Really good remake of one of my favorite Zelda games. The dungeon builder stuff with Dampé isn't very good though and this probably should've been a $40 game.
1997
I love everything about this game. Probably my personal favorite in the X series.
It's a great fighting game with a fantastic roster, and the single player features like Classic mode and World of Light are all fantastic. However, as lockdowns for COVID started and I was forced to come to grips with how bad the online is, everytime I play this game I get frustrated with how awful the netcode is. It's simultaneously a great and awful game. I have no desire to play this unless rollback netcode is implemented or I can start playing it irl with other people again. I can't in good consciousness give this a good rating with how broken the online is. To make matters worse, most of the playerbase refuses to use ethernet cables, and it has all kinds of other technical issues like built-in input lag. even Smash 4 online was better than this.
2008
One of the best action games of all time. The advanced techniques in this make the combo scene a strong one, even over a decade later. The story campaign is pretty weak, but Bloody Palace really saves this game. If you treat it like an arcade game it's perfection.
1994
Level design isn't quite as good as X1 but this is still kino
Absurdly boring. I'm willing to give this another chance if I get a PS5 so it runs better, but as it stands this game just bores me to death.
This port is interesting to me, because on paper it has so much that makes it look better than the DC original, but in execution it's littered with weird bugs and jank that wasn't there on the Dreamcast. A lot of collision detection issues were introduced here that makes the game look really bad. I can't believe the modern ports never fixed the bugs in it.
2013
It was fun when it came out nearly a decade ago. It's age shows really badly today and the game suffers from not having singleplayer DLC like GTAIV did. The multiplayer is a lot of fun.
1995
Kino, this time with Zero
2016
Not as good as Yakuza 0 or a lot of the stronger games in the series for that matter. There's a lot of bloat and some of the enemy encounters are insufferable. Substories can be kind of weak. Overall though, it's still a very solid game. Just not one of the best ones.
1998
The Dreamcast original is probably the best iteration of this game. The graphics aren't quite as good as DX, but this version doesn't have the jank or bugs that were introduced in the remaster. The only real problem I had was the occasional long loading screen and slowdown on Skydeck. Hopefully this game gets a better port soon that's more representative of the original game.

One of the best, tightest 3D platformers I've ever played. There's so much to love here and I really think this game has something for everybody.

Overwatch was fun at first, but over the years it's become progressively worse and worse as every patch has tried to make the game less fun, which I applaud Blizzard for, as it takes a lot of skill to make a great game a bad one.
2003
I don't understand the nostalgia for this game. I grew up with it and loved it as a kid but going back to this makes me want to punt my head through a wall because of how awful and slippery the physics are
2004
A really tight experience. I wish this sort of faster paced, tougher FPS experience was more common nowadays. I definitely prefer HL2 over the CoD clones where you aim down sights all the time and have aim assist play the game for you.
