At this point I'm in the rabbit hole of fire emblem and this game got my curiosity because it's considered the darkest in the series and I wanted to know why. The gameplay is different from the rest of the series with every character having their own inventory and money which at list can get convoluted. If you want to give items to other characters there's also arenas which do not kill off the unit if they lose which makes it a good option to level up. There's also fixable weapons as you can have Sigurd run the sliver sword for the rest of the game without worrying about it being gone forever. The marriage system ends up being a predecessor to the support system which ends up having some nice dialogue around the mid point of the game. The game has the largest maps in the series as there is only 11 maps (prologue and 10 chapters). The story is probably my favorite of the series due to having great characters and due to it having one of the biggest twists i seen in an rpg. The protagonist is great both gameplay and character wise with his interactions with the various characters in the game. I'm really hoping this game gets a remake for it to fix its quirks

After a long break from the series since binding blade being extremely difficult for me, blazing blade was a much better introduction to the series as it teaches you the various mechanics well through "Lyn mode" where you start off the story with one of the main lords of the series. The levels in this game are more fun to go through as they are less brutal than the ones in binding blade. It was introduced in binding blade, but I really did supports starting off with this game and it really gives more depth to the 3 lords and characters with the only downside being that a character can only A rank with one character so you will end up not seeing most of the supports. I thought the story is great and especially if you completed a certain support it would blend in well with the storyline.

EXTRATERRITORIAL RIGHTS!!!! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

an improvement on the already great combat of spiderman 1 as the new venom power being replaced by the finisher being used with combos made it a more satisfying gameplay loop and was able to make it feel like something new instead of it being a copy of the first game. presentation of the game with the soundtrack made it feel better than spiderman in some aspects. as for the story itself, i think it was weaker than the first game as it could be because the game was much shorter than the first game. Still had a great time with the game

A game from my childhood I remember i really liked and decided to play to see how it held up but this time i decided to play the ps1 version instead of the n64 like i did to see if there was anything different to this version in which ps1 has an fmv intro, one extra song in the ost and the ps1 has more tracks compared to the n64 version. The biggest downside to ps1 weirdly enough is that ps1 has worse graphics in exchange for more content. The controls feel stiff as turning can be hard in some tracks can feel tight but it can get used to doing so. The collision is scuffed because if you get stuck and crash doing a trick or colliding with another car and end up easily at last place. the actual content for the game is very little as it is top heavy with 1 of the 3 cups of the game is 6 tracks for one which is 80 percent of the tracks of the game i would have liked them to be more spread out because it made the game go a lot faster making the last 2 cups feel extremely short including the exclusive tracks from ps1 not even being available as some kind of extra cup. Overall looking it at a different perspective I think this game was very fun to play through despite all its quirks as you can have a fun time with this game.

Considered one of the hardest games in the series its easy to figure out why thats the case as theres various mechanics that will either screw you up or benefit from (so can your enemies) from heal miss to infinite status effects and range to no true 100% hits this game can be frustrating if you dont know what you are doing. This game felt designed in a way you had to have a manual or guide to go with it. Despite it all, if you plan ahead and know somewhat what you are doing it can be (mostly) fun to play through. As for the story, we get to see the POV of Leif as he takes back thracia and its gives a better perspective of how he feels and what he goes through during the events of ch 6-8 of Geneology before and after he meets seliph. although supports werent created at this time, the character conversations throughout the game are great and give more personality to the characters. i think overall it was a decent game to the series

This was my introduction to the series by accident due to me mixing up binding blade and blazing blade up and ended up playing one of the hardest fire emblem games in the series it doesn't help that the tutorial for this game is hidden in extras which would have been useful to know beforehand. Accuracy is fucked in this game as archers and fighters will practically not hit anything 90% of the time. The maps can be tough especially mid game and the game will punish you if you misplace a unit that's low health. Despite it all this being the introduction of the series for me I understood the appeal of the series and strategy RPGs in general because of this game. (Still fuck ch21 I still have PTSD of that chapter to this day). The story for the game is alright but probably has the hardest requirement to get the good true ending of the game as it requires you to beat all the gaiden levels. The game was overall fun to play through but was difficult as a beginner to the series

The first game i was left feeling extremely weird about because of how absolutely insane and absurd that ending was. I had left this game on the backlog for years due to knowing one of the biggest spoilers of the game. The executions are probably the most brutal of the series and leave you incredibly empty inside in classic Danganronpa fashion. My rating is mostly hurt by the ending leaving me an extremely sour taste of the series as a whole although i understand what was the message behind the ending. The actual cases and investigations were great and the new debate scrum was probably the best addition to the trials. Truly the game of all time

Basically just polishes up what blazing blade and binding blade did right and made it a more fun experience to go through. Great characters and great pixel art portraits. This game makes supports and being able to level up much better to handle as you can do skirmishes and the tower if you want to build up supports or levels. The support conversations just as great here as they were in blazing blade and even gives more lore to the story. The villain is probably the best of the gba games by far. This is the best gameplay wise out of the GBA fire emblem games
