The game made me feel like my eyeballs were going to burst out of my body at all times. Partially from it being hilarious, partially from confused and amazed at the same time, partially because I miraculously understood what was happening while also screaming internally "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING".

I want to write a book on how I feel about this game. For now, I'll say you NEED to play it. There is literally nothing like this game and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Actually the most underrated game of all time seriously for real.

I love this game. It's not going to change your life, but if you want to chill and play some comfy videogames, this should high up on your priority list.

Gurumin's got really colorful aesthetics, nice music, and decent gameplay.

I've played through it on the GOG version, but also played the PSP version on an emulator and both run excellently so you've got choices in experiencing this cool lil game.

I'm obsessed with this game. I think everyone should play this game. That's not a joke. I want everyone to fire up an ISO of this on Duckstation and play it with your favorite controller. After you're all good and comfortable, get ready for the fight of your fucking life.

You may think you know what bad controls are for a video game. You've played games with bad button layouts, awful button delay, wonky sensitivity. When your input commands are not reciprocated, it feels like a fundamental disagreement between you and the software. Blasto takes this sentiment of disagreement and turns it into all out war.

The controls of this game are so bad, the levels are designed with it in mind. There's hardly any closed spaces in this game. Paths are wide as so to allow you to guide the vessel of sins, Blasto (R.I.P the goat Phil Hartman) across this virtual plane. I'm not going to even talk about platforming. All I can say is when you successfully grab onto a ledge, Blasto himself remarks it as an incredible achievement.

It is actually easier to kill somebody in real life and deal with the psychological ramifications of such than it is to land a shot on an enemy in this game. Most times, you have to stop moving, press L1 to aim and hope that your shots land (because sometimes they just don't) while tanking damage the entire time.

Beat two levels with this game. Just two. Then go back to your normal life and play your games with a renewed sense of appreciation for what is really good or bad controls -- akin to having a near-death experience and savoring every moment of life thereafter.

Remember, if you think you know bad controls, Blasto is coming for that ass bro.

As a lifelong Animal Crossing fan, I have to say this is the most boring game I have ever played. It's not like an infuriating boring to me, it's more like staring at the screen long enough will send me into a trance where I will do anything to not think about or interact with the game. It should be classified as torture.

The mini games in New Leaf were more fully fleshed out and had better utilization of the Amiibos than this whole game designed around buying and using them.

This is a cute scam and a waste of everyone's time.

The Korg games on Nintendo systems are like the best kept secrets. There's at least one on every Nintendo handheld since the DS (including the Switch) that really give you a suite of features to play with. The Korg DS-10 is the simplest of these releases, but do not discount it because this is a full fledged synthesizer.

This one is my favorite DS experiences due to it's simplicity, yet complex it's enough to create cool patterns that you can plug into a DAW or what have you via AUX cable and do with it as you please. Extremely fucking cool.

I have a physical copy of this for fun, but I encourage anyone who can emulate DS games on a touch pad of some kind to check this out. It's novelty only in the screen size of the systems you work with.

Despite me being a certified freak who enjoyed the old visuals more, I'm happy the new visuals have opened up interest to one of the most rich gaming experiences created by a human being.

If I had to play one game for the rest of my life, it might be Dwarf Fortress due to it being dizzying in it's mechanical richness. Every run will be so wildly different from one another due it's randomly generated values that you might feel as though you are playing a different game. One run you might be waging war with the goblins and mining resources and going through the motions. Another you and the goblins have formed a treaty and are now punching birds together and taking the dead birds to a wizard who will turn it undead and then you use said undead birds to go fuck with the elves because fuck the elves.

I can see myself playing Dwarf Fortress on-and-off for the rest of my life. That's the highest praise I could possibly give a game.

This game has good Gen 1 Pokemon vibes. Vibrant colors, a sweet 90's slice-of-life anime soundtrack, and an adorable chubby Pikachu that will ignore the FUCK out of you.

Back in the day, this game was a big deal not just because of Pokemon's explosion as a pop cultural icon, but because this game had a microphone you TALK to goddamn PIKACHU with. Most kids didn't give a shit Pikachu wouldn't listen to them. It was awesome that Pikachu would do Thunder after you asked him for the 17th time. It was the closest thing to interacting with a Pokemon in real life you could get.

Each day you explore a handful of different areas with Pikachu doing small variations of various tasks. Filling out your Pokedex by having Pikachu interact with Pokemon out in the wild, collecting items to put in your room for Pikachu to throw when he's pissed, and generally hanging out with Pikachu like he's your best friend.

Seeing that small, deaf motherfucker do cute shit still kind of hits. Just when you think you're ready to commit die asking him repeatedly to pick up a leek in the forest so we can make soup. He will eventually do it and make Squirtle happy and then he'll turn to you, close his eyes, tilt his head to the side and smile that billion dollar smile. It almost makes it worth the burst blood vessels from screaming in frustrated agony.

I do think this idea has legs if Nintendo ever wanted to try this again as like a phone app or something. I'd also be curious if this game emulates well with a USB microphone. If you know anything about that hit me up in the comments.

Completely blown away by how solid of a game this is.

From it's reveal trailer, Evil West wore it's heart on it's sleeve as a straight up third person shooter taking inspiration from seventh-gen console titles like Gears of War where you play as a cowboy beating the shit out of evil creatures. It is as simple as that. It does what it sets out to do very well.

That said, I totally get why people say this is a shallow experience. It looks and feels like a 4K rerelease of an Xbox 360 game that never existed until now. Evil West is just a game where if you look at the trailer and if you feel nothing for it at all, there will be nothing for you if you play it.

I would hope whether or not this is your jam that there's an appreciation for it's up-front honesty. Especially because this is one the best optimized games to come out on PC this year and isn't overly long. It's here for a good time, not a long one.

I am chomping a the bit for more from this developer because they seem to have a grasp on making shit that looks cool, runs immaculately, and isn't demanding too much of the player other than to enjoy this videogame ass videogame.

Upon release, people lamented that the N64 multiplayer modes were better than this version. They were right, but this game's multiplayer was really good too. I can't wait for Insignia to revive the multiplayer of this game. It deserves to be played.

Apparently, you can play this on Xbox Series consoles. It's worth the $10 bucks to experience a good port of a great game.

Or pirate it. I don't give a fuck.
