This game is super charming and oozes personality. The level design and platforming feel like they take a backseat to the rest of the game at times, which can make for a few monotonous sections that leave you wishing you could just skip to the next story beat. The lack of much enemy variety doesn't help with this. But that being said, the rest of the game has so much to offer that it's worth looking past those few rough edges.

The story is very straightforward, but incredibly effective. They take such a simple premise and go absolutely crazy with it, with an incredibly creative and fun final act leaving the game on a high note. I'm really surprised I hadn't heard anything about this before playing, my only impression being the character designs that made me want to check it out when I got it in a Humble Choice. The longer I played it, the more confused I was that I hadn't heard about this game sooner.

The game draws many obvious similarities to the likes of Undertale and the Paper Mario series, but I think it stands very well on its own. If you're a fan of either of those, you should absolutely give Underhero a try. It's very close to being something really special.

Never played this as a kid, but if I did I think I would've been obsessed with it. With no nostalgia or attachment to the original before playing, I still loved it enough to 100% it and try to perfect all of the mechanics.

The mediocre PC port aside (with a neutered soundtrack no less, don't forget to mod that shit back in immediately for the full experience), I still think Crazy Taxi is something everyone should try if they're given the chance. The controls feel very awkward at first and take some getting used to, but once you learn the timing of everything it really starts to click.

I'll definitely have to track down an arcade version to try at some point. I have a feeling that'll be the definitive way to play.

Absolutely terrific. Despite writing this years after finishing it, every aspect of Myst remains stuck in my head. The atmosphere, the puzzles and their respective solutions, the corny live-action FMVs, the stories in each of the journals, everything about it.

Myst is such a wonderful and unique game that it's no wonder it's stood the test of time. The only reason I can't give this version a 10/10 is that the realMyst remake, despite its many improvements, has some annoying rough edges to it.

That being said, if you can look past a little bit of jank and don't have the patience for the imperfections of the original, realMyst is a very accessible way to experience Myst for the first time without sacrificing the vibes that make it so lovable like the 2020 remake.
