I must admit I played it on and off throughout the month and that was from me becoming very busy with certain matters. But at the moment this week turned somewhat free so as a result, I gave a go to finally beat Knuckles Chaotix and I sure did.

Despite my inital impressions being very mixed due to a boy yelling and quoting in my ear consistently as I tried to atleast give the game a shot, playing it on my own, I discovered not only an underrated gem, but a wickedly fun as hell game.

I don't care what people say as the mechanic where you and your partner are banding together is just mad fun. Especially once you master the mechanic so you can fling yourself mid air very far up to get further in the level. As this is a very vertical based game rather than the traditional horizontal levels of previous Sonic games. And as a Spin-Off, it lives up to the concept. All the players are just so fun. Hell Espio's ingame sprite looks even adorable in this game compared to his later redesign that makes him look like a Dorito lol, which yeah the cast is just all good and play good. Do recommend playing as Mighty instead of as a partner.

More I'd praise is definitely the way it handles certain things. In previous games if you fucked up getting the emerald you were fucked, compared to here where you tend to get shots as the Special Stages get progressively harder. And the rings serve an actual purpose as the counter. So your motivated to get lots of rings for a good reason. It can be forgiving in that regard.

Oh and of course, the presentation and music are all utterly phenomenal. I listen to the OST quite a bit, the stages, the respective visuals are just a delight.

Despite the game having a number of warts (not very focused on a story, after you get all the chaos rings not much necessarily happens til you beat all the levels, and whatever) I love all of it regardless. The gameplay just makes up for it all. It's just too damn fun to sling and fling around the place. When you get the hang of it, it's fun time.

(Would like to give a big thank you to @IronLuis for making this review possible. He let me borrow his Xbone just to play the game)

I can't with this shitty game anymore I'm done.

Panzer Dragoon is a series that had intrigued me and finally checking it out, I loved all of it.

Despite Mini, a game that was not only barely functional but also a game in between two fantastic games, the series, and overall Trilogy really, were all incredible and reasonably difficult. Deserving its status as the incredible landmark on the Sega Saturn. I had known the series did get another shot on Xbox but finally playing the games made me more intrigued regarding the entry that is Orta.

As a follow up to Saga I knew it couldn't top it, and all I had thought and expected was for it to just be a good game. A great game. The worthy continuation it dares to be to a very fulfilling trilogy that ended on a fair note.

It ended up being an arse to finally play the game however. Right after beating Saga, I checked it out off Xemu which didn't play the cutscenes. Then I ordered a og Xbox copy for 45 buckos then after some convincing got @IronLuis to let me borrow his Xbone just to play this game. And ALSO finally got the official rechargeable batteries for mine and his Xbox controller.

And so after all this work and effort, I finally played it.. and was remarkably disappointed. For starters I will still ponder why was the lock on nerfed so badly??? Saga introduced other forms for your Dragon but in this game you have to be switching all the fucking time if you wanna be doing any damage or any health resourcing when none of that bullshit was in the previous games. Playing it the old way, your damage just tickles them at most.

The game also has the most bullshittingly difficult difficulty to a point it made me genuinely mad in literal years. it's buttfuckingly unfair. Zwei is a game where it became harder by the paths you decided to choose. In Orta it's just fucking difficult because it said so, fuck you, you dare have fun? kiss that ass goodbye. BE SURE TO GET A NICE WHOPPING OF TWO BOSSES IN A FUCKING ROW!!!!!

I thought maybe I was delusional, I thought maybe I was wrong after simply beating Easy, but I ended up being right. I gave Normal another go and just could not. It's so fucking bullshit.. And not even fucking worth it. As all you need to know about the story is that it is LITERAL BULLSHIT!!! I don't like Mobo and his stupid fucking posse. Every time I see these imbeciles talk I miss the humanity of Paet, Gash, and Azel. They spoke with character. Growth. Personality. I miss it so much.. It was all in Saga. All dissipated in Orta.

Orta in general for me is a literal disappointment. I wasn't expecting or hyping up that it'd be the best of the series. Literally the minimum for me was just it simply be a fun time. A great time. A journey in a unique world.

But instead I get a game that can't fucking make up its mind on if it desires to be ambitious like Saga or have the simple storytelling of Zwei and the first one. It doesn't help either when you look into it even the Developers themselves feel mixed on if they should've even made a 4th one after Saga.

Which anymore is that I recognize the Pandora's Box which in fact is why my rating isn't any lower even if to be completely honest, I think alot of it is buttfucking padding. ESPECIALLY WHEN SOME OF THAT INFORMATION COULDVE BEEN TOLD WITHIN THE GAME.

What's that? You want to be told the story's details in the STORY!?? NAHHHHH!!!! GO READ ABOUT IT JERKWAD!!! STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!!

my entire family was obsessed with this game when it came out
