I adored this one. I grew up playing Gradius, R-Type and most importantly - Ikaruga/Radiant Silvergun. This is very much a love letter to all of them.
Fantastic sequel where you solve puzzles and debate if frogs are human.
At first I really didn't like how story-centric it was (as well as how open the hub worlds are - you wander around a lot before finding the next puzzle). But the story did eventually win me over and I did grow to appreciate the level design and art direction. There's a lot of new puzzle mechanics and a lot of them could have been expanded or explored further.
Overall, I recommend if you enjoy puzzlers or the first one - just be prepared for a more narrative-focused experience.

Adore this indie shmup. It's super pretty.

Great indie game. Fantastic sense of exploration and adventure. Jrpg mechanic heavy with a bunch of wonderful customization. Story isn't really there, but sense of adventure is. Really enjoyed this!

It made me think, but not too hard. Kept a pretty good flow throughout. Not a bad experience.
Wonderful sequel. It's more of the first spider man, nothing surprising, but still pretty damn great.

This was my "play while listening to a podcast" game of 2023. Simple, satisfying, good to have on the background.

Text adventure where you're sent to slay a princess in a cabin by a narrator. Lots of 4th wall breaking and multiple paths to take. Little monotonous but clever concept.

Can't believe it took me this long to play. Excellent metroidvania
Giant robots always fun.
2018
Buggy and unpolished, yet the opressiveness is fun is a dark souls kind of way. I was enthralled.
Ya'll know this one is good.
2023
Rare game that continously gets better as time goes on. Loved the story, battle system and setting. Had some pacing issues and side quest variety could have been better - but CBU3 is still solid.
2021
I like the concept. I love the soundtrack. I like some of the individual stories. I like the randomness. But the polish (especially with animations) and awkward dialogue just wasn't there. More waveshaper and kallax in games is always good.

Your right hand comes off?
Pretty much a perfect remake of one of the best games ever made.
