Platinum 341 Twisted Metal 4 (PS5)
What I learned: This game just feels like theft of many Vigilante 8 2nd Offense mechanics, it plays really bad. But the levels? I loved the design and all the little secrets

Been doing bingo cards now for a decade, only ever got a bingo once. Tomorrow will be no different but it will keep me interested during slower parts of the direct.

The Gameboy version just goes straight into the fights, it does offer you a bit of an easier time using moves but it still is the jankfest you know from the 16 bit systems. It might be shorter though. #Beat2025

If it weren't for an entire stage dedicated to throwing guys off a roof and the 'rushing' mode where you just throw people into the next county this would be a very generic beat em up. #Beat2025

#26 Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5)
I am appreciative of the low rank handhold storyline to help new players because let me tell you World beat me up and was too confusing for a good 60 hrs. And I love how high rank let me go and enjoy the Wilds. I liked this a lot more than World. #Beat2025

A quick Wayforward licensed title that has some truly hideous hitboxes. Also a title that would have been just as fine as a GBA title as they had to hotfix too many abilities to two buttons. #Beat2025

#23 Xenoblade Chronicles (Switch)
What can I really write here? 165 hours to beat the game and the extra story and it is easily a top 10 rpg I've ever played. I have so much passion for this game I have a giant 6k word script analyzing the world lore of this game sitting here. Play this. #Beat2025

#22 Armored Warriors (Arcade)
Ever play Einhander where you can take parts from other ships and transform your shmup experience? This is that concept but in a beat em up style. Beat up your enemies then wear them as trophies and fire insane blasts. Fantastic game. #Beat2025

I have to wonder if this was the answer to how do we make a Captain Commando sequel with a ton more mobility. I had never heard of this prior to doing the RA set and I can't recommend this wacky beat em up enough. #Beat2025

Ever wanted to play and underwater beat em up? What about one where you skip most of the game by just swimming around and then the other half of the stages are just rung away. It also has a punch out minigame, strange game, not great. #Beat2025

Gorgeous, fun to play like an old ps2 entry and full of characters. I wish what if scenarios were choices, I wish they went a bit more wild with them, and I wish they didn't just cut out large chunks of story for everyone that isn't Goku #Beat2025

It really does lack the excitement of abilities that the first had, a few of the bosses (moth and pirate) are dreadful. The final boss is weirdly absolutely free. It feels like an entry of scrapped ideas from the first two. #Beat2025

A lot of SF2 ports feel a bit icky but this was a really solid well made port. Sometimes they can look ugly, the controls get stiff, or even worse they alter the AI but nope this was good. #Beat2025

#15 The Little Mermaid (NES)
I think when I tried this before I just tried to rush thru it but when you take it slow its a pretty decent game. I still think it is kinda bad that if you die then you will never be able to open most chests. At full power most chests are also empty. #Beat2025
