Too derivative, even if it is the apex of this series

The production values is sadly not nearly as great as the rest of the package

This game really does not need QTEs

Not as sharp to play as the first game

Doesn't have nearly enough Beatles songs, and some of the songs that are here are baffling choices with that in mind

Just infested with hackers

The story is a bit over-the-top in a way that I'm not sure the developer's intended

weaker narrative than the first game

Part of the fun is how unbalanced this game is, but it does bring it down a little

No multiplayer is a joke

Like Mario Galaxy 2, it feels too much like its predecessor. This is especially bad for MW3 because it isn't as good as MW2

Multiplayer is less faithful than I would have hoped

Incomplete

The most boring cast in the mainline series

Just play MGS2 man

The humor isn't great

Doesn't control nearly as tightly as its predecessor, it's less arcadey

Some of the maps really do suck, although I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at how low of a proportion of levels this was given the size of the game. I'm really only talking about a couple here, that's impressive!

Certain little things could be more elegantly implemented too, I think the Add-on experience can get quite repetitive if you have a lot of them (I have 100+ already!)

Its difficulty curve is bizarre enough to sometimes turn this into a frustrating play

Typical Kojima misogyny is in here

Could have lasted longer and used more of Chapter 1

The ending of the final trial is a bit over-the-top

Case 4

The game feels compromised by it being split into two

The official localization of TGAA being much better than the then-well-received translation of The Great Ace Attorney makes me more critical over the translation effort of this game

It's easy to get lost in this game, and not in the good way

Probably ought to have had a content warning

This cast has nothing on Hotel Dusk's cast

It's hard to describe but there is something weirdly... aversive about this game. You see it with so many people who just can't finish this game, even though the design doesn't seem problematic. I do think the dungeons, though an improvement, aren't all that interesting. I do like Zelda 1 dungeons but not for the reason that I like dungeons in this or any other Zelda games

Maybe the least explorative Zelda game in the history of the series

This game should not be running any less than 60fps

It misunderstands what it is remaking

Song of Double Time should just be what the time is to begin with

The game already did so much in this department, but I think it would have been really nice to see more changes in the worlds between time, more reasons to go to certain places between time.

Zelda should have been more present in this. She also should have kept Tetra's skin color, come on Nintendo.

Uglier than the original game

Like nearly every Mario Kart game since 64, it is limited to the legacy of that game and doesn't have substantial campaign modes or anything like that. It feels behind.

the lame box art

Typical Kojima misogyny is in here

Same as in MGS2 HD

Typical Kojima misogyny is in here

Typical Kojima misogyny is in here

This box art

Vapid

Even more transparently vapid

Probably ought to have had a content warning

This world doesn't feel as alive as the world of Earthbound, even though the narrative and characters are great

I wish the game did more to combat the "I could fix her" or "She's LITERALLY ME" kind of stuff that surrounds this game. There is more there, but the game doesn't challenge those sillier perspectives

I wish the game made more clear the meaning of the routes, because there is a design meaning to them.

Amount of content isn't great

Strega isn't interesting

The story only really gets to someplace interesting at the beginning and at the third semester content. Could have been a better overall package

1-3 is boring

You can't have it both ways and be both a Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice game.

Godot is my least favorite prosecutor of this trilogy.

Justice for All is definitely the weak link

Not all the humor lands with me here, but most of it does

Not a fan necessarily of all the changes to movesets here

It really would have just been better if Sonic was the only playable character

Weak bosses

I don't care about Encore mode

Having bonus levels that you can only access by pressing the random button is insane

Launch Base Zone

A lot of what Sonic Triple Trouble did was a direct response and progression of Sonic Chaos, and that aspect of it I think isn't communicated the best in this remake

the medals

Limiting the game to only a couple of maps that you have no control of is terrible

Not sure why they reduced the game, especially s the gigaleak showed that they had high-quality versions of the voice clips anyway

I don't think I find Daru as funny as this game thinks he is

It goes to the extreme of Galaxy 2, focusing on game design so much that the presentation suffers

Digital controls

Voice acting

Too easy

Feels too much like DLC

For some reason I just haven't felt the urge to go back to this one in the way that I tend to

Not much single-player content

Making Smash slow was a big mistake

Adventure Mode is too samey on repeat playthroughs

Weak single-player content

Too easy

Could have better world-design

I honestly think this would have been better if it wasn't a video game

The way progression works in this game isn't really my jam
