This game is just so ridiculous and so funny to look at. The dogs don’t really have any interesting interactions with toys and furniture, which is a big drawback for a virtual pet game, but watching these physics-driven freaks of nature teeter around and trip over each other is an absolutely transcendent experience.

every Nier fan should play this once, just to appreciate what a cosmic miracle it is that Automata was good.

This game deserves 0.5 stars, but I gave it an extra because I love the wack-ass story too much.

This game is so far up its own ass that I’m ashamed to say I adore it. No one, for better or for worse, does it like Kojima.

To be a Warframe player is to be an unpaid QA staffer for a game that continuously shoots for, and falls short of, the stars. The game is a decade old sprawling mass of “what if we got the engine to do THIS?”, and that in its own way makes it fun. It is never polished, but always audacious.

Amazing movement controls and an unapologetically weird aesthetic, helmed by the most likeable live service dev team this side of FFXIV. And the mmo fashion game is unmatchable.

Despite the older 2D Marios showing their age and the mid-2010s 3D platformer revival being largely disappointing, somehow Mario 64 still plays like gold. When the hell are they gonna make Mario 65??

The game does retain the charm of the PS1 installments, & back then my Spyro-addled ass was just happy to play him on a portable system. But isometric platforming - especially combined with Spyro’s gliding mechanic - is just a recipe for disaster.

Best soulsborne DLC, best $20 I ever spent. For a third of the price of a full game, you get over half a full game’s content, including 2 of the best boss fights in the soulsborne canon. Orphan of Kos notwithstanding. Hate that guy.

Believe the hype, this game really does suck.

And it didn’t have to. A Barbie horse game on the PS2 could have actually been charming and fun, like a cross between the Chao Garden and the riding segments in Crash 3. Instead, girls had to settle for yet another janky pink POS.

This game blows. The item prices, whether free in-game currency or premium purchases, are absolute robbery. And for that price, the game has the audacity to reward you with a static png or 2 frame animation of a cat. Sometimes.

I recognize this was a milestone for the idle mobile genre, but it got powercrept by better imitators immediately. Folks always deserved better.

there’s “games that made you cry” and there’s “games that dropped the floor out from under you and sunk you into an existential fugue state for 24 hours.” That was me playing Mother 3 as a teenager.

Tighter than most RPGs of its era but can still disrespect your time. Recommend 2x emulator speed during non-story stuff.

the worst thing about this game being overhyped is that it is actually extremely fucking good. But it’s 2023; everyone has long past made up their mind on whether or not they’ll play Undertale. Honestly I don’t even know why I’m typing this.

ruined my life

The only living proof that AAA games can be good. Technically impressive, gorgeous, heartfelt and - crazily enough - actually fun.

honestly I got bored and stopped playing. the sequel is incredible though

Used to be a beautiful game until it got bogged down by freemium BS. Even if you make a few premium purchases, you’ll still spend more time watching ads than fish, and the limited events are grindy beyond being playable.

Despite being 6 years old, it turns my new phone into a single-serve hot pocket warming platter and drains battery like it’s mining bitcoin. If you loved it when it launched, don’t bother coming back.
