This game isn't bad, but I wouldn't call it good either. It's extremely boring. This game's highs are the levels that play like Sonic Unleashed's daytime stages, unfortunately those levels are only 5% of this game. The remaining 9% are 2D levels and 2D sections within the 3D levels that absolutely kill this game's pacing. Sonic also controls pretty poorly in 2D.
This game's writing is also terrible. I liked it when I was a kid, but as an adult I find it absolutely insufferable. Constant cringe-inducing one-liners, out of character dialogue, and poor attempts at being funny. It all adds up to making you want to skip every cutscene.
This game has amazing art direction, a fantastic OST, and an overall fun vibe. I wish that the actual gameplay was good. Play this if you want to kill time. It's only about 2 hours long, not even. I personally do not recommend.

One of my favorite stories ever told in a piece of media. Persona 3 tackles the subjects of life, death, and grief in a unique way that I've yet to see any other piece of media do. On top of that, Portable's visual novel format enhances the P3 story a lot, and makes it feel more immersive than the PS2 version ever could be. Another alteration to P3P is the new female protagonist. The female protagonist's route is a great addition to the game, aside from adding replayability, all of her social links are rewritten, allowing you to immerse in the world of Persona 3 without the outlandishly terrible writing of the male protagonist's social links. This is one of my favorite games ever and I highly recommend people check it out.

I played this on my Apple TV with a DualSense. I thought it was very fun! The characters control well and the levels are fun! It's a very replayable game that's fun to speedrun! That being said, I'm not a fan of how repetitive the game gets towards the end, making you play almost every single mission just to unlock the final boss. Despite that, the game never outstayed its welcome. Its short and sweet. I hope this can be ported to PC and consoles in the future so that this game can be experienced by more people. I recommend it.

A not-so-great collection of some of Sonic's best outings. Filled with random bugs, errors, inconsistencies, extremely low quality audio, and other glaring flaws, I do not recommend this to anyone. That is, in its unmodded state. The amazingly talented modding community for Sonic has gone the extra mile to actually make Origins one of the best ways to play these games, fixing a vast majority of these bugs and inconsistencies. If you want to play this collection, make sure to get Sonic Origins Ultrafix! As this is a review of the base product, I sadly cannot include Ultrafix as part of the rating. The base product as-is, even after all of its updates, remains a laughably bad rerelease. I do not recommend.

This game is very unique, and there's no other way to play it than on DS. This game uses the DS's two screens for almost everything, whether it be battling as two characters at the same time or seeing two different perspectives in a cutscene, it's a very unique experience that you won't find on any of the watered down ports or middling sequel.
The personality of the game is also unmatched by any other I've played. TWEWY fully embraces the era it was released in, from how the characters talk, the at the time current trends, the art style, and even the overall soundtrack. It feels like a time capsule for the mid-late 2000s, and for me it creates a feeling of nostalgia.
The story is pretty good, but I didn't find it to be anything special. The biggest strength of the writing is how the characters are written. The main characters themselves feel very real, they aren't written with any specific tropes in mind, instead the game focuses on making sure that these characters feel like they've lived full lives before the game even started. Their history, their struggles, how they talk, the actions they choose, it all feels like something real people would do. This game doesn't rely on generic character tropes like newer characters from the remakes and sequel do.
Overall, TWEWY is a very unique product that I recommend everyone check out, and please play the original DS version if possible. It offers a unique experience in gameplay, aesthetic, and writing that I've never seen any other game offer.
