You know what's a good game? Bloodborne. Also Zelda Majora's Mask. And Streets of Rage 2. Plus Resident Evil 2 on PS1... and PS4. Sonic Mania too

In the end, the NPCs in #MetroidPrime4 weren't the biggest annoyance. Unfortunately, the core problem goes way deeper:

#NINJAGAIDEN2 is all the rage right now, so it’s easy to forget that Tecmo also just dropped a new generation of #DynastyWarriors. If you wondered whether it’s worth picking up still, some thoughts from a series critic:

They're doubling down on all the lame things from #Doom Eternal in the sequel, it looks like... Hot take? I don't need storytelling or open world gameplay in this franchise. Doom 2016 was awesome because it was a modern boomer shooter and nothing more.

No visible hardware gimmicks on the #Switch2 so far and #MarioKart is clearly based on the prior engine. I'm sure the software reveal in April will be a lot more satisfying, but this announcement teaser felt kinda redundant - admittedly, the leaks took the excitement out of it.

A good time to be a fan of Japanese games, even during the #TheGameAwards. Project Century looks sick, the return of Onimusha, Virtua Fighter and Ninja Gaiden is welcome. I hope Ueda's new game doesn't need five years to come out though...
