An NES classic that's aged incredibly, arguably better than some 16-bit games. Definitely pick this up if you're looking for a fun action platformer.

This holds a special little place in my heart, a sweet heartwarming gem that I uh...totally...played legitimately.

I absolutely adore this gem, but for the fact the game is quite evidently unfinished, I do have to knock off quite a few points. It's a shame since this is honestly the peak of Star Wars storytelling for me.

While it has it's negatives I've thoroughly enjoyed both the single player and multiplayer of Red Earth. It's still stunning today, and my word are the buttons snappy.

It's a fun competitive point and click but builds/recipes can get really samey, and recovery times are a ballache.

Unfortunately not what I'm looking for in my Metroidvanias. There's quality stuff here but it missed the nail's head in my books.

Kind of touchy but I'd go so far as to say this is a better game than the actual crowdfunded product. It's the classic structure with gorgeous spritework and banging music.

An unfortunately disappointing follow-up to one of my all time favourites. Setting the record straight, the game is more satisfying without this DLC.

I will never tire of this game. The soundtrack, the 2.5D aesthetics, and just how fun and simple the gameplay is. Truly timeless.

Helped me through a difficult time in a way I never thought a game could. It's just wonderful from start to finish, and I can't recommend it more.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the full package. It does everything right. That's all I can really say.

2010

I can't really put it into words but this is always going to be a contender for my most favourite game of all time. That being said, it does have glaring faults that shouldn't be ignored, so I am docking points. Still, Papa Nier for life.

I really appreciate my time with this game, I've made some truly meaningful connections while playing it, but I simply don't think I can continue with it. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but these live servicey things just aren't for me.

Do not get me wrong: this is arguably my most favourite game of all time. But I have to acknowledge the game's drawbacks here, and because of that, I have to knock it back a star. This game is, however, one of the most compelling and heartwrenching stories in gaming, and is something that truly means a lot to me.

As far as KOF goes I still consider this the peak. Incredible roster, great use of the tagging system, and just overall the most fun I've had playing the series. Sure it's not one of the historical favourites but it really has a ton of it's own unique charm that I enjoy.
