Pros:
• Gameplay is very solid. Combos are fun and there's not too many flaws besides simple beta moment stuff. The final release will definitely be great in this regard I think.
• Assists are better implemented than any platform fighter I've played. They're not too overwhelming but not underwhelming either. Choosing one to help you per match just feels right compared to summoning via an item like other games do it.
Cons:
• The roster is incredibly small. 9 fighters for a final release is underwhelming. Most pay to play platform fighters offer around 20 and there's some free to play that offer around 50 or even more. 9 is even less than the original Smash Bros on 64. A small roster doesn't mean a bad game but there's just not many options.
Custom Content:
This is both a pro and a con. The ability to make custom content easily is really amazing but when custom content becomes equally as good as actual content then there's problems. It shows how easy new content is to make and makes the game's biggest flow even more apparent.

I played Ninja Saga when I was young and it was a great Naruto fan game. This definitely gives off although successor vibes to that game although it seems to be a bit more greedy with unlockables and lacks a few features NS had. Could become much better with updates.

They someone took a really bad game and made it worse by making it a 2D handheld game. You need to kill every enemy to beat levels but it's impossible to scroll the screen backwards to beat enemies if you walked past them.
Decent small puzzle game but doesn't really offer anything unique or exciting.
Tiki and the Three Houses leaders are a nice start to the DLC but weren't enough alone to make me want to buy the expansion.
A fine expansion. New prequel storyline that helps you get to know some characters better, explore a new titan, and slightly different gameplay. I didn't really get attached to any of the characters and I really disliked forced side quests which both factor into it just being an ok experience for me.

Mega Evolution is insanely cool and it was great seeing the series in 3D for the first time. Story and a few other aspects were lacking but I don't normally play the game for story anyways so it was still a lot of fun.
Very fun with friends but kinda eh with random online players. The amount of post launch support this game got was great and I'm a little sad there's no more plans to continue it.
2018
Short game that is great for speedrunning. There are 20 levels that are all 1 minute long and 4 characters that play slightly differently.
2023
Semi realistic looking horror game that doesn't really stick out much from other horror games.

Alt + F4 = free win.
I've binge played Rising, the NES game, and Solid 1+2 before this. I didn't really care for the NES title but still respected it. The rest I loved a lot for their very powerful antiwar messages. 1 and 2 especially had strong messages that hit me hard emotionally. Additionally, 1 and Rising had a lot of charm to them. So many moments like hanging which player # you are in 1 to defeat a boss were cool and memorable.
Going into 3 I had fairly high expectations since I heard it's a fan favorite and since I loved 1 and 2 so much. Gameplay wise I like the camo system and am a bit mixed on the food system. Overall a very solid addition gameplay wise. The main thing that holds this game back for me is the story didn't impact me as much as the others. Most of the villains in this were boring in comparison to what the others offered except for one near the end which was actually very well written. Besides the spectacular ending there just wasn't much that jumped out at me during the story TBH. I do think this is a good prequel but just didn't have the extra spark that made the other games special to me. The antiwar message in other games was done better, life lessons were taught better, the plotlines felt more deep, etc.

This added enough to somewhat be worth revisiting but not enough to actually be exciting or keep me playing for extended periods of time.
The new gauntlet mode is very fun and made it worth revisiting the game again but the new hero and other new content is very minimal. The new costumes are nice for example but overall this DLC doesn't compare to how much Xenoblade 2 got.
