Bio
Software engineer & lover of all things video game.

I've been playing video games since a young age and I've been tracking and rating what I've played since high school. This means that a lot of my personal ratings are historically arbitrary. Nowadays, I try to take a little bit more of a critical stance of the games I play, but my ratings stay arbitrary.

I've been tracking completion date & time since mid-2013, so there are roughly 600 games listed on here that are missing a completion date. Additionally, there are roughly 30 or so games that weren't on IGDB when I imported my spreadsheet, so my actual completion count is slightly higher than what's on the site.

Nintendo 3DS
This game has got some sleek presentation and amazing style. How can you say no to fighting aliens/robots as the future president of New Japan in a mech suit? That's about the most anime concept you could conjure up and it's well executed stylistically. The gameplay itself is passable and can induce some hand cramping just due to the nature of the 3DS, but overall it's a joyous experience that can be had in an hour and a half.

If there's any adjective to describe Hylics it would be "unique." This is the closest thing to abstract art that a turn-based RPG can be, and in that respect it succeeds wholeheartedly. Its metacommentary on the pointlessness of most RPG dialogue and its usage of RPG tropes make for a fun deconstruction of a genre that I love, but it's also fairly basic when it comes to actually playing the game (and remarkably short). Still, it makes for a charming playthrough even if it feels like the game could have been even more.

Trepang2 is at its best when you're living a super soldier power fantasy, absolutely slaughtering crowds of soldiers without even breaking a sweat. This part is endlessly entertaining but it seems like the developers wanted to lean hard into making this a horror game, with some slower paced segments that felt more like a drag than actually instilling fear. The story and setting is also underutilized, with some solid worldbuilding that doesn't seem to ever truly pan out. That said, I was certainly satisfied with the slaughtering that ensued throughout most of this game's runtime.
