Short and simple and was a nice demo for what the steam deck can do control-wise. Nothing much else about it as it's very short.
As someone who was mixed on Remake I was curious how this would fair. My favorite thing about Rebirth was revisiting locations I remember from the OG but in a more realistic size. The story as a whole is still great and the additions definitely add to the background and help make more sense of why they are happening. I genuinely loved the combat and felt like it was improved nicely since Remake.
For something’s I didn’t like I felt like there were times in the story that there was a tone shift from the original. While not ruining the story at all it definitely made some side stuff seem less impactful for me compared to before. The open world stuff was fine until I hit the third area and I just started focusing on the story instead. If an intel spot was on the way I’d do it but I got burnt out pretty fast.
For the money’s worth you’ll for sure get it as I dropped about close to 80 hours into it and that’s without doing all the side stuff. It’s a fun and beautiful game but didn’t blow me away like I was hoping it would.

Surprisingly a decent game with fun combat and decent environments. Like others have said it does feel like BotW but at least this feels good compared to other clones. The humor was kinda mid and towards the end I lost interest but it's not a bad game if you get it cheap and nothing else to play.

The driving was my favorite thing about this game, something about how the bike felt just felt awesome and weighty. The story is kinda mid but the action is fun and hordes are pretty cool. Not a bad game at all just kind of mediocre for the most part.
2018
Cute and simple, a nice little experience that is over pretty quickly. The OST is nice and the gameplay is enjoyable.
If this game cut off a good 30 hours I think it would've been better. I really liked how beautiful the map was and the raids were a lot of fun. Certain story bits were great as well but man did it drag on for hours. There was a lot of fluff but felt more meaningless than in Odyssey. I liked what I played but I definitely got burnt out many times before finishing it.

A somewhat short two player experience that is well done. Not much padding and gets straight into the action which is nice. The story was okay but a lot of fun with a friend.
2016
Minimal, simple yet difficult to master, and badass. A FPS puzzler that does it so well it’s crazy. Some of them are a little tricky but nothing a few extra seconds to think doesn’t fix. There’s nothing else like this game.
A great story with an amazing setting and a fun cast of characters. The pacing is pretty bad and some parts drag onnnnnn but overall I really liked this game a lot. Just don’t feel like you need to do all the side quests.
2019
An absolutely gorgeous game with some of the best brutalist design I’ve seen in a game. The story is…..interesting and after playing Alan Wake 2 it makes a lot more sense. The powers are cool and if you want a crazy super hero moment just turn on all the accessibility options and you will feel like Superman just flying around. The dlc was pretty cool too
2019
While I had fun with this game I enjoyed some of the older titles more. The different weapons and fight styles were really unique but something just felt off by a lot of it. I thought the story was fun and I liked the new characters. It’s a fun entry but it didn’t hit that same spot for me some of the other titles did.
2020
Not as terrible as I thought but still not a great game. The skills were cool and I feel like it had good bones but got ruined by many other added systems. If the amount of care went into this that Guardians of the Galaxy got it would’ve been a lot better.
Not my favorite YS but not a bad game at all. Not the best version of YS IV either but it works well for what it is. The combat is about the same as you’d expect from modern YS titles so it’s a safe place to start if you’re new to the series. The humor was pretty good in this one though.
A beautiful story with okay combat. When I was playing it I thought that it felt like it was dragging but instead it was so melancholic that it made it hard to play. The characters are truly special and learning more about them made them feel memorable. The replaying of the game was a bit tougher to do compared to Nier Automata but the end was kinda worth it.
2021
Got this game for the mii maker and stayed for the funny story. This made me really hope for a Tomodachi Life sequel though as the humor was something I missed. The Mii Maker in it is amazing and it’s sad that the switch doesn’t just include Miis like they used to. The game is VERY EASY but if you want a party of Obama, Goku, Hank Hill, and Squidward taking on evil then you have your game.
