It was super cool to learn about this kinda obscure Nintendo series through this collection. I wasn’t sure if I would like it at first, but I ended up really liking it! It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s still a pretty fun time.
I do wish it wasn’t $60 though. I know a lot of my friends would probably like this game, but there’s no way I can suggest dropping $60 on this game.

I think it is super wild that there are so many RPGs out there that take inspiration from this game, while very few accomplish the same achievements this game does. It is fantastic.
This was my 4th time trying to play this game. First, I tried to play it on my hacked SNES Classic. Got up to Robo and stopped playing. Then I tried the PC port in 2021. Port sucked. I tried again in 2022. Port still sucked. Finally, I tried the PC port again, and now works.
So to start, story. I do think the game has a fantastic opening. But then, it kinda drags a little for a bit. But then you hit the mid point of the game, and the entire concept of this game finally clicks. I ended up falling in love with every member of the cast.
This game has a ton of side content, that initially, I had no intentions of doing. However, many friends HEAVILY suggested I do them, and yup I agree, they are all very important and worth doing. All of the character specific quests are great.
Gameplay, this game is also great, though I do have a few nitpicks. Combat is super fun, no complaints there. However, navigation is a little weird. There were a lot of times where I really had no idea where to go, and with no quest menu, I had no way to double check.
I think this game could really benefit from some kind of HD-2D remaster to add a quest menu, and maybe even markers for main quests and side quests. I think it would do wonders to improve the game for a newer audience.
Along side that, why is Chrono Cross on all platforms, but the only modern way to play Chrono Trigger is the Steam version? This game should be on all modern platforms, and I can't find a good reason for why it's not, besides maybe a remake is in development.
Side note - during my playthrough, I was heavily considering dropping it while the story was at a low point. I am super happy I pushed through, because this game was really worth it. I am super excited to revisit it for NG+ at some point.

Sonic Unleashed is a childhood game of mine that I will forever love no matter what. I stand by this game having the best 3D levels in any Sonic game by far. The music is absolutely wonderful. I love the vibes of the 2000's Sonic story. And yeah idc, Wearhog Sonic is fucking cool.
With that said, this replay might have convinced me that this is no longer my favorite 3D Sonic game. The medal collecting was a bit of an unnecessary grind that I hate every time I play this game. Werehog, while I don't think it is nearly as bad as people thing, is a little tedious with how long some of the levels end up being. And GOD is Eggman Land such an unfun final level. With all that said, this game has some of the highest highs of the entire series. While I do think Generations is the better 3D Sonic overall, this game reaches higher highs than Generations, and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love this game despite its flaws.

This might be one of the worst games I have ever played, which is such a bummer. I don't consider myself a fnaf fan, but this one peaked my interest. I wish it didn't because this was one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had playing a game. Decided to drop it and a few months later, I see a clip of the ending that fully verified to me that there is absolutely no reason to see this one through to the end. Awful. Stay away.

I am so happy that I finally have gotten to play through Metroid Prime on Nintendo Switch! My many years of waiting to check out this subseries of Metroid have finally paid off with one of Nintendo's best remasters ever! What an absolutely wonderful metroidvania. I totally see why people have hyped up this series for so many years. Now port 2 and 3!
This game is fine.
I tried playing this game a couple times, and finally decided to force myself to finish it. Tbh I’m not a fan of how a lot of the levels are designed to work for this game, with a ton of em just being minute long levels.
Also yeah, obvious point, but this port sucks. Everything is super over saturated for no reason, fps drops all the time, and just overall very cheap feeling. Though I don’t think any of the port issues really impacted my experience with the game THAT much.
A lot of people say Colors is the natural evolution of Unleashed, and GOD do I so strongly disagree with that. Unleashed’s levels are miles ahead of this game
Music is fantastic tho! Actually the reason I decided to play this game was because of hearing Colors music at the Sonic Symphony
