Great game. The gunplay is a lot better, but it doesn't have quite the je ne sais quoi umami of the first one. Is that solely because Sam Lake Face is absent? Who's to say.

Opening showed me where capitalism is taking this country and I was too depressed to want to play more. I will give yelling/crying into a pillow and emotional eating 5 stars though.
Mega Man X

I was having a blast fighting through the Robot Master stages (Reploid Master stages? I dunno the plot man), and then the Sigma stages hit me like a brick wall. And then Sigma himself hit me like a neutron star.

Cattie
2023
Looking for a cute cat, retro feel and a little bit of challenge? Then this game is for you!
Cattie is a challenging platformer game with retro pixel graphics. With each level, the difficulty steadily increases, introducing new mechanics and enemies that will put your platforming skills to the test. The game has 100 levels total, but to me that felt a little too many levels. You first play 50 levels and then you play the 50 levels in reverse for a total of 100.
It's definitely a good game, but I feel like its too long. It took me 70 hours and a little over to complete the 100 levels. The art is fun and the soundtrack is great. The cat is very cute.
I do recommend this game, just be aware that it might take longer to complete.

DK Mountain is the best track in any cart racer.
Will forever be known to me as a game i played ONLY during every single one of my Jewish Studies lectures. Im not even Jewish so i cant begin to tell you how i ended up in that class but this was the only thing i looked forward doing at 10:55 - 11:30am tuesdays and thursdays every week. Today was my last day of class so it was either I beat the game today or i take another class about the Jewish religion. There was no better option.
Fun game though if not a little confusing at times which is why it took me so long to beat it, though the game does have hints which i used religiously because between learning about pangrea or whatever my professor was talking about and me not knowing the geography of Japan i couldnt hope to keep up... Then i would have had to take a second Jewish culture class. The zones are pretty open at times and normally i would find this to be boring but the music was very good so i didnt really care much... either that or i was just so bored that anything was entertaining. The tight corridor areas were extremely fucking annoying due to the god awful camera
This game also does that Final Fantasy V shit with the humor where they do an attempt at comedy and nobody laughs but instead of playing this it just plays a laugh track (<-- thats a laugh track in case any of you didnt know) and unfortunately im a sucker for shitty jokes so this appealed to me. I think beating this game was more of an accomplishment to me than completing the course

I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds. A shining light to our brothers in arms, even in death.
We are Diamond Dogs.

It's just like Suikoden, except instead of Suiko it's Eiyu
Some times it does come down to a 50/50 guess, but what a metaphor for life. Windows became worse when it stopped including Minesweeper in the OS.
