It’s Monster Hunter ¯\(ツ)/¯ if you like Monster Hunter, you’ll like this. I will say that the dialogue in this one is way funnier than in Rise or World. The writers really popped off on 4U

Most people don’t like how the camera works with one analog stick, but I use the New 3DS’ C-Stick so I didn’t have that issue.

Obligatory “I hate Louie”

Pikmin 3 is gorgeous. It’s a shame that it’s so short - it feels like I barely got any time to use the two new Pikmin types.

Good mindless fun. Get this game dirt cheap since it’s super repetetive, although most of the characters play differently enough to break up the monotony.

I love how Silkbinds improved a lot of weapons and the overall movement in the game. Just wished we got more monsters.

Not sure if it's nostalgia, but I think Maplestory still holds up as a solid MMO. Although it appears to have lost its social aspect that it used to have, Maplestory has charming and timeless art style and sound design.

I think this is peak Yakuza. Each character’s story was short but managed to still be entertaining, and they all have very different fighting styles, which was fun to play. The way their stories intertwined throughout the game, especially at the finale, was a tremendously satisfying payoff.

You still have your typical Yakuza BS(incredibly convenient “I knew the whole time/I betrayed you and you had no clue” story, cheap boss fights), and I feel that the substories were lacking, but if you know what to expect from a Yakuza game you’ll love this.

Great story, mediocre unoriginal gameplay; par the course for most modern Sony exclusives. I saw a lot of similarities between this game and Ghost of Tsushima. I’m sure I’ll come back to it eventually, but for the time being I’m just not that into it.

Giving it the half star for having such an awesome final level and solid soundtrack throughout the entire game. Besides that, Beautiful Katamari is incredibly short and frustrating.

Almost all the beginning levels are annoying themes(collect “x” type of object) and the time limits are very short. Compared to the first Katamari you really have to “try” a lot more as opposed to simply enjoy the experience. I play Katamari to relax and have mindless fun. On the other hand, if you feel that Katamari is too easy, this may be worth a try.

I wish I played this game in its heyday so I could experience the online multiplayer, it seems like a fun concept.

I didnt get far in but it seems like a well-done remake. The visuals are great, nice QoL changes to gameplay, but the soundtrack is lacking compared to the original.

Unfortunately I have some kind of anxiety with this game because of losing all your items when you die(which hasn’t changed from the original). It gets in the way of me enjoying the game, so I’ll probably put it down for a while.

Great kart game, arguably more fun than Mario Kart. The create-a-modes were a huge game changer. I wish this game wasn't left behind on the PS3/PSP.

The game has crazy difficulty spikes throughout each level, but the finale is total bullshit unless you use powerups, which you cannot use for certain achievements.

The ultimate Yakuza experience. Story is hard to follow at points but ALMOST each character has an amazing part. The fighting feels amazing, and the amount of content it has is unmatched; I beat the game in just under 42 hours and my completion rate wasn't even 16%.

It’s a great challenging co-op game, just wish it had more levels.

The whole time I was playing this I said that the level design was too ambitious for the controls. Great music and I love the colorful setting, but the controls suck and the levels suck more.

I cut it some slack because it was such an old game and the first on PS3, but it desperately needed a Kiwami.

The combat is a blockathon suckfest, but I really enjoyed the story and characters in this one. We got to see a more human side of Kiryu with the orphanage, so I'm a little more lenient with most of the first half being little orphan kid drama. I'm also a sucker for tropical settings and loved the time spent in Okinawa.
