It does make me wonder if there plans for more but the obviously very very limited budget just couldn’t get in those third characters in the end? But it’s so strange.

It’s a strong cast! Itsuki was my fave.

I have no idea when I’ll meet my best boy Eugeo maybe I won’t meet him before I’m bored with it.

Is it like, good and worth recommending for everyone? Probably not. But it’s a lot neater than I expected. And actually made me interested enough in SAO to grab the first audiobook.

I have only tried a few multiplayer runs but I’ve also found this weird 5 parties with one goal but competing for rank really fascinating, taking equal parts battle royale and monster hunter.

But also I think the past doesn’t have to be inherently cheaper? Should the complete extended cut of lord of the rings be a few bucks?

Given the general trend of high priced remasters it makes me think these actually do significantly better than any of those cheaper efforts in the past.

Should you be upset about Mario galaxy? Maybe? I’m torn I think games should be cheap and accessible. But also I saw that when Sony did the ps2 10-$15 classics on ps3 more or less the exact way and price point everyone seems to want it just didn’t work out?

It always feels weird how it seems a lot can pass by until Nintendo does it?

The good thing is though, if you don’t want to buy Mario galaxy for 40 usd you can buy a lot of neat stuff instead!

I gather the sequel "polishes up" a lot of this stuff giving you a more directly empowered tool kit from the get go, which I have mixed feelings about but I'll have to finish up this little joyous game first.

Frogun while not feeling awful at the start, really provides a lot of ways to be clever to make what at a glance is a slow platformer remarkably fun and expressive despite the simple kit.

Playing frogun made me realise something I'd long taken for granted, as while I'm not a great Umihara player, I know my toolkit. When you don't know the kit though, the game feels pretty eh.

You should not base your success on number or value of games finished, I just have been tracking out of curiosity!
