Just finished a playthrough, enjoy so many QoL changes this version has - along with extra content... but... I think the extra content added some pacing issues towards the middle, so this one will sit at "nearly perfect" for me.

looks cool and is kinda neat that game freak made it ... but it is extremely mid

because of this we now have genshin impact

One of the other reviews points out the gameplay loop is repetitive, but I kinda fuck with that. The combat system is pretty deep for what it is (or at least gives you enough tools to kind of shop it around and find some cool fresh ways to take out loads of whoever the hell you are fighting).

Also props for being a weird mishmash of genres that just kind of feels natural and modern to play despite the weird mishmashy-ness of it.

Might have been 4 stars, but the game includes Hibiki who is so cool that it bumps it for me. Play if you want a fun-but-hard 2d fighter with great atmosphere.

Best character select theme in any game by far, tbh.

went from "how cool could it be" to "damn I might write some stuff" real fast

You actually have a katana in the game despite the name.

The modern rogue-lite with the mythically perfect difficulty curb. Also good game for fans of being silly.

If you don't like this game then that is a taste issue.

Really loved this game despite it being the brainchild of an arguable cornball of a guy. Fun stealth/action gameplay with tagging at the center of it all. Extremely cool guests, voicecast, and music as well.

Not everything has aged gracefully, but I think something like this is a prime example of weird games from the past that I think are prime targets for spiritual successors.

(Note: if you want to play current year, go emulation - the PC port is ass)

Playing with OpenMW and only a couple mods (draw distance, lighting, minor stuff..), and aside from the combat it holds up really well. The dialogue system is extremely cool, and it's a shame every RPG needs voice acting now because I feel like the way Morrowind handles it is so much deeper and intuitive.
