I'm a big fan of emulation, retro games, ROM hacks, and Nintendo! I game on PC, but also on my 3DS from time to time.
RATING SYSTEM:
Half a star is one point. So for example, a 3 and a half star rating is a 7/10. My ratings are based on overall enjoyment and vibes, don't take them too seriously lol.

I finished the first season of the Fallout TV show on Amazon, and it was pretty good! Since it's considered canon to the games' timeline/lore, I thought it'd be time to get into this franchise. Fallout 76 is the first entry in the timeline, and I thought I'd have no issues playing it after all these years it's been released. Little did I know that it's still a big mess to deal with...Here are all the issues I've encountered within the first 2 hours of playing it:
• The first time I booted up the game, I was greeted with a black screen with audio playing in the background. For some reason, the game can't run anything above 60 Hz. The only way to fix this is to change your refresh rate before you launch the game. You can then change it afterward to whatever you'd like, but I shouldn't have to do this each time.
• Running in-game just stopped working once I hit the 2-hour mark of my playthrough. Restarting the game didn't help at all, so not having the ability to run just made me not want to continue playing.
• Some sound effects were missing/muted, which killed the immersion a bit for me.
• Last but not least, the game made my PC crash TWICE! 😂

I've always been a sucker for low-poly visuals and collect-a-thons/platformers. So when I saw this recommended to me on Steam for such a low price, I just had to get it. Needlessly to say I wish this game was a lot longer and story-driven. Lots of SM64 and Rareware inspiration, but has its own unique identity. Kiwi is such a fun character to explore as, and the music and environments are a delight and give me that nostalgic feel I always itch for time and time again.
The graphics, physics, and level design improved, making it a slightly better playing experience than Episode I. The inclusion of Tails, team attack combos, and the Metal Sonic side story was a nice touch as well. It's still a dull and forgettable Sonic game, but a lot more bearable than its predecessor. I lowkey would've enjoyed an Episode III if they made one.
