I'm just gonna say... Sabato Nabe is the best singular fandisk ever released

nice assets and general art direction, terrible level design. who the hell though that open areas with no cover is a good idea for an HL mod?

It's the first Berserk game to be released, and honestly, despite being the only one to have an original story, it's bad.
The gameplay consists of "run to the end of the hallway, see if the door lets you finish the level. if you end up running into an open door with nothing happening, slaughter everything alive, then proceed again. fight a boss maybe. repeat until end credits". That is also paired with the combat where your huge sword hits every wall (which while is pretty obvious to why doesn't nake it a good design choice) until you fill your DT and it doesn't. The items also never felt like being of any use, you will only be healing yourself with elf powder to tank more hits, the rest were pretty much pointless.
The story itself felt like it's just one exposition dump paired with the devs going "oh, remember this thing from the manga? we have it here!". Because of this it never truly offers anything new and unique to the world, the whole conflict and themes are essentially Lost Children arc, minus the bug loli. Zodd appears out of nowhere just to remind everyone that he exists and to have one fight without bringing anything of value to the narrative, the behelit is pulled out of the ass at the last moment just to have yet another underwhelming boss fight. And the cover art girl is here to do nothing and gasp at the ongoing events.
The only good thing here is the soundtrack, and the fact that thanks to the fan retranslation I didn't need to sit through the horrible English dub.

The best thing about this game is that Battle Royale mod exists because of it

AMAZING chases, meh the rest of the game

I was very surprised by the amount of times the n-word was said in this game's unedited soundtrack when I looked up the uncensored version

NFS Underground is a blueprint for it's sequel and the single most important game in the series, which set the direction the series would mostly be going in for the next 20 years.
However, on it's own this game is broken, repetitive slog, which forces the player through repeating tracks over and over again while also having the opponents cheat their way to victory no matter what difficulty you pick. Each of the player's wins feels like luck since most of the time the reason why it happened is because the rubberbanding AI wasn't as broken as it usually is, the game's hyper realistic collision physics haven't flipped his car over on a straight road for no reason, or the traffic car hasn't spawned right behind a blind turn, sending the player's riced Honda Civic spinning 360 degrees and flying 3 meters into the air.
Do I recommend playing this game? Eh, purely for historic value. It looks really good for the time, the car selection is overall solid, and the modding options can look cool.
The music also has a silly childish charm to it, looking at it in the retrospect. Since it usually forces itself to be cool so hard that it turnes to being cringey, which in itself provides unintentional comedic value, making it great, albeit again not in a way it was originally intended.

Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi is the most epic dude ever it was worth playing for him alone
Other than that the game has big balancing issues, the orb system is annyoing and in the classic Rance fashion the game's story sets up future events more than it actually has stuff happen. But it was still fun, I love the postgame and the fact that it brought much needed story closure. After Stories is also a nice addition, please look it up online

this is the game people bought overpriced consoles for back in the day, guys. just let this thought enter your brain

how exactly has humanity failed as a species to allow this to happen is the topic you should try to figure out by yourself

I forgot that I even finished this, but this is probably the first piece of fiction I've ever seen that deals with the topic of androids that badly. Even a cringy anime shows do this more maturely than this "Bro what if toasters suddenly became self aware for no reason and started asking for rights?": The Movie Game.
Just play The Talos Principle instead

2010

limbo more like bimbo it was boring as shit and puzzles sucked

I'm done with it. The last chapter of the first game repeating the same formula for yet another time and being as boring to read as possible, I'm scared to imagine that I'd be forced through playing at least 5 more games exactly like it if I continue with the series. Try to prove to me that the games do get better and less predicatable than this, but after first exposure being less engaging than the worst dating sim I've played it's probably gonna be hard.

I softlocked my fucking playthrough because the spy bitch poisoned my food will replay it later

Purely random, but the fact how abusable it is makes up for it, making the gameplay loop engaging in it's own strange way. It's a dumb game, but it's also a fun dumb game.
Also, you get to cuck Bird again, so what's not to love about it?

Alicesoft finally learned how to draw. This one sets up the Magic Sect with some important lore, you also get to have unconscientious sex with a lot of girls again. It's fun, play it
