Persona 5
2016
i had a killer ephebophilia joke loaded in the chamber for this one but it left me so perplexed by the end im not even gonna tell it. hard to hate, just as hard to love, probably ok by the end. disappointing way to end the persona trilogy
one of the first games i played that deeply rooted my love of fighting games, pixel art, and morrigan aensland
this is easily the best ratchet and clank game with a goated antagonist but everytime a fongoid made that professor frink three stooges sound it dropped another star and had to earn it back
Yakuza 0
2015
my fondest memory of this game is playing the autistically in-depth 2 player bowling game with a friend and saying “do you wanna just go actually fuckin bowling” and then we stopped playing and went actual bowling. thanks for that yakuza
Hi-Fi Rush
2023
its a pretty simple action game and the gimmick kind works against it in making every encounter pretty by-the-numbers since everything being on beat means there's little room for enemies to surprise you at all and its pretty easy because of that but god damn it i feel cool hitting things in sync with music
who knew that samurai of the tokugawa shogunate were 20 feet tall and could shoot fireballs using their nyatasha nyanners trooper card dlc? or is that one of those “alternate history” things
Resident Evil 6
2012
a hundred hours too long and also bad, but pretty funny in co op and Jake’s campaign was genuinely pretty quality and should have been the entire focus of this game. definitely deserves the hate doe

funnily enough this was probably my entry to the final fantasy series, quite fun and you can get a lot of mileage out of it if you like the combat. also i fucking hate fighting onion knight
Unicorn Overlord
2024
I can't tell you the exact moment that Unicorn Overlord sunk its claws in me but I seemed to have 100%'d the game in five days. I enjoyed it, but I really can't definitively say what exactly hooked me. I think I enjoyed how most of the stages are very bit-sized and feel almost like quick puzzles than the usual time slog a lot of SRPGS fall into.
My only complaint if there is no way to fastforward through battle animations. You either have to watch the entire battle play out or you skip the battle entirely. I found this really annoying when trying to test out formations to see why some of the would completely fail. A fast forward would have really made me tinker with formations. I ended up just coming up with about 4 really good teams and just giving up with the rest.
EDIT: Gunbusted corrected me. There is a fastforward button. I have no idea why I never noticed this. Thank you for correcting me! I wish I had found this sooner.
After doing every single mission in the game, I just wanted more. I dunno, a 50 hour game where you end up still wanting more might be a really good game. So many games outstay their welcome or feel padded but Unicorn Overlord felt just right.
