| 5 51% | Lords of Exile (2024) - Rated 29 Feb 2024
"Very quick and basically fun 8-bit styled platformer styled seemingly about 75% on Castlevania and 25% on Ninja Garden. Worth an evening's playthrough if you're into that kind of thing, though I doubt it'll stay with me. Infinite lives and a good six or seven checkpoints per level make it beatable for pretty much anyone, unlike the games it's inspired by - up to you if that's a good or bad thing."

| 6 68% | King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones (2002) - Rated 30 Jan 2024
"Really cool fan remake where they even brought in original series voice actors; wild to realize this is now over 20 years old. Don't give it my highest score though because let's be honest it's still pretty obtuse unless you use a guide."

"So look - pixel art is among the best I've seen in any game EVER; aesthetic presentation fully on point. Gameplay mostly fun, if a bit monotonous with each protag only having 3 spells you'll use over and over the whole game. But locking the true final boss and true ending behind having to collect 100 PERCENT of all these collectibles/doo-dads strewn across the world is ASSHOLE GAME DESIGN. Hated this 25 YEARS AGO in Jet Force Gemini; I can't fucking BELIEVE a game in 2023 would pull this shit."

"Yep it’s pinball."

| 5 51% | Timespinner (2018) - Rated 26 Nov 2023
"A very basic and short Metroidvania. Everything looks and sounds nice, reminiscent of the Nintendo DS Castlevania games. Play control smooth. But the world isn’t really interconnected in interesting ways, most areas just extending out into a long and flat map. Too much lore for a game its length tbh."

| 6 68% | Prison City (2023) - Rated 26 Nov 2023
"A very quick and efficient NES-styled platformer with smooth controls that feel a bit like Vice Project Doom, light exploration elements (think Ducktales) and clever bosses. Playthrough start to finish first time took me like 3 hours, which could be a pro or con depending on your mood. Would have preferred if the ledge-grabbing could be at least toggled to automatic instead of having to hold a button though."

| 4 36% | Vernal Edge (2023) - Rated 17 Nov 2023
"The basic controls felt pretty good and the pixel art visuals were nice but the world was just a bit TOO open ended and combat gauntlet sections more tedious than fun. My playthrough fizzled out; I did not finish it."

| 6 68% | Final Fantasy XVI (2023) - Rated 17 Nov 2023
"As torn as I’ve ever been on a game! It looks and sounds fantastic as you’d hope, the battle system is fun (if more hack ‘n slash than RPG) and the plot & world will intrigue and satisfy fans of epic/dark/high medieval fantasy. It also has very monotonous gameplay with zero minigames, a billion fetchy side quests that become near torture and utterly ruin the pacing, and if you’re OCD about watching all the cutscenes like me then strap yourself in for literally like 25 hours of them, dear god."
