Played the demo. Liked it more than I expected. It has a lot of charm, the combat feels fun and connecting combos is satisfying, cooking is a simple bejeweled type minigame but fun. Will be coming back to the full game eventually.
Played the demo. The best the Wonder Boy series has ever looked and felt overall. It's just a shame the demo ended so soon. Will probably buy the full game eventually.
Played the demo. The witty meta narration is reminiscent of the one in Ratchet and Clank, which makes more sense here but doesn't make it any more good. The combat seems like it could have some potential with more gadgets to use, but as the demo shows it, it's very boring and unengaging.
Played the demo. Couldn't finish it. Boring combat, clunky controls, an empty and ugly world. Not something I'll be picking up to play.
Played only the demo. While not an atrocity like the Wii's remake, they somehow have not learned anything from that and butchered any charm and personality Door to Phantomile possessed. That opening cutscene was painful to sit through, and I don't feel like seeing what they did to the other great moments of the game. I'm glad I didn't buy this on a whim.
Lunatea's Veil feels pretty much the same but in HD at least.

I remember it being fun, but I could never get past the fifth mission or so. I just lost interest at that point.

It's cool, but idk, these chel-shaded puzzle games with a vague world and story all feel the same to me. They always lack something that made Journey and Monument Valley so awe-inspiring.

I like Runescape, seeing numbers going up is fun, but I'm not really a fan of its obtuse systems, constantly having to click things and walk, and f2p limitations. This is a nice solution.

Probably the best party game ever made. Holy shit this game is fun. It's a shame it has no online option.
But even still, please epic leave it alone.

Really, really fun with friends. Especially when none of us knew what the f was happening on screen.
That said, it looks really boring and uninteresting to play alone. Maybe it's because I played only up to the first boss, but the level design just felt way too simple (even reminded me more of old Kirby games than Mario games) and the Elephant power up pretty boring.
Maybe it's because I just didn't play enough, but all the "reinvention" I see people boasting about this game just feels like the same thing Rayman Legends did years ago.

My interest in this game peaked with the fact that they added a ram mechanic, which is something that every urban open world game should have because it makes the game a 100% more fun, but somehow only True Crime/Sleeping Dogs ever bothered with it, and then died along with Ling.
Also, along with the top-down perspective, they brought back the writing of the early GTA games as well.

Welp, finally played through GTA V, on its tenth anniversary, and it was...fine, I guess?
I know it's a tradition for Rockstar games to have a troubled production and that impacting on the game's story, but damn, GTA V just feels like it ends halfway through. We finally feel like we are getting somewhere, getting the big score, then we are hit with the info that we're killing either Michael or Trevor and it just...ends like that? Unsatisfying as hell.
Why am I even gonna keep playing now? To finish the strangers missions? To buy property and see the money pointlessly going up? Meh, if I wanted to play a management minigame I'd rather play Yakuza instead.
I always wondered why GTA V's story didn't seem to have had any impact at all on pop culture, and I guess it's because it sucks. Overall, Sleeping Dogs is just the better game out of the two.

Man, the writing for the dialogue in this game is so...tiring. It's not just the weird necessity for all characters to keep talking all the time, but it feels like the writers wanted to constantly be making quips and jokes and being witty all the fucking time, and that's just not how people talk. It feels more like an amateur book or a Reddit post than a game.

Oh my god I had no idea the Mutazione devs had released a new game. This is a nice christmas present.

It's kinda disappointing that they couldn't move past the 'fantasy creatures=real world issues' trope, and there's some tackled on drama and sometimes weird sex talks that's a detriment for the experience, but it delivers that cozy feeling all the same.
