By DS standards this is a great fighting game with a pleasantly large roster. The story mode is a little too short but otherwise nice little portable Bleach game.

Slightly better than the game it's a sequel to since the roster is larger, more effort in animations, and more customization. Still kinda of a basic arena fighter though.

Generic arena fighter with almost no depth.

Straight up garbage.

Shorter but more fun and interesting than the original game. Easily one of the best superhero game adaptions.

I wanted to play this entry because it took place in the future rather than the past. I wasn't expecting much but this actually has some entertaining albeit predictable plot twists. This is absolutely the kind of Castlevania story that could only work near the end of the timeline and I love it for that.

When it comes to gameplay this is a Metroidvania in which the protag can steal powers from monsters he defeats. It's simple but effective. Overall this is one of my favorite Castlevania games.

This sure is bigger than the first game. The maps are huge and there's way more mechanics yet that size upgrade has resulted in collectible placements being less thought out and refined. Overall a good sequel.

An alright update. New tasks, invisible clouds, new sabotage, etc add nice new diversity. Unfortunately no new unlockables or anything else to stay invested after getting used to the new mechanics.

This is a very standard platformer for the era it released. Nothing revolutionary but nothing too terrible.

Decent fighting game. Half the roster being paid DLC hurts though since the base game only offers a dozen.

This game has great gameplay mechanics, power ups, charming level design, and so much more. Easily the best 2D Mario games ever made. My only complaint is the lack of boss diversity. I still can't believe I just streamed this game for 17 hours until I got 100% completion on the day it released.

Not the best Jackbox but a fine addition to the collection. Hypnotorious is my fav new game.

I think this game captures my exact opinion on Sonic as a franchise. Had potential and occasionally has good ideas but is just alright in execution. Not bad, just not super noteworthy relative to how popular they are.

This is one of those games where you can tell the devs put a lot of effort into it but gosh why is it so unnecessarily hard? Not in an actually fun learning to get better kind of way. Just in a feels downright unfair kind of way.

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.
