I really like how Mario looks in this game, and even on promotional material! It fits the vibe they were going with, just changed to fit the new aesthetic. I had earned a Gamestop reward of a giant Sticker Star era Paper Mario sticker, and I proudly slapped it on my wall!

The music as always is so phenomenal to this game. Zero Escape has always had great music, and ZTD is no different. Carlos is a character that makes me laugh at his mere presence, and that's not at all at him but with him. His demeaner is this kind of stoic, helpful guy, but he ends up not being the brightest because of it. The puzzles in this game meshed with my brain far better than any previous entry in the series.

I love Manjula! The music to it is one of the composer's best songs, and I really like how nice it looks. The DLC with the Ice Castle has a really cool vibe to it, since I'm a sucker for snow areas. Having my friends at my aid was a fun experience!

I absolutely love the look to this game! The backgrounds are extremely polished, animations are fantastic, Sonic as a character looks fantastic, the music itself is iconic in every way. I love how weird and bizzare the special stages are!

I love how ambitious this game is and how there's vehicles, weapons, shmup sections, and like a billion different endings. I like the music here, it's a bit of an extension to Shadow's motifs in SA2, but taken in a different type of dark direction.

Conceptually, the mechanic to dash into enemies is cool. I like 9's design, and his cute little partner. There's a shark boss or something I remember liking but it's been too long since I last played the game.

It's a Mario game, so controlling the game feels great! I really like the isometric look to the game.

I absolutely love the music to this game, I'm a massive simp for Shoji Meguro's music so much so that it's a given. Even the original score is amazing and fits the tone given here. I like the art direction here, especially when the game leans into the more abstract, like with the Velvet Room the large pink tree where you first gain your powers, the final boss. I think Philemon is an incredibly interesting character and concept, and I'm in love with his design. Same with all the other characters/personas here, the designs are iconic, and with good reason.

The 4th case is amazing! One of the best in the entire series with how they flip everything on it's head! The charm of the first game is still there in terms of writing, along with the characters as well. I love Franziska as a villain, and I love her character arc here as a character!

The music to this game is phenomenal, I love it. I love Claudio, he's such a ball of positive energy that's easy to like. I love the weird, bizzare abstractions the game does, it's incredibly effective.

The character designs for this game are great. I liked exploring the world, which is very pretty to look at.

Really nice locals in this game! I like the box art, I think it's emblematic to the game and sells it well. The trailer for Dead Island was incredibly effective and memorable!

The title theme music is one of my favorites from Akira Yamaoka! I love soft pianos, and the composition is incredibly haunting. The transitions from the real world to the other world has really stuck with me over the years. I liked Alex as a protagonist, (at least, from what I remember, it's been so long since I've actually played the game.)
