My first Soulsbourne - an unforgettable experience. I'll remember fondly the hours I spent trying to beat Lady Butterfly.

Crazy how much game there is here - I could play it at least one more time and still have plenty that I won't have seen.

My first Metroidvania - not sure anything but Silksong will be able to top it.

2020

Beautiful game, fun to explore - ultimately pretty empty; missions are samey

Really good, might play again someday (played 2019).

My introduction to the Yakuza series - excellent prequel

The original wall-break game - really glad I played it.

Fun for a few sessions, no long-term potential for me

A platformer you can really sink your teeth into; the sort of freedom I felt with my first ever platformer

Punchy combat if a bit basic - Swinging around town is the primary seller

2022

The intrigue wears off fast then it becomes a clunky walking simulator.

Great follow-up to 2018, beautiful game, much more fleshed out than its predecessor.
