This game provided me with the first boss I got severely stuck on. His name was Iwaoropenelep, he was a literal giant thunder bird. I seriously cursed this bird’s name. I got stuck on him for something like a year. I even asked my friends to do it for me. No dice, until I tackled him head on again and again and got fucking lucky hanging on by a thread. Seriously, that OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOD feeling I got when the death animation played was the closest I have ever been to understanding why people play Dark Souls other than severe sadomasochism.
Most pertinent issues up front: 1) the translation of this game is super weird and, from what I can interpret, is quite literal to the Japanese text. 2) The text is chopped up into particles – oftentimes there’ll be three or four text bubbles per sentence – for no reason I can see, other than the Japanese text being that way (do Japanese teenagers all talk like William Shatner?)
The plot is your bog-standard “school club” and “scary rumour where a ghost girl shows up and kills you in real life if you meet these specific requirements” Japanese plotlines. I pretty much think everything about this game can be sorted by which cliché it is. That being said, I am a giant pussy, so I was scared by everything in this game and I did choose to not listen to the audio. Three times of having a ghost girl rasp 「誰でもいい」into my earholes was enough.
This game was the type of meh where it disappoints you to see it fall flat on its face, rather than provoking laughter.

Cute and fun game with a heap of unique style! Unfortunately, I’m so bad at games that I got stuck 2 hours in and had to put it down for fear of ripping my own face off in frustration.
This game, especially the early cases, is HORNY for returning characters and motifs and it puts a stale edge on what would be a really nice variation of normal Ace Attorney gameplay
The Perceive mechanic could be really cool, but… you know what all video gamed players really love to do? Go on spot the difference hunts over a gigantic sprite and search for the witness crying blood a little bit or whatever stupid poker tell they have.
Klavier was in this game and Capcom decided that actually he wasn’t that interesting GOODBYE KLAVIER and he hasn’t appeared since. I have a headcanon that he just prosecutes corporate finance law now and has a very cosy home life with Apollo and just listens to Apollo’s crazy ass stories

it's Very Obvious this game was originally developed for a mobile platform but its really cute so i'll forgive it. plus screwing the screws felt cool because i was using a laptop trackpad.
also if youre a deadset dumbfuck like me you might get annoyed with the fiddlier bits because it's not immediately obviously apparent you didnt put the cogs on in the right order or whatever so Watch Out

Spiritfarer is such a wonderful game! It made me cry Several Times, but the worst one was Alice, as I have firsthand experience of dementia patients.
My only complaint is the end kind of dribbles along and I basically had to commit suicide so I didn't lose all will to complete the game, but it still made me cry so ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

kind of annoying to play

Looks absolutely gorgeous; the art direction is the best part of this game IMO. However when I played this I had JUST finished Bravely Second which really maxed out my tolerance for JRPG Nonsense so I'm not sure if it's me or Octopath Traveller, but I'm probably not going to finish this ever.

the citation printing noise is one of the most dreaded noises in my illustrious gaming career. i dont think any other sound could instil that level of AAAAGH in my soul

the mako was easily the worst part of this game. the thing handles like it's on greased ice skates
