"truly admirable if you can stomach its preposterously sincere reverence for the japanese idol, which i mostly can't. phenomenally well-designed from audio to visuals to gameplay, just...well, i'll try to appreciate it from afar."

Valkyrie Profile (1999) - Jan 16, 2019

"a fascinating little jrpg that has one of the strangest atmospheres i've experienced in the genre. ultimately too repetitive for my taste, but genuinely unique."

Radiant Historia (2010) - Jan 16, 2019

"an interesting and enjoyable jrpg from atlus that is easily one of their best, primarily because it's so different from their usual affair, being largely unafflicted by modern anime horseshit. makes decent use of its time travel gimmick, though storylines never really branch properly, it being more a gameplay mechanic. is interesting in being perhaps the most asymmetric game i've ever played: the player and the opponent have entirely different battle mechanics. not sure if i like that."

Antichamber (2013) - Jan 16, 2019

"a lot of these "mind-bending", "escherian", "non-euclidean" puzzles have a tendency to be very dry in presentation, but this is quite aesthetically beautiful in its own minimalist way."

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver (2009) - Jan 16, 2019

"i wanna be the very best at rock paper scissors? yeah, put this with mario in the "i don't get it" category. no writing, no art, no strategy, a complete nothing."

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (2016) - Jan 16, 2019

"enjoyed the npc-driven world-building of the first half to some extent, the writers completely fucked it up in the second half with some truly insulting twists. that white shroud, come the fuck on. also, avoid the "true" ending. good grief. like most modern falcom games, sprinkled with a healthy dose of revoltingly bigoted trash. very fun to play as an action game."

Ori and the Blind Forest (2015) - Jan 16, 2019

"fun and fluid jumping around and wonderful animation, though i did seem to get stuck a lot on linear pathways for what is supposed to be a metroidvania. a narrative of hollywood environmentalism complete with an overbearing 3d cgi soundtrack, though, sure, that opening was really well done for what it is. not quite as well done as the intro of that pixar balloon movie, though."

SpaceChem (2011) - Jan 16, 2019

"definitely fun and difficult, but i admit this sort of optimization puzzle doesn't interest me quite as much as the highly crafted logic puzzle of something like the witness."

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (2017) - Jan 16, 2019

"horrible expansion with a bajillion extra mechanics that add nothing but an even more obnoxious narrative."
