I haven't played like any other 2d Zeldas but this one holds a special place in my heart. Very charming!

Really charming game. Movement mechanics are great and the worlds all feel fleshed out. A fair number of the time pieces feel a bit like a chore to get however. Bosses never felt all too interesting aside from the last one, and half of the worlds in the game (dlc included) are incredibly lackluster and just not that fun to traverse through.

Trite, uninspired levels. The writing more often than not feels ham-fisted, with actually witty or funny jokes few and far between. The overworld is overbearing especially given how drab it feels, and separating areas with a quiz show is a laughably bad attempt at capturing the magic of the Banjo's end-game quizzes.

Fair bit more interesting and inspired than the predecessor, opting for a 2D platforming style this time. Revisting the stages is a very novel idea, but the overworld is largely unnecessary. It's very cool at first but as they add puzzles and more intricate design to it it becomes annoying when you just want to get to the core platforming.

Also fuck the gimmick of the last level, I heard it's been changed now to be a bit more forgiving but it's needlessly frustrating, even if the idea was good on paper the kind of challenge presented would work far better as an optional post-game challenge or something of the sort.

Very fun boss-rush, and the platforming levels are so few and far between they feel more like a breath of fresh air than a nuisance. Overall does what it sets out to do very well and would highly recommend it just for the gorgeous art and soundtrack alone.

Masterclass in the mobile phone puzzle game era.

Very good summer game. Very okay video game.

My personal favourite Smash game. It might stink competitively or whatever but the amount of content to do by yourself or with others is wild. I'd spend hours creating stages in the editor and just jamming out in the record room. The campaign was very fun and replayable (especially with others) albeit a bit shallow.

2020

One of the most unique kart racers of it's generation. Lots of different game modes and different tracks to keep you busy, and an even ambitious adventure mode that while not nearly as cohesive or interesting as a game like Diddy Kong Racing is still very welcome. Well worth your time if you're ever in the mood for a new soulful kart game.

Bonus point for this even existin

Still to this day the only JRPG I've completed. Great art style, fun gameplay and interesting environments are explored. Boshi is a badass.
