Great game, but held back by the normal mode being way too easy to break and a really good story that's unfortunately filled with plotholes.
One of the best 2D Mario games and you can't convince me otherwise.
Great Metroid game, but this honestly might be the only game I've played that I would say is TOO short.
1994
My favorite JRPG if you don't count Thousand Year Door. Insane how a game with a story this good came out on SNES.
This game has not aged nearly as well as people say. It's made needlessly frustrating through poor hitboxes, enemies that hit way too hard, and obscure mandatory secrets, making this one of my least favorite Zeldas. Not a bad game at all, but I'm probably not playing it again.
Story is great, but Xenoblade combat is.... not good.
2006
The only video game ever to almost make me cry. 10/10
1998
I do not like this game. The story is great, but the PS1 gameplay jank completely ruins it.
Some of the most I've ever been emotionally invested in a game's story. Xenoblade Gameplay is kinda mediocre to me, but I stay for the story and presentation.
Fun as hell hack-n-slash, but a very bad Metal Gear story in my opinion. I kinda think this game assassinates Raiden's character, which makes it hard to enjoy the story for me. Still one of the most dumb, fun games ever made and I love it.
2017
My favorite video game. I do a new playthrough once yearly. It's not a tradition, it's just because I always want to play it. That's all I have to say.
2021
My favorite 2D Metroid. Somehow even better than Super Metroid and even competes with the Prime games. Can't wait to see what Mercury Steam makes next.
2022
I have conflicting thoughts on this one. Clearly this is one of the best adventure games ever, and one of the best open worlds, so it's clearly a masterpiece. Most would say it's Fromsoft's best, but I still think I like Dark souls III and Sekiro more. Bosses get a little too hard at the end, enemies have needlessly long and fast combos all throughout, and it's really easy to overlevel, which makes for a more frustrating experience than most Fromsoft games for me. Overall though, it's an open world Dark Souls game and that's all I need. Also it probably has my favorite character designs in anything ever.
2018
One of the best platformers ever made. I have 100s of hours and 1000s of deaths and I still can't get enough of it. Absolute masterpiece.
2019
I love talking trash about this game and it's hard for me to call it one of my favorites, but the truth is I spent over 100 hours beating it, so clearly they did something right here.
