The Last Blade 2

another fighting game I forgot to put here while I was actually playing it, and it's not bad I guess, the mechanics are neat but I just wasn't really taken by the roster and was under the weather when I was giving it a try so maybe I'll give it another go in the future

"I have a super where I stand with my back turned looking cool as a bunch of explosions fly out, do you?"
"I have a super where I kiss my wife"

Ninja Gaiden 4

yeah I really liked this. Yakumo's playstyle rocks, level and encounter design is pretty solid, and for once they didn't forget to bring good bosses... though Ryu's levels felt like complete filler get him out of here

would want to replay this on harder difficulties at some point!

action game discourse is so fake bro

still yet to stumble into that one but I can't wait

shadow the hedgehog

I have been crashing the president's plane every day for the good part of the year now

ffx I have finished in january and still haven't really been able to stop thinking about it, I get it now man, a number of ff games in and I finally get the love people have for final fantasy as a cultural titan

thematically poignant, artistically strong and just plain fun to play

tgaa is the one outlier here for landing on the "worse" part :(

took me way too long, felt like a remnant of a former friend I'd rather not be reminded of, made me realise how much I have moved on from this series because the characters did not stick and I just did not care for the mystery at all

hundred line is something I've been chipping away at basically since its release, 58 endings in atmt and no matter how miffed some of them can make me feel the game's star routes are more than good enough to make up for them

will prolly replay the first playthrough of the game on hard after I'm dun

no amount of middling routes or so-so endings will make me forget the wonder of those few initial hundo playthroughs, magical stuff

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

great time, the battle system makes a surprisingly good jump to real-time though still far from ideal, the cast was fun and the city felt good to explore, the music was awesome, and the ending straight up got me emotional

would be interested in seeing them do this format again

yeah I dunno what this would have even added to the movie

The Nightmare Before Christmas

overrated I guess? idk I still had a good time and it obviously looks great but nobody except Jack grabbed me and only a few songs stood out, also the ending felt weirdly unsatisfying

Björk - Debut

I'm going to pretend like Play Dead is actually on the album cuz it's simply the best song here, and tho the rest didn't quite live up to it imo it was still pretty good, only a few duds for me here and there

crippling trust issues, the internet being the way it is today, and other life circumstances certainly don't help either

need to do something with my life next year
