One of the main reasons video games are my favorite art form and probably my favorite work of sci fi ever made. Something about the gunplay just feels better here than any other FPS that I've played. There's a perfect amount of variety in guns, enemies, and locations to keep it refreshing without being overwhelming. The way the dystopian story/atmosphere are so seamlessly integrated with the gameplay made me feel more immersed in a game's world than I ever had before.

Easily my favorite Kirby platformer. The art style is immaculate and the levels each revolving around different yarn transformations makes for some really creative level design. Nice cozy co op game too <3

An interesting deconstruction of RPGs that questions the notion of what a video game is, which I can appreciate, but I feel like it tries to accomplish way more than it's able to in such a short span of time. The game drops you into a world with one dimensional characters that you interact with for a few hours before beating you over the head with "oh you're LEAVING US???" and the writing just feels really rushed. Combat's fun, music's good, and the art style is appealing, but that's really all it has going for it for me.
