fuck this game
what if we made a new plants vs zombies game but made it bad
got better as it went on but is kinda plagued by the first 33% of the game or so which is just kinda so/so. also hurt my eyes to look at sometimes
2019
beating this game was the best experience i've ever had playing a video game
2016
everything from the art to the music to the combat to the exploration is perfect to me. i think i first played this in 2019 after watching my brother play it and listening to the soundtrack when doing homework lol (extra shoutout to the music it definitely has my favorite soundtrack to any game). super fun and tight gameplay, tons of little secrets spread around everywhere, and such a cool fucking aesthetic. theres like 50 other things i love about it too but im gonna sound lame if i keep listing them so instead you should just play the game
2008
the wheel of death was the greatest test of skill 10 year old me had ever faced and still may be greater than most i've faced since then
2019
i wish the type matchups mattered in these games past the halfway mark, once my pokemon started being a few levels higher on average against everything i was facing there was just no challenge left unfortunately
would have probably rated it higher if the online servers for the game weren't powered by a man turning a crank in the attic of sakurai's office and if nintendo didn't fine you $50,000 if somebody purchases a sandwich at a tournament you run for it
2019
HOLYYYYY SHIT
2017
so like what's even the main guy's name anyway
2018
a rare case in which the game is more fun the worse you are at it
game is honestly very fun until the developers remember that elden ring sold a lot of copies and then they throw you a random boss fight which is a huge spike in difficulty compared to all the regular gameplay before and after it
if i played this after tears of the kingdom i'd probably have rated it 4 stars but it gets the extra .5 just for nostalgia of exploring the map for the first time when i first played it. wish there were more scenes with daruk in it though that would have maybe been another extra .5
finally the apex legends killer is here
2009
i feel like i'm crazy every time i see somebody rank this as one of the best entries in the series, maybe i'm lacking nostalgia that people might have or maybe it just never ended up clicking with me but i felt like the combat was pretty clunky and badly aged and the story was mostly uninteresting except for the beginning and end kinda. at least it set up god of war 3 to be sick as hell
