Love this Game.
It a more simple DK clone but it was totally worth my time.
It's a bit short but since it's a jump n run thats perfectly fine.
Nice graphics, a sweet soundtrack and a good mix in difficulty.
If microids will ever release another Marsupilami you can count me in!

Well... I can see why people like this Game BUT It is not for me. I'm going back to Dark Souls. And will not buy Elden Ring 2 when it comes out.
The open world (as revolutionary as it may be) killed many things I loved in Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
All those Bosses where either too easy or some of them even are recycled. Almost every dungeon looks the same, every merchant looks the same, most of the bosses had identical move patterns.
Is it a bad game because of these things? No. But is it the masterpiece so many people think it is? Not for me.
DS always felt rewarding. In almost every way.
But Elden Ring does not. Al least not in every way.
And all those flaws have their origin in Elden Ring being this large open world. Quality over quantity would have helped this game in so many ways.

Final Fantasy X is the best Final Fantasy to me.
It almost feels like going on vacation. The world is full of memorable places and they are special enough to give you this "vacation in another part of the world"-feeling.
The battle system is maybe the best JRPGs ever had. It works well, is fast and just complex enough to keep you entertained throughout.
But is also has some downsides. The characters. Yes, you heard me right. The characters.
I think Tidus is annoying. 70% of the things he says annoy me. His english voice almost gives me headaches.
Yuna is the emo girl (for a reason). This is tiring.
Wakka is (except Kimahri) the only character with slang. THE ONLY. Why? And his relationship with Lulu is just bad writing. Why would she (rational & intelligent) want dumb and silly Wakka as a partner? The brother of her passed away husband. So stupid and clearly there because of the silliness JRPGs use to have now and then.
And then we have Seymour. The "bad" archetype of JRPG-characters with his fancy hair and his almost feminine touch.
Rikku is loud, squeaky and a bit annoying, too.
Auron and Kimahri are fine with their oneliners.
And to top it all: Over here in germany we have english voices & subtitles translated from the japanese version of the game. So what they say and what the subtitle reads are different. Even names are different. This is bad. It pulls you out of the scene and out of the story.
Yeah.. and then there is Biltzball.. by far the worst side activity in every Final Fantasy Game. It's slow, sluggish and no fun at all.
But "enough" (as Auron would say) complained. FFX is aside from the reasons above maybe the best JRPG there is. And sometimes I ask myself why they can not replicate the "vacation"-feeling I had with FFX: Because there is only one FFX.One Final Fantasy they got the world "right". At least in my opinion.

What can I say.. Irrational Games did it again and build a masterpiece. Burial at the sea connected Infinite with Rapture in a way that blew my mind.
2022
I hate to admit it.. because I really wanted to love frontiers.. but I don't.
First the PROs:
- These "old" levels where you have to collect all 5 red coins or have to finish in a specific amount of time.
- The overall sense of speed
- The idea that they wanted to change something
- There is always something to do
CONTRA:
- Hate fighting giants. The controls feel so wonkey that I needed to start these bossfights again, again and again. When I suddenly made it, I didn't know how.
- The open world is so ugly (Switch) and I really don't like the art style.
- The dialogues where aweful (in german)
Overall I have to say that I enjoyed the Mini-Levels and didn't like the open world so much.
I think if you enjoy Open world games you can find a lot to do here.
But since I didn't like Elden Ring or Botw because of their Open worlds I really don't know why I thought it would be different this time with Sonic.
Guess I will have to give Sonic Mania a try next. This will be more up my alley.

Yes, maybe this is not the best jrpg on the market and maybe some of it's aspects were a bit childish BUT since when do jrpg gamers complain about such things? ;)
I liked the gameplay, liked the characters and I loved the soundtrack.
This game helped me getting through COVID lockdown easily and I can't thank it enough for that.

One of the games that are made for grownups. Not Just because the violence (which it has plenty of) but because the people and the story. Easily on my Top10 list from the 360/PS3 era.
If you can find it somewhere cheap give it a try. You might be surprised how good it is from a Story/atmosphere Point of View .

The Outer Worlds has many things to offer I really like: A team that follows you on your journey with own opinions and quests, diversive worlds and a nice soundtrack.
Many of the quests will add to the finale, too.
BUT everything feels like the game is totally okay with the fact that every Main Fallout was bigger, had better loot and felt more polished.
In Outer Worlds everything is smaller: Towns, Secrets, Loot,...
Overall I had a good time. But to say it is a perfect game would be a lie.

Love this Game.
Did not like the last map (fire) so much but there is always the tendency to have doomsday scenario near the end of most games I guess.
Every other stage/world was entertaining to the max. The soundtrack was perfect and the content was totally worth 60€.
Kirby and the forgotten land is my Game of the year 2022.

Pretty good game.
Way better than I thought (did Not play the first two), but let's be clear: I want Eternal Darkness back! If Luigi is the most suspense we'll get from Nintendo I will be sad. And frightened.. but mostly sad. Luigi is a good game nonetheless.

98 It was the best game we had.
And it still holds up today.. of course we have many better games now, but when playing ocarina of time you can still find a lot of enjoyment.
Something you can't say about many other games from this time (First fully 3D Games).
BUT It shows it's age in the controls and some dungeons as well (I'm looking at you Shadow Temple). Liked the beginning, loved the mid part and didn't like water temple & shadow temple.

The moment I entered Rapture I never really left. What job in the great chain would suit my skills? Where would I spend my free time, in Arcadia or in the Fighting McDonagh drinking a cold beer?
Bioshock is the ONE game I can Play again and again. I Love it and always will love it.

Yes, this is inspired by Dark Souls.
Yes, you can upgrade weapons, your mannequin and healing juice with souls.
So is it any good? Well.. If your heart desires for any soulslike: yes.
But let's be honest.. this will never replace the joy and satisfaction you feel when beating ornstein/smough.
The world is too boring, the enemies too easy to beat, the bosses are jokingly easy. BUT wait for the dungeons... They will finish you. Again and again. Why?
These dungeons make no sense and are waaay to time consuming. 20 min walk, you die and have to repeat it all again? Why are there no shortcuts? Clever shortcuts made Dark Souls great.
So in this case: Mission failed.

This is the real third movie.
The dialogue was absolutely worth the couple of hours I spend with the game.

This game reminded me a bit of the newgrounds browsergames from the early 2000s. You have a comparably flat game with a shocker element to it. Just like the newgrounds games back then. But they where free. And this one wants your money. 2.5/5.0
