick as a game that made me fall in love with ATVs or anything like that, I definitely think fondly of it.

If you didn't spend hours going to the edge of the freeroam map and getting launched what were you doing with your childhood?

One of my favorite musou games.
The best in the series. Absolute recommendation for Gundam fans.
Solves problems from 1 while adding more. Before the drastic rebalancing of 3.
Tons of content. Unique ways to unlock character's story missions.
You wanna play it the more Gundam you know.
Only drawback is Seed Destiny is the newest series.
