Short game that is great for speedrunning. There are 20 levels that are all 1 minute long and 4 characters that play slightly differently.
Well crafted short horror game. Feels like it needs more to it tho and thankfully there are two sequel chapters to try.
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.

Alt + F4 = free win.
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.

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 had moderate expectations going into this and I think it met them. Had some neat plotlines and surprises. I feel like 0 kinda carried this story though. Weakest of the 3 Yakuza in terms of both gameplay and story but not bad overall. Just solid.

This is a nice hidden gem that answers a question that no one really asked: "What is Dragon Quest characters could summon JoJo stands?" I like how well Toriyama's art style can capture a sense of fantasy that blends in sci Fi so well.
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.

This is a Star Fox game that wishes if was a Zelda game. There is actually some charm to it and I like some of the concepts it has but the execution would've been a lot better.

This is my favorite of the original trilogy. I like the introduction of Starly and also the villain who was the main antagonist of the previous two games became just the minion of a much more serious threat.
I wasn't expecting multiple routes but they definitely helped flesh out the characters. I was not expecting the plot twist related to the main protag and a villain at all. Nice story that touches on serious themes.
My only complaint is one I have with most visual novels. I just wish there was more gameplay.

Not that the rating is for the game as a whole (you can find my base game review here:
https://www.backloggd.com/games/infinity-strash-dragon-quest-the-adventure-of-dai/) but this written segment will be for the bonus content.
The DQ3 costumes are nice extras although a part of me feels like they could've just been secret in game unlockables rather than paid DLC. Being able to play as Hyunkel wearing Psaro's armor is, however, absolutely worth the extra $5 for me. That costume is so raw.
