My experience with the new Tomodachi life has been pretty hilarious so far. No-one has gotten together yet romantically, but for some reason my Hideo Kojima mii falls in love with every single new person he's met. So far he's fallen for Tony Tony Chopper, Roronoa Zoro, Gold Ship and me.
#30 Pragmata (9/10):
This is an incredibly enjoyable game, with a unique and fun combat system, solid, yet simple story, likeable characters, great music, gorgeous visuals. Admittedly level variety is a bit lacking in places but overall, this was just a great experience.
#29 Mega Man X 2 (6/10):
Bit better than the first X game, yet still feels a bit jank compared to the regular Mega Man series. Visually nice, soundtrack is solid and level design is solid, but it just feels a bit lacking. I'm beginning to wonder if I just dislike the X series...
#28 Dragon Age: The Veilguard (8/10):
Solid game with a decent story, characters and gameplay. Like Inquisition it does feel quite padded and it's a shame none of the choices from DA1,2 and 3 really carry over in this, but aside from that I had a good time with it.
#27 MegaMan X (6/10):
It's alright. The gameplay for the most part is solid and the game is visually and audibly appealing, but the boss designs are fairly lackluster and the final levels in particular are utter garbage with some absolute ass boss designs.
#26 Yooka-Re-Playlee (7/10):
Remaster of Yooka-Laylee that looks a lot better, plays a lot better, has a lot more enjoyable challenges and some better QoL enhancements. Still not incredible mind, as some of the worlds still lack interesting design but otherwise much better!
#25 Xenoblade Chronicles X - Definitive Edition (8/10):
The story & characters are entertaining, albeit the weakest in the series. Gameplay is solid, though a bit tedious. Music is absurdly good. One of the best soundtracks ever. Overall I enjoyed it, but it's the weakest Xenoblade overall.
#24 New Super Luckys Tale (7/10):
Short, yet solid 3D platformer, with a cute, albeit generic art style, decent soundtrack and fun gameplay. Nothing particularly special, but completely inoffensive and a solid overall experience.
#23 One Piece: Summit War Saga (Anime) (10/10):
This was just an epic saga from start to finish, from Sabaody, to Amazon Lily, Impel Down and Marineford, each arc told a story that built up to a brutal, yet satisfying climax. I cant wait to see where the Straw Hats go from here!
#22 Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (7/10):
Solid Rune Factory Game that has a decent story, pleasant visuals and a nice vibe, though it does get tedious quickly and the game as a whole feels like it has a lot of missed potential.
#21 One Piece (Live Action) (Season 2) (10/10):
Just phenomenal! They managed to top the first season in both scale and quality. Each story arc from the original manga was adapted almost perfectly, with some changes that for the most part I really enjoyed! Absolutely Fantastic!
#20 One Piece (Live Action) (Season 1) (10/10):
A pretty flawless reimagining of the first saga from One Piece with some elements changed around and tightened for better pacing. The casting across the board was perfection and it felt like a great adventure. Looking forward to S2!
#19 Scott Pilgrim EX (6/10):
Solid, albeit short 2D brawler with decent, though flawed combat, great visuals and a good soundtrack. The level design is fine, though some areas suck and the constant backtracking makes it feel longer than it should be due to tedium. It was alright.
#18 Cat Quest III (7/10):
Really solid game, just like the first two entries. Combat is simple but fun, the visuals are cute and it's just a nice fun game to knock out in a day or so. That being said, feels a bit lacking in content compared to Cat Quest II.
#17 Resident Evil: Requiem (10/10):
Absolutely superb Resident Evil game. May be recency bias but of all that I've played, this is my favourite one. Story is great, gameplay is really enjoyable and the general flow just never gets boring. It's visually stunning too. Just amazing!
#16 God of War: Sons of Sparta (8/10):
Really cool metroidvania with a really nice art style, great music and great puzzle mechanics. Story was decent, though a bit low stakes and toned down compared to other GoW entries. Overall, pretty great. Fast travel sucked though...
#15 WALL-E (PS2) (8/10):
Surprisingly solid film tie-in game, with solid controls, varied gameplay and good visuals that holds up pretty well. It's quite short too, so none of the gameplay elements outstay their welcome.
#14 Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition (7/10):
Solid digital museum of the original Rayman with every version of the original game, including the expansions for the DOS version. DOS, PSX and Jag versions are solid, yet clunky. GBC version is cool for what it is, but GBA ver is foul
The world if Hearts of Iron IV didn't exist:
#13 Romeo Is a Deadman (6/10):
This is a really difficult game to review, cause the story is nonsensical and overtly convoluted, the boss design fluctuates between good and god awful, the music and vibes are great, but it just feels really clunky. I had a fun time, but not completely.
#12 One Piece: Thriller Bark Saga (Anime)(7/10):
Short, yet sweet, with a solid story and some fun moments throughout. Didn't like the villains in this saga much aside from Perona, who was a lot of fun. Brook is great though and his backstory with Laboon made me cry!
#11 Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (9/10):
Phenomenal game with a fun story, likeable characters and enjoyable gameplay. The visual style is mostly fine, though personally not fond of some character models. Soundtrack is solid as always. Really enjoyed this game!
Well my Valentine’s Day was fun, I spent it working till late into the evening and then spending the night in constant discomfort and melancholy.
#10 Power Wash Simulator 2 (6/10):
Decent sequel to the first power wash sim that basically just feels like a slight improvement on the first, though admittedly with weaker levels. Performance is also all over the place with stutters everywhere.
Ugh, feeling absolutely dreadful mentally today. Just not in the right frame of mind at all. Hope the next two hours fly by so I can at least get work out of the way. So many negative thoughts and emotions going through me atm...
Finally, a religion I can get behind.
Shit, I’m so sorry that happened to you, I’ve had similar happen to me in the past and it can be really disheartening to lose something you’ve spent years cultivating. Hope you can bounce back from this better than ever!
#9 Code Vein II (8/10):
Really solid soulslike with a superb story, likeable characters and an astounding soundtrack. Gameplay is fun, though some boss designs are complete ass. The open world, just like with Elden Ring is the worst aspect of the game, but overall I loved it.
Yeah, that Muppets Show special was pretty great.
