I honestly think playing dreamcast rayman 2 on the go is pretty dope despite the occasional glitch

I think this is the most fun I've ever had with a Metroid game. I still prefer Super for its atmosphere and supreme OST, but DAMMMMNN. Also, wtf, the bosses go fucking hard.

I never got into metroid as a kid. It felt too edgy for me I guess. Now that I'm playing all sorts of new franchises, I decided to give it a shot. A friend told me about this game, so I started with this one. Holy shit. It might be up there in my top 5 fav games. There's a lot to like about this game, but I feel what I loved the most was exploring it. Often times when I explore a platformer world I either find it a bit linear or get lost and have no incentive to keep going without a guide. Here, anything I did felt like a huge deal. Every little discovery was crazy. Whenever there was a shift in tone, I felt it. Even finding more missile ammo upgrades made me feel accomplished. Also, the grip this game had on me was one no game has had on me for a whiiile. Like i sometimes got mad I had to leave the game and do something else. Not to mention the ost and storytelling through scenery and atmosphere. Dope game.

I don't know enough about the community to know whether this is a hot take or not; but here it goes:
I loved this game and its characters, but I HATED playing it and will most likely never do so again.
The themes and personality this game portrays feel very real and get dark af. Noone in this game gets a happy ending, but the message still manages to be positive and hopeful.
9S' development in the story is one of the craziest I've ever seen. He started off being the quirky goofy sidekick and turned into the most emotionally broken, resentful character in the entire game.
The music is heavenly. God tier OST.
What I absolutely HATE about this game is the gameplay. I don't really know how to put it into words, it's just so boring to play. I always find myself complaining the second a cutscene ends, cus I know it's back to mashing buttons and just waiting for the health bars to drop. The only hard parts in this game are not so much challenging, but tedious and annoying. Mostly enemy spam tbh.
Strangely however, I feel like the amount of suffering I go through when playing makes me connect more with the characters (?). I still hate it, but it's somehow perfect.
All in all, a masterpiece, but I can't bring myself to give it 5 stars.

First castlevania I've ever played. Its fun, frustrating in a good way and the ost is just... Well, give this rendition of bloody tears a listen. Youll get the jist.

I know they could've added more Rayman references, I know the stage sets are a bit underwhelming, considering the potential a Rayman-themed world could have, and I know people expected some sort of nod to a new Rayman game in the 100% message. However, I can't begin to explain how happy and exciting this whole experience was. It could've been A LOT worse. This really felt like a love letter to Rayman fans, and you can tell the people behind it were passionate. Not to mention Ubisoft actually acknowledged the Rabbids taking over Rayman situation, and Mr. Dark was a name that was said OUT LOUD. The Rayman I love is back, and I can't afford to give a rating lower than 5 stars.

I don't know where to start with this game. From the very beginning, it was able to break me down. You'd expect someone dying in the first hour of gameplay not to be that devastating, as you barely know any of the characters, but it sure was. Hinawa's death, Flint's reaction, even Lucas and Claus who barely say anything in that scene had me sobbing.
But that's literally the beginning. The rest of the game goes so hard, manages to get better and better as it goes, and never gets boring. I don't usually play RPGs because of the grind and battle system, but this game somehow is able to be as fun as DMC3 but with turn based combat. The amount of mind games and planning in-battle was peak and constantly made me tense up as I fought to stay alive.
To noone's surprise, the OST is god-tier.
The ending got me so emotional, I honestly can't hear Love Theme without crying anymore. There is only ONE other thing in this planet that makes me cry as heavily and consistently as that whole sequence: my 2nd favorite movie, Fox and the Hound. And trust me, that movie is everything to me.
If I didn't love Mario RPG, Rayman 2 and Super Paper Mario as much as I do, this game would've no doubt made the top 3.

I actually liked this game more than I expected. The levels stay pretty loyal to the source game, while still being different; and they even managed to make the last boss feel satisfying, cus this time you actually get to beat Mr. Dark. The ost is a weird mix between groovy and ear bleeding (Not to mention its pretty much the Rayman 2 ost in 8 bit format). It was ok, my fav thing were Rayman's lines. Like, he did not mess around.
