Fantastic game, one hell of a artistic statement.
A culmination of years of Remedy's design, with narrative and structural implementations steeming from latest ~souls~ trends, and gameplay that recons back to the genesis of shooters.

too worlds too.
i was struggling to remember what game this was, since my memories smushed it together with gothic iv. and now i just remembered that i also played bound by flame 🤦. oh my

immaculate cel-shaded textures. if you like such a medium, its worth a look.
played on the Sega Naomi II Flycast emulator, with upscaled internal resolution, a widescreen hack, and the inputs properly configured to work on a joystick. what a blast of energy the ~30-or-so minutes run of this ride is.
i think the only game that came to surpass the cel-shaded graphics technique from this 2001 arcade game was 2023's Hi-Fi Rush, from Tango Gameworks - yes, its that good-looking.

sometimes when you're young, you make decisions without giving a lot of tought, and without any sort of guidance or orientation. life is an experience that will give you some jeepers every now and then, and the things you decide to do to yourself - do not be fooled - 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭, and will mark or scar you in some way or another, forever, maybe showing up again to haunt your memories only several years down the line. 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝. all it needs to come back is you remembering it, even, barely, a little, and then its there again.
now why the fuck did i decided, in 2011, to not only play, but also to beat this shit game. did i thought i had all the time in the world? that i wouldnt grow older and remember that i played it? now i can never erase that. i did this to myself.
i have to live with it and learn to not repeat the same kind of mistake again.

The hud in this game shoud be studied. It's one of the ugliest things I have ever seen in my entire life.
One star for the hud, the rest is garbage.

Armored Core in my room by 2016, emulated, on a looserbook hewlett-packard PC, at the time while I was in University.

That time when you raise from your frickin 𝔱𝔬𝔪𝔟 and goes ⓑⓐⓛⓛⓘⓢⓣⓘⓒ in da church.
Hmmm.
𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚.

A remix of the first game. Entire new systems were grafted, glued on top of Breath of the Wild. The physics simulation and interactios were remade. A beautiful sky was created just for you. The sound design and soundtrack are flawless.

This game is very worth it; of course its not revolutionary like its imediate predecessor - but, along with the gameplay changes, the development of the emotional story that they made in this one is spectacular.

played around its year of release. great game, very neat. didint know about immersive sims back then.

Play the original, you coward!
