Ocelot is such a twink in this one.
A truly charming series of games filled with passion! Love how these games build up a nice little world with delightful characters and they have a very particular kind of humour that tickles my funnybone.

A really lived in and thought out world will be one of the first things you notice about this but it's also a surprisingly addictive game.

The beauty of community, friendship, family, and gaming is wonderfully explored in this.

An endlessly quotable game that's filled with so much imagination, humour, charm, and spunk.
The music is spectacular and really gets you in the mood to do some rolling! The concept of having to roll stuff up into your ball to the point of eventually swallowing up a building is just brilliant. Gameplay wise this is very satisfying to handle although controlling the camera can be a nightmare at times.
They took a lot of the great elements out of this like some neat gameplay mechanics, the character designs are lesser, missions have been nerfed and cutscenes have been cut or altered which includes the ending! The bugs, glitches, and pop-ins were all just relentless throughout my playthrough and truly defeated the purpose of this remake's existence.

Why would I want to leave and not stay dancing the night away with the people underground?!?!
Turnip Boy is a menace and must be stopped.
The war economy
The main drive of this game is to leave behind the farm and community and I adored how that central idea becomes more melancholic as you play because you slowly become a resident of this town and a friend to the people living there. You grow tired of the maintenance of the farm and so start to branch out and connect with the characters but in so doing it makes it harder to want to abandon them for the nebulous goal of going somewhere that's green. This is what I love about video games, you can be lured in with a simple gameplay style that eventually transforms into a vehicle to tap into the human condition and leave you feeling things in a certain way that many other mediums cannot do.

Metal Gear?
The music has forever been burned into my brain since I played this game over and over again as a kid. I really do love the vibrant world that this takes place in and how you slowly start to free it from the rule of these evil swine.
