Masterclass combat with a satisfying difficulty curve the only flaw that I can speak on is probably the fact that there was a cutscene in every new room you entered

Kino loved this as a kid replayed it and only grew more fond of it.

Should of been 3 lords in one character.

Nothing I've read has made me feel so uncomfortable but enamoured with it. Peak higurashi

All the lore is stuck in the last 3 hours of gameplay, you could jump headfirst into this one and be less confused than someone who's played the entire series.

Kingdom hearts game for people who haven't played kingdom hearts.

Quite possibly my favourite thing in the entire world

Games aged terribly but there's still worth in playing it.

Casually it's the most fun games since brawl.
Competitively it's hot dog water.

The 6f input delay combined with wifi input delay creates a whole different meta online. The buffer system was designed by satan. WHY DO SHORT HOPS GET SO MUCH PRIORITY???? Makes the game feel like garbage.

First some smaller issues I had with p5, final palace is the best arc in the entire persona series.

Literally can't remember a thing apart from patricide.

by allah my prayers have been answered

Cold steel 2 was a significant improvement from 1, all the problems I had with the first game were fixed as well as expanding upon the things I liked. However as an event that's been teased for like 4 games this feels extraordinarily lackluster. I understand this was a personal journey for Rean but you'd think a civil war that's been teased since like 4 games ago would be on a grander scale.

Obviously Rean isn't on the frontlines so he won't see the brunt of it but I didn't feel any significant change in most of the environments or any tension when visiting a town. I know one of the ways they tried to make us feel the effects of the war was by not allowing travel between towns but that feels meaningless when you couldn't even do it in the first game. I felt more immersed during sky fcs final chapters.

To summarises my point there was a drastic lack of change the war brought between Cold Steel 1 and 2. The things I could do in 1 I could still do in 2 despite fighting a losing war. This disconnect between the narrative and the gameplay felt jarring as hell.

Top 1 superhero game insomniac goated.

As a big Spider-Man fan this is everything I wanted in a game and more. Insomniac have mastered the swinging created a competent PETER FUCKING PARKER that still suffers under the weight of his choices.

Deadass haven't loved any Spider-Man media since the Bendis Ultimate run.

Luke's character arc in conjunction with the party has cemented Abyss' cast as the best in my mind

Most fuck shit 3d fighter i've played. Stamina build Earthling + KaiokenX3/20 + That move that increases stamina for ki + Meteor crash + Blue hurricane is UNBEATABLE.
