pandara is cool, jank and chill. one of those doujin games that cram a bunch of ambitious ideas into the simplest template possible. this is a shmup with no mechanics apart from shooting and leveling up. sometimes other pandas help you out, but they can't move and die almost immediately. it's so offputting. the character on the cover doesn't even appear in the story, she's just there for the arcade mode. though it has these mysterious qualities that only make it more interesting for me, it also feels good to play, and the soundtrack is honestly incredible. more ppl should play this imo
Klonoa 2 made me realize that gameplay in a platformer really doesn't matter as much as atmosphere and narrative (even tho the gameplay still felt great)
to be clear, i don't think that Dear Esther is boring, but the way it tells its story with dialogue triggers that tell random bits of it sure make it unnecessarily convoluted for what could have been a solid narrative told uniquely.

incredibly entertaining fast food gaming. zero substance, great looks... kinda like a merge of Cavia's weirdo PS2 games with that 360 shine.
this is the antithesis of Homefront's boring approach to this genre of minimalistic shooting affair and that's good.

every single time i reflect on my experience playing this to completion i end up liking it more. it began with a strong dislike, and now i look back at it fondly. that's crazy
