Deltarune is absolutely shaping up to fix the already quite minor problems I had with Undertale. I have a feeling I'm going to have a new favorite game by the time this is out.
I can tell this is absolutely a high quality game, but I am definitely not smart enough to figure it out. I still recommend it but I didn't personally enjoy it much.
I give up on this shit ass game, you want me to find 50 different kinds of pokemon to go to the gym, well I grind for literal hours and find NOTHING I haven't caught already, bad game
Still very early on in development but GOD this is already super good. Still needs a few tweaks to the gameplay for the final game and a lot more customization, but for this being a quick demo it's already fantastic. Very excited for the final game.
Absolutely fantastic. Improves on all the faults of the original DDLC in a perfect way. Leaves the game itself alone but adds plenty of bonus content, so much reason to come back and not only replay DDLC, but also numerous times.

I firmly hold the belief that if they were given about 6 more months to work on this game, it would have been a really phenomenal experience. It's an extremely fun premise for a game and they executed it pretty damn well. The controls for the most part are good but can be buggy occasionally, along with the rest of the game. It's riddled with bugs and it runs very poorly most of the time. But I gotta say aside from that, there's very little they would have to do to make this game any better.

Hop on Left 4 Dead
As different as this game is from DDLC, I can absolutely say it had nearly the same impact on me as that game did. It's a short little visual novel, but my favorite VNs are always the ones that just could not have been told in the format of a book. It's rare to find, but this one fits that perfectly.
A fantastic side-story on Persona 4, it went way more in-depth than I ever expected. Written just as well as the original game. That said, the gameplay is definitely lacking. With the only gameplay being the dancing games, they should have gone a lot further than they did. As someone into rhythm games, there's a lot of basic features that should be here that simply aren't. That said, it still works perfectly, is fun, and the story is super engaging, so it's forgivable. All the characters, costumes, accessories, this game definitely has enough content to keep me coming back long after I've beaten it.
2008
While it doesn't have the most polished gameplay, it's definitely the most fun and chaotic Mario Kart gameplay you can get. The charm in this game along with the pure chaos the unbalanced gameplay brings just makes this such a fun time.
2011
Although there's not really much reason to play this game anymore, I'd say it's the first game where they truly got the Mario Kart gameplay formula down for good. Mario Kart Wii was incredible, but this just feels so perfect to play that it even outclasses the feeling of it. However, I feel like it misses that charm that Mario Kart Wii had. The game felt like it had so much personality, whereas this game just feels kinda... empty. Soulless. It feels unfinished. Thankfully we got Mario Kart 8, which is essentially an improvement of this game in every way. So while there really isn't any reason to play it, it did well in setting up the gameplay for 8 to be perfect.
2013
Such fond memories with this thing. Still holding out on a Switch version.
Very short but nice visual novel for Touhou fans, it has some genuinely good advice and some clearly researched information.
2011
Playing old RPG Maker games continues to blow me away, I loved this game. It had more gameplay than I had expected beforehand which was a nice surprise, and the story and music worked so beautifully together.
2012
Definitely an experience. It plays really weirdly, as I somehow beat the entire game and I STILL don't understand how to play, but it's definitely a worthwhile experience. It does an incredible job of immersing the player through the environment and the music. I'm sure there's a really good story in here but I'm too dumb to understand it. When this game is at it's best, though, is when someone else is online and the game pairs you up with them. It's the same game as if you're playing alone, but just having someone with you there and using the very limited ways of communication just makes the game a really fun experience.
