| 4 36% | The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (2024) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"Zelda has been my go-to answer when asked about my favorite game franchise for a quarter century now, but I must admit I'm struggling with this one. It's super cool to have a Zelda overworld to explore and dungeons to puzzle through, etc - but man I just CAN'T wrap my mind and gaming instincts around having to summon these beds and crates for basic movement and pots and rocks to throw and/or other monsters to fight battles with. Every second I just wish I had a good old sword & shield in hand..."

| 6 68% | Visions of Mana (2024) - Rated 27 Oct 2024
"I have mixed-ish leaning positive opinions. The battle system is pretty smooth and fluid and enjoyable, ably combining JRPG and hack n slash; the items/magic usage more akin to the former mixed well with chopping and weaving and dodging associated with the later. Nice light high fantasy look and atmosphere and world building too. On the other hand we have the usual 82 million unnecessary side quests, countless useless items/classes, and the ambiguous, unsatisfying ending is whack."

"Excellent Metroidvania package."

"Amused me well enough as a more take on Sierra / Quest for Glory formula."

| 6 68% | Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022) - Rated 31 Jul 2024
"Ultimately slight experience that only gets even marginally tough on the last boss or two (I think I died maybe ten times total throughout the whole game), but colorful and keeps the attention. Some annoying things (did we need THIS many Treasure Roads? And why keep the Waddle Dee missions secret until each level has been completed?), but it's cute and the mouthful mode mixes up the Kirby formula just enough. Pretty robust postgame with the Isolated Isles, Ultimate Arena etc."

| 3 22% | Tales of Zestiria (2015) - Rated 01 Jul 2024
"I gave it an honest shot but was driven to the point of insanity by the nonstop “set the controller down and watch” cutscenes. Talk talk talk, anime scene anime scene anime scene, skit skit skit, like - MOTHERFUCKER!! I’M TRYNA PLAY A VIDEO GAME HERE!!! MAKE A TV ANIME IF YOU WANNA MAKE A TV ANIME!! (Beyond that I could’ve maybe gotten into the battles and exploring the world etc but god damn man. Sometimes I’m tempted to just go back to playing nothing but NES platformers forever.)"

| 8 91% | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024) - Rated 24 Apr 2024
"Hovering between a 7 or 8 because I do think the sidequests and minigames were overkill (once they introduced Gears & Gambits I was like FUCK OFF) - but as an epic adventure that blends beloved lore & characters, semi-open world exploration, reasonably fun/complex battle systems, good dungeons, high customization, great music and fun card & racing side games, it's hard not to recommend. The fact I beat all 120+ hours of it when I put most games these days down partway through speaks volumes!"

| 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."
