i think RUtM is still my favorite momodora title, but i enjoyed this one. vibes, music, art were all fantastic. boss fights were simpler than i would've liked, but i still enjoyed my time.
i did spend a full 2 hours of my 8 hour playtime trying to complete the log just to realize it bugged out for me and i'm catching the fish but the game isn't registering it and that was frustrating.

i used to play a ton of this on an old demo disc i had in middle school and was entranced by it. it really never occurred to me that nowadays i can just play the entire thing very easily and it doesn't have to be some mythical game i'll never experience. so i did that! i didn't beat it, it got very hectic and difficult, but i thoroughly enjoyed the couple hours spent. i know this inspired the cook, serve, delicious series, but i really think the dual stick control scheme is what made this game so special and CSD suffers for not having it. hidden gem for sure.
would this game be better on the ps2 with camera controls, a real lock on, and a dodge button? yeah. yeah it would. but if those missing hurts your enjoyment of the game it's a skill issue this game OWNS HARD. if you love character action games, camp, and can handle a little retro jankiness, you NEED to play this.

I've fully completed RoR1 twice, once in the original 2013 release and again several years later on the switch port. Didn't really follow RoRR announcments and I kind of expected it to be just a visual touch up and a new online system that wasn't a nightmare to deal with. But wow, I'm blown away. The environmental spritework is so gorgeous, there are tons of new items, encounters, a whole challenge mode full of custom maps and unique tasks, reworked survivors and even new ones. I'm super pumped to go through this whole game AGAIN. Way more than I expected.

Came back to this after seeing some kind of big patch/console release. Hadn't touched it in a few years and WOW. This quietly became one of the nicest and well polished arcade rhythm games I've ever played. So much style and charm in every single ounce of it. A rhythm game made by rhythm games fans for rhythm game fans. The only negative I can say is that if you aren't super into electronic music the default soundtrack doesn't offer much else, but it's a PC rhythm game and you can use spinshare for customs.
