I'll probably update this when I reach 500 games played on the Backloggd counter. I'm sure there are still great games out there for me to discover that could end up on this list.

Well, I've finished the second 100-day video game music challenge. I'm satisfied, as I've now managed to include many more songs that I like.
And now that it's over, I have more time and energy to focus on playing and reviewing, so I hope to pick it up again soon.

I never considered a new DQ3 remake necessary but I'm glad it happened because it paved the way for DQ2 Remake. The only game in the series whose developers always lamented being unable to realize their vision due to time and system constraints
They're giving Dragon Quest II the respect it deserves

Those who complain about HD-2D games, saying "there are too many," "they all look the same," act as if there are 100 of them, when there are barely 9 (including unreleased).
It's ironic because many of these critics haven’t even played the games and probably wouldn’t, even if they looked different

The people who complain the most about the HD-2D style are the ones who haven't even played many (or any) games with those graphics or aren't even interested in those games.
On the other hand, those who follow HD-2D games ask for more, so I think it's good that there are more games like this

I’m not sure if this is a hot take or not but I really like the HD2D art style. People are saying we’re getting too many games with it & all I can say is MORE.
It’s one of the most eye catching art styles (and unique) we have on the market right now. It also brings life to older titles.

Well... I ended up making the list, even though I don't feel like its purpose leads to anything or is particularly significant or important. It's certainly kind of strange

It looks like Octopath Traveler 0 will take the story from the mobile game as a starting point to tell a familiar, yet new, tale
Hmm... interesting. It won't be the same story, but at the same time, they'll share a lot in common
Sounds good. I haven't played CotC, but I want to someday
