The Nintendo Switch is a hardware that allows Nintendo to popularize some of their hidden franchises like Animal Crossing. It's clear that Nintendo tried to do the same thing with Pikmin 4.

Describing Pikmin 4 is not an easy task. I can start by saying it's a real-time strategy game featuring little creatures that resemble ants. You control a captain who gives commands to these creatures, each with different characteristics. Your goal is to increase your army to allow you to carry more items, face enemies, and explore new places.

For me, Pikmin 4 is an easier game compared to the old ones. This new title is more accessible for any type of audience. Despite the old games being really hard and cruel sometimes, Pikmin 4 can be played by a child.

The game is really colorful, and the art and atmosphere are unique. There's nothing bad to say about this aspect of the game.

The only downside, for me, is the gameplay. I know I'm the only one complaining about this, but it was more enjoyable to control your army with the Wii U gamepad in Pikmin 3. It doesn't make Pikimin 4 bad, and if you never had the experience to play the failed Nintendo console, you won't understand what I'm talking about.

Pikmin 4 is a really good game and deserves more attention than it has. I highly recommend this game if you want to play something truly different from everything else.

Immaculate vibes, man!

I will always have New Leaf as my preferred Animal Crossing game, but after playing this for a bit I really respect the origins of the series. Sure, its more simple, more rough around the edges. But that makes it interesting! It may not have the endless content of New Leaf, but its got a unique feel, I respect that.

I will definitely be playing this more. I may write more detailed thoughts once I play a lot more.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an action-adventure game focused on one of the most popular superheroes of all time. In this game, players can control two Spider-Men as they attempt to save New York.

As for the gameplay, I can confidently say it is near-perfect. Exploring New York as Spider-Man is truly enjoyable, and the fights against both regular enemies and bosses are incredibly fun. However, one drawback for me is certain parts of the game where you control Mary Jane or the two Spider-Men in their everyday lives.

The story serves as a sequel to the first game and its DLC featuring Miles Morales. In my opinion, the storyline is the best we've seen for these characters. The interactions between Peter Parker and Miles Morales, with Peter as the mentor and Miles as the apprentice, are amazing.

We're also talking about one of the most beautiful games on the PS5. The graphics are stunning! Simultaneously, we get a near-perfect representation of New York, and revisiting the city was delightful for me.

In summary, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 stands out as one of the most enjoyable games of 2023. It's my Game of the Year, even though there are other games that may be more ambitious. It's a perfect sequel that enhances everything we saw before, even with almost no innovations.

Persona 5 Tactics is another spin-off game that allows us to control the Phantom Thieves. As the title suggests, it's not a turn-based RPG like Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal; instead, it's a tactical game similar to XCOM.

I really enjoy tactical games, but I must say that Persona 5 Tactics is the easiest game in this genre. There are almost no consequences for your wrong actions on the field. The main story consists of easy stages, and you only face some challenges when playing the side quests.

Talking about the story is challenging for me. As someone who loves the Persona 5 story, I can say that this spin-off falls far behind in this aspect. However, when compared to other games, it's still interesting. The best part, for sure, is the characters who remain super charismatic. At some point, I felt the game was unnecessarily huge.

To understand the story, you have to play Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal first. Otherwise, you won't grasp a significant part of the game and won't have the connections with these characters, who are the heart of this franchise.

The art initially made me feel like it took a step back. After a few hours, I started to enjoy it.

Persona 5 Tactics is a game destined for fans of Persona 5 and the Phantom Thieves. I don't recommend it if you've never played the main title before or if you don't want to spend more time with these characters. The gameplay is okay, but there are better tactical games out there.

This game is basically the previous title of the devs called Kings and Heroes but reskinned. I can't really say whether their intentions with re-releasing this as a single player game are pure or just a cashgrab.

Lets get two additional things out of the way, the art design is pretty nice and the character progression is POTENTIALLY interesting but that's about all good there is in Dungeons of Sundaria.

If this game was still in early access there would be alot of things I would turn a blind eye towards but this is allegedly a completed product despite feeling like a very elaborate showcase of game concept with very weak combat and really boring dungeon (couldn't finish the first dungeon before the 2 hours refund mark).

Despite all this, there are foundations for a pretty good dungeon crawling title so there is some hope for Sundaria to turn it around but it is a title that definitely should go back to early access for a next year or two.

CAN'T SPEAK ON COOP EXPERIENCE, NONE OF MY FRIENDS OWN THIS GAME.

100% the most overhyped game I've ever played, nothing actually met my expectations, the story and the ost were close, but the way people talk about this game I expected A LOT more.

I'm quite impressed by how much stuff this game has to offer for a ps1 game, I completely understand how this game was revolutionary, but I still wasn't able to enjoy the game.

The story until the halfway point (end of Disc 1) was extremely mediocre, but thankfully it gets really good after, the OST as well. The animations, cutscenes and VFXs were the best part of this game, how they were able to do them in ps1 game is beyond me.

Now, the game has aged like milk, the menus maybe were good at the time but are awful to go through, the combat system that punishes you for not playing fast is annoying as hell, the Gold Saucer is the worst part of any game I've have ever played, every mini game is terrible to play, specially the snowboard, the random encounters are way too frequent and the characters are extremely hit or miss, none are really special. Also, this is a nitpick on the PS4 version, but the HD 3D character look really bad and out of place on the overworld, the original is way pretier.

Overall, the game gets carried by the story and the ost for me, I'm completely disappointed.
