I am about halfway through with it. Quackers is just good clean fun. The speed and sense of childlike excitement is sustained across the whole experience. The gameplay can be a little awkward with the platforming, sometimes not hitting the mark the way it feels like it should - but I got used to it.

Noice. I can deal with a few bugs if I'm doing it as Ash Williams. I look forward to it.

I never could keep interested in the conventional card game, but Roses' unique way of blending itself in with a Chess-like, grid-based style was a match made in heaven for me. As an adult, although the story means absolutely nothing to me (it's a strange alt. fantasy world scenario), the rest hits.

I went back and revised Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelist of the Roses, because I thought it would be a fun way to celebrate what the series meant to me - granted, as a thirty-year-old man, I haven't "sent" a creature to the shadow realm since I was thirteen.

I am dipping my toes in PlayStation 2 to relive my childhood and discover gems I never was able to experience - I am most psyched to experience Silent Hill 4, the Evil Dead, and Fullmetal Alchemist games, I think.

With all the touchups that can be done with emulation, it holds up dramatically well and is a real blast of fun.

I had never played Donald Duck Goin' Quackers. I missed the boat on it, which is a shame because it takes the highly rhythmic, highly fun play style of Crash Bandicoot (and DK: Country), and makes it feel more arcade-y and simplified, but, very, very fun.

The best way I can describe Twinsanity, from its quirky Rayman Legends - esque music, Loony mainstream humor, it's like if you made a television show for Crash and this was the videogame for what a TV show adaptation would've looked like, just in how it plays (kind of like how Ratchet reboot felt).

Let's make no mistake - it is buggy and it lacks the polish and gameplay of the original Trilogy, with a lot of moments where the bosses and nearly everything else clearly needed more time in the oven. Still though, I love how they doubled down on slapstick comedy, Loony Tunes Crash Bandicoot.

Honestly, I had a lot of fond memories for this game when I first played it. The second time I tried it on my PS2 like this years ago, I was pretty sour. Now, though, I've mostly come back around on it.

I recently bought a new PC with the intent of emulating some of the videogames from my childhood. One of the first I did was Crash Twinsanity.

I can Door Dash weed now. What a crazy time to be alive.

I did not enjoy the Scarecrow puzzle. I have enjoyed the rest so far though.

This is a problem my wife and I have.

Being able to say I played a clone of the flying parts of Cuphead as a person riding a tampon shooting at Carmen Santiago is an example of the games' best absurdism.

Upon playing, you can really tell they put their "best" clones at the front and the back, as about midway through there are a lot of games that are either crazy simple or barely playable.

I am still getting a kick out of it. It feels like the videogame equivalent of blindly buying a bunch of knockoffs from Temu and having a Mystery Box reveal party.

Some of the games mocked include Cuphead, The Binding of Isaac, and more. I think most, if not all of the fun, is that Dopamine dispense of being brought back to something you're nostalgic for.

Admittedly, most versions are a notably worse version of the original version, however.

I bought and started playing Indiecalypse, on a whim. I am about two hours into it.

Basically, it is around twenty-five mini-games, spread across a point-and-click style adventure game.

The mini-games are riffs on popular indie games, the story feels like a lower brow Cyanide & Happiness.

I think I want to try and beat the Hard difficulty with Silent Hill f in New Game +, so that way I can get a deeper appreciation of the combat.

The puzzles have been interesting, and the atmosphere has led to a handful of genuinely creepy moments. It feels a lot closer to what I ultimately wanted from Fatal Frame (although I have only played and beaten the first Fatal Frame so far).

The change in setting was unexpected, but ultimately welcome. Silent Hill f feels like, to Silent Hill, what the Evil Within was to Resident Evil, where it feels like it takes the core and creates something new.

This is the "Every town has an Elm Street" game for Silent Hill.

The story is a little heavy-handed, on the nose, but I like it. The setting is good, I am really digging the atmosphere, and the combat feels very interesting and different for the series, without going too far off the reservations.

I started Silent Hill f. I decided to buy it as a birthday present for myself. I am about five hours in and I am digging it so far. 👍

All in all, it is likely the worst mainline Resident Evil (I would actually put it over 5, but that's largely because I didn't love the art style of that one). I also think it has more bang for your buck than 3, but the sum of its parts is an overall inferior product.

I'd say it's a 6 out of 10.

At the same time though, I kind of like it. As a "what the fuck" Elseworld version of how Resident Evil culminated.

The gameplay reminds me of if Gears of War took steroids and was a little like Devil May Cry. It's not great, but there is fun to be had.

The story is a nothing burger, but with every topping you can think of. It's like if Capcom made an adaptation of the Resident Evil movies, but wanted them to feel like Fast & the Furious after it'd jumped the shark.

It's ridiculous, and it doesn't mesh well with what I think the series does best.

The production value and score were on point and I liked the tweaks they made to the HUD menu, which I found slick and pretty neat. It wouldn't have worked with the earlier ones, but I liked them in this case.

Chris' and Jake's campaigns were decent fun. There was definitely fun to be had in the game. In fact, it really vibes as a Gears of War lite style 3rd person shooter.

Ada's, on the other hand, was a mess and the shoehorning of a multiplayer campaign was hilarious.

I love Resident Evil 4 and very much enjoy 2, which is why I thought the Leon story would be my favorite among them. It actually might be the worst of the bunch (not counting Ada's).
