Initially I was hesitant about another Kiryu game, but I reserved my judgments since they said this game would serve as a bridge between Yakuza 6, Yakuza Like a Dragon, and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth... And it's exactly what they said it would be. It's wonderful. It's impressive how they've managed to make such an impactful small entry to the series to clear up any confusion regarding Kiryu's involvement in Ichiban's story, and it's an ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL showcase of everything I've come to love and cherish about Kiryu himself. The ending was wonderful and left me full of love for the Dragon of Dojima and very curious and excited for seeing his future adventure with Ichiban in the next title. Gosh I love Kiryu. I love him so much. I just want him to be happy like he deserves after a life of so much pain. ;w;

Playing this game some 20 years after I traumatized myself with the original as a child is honestly makes this game very special to me. I'm normally not very good at any kind of 3D platforming and most first-person shooters give me motion sickness, but there's something about Metroid Prime that makes it different. I don't know what it is, but I had a lot of fun playing it. I bought it on impulse and I'm VERY happy I made that impulse purchase. The backtracking did get kinda old towards the end of the game, but I still really loved it. My favorite part though was reading all of the Space Pirate logs about Samus though.

3 games into this franchise and I think it's safe to say I'm a fan now. Samus has grown on me a lot. I didn't get to 100% this game, since I missed something in the log book you can only get at a specific point, but I'll absolutely come back to this game to 100% at a later date.

I don't have a ton to say on this game other than I enjoyed it. Do I enjoy it more than any of the other games in the series? Unsure. But I am definitely happy to finally get to play a game in the series that many of my friends have praised highly. My understanding of Japanese is still limited, and I didn't have the patience to google translate all of the dialogue to play the original ps4 version like my friends did, so I had hoped we would one day get a remaster and lo and behold we did! It didn't grab me as much as previous games in the series, but again, I still had fun and a good time.

Also this game gave me the most gorgeous and beautiful new models of Kashiwagi and Nishiki (Inoue and Izo) and I'm fed so well. They look gorgeous. I love this series.

Jumping into this fresh out of Super Metroid, there's a noticeable change in vibes that took a bit of getting use to, but once I fell into the groove with it I was having a quite a lot of fun. The controls are RIDICULOUSLY SMOOTH and are so nice and it just feels good to play (even if I'm not the most skilled at it). Even with some of the pretty big screw ups I made in my playthrough, I wasn't too upset because I had fun. I still don't know how I only got 98% item completion when I was using an interactive map at the end to get all of the items though...

I got this game at the recommendation of a mutual on Twitter and oh boy am I so glad I did. Even if I didn't buy it on sale and bought it at normal price it's well worth the price. It's a delightful point and click mystery game and the mystery is VERY deep and complex. As someone who grew up on the HER Interactive Nancy Drew games it PERFECTLY satisfies the itch to play a good point and click mystery where I can be as nosy as can be to solve a murder.

The cast of characters all have their own unique charm that you get to see more and more of as you unravel the mystery of Tangle Tower and the 3 families that reside there. Each character has such a charming design and the animation for the character sprites is probably my favorite I've seen in just about any point and click style game. Also the voice acting is SO GOOD. It was the main thing that drew me in and had me curious about the game, hearing clips of character dialogue in the game trailer my twitter mutual had shown me.

Anyways. It's good. Really good. It's on sale pretty often (it's on sale for 75% off as I'm typing this review) and I definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of a good meaty mystery in point and click games. And those who just love fun character designs and voice acting.

Every so often I remember that I played this game. It was alright. I don't really remember much about it other than the characters were likeable and the character art was super pretty.

Localization is absolutely awful. There's plenty of typos and mistranslations and I remember one scene in the beginning that's fully voice acted the the voice acting doesn't even match up with the text on screen. It's a mess.

Controls are rather clunky too, I swear I nearly destroyed my wrist attempting some of the boss fights.

Fwiw though, I don't remember having a bad time playing it, despite it's flaws.

Also, I actually remember going to a convention once and coming across a person who cosplayed the main character and we both went nuts because "omg somebody else that actually knows this game exists".
