This game is a broken piece of shit. It's a masterpiece. The final iteration of Street Fighter 2 is truly a joy to play. There is a reason why it is still played competitively today. The music is iconic, the sound effects and animations are charming and stand out. The game was a blast back in the day and in the modern Fightcade era it is also a doozy. Simply amazing. The Jimi Hendrix of fighting games.

WoW Classic consumed most of my life during the pandemic. The game is charming but most of the people that play it at a high level are cunts, to be frank. "If you don't have a bloodrage cancel macro at this stage of the game you should be embarassed" uttered the skillful, 12345 pressing raid leader. It's a circlejerk but the world itself is incredibly charming. It's tough for me to appreciate this game for what it is because the people I surrounded myself with were genuinely mean spirited fucks in order to be "competitive". I regret not being a part of a more casual circle of players but even when I attempted that during the burning crusade I had a bad time. I just don't like the gameplay loop at endgame but leveling is fun. I leveled four characters to maximum level with no boosting bullshit.
I made good friends too though. And those friends really accompanied me through lonely times. I think on that basis alone there is a lot to salvage with my WoW experience but the negative certainly opaqued the positive.
I love this game but I also think it's hot trash. I can't really recommend it even though I enjoyed it.

This is actually fun and aged reasonably. It's a clear prequel to Starcraft. Ordering units around is clunky but it has its chsrm just like Brood War. I appreciated it lots. This was certainly a step in the right direction coming from Orcs and humans. The oil resource and boat units weren't that fun to play with however.
1993
I appreciate the concept and perhaps it would've been a lot of fun to play back when it was released but having to reset the level every time one of your vikings dies is such a clunky mechanic. They could have made checkpoints of sorts. I get that the pacing is supposed to be slow but I just think it plays far worse than a regular platformer.

It's a fun videogame. I dislike how much they simplified the systems. Accent core and Xrd are far more fulfilling to play for a guy like me. The lack of air teching, thw juggle system, the new version of burst and YRC are all good reasons to dislike it. Then again, it's a fighting game and its depth is endless so long as there are two people playing it. Fun but not for me! It will remain as a fun game to me but it won't be in the Mt. Rushmore of fighting games.

This game was incredible as a kid and a treat as a teenager. I have probably put the most hours into this game and WoW. All the advanced techniques are incredibly fun to learn and apply in matches. There is a reason why people have been grinding it for so long, just like Super Turbo. It's not for everyone but there's the new smash games for people that don't want to put in the time to grind a fighting game. Every aspect of this game is incredible to me.
