Having already played these games, I guess I'll just give my thoughts on this "second trilogy" as a whole.

I really do think I have a higher opinion of Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice than a lot of longtime fans do. Don't get me wrong, there's stuff about those games that I didn't like and wish had been done better, but I'm of the opinion that even the worst Ace Attorney game is still really good. I will say, AA4 is easily the strongest here, followed by 6 and then 5. Without giving much away though, 6 may have the strongest ending in the entire series, so it's worth playing through just for that. I hope this collection is successful and we get more new AA games soon.

I'd rate this higher if the collection itself was done better. I can't quite say Konami phoned it in, but it definitely does feel lacking. Having the ability to play these games on modern consoles is an absolute godsend, however, and I'm just glad that newer audiences have the chance to play this. This rating isn't indicative of the games themselves, which are all easily as great as they've always been. Just beware that this collection is lacking in some respects.

I'm not even a huge Pikmin fan, but this game drew me in from the very beginning. Excellent stuff here, love love LOVE this game so much. May be my favorite of 2023.

A very solid follow-up to the 2018 game. I don't think I personally enjoyed it as much as the original, as I do feel the story and missions were just a little more impactful there, but it's still an overall great time and controlling Peter/Miles feels better than ever. Just waiting on that NG+ update...

Best 2D Mario game since World, hands down. I was absolutely geeking out during so many moments. It manages to make the familiar 2D formula feel fresh again and doesn't rely too heavily on nostalgia. A must play.

This game had a strong beginning, incredibly boring middle, and what COULD'VE been a good ending if Nomura didn't decide to fucking Thanos snap Sora at the last possible moment. The gameplay is easily some of the best in the series but a few lackluster worlds and the game's plot being even more all over the place than normal holds it back from being the best overall KH game imo.

The absolute peak of the franchise.

A pretty average Mario RPG but it's still better than Sticker Star had any hope of being so that's cool

Did you just ask me to sever my leg?

This might be the most derivative sequel of all time, the only thing saving it is the fact that it just so happens to do everything (sans story) just as well as its predecessor, if not better in some areas. Over a decade later and it still holds up as one of the all-time great gaming experiences

WHO WILL I HAVE ICE CREAM WITH?!?!?!

75% of this game may be blatant fanservice but it's also just one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made, period. Also shoutout to Tee Lopes, the absolute GOAT

Even though this game's story feels like a letdown in comparison to the series' heights, this is the MGS game I come back to the most purely because of how fun the gameplay is. Maybe a bit overrated when it initially came out, but still an incredibly enjoyable time

This game was worth spending several hours on the music creator alone
