this is a great game which i happen to have a particular attachment to because it was the first ace attorney game i played, but my GOD does the third case REALLY need to go over that SAME unskippable concert clip EVERY time it gets brought up?

real talk the moment i decided firmly i wasn't going to bother with the remake is when i found out they cut the photo album side quest. sure it doesn't net you anything, but it's fun!

i'm a deeply impatient person so the fact that it's SO easy to get lost in this game AND you get sent back to the start screen if you die doesn't exactly endear me to it, although i did have fun

i had so much trouble following the bad guy in this game when i was a kid so i never completed it. and then this time round i managed that in like 3 gos. rip 9 y/o me.

personally i did not have a problem with the combat! i DID however have a problem with this pegi 7 rated game killing off my friend bobby :(((

this game made me realise that maybe i'm not that good at sonic games

this was the first sonic game i ever played. needless to say it didn't exactly set me up for the rest of the series

i do think origami king is an improvement and i get why people who liked the early games are disappointed BUT this is the game that got me into paper mario and i had a fun time :)

fully forgot my 3ds had a microphone until that last puzzle lmao
great game!! i thought the train was a really good way of giving it more variation in setting in the first one, and i loved the story (even though the murder solution is kinda silly)

super fun!! there were actually quite a few really frustrating stars (dusty dune galaxy it is On Sight) but i always felt the sense of achievement once i completed them made up for the challenge! haven't played super luigi galaxy yet (i loved this game but probably not enough to play all 120 stars of it AGAIN immediately after completion) but it's definitely on the list. i was also...unexpectedly moved by the entire ending? something about the circle of life and the constant creation of new worlds really got to me i guess

genuinely bizarre experience to finish this in two days when i remember AGONIZING over the puzzles as a kid to the point that i never finished the thing. anyway it was good i liked it

undoubtedly a phenomenal, groundbreaking game. but trying to wall jump in order to get one of the stars legitimately drove me to tears

this was the first zelda game i remember actually releasing, and although i didn't play it until 2015 (because i didn't own a wii) it still holds a special place in my heart. i've never had a problem with the motion controls personally, but i'll give this a proper rating when i next go back to replay it.

that final master sword trial still haunts me to this day
