If you kill 1.2 billion f*cking ugly reds, you enter a final showdown against Mou Shaytung in a relentless bullet hell level. Defeat him and you get an image of Chin hugging his relative Bruce Lee. I never saw it but my uncle who works for Nintendo told me so.
Count Toddula just lays down those releases like they’re tiles on a floor. But for once, I am glad, because after installing some quality-of-life mods, I had an incredibly fun action adventure experience. I enjoyed my time playing the story and the DLC and exploring all the different places in Skyrim.
Still, this game is a buggy mess, and still this game depends on mods to improve upon its surface level WRPG elements. Oblivion, this is not.

The sense of progression in this game is truly unmatched by any other WRPG I have ever played. The combat. The environments. The music. THE MEMES. I LOVE this game.
Nostalgia clouds my judgement but yes I love this game. It’s the first true console platformer on DOS and even though it was severely outdated when I first played it as a child, I loved it, and I still do.
A common complaint is the level design, but to me that gives each area a unique feel you don’t get in any other game. Okay nostalgia really is affecting my judgement lol

Pokemon Snap on steroids is this game basically.
Now the best part of any Pokemon game is exploring new areas and catching Pokemon, and that element is made even better with the lush natural environments. That all said, I miss battling, I really do, and you don’t do it much in this game, which is why I dock it a star.

It's bowling alright.
I'm a sucker for video game bowling because there's an element of randomness to it sure, but there is skill involved in knowing how to hook the ball, where to position the ball, and to know the weight of the ball you'll need. Now this is by no means the best bowling video game I've ever played, but it's still really fun for a rather plain bowling game. The characters are charming (I always play as the Xenomorph) and the music is decent. Still, the fact that you're stuck with the ball you choose at the beginning, and rather bland graphics on the Genesis by 1993 standards don't put this in the league of Wii Sports or Yakuza 0 for bowling games.

This is a rather fun shooting game where you attack enemies with guns that shoot Big Mac sauce, I think. Would be a lot better if you didn't have to collect a certain number of Ms to beat the level, and also if it didn't have a hypocritical environmental message coming from a global conglomerate.
I can't complain because at the end of the day, this is a damn fine playing Turtles game on the Genesis. However, it is inferior to the SNES version of Turtles in Time, due to the lack of content comparatively, as well as the less-forgiving hitboxes. I still recommend any Genesis owner to get this, however. Just keep in mind this game shares more in common with the original TMNT arcade game than Turtles In Time Arcade.
1989
This is a really great and unique JRPG. You can tell how influential these games would be to later action RPGs and to the genre as a whole. Heck, even the Legend of Zelda series takes a lot of influence from Ys. Definitely a must play if for nothing else the historical perspective.
2019
Feels like a proper Pokemon game with its own kind of humor. Very well-done.
2020
A game with a lot of potential to be a great linear WRPG, but even outside of its glitches, its story is not captivating despite some charming characters, and it's lack of immersion and class choices hinders it further.

Though not as good as Yakuza 0, still a fun game in its own right. Takes a lot longer to get into than 0, but it pays off in dividends storywise. Also Majima's everywhere, so watch out for that I guess.
1991
It's been said already, this game is NOT worth enormous amount of money that it goes for, but this game does hold a rare distinction, along with Little Samson, in being a /great/ rare game. It's a cute 'em up with great characters and interesting, unique options for your ship- I mean, broom.
Emulate it, play it on Turbo Everdrive, or get a repro.
