A solid title for what it is. Not many games attempt the WarioWare “micro game” format. For that, I believe every entry in this series is worth a play.

Lots of fun wacky audio and visual design that sometimes does it better than the more polished future titles.

Gave me a nostalgic feeling of playing Jak 2 as a kid. Being interested in this dingy slum in a curious explorative way. Being a driving force in a story I knew I wasn’t fully involved in. I haven’t felt this sense of explorative wonder in a while.

Which makes it regrettable that there’s areas you can’t come back to. The wonder I felt eventually became a source of anxiety knowing that missing a collectible meant replaying a whole chapter.

PLEASE play this game with a controller. Despite being available on iOS, I found the touch controls lacking and robs the player of this truly unique experience.

Having not played the original, Resident Evil 2 is one of the most exhilarating horror games I have ever played. Without spoiling too much, the accumulation of equipment throughout the game makes the player feel like a real horror action protagonist by the end of the experience.

The perfect platformer. Some of, if not the best controls in any platformer ever. The game features charm, emotional moments and difficulty in a neat little package.

While blasphemous to say, I believe Three Houses is the Pokemon Sword & Shield of the Fire Emblem franchise.

With several cut features, oversimplified gameplay and surface level storytelling, it pales in comparison to the games that came before it. That being said, I have put in over 200 hours into this entry, and had a great time. But just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean it lacks flaws.

A surreal dream-like experience. Fun puzzles and colorful characters makes Smile For Me memorable and causes its slight horror elements to come off far more effectively.

Where the game drops the ball in terms of story, it picks it right back up in fun. The smaller dex while initially upsetting, buut allows for it to be much more manageable to complete. Along with the new wild area and max raids, filling out the pokedex has never been so fun before !

And for those who've always been interested in the competitive scene but never knew where to start, this game introduces many ways in which a new player can set themselves up as easily as possible.
