A neat little side story for The Case of the Golden Idol. The change in setting is refreshing, but the story's primary focus is clarifying mysteries of the first game rather than creating an engaging challenge on its own. Playing it feels a bit like reading a reference section at the end of a great book.
My big complaint-- the visuals are noticeably and sometimes distractingly lower quality. I wonder if they switched design processes to speed up development or something, sadly it is a big downgrade.

They made a whole generation of Pokémon games for DS and released it a few months before the 3DS came out, so they tried really hard to make it unique. Cool visuals, all new Pokémon, unique and different story. Only bad part is the Unova region which is horrible and makes me suspect Game Freak thought all countries with white people are the same before they started going on fancy paid vacations.

The SEGA Saturn's answer to King's Field and Ocarina of Time. If it was released today it would be called a Soulslike and a Roguelike.
Virtual Hydlide has quite a few baffling design decisions and the Saturn can barely run it, but it has that special something that makes you want to keep playing despite it all. The game looks beautiful at times and can really draw you into it's world when it wants to. Give it a try!
I recommend you play on Normal or higher. At easy difficulty the game is so easy it becomes boring.

The kind of game where moving around feels so good, something is missing when you play a different game and can't yo-yo boost anymore. Probably the best of this type of indie game once you get used to the unique controls.
The controls will take time to get used to, but they work and are designed well. I expect many will say the controls are "unfair" the same way people complained about Souls games a decade ago, but if you stick with it you will do great.
