Minami Lane
I had a lot of fun with this one, but I wish there was more to it. It only took about two hours to complete, and the mechanics were overstaying their welcome in their simplicity. I'd really like to see this concept fully-fleshed out to be more complex and in a larger game. It was still a good time waster that I am glad I played, though.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
I started off loving this one, but there were a few major issues that impacted my playthrough:
1) The roguelike elements lacked enough depth to sustain the game through the last 25% or so.
2) I ran into a bug that prevented the completion of the game for me for several months until a patch came through
3) The ending sequence really felt like the devs ran out of ideas but wanted to make the game artificially longer. Plus, in the original design, there were no checkpoints for the whole end segment (I've heard this was patched later), leading to unnecessary tedium.
Overall, It's cute and I think now that it's patched up it may be worth playing, but my experience was negatively impacted by the bugs and poor gameplay choices and can't personally recommend it.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink
The combat is an absolute 10/10. This is exactly the kind of action combat experience I love in a video game.
It's also absolutely gorgeous to look at and there's a decent amount of variety in the level design to make each chapter interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, I thought the story was pretty lazy and uninteresting, filled with anime cliches and it did feel like one big advertisement for the main Granblue game.
Still, I enjoyed the actual combat enough that I will likely go back to do some postgame content in the future and keep an eye out for any updates with new characters or gameplay mechanics.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode Intermission
Yuffie is one of my favorite characters in Final Fantasy VII, so it was great to see her get her own mini-story. I'm really glad I played it before starting rebirth so I could learn more about her characterization before meeting her in the main series. She's also a ton of fun to play as, with a really fast combat style. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that this was a tiny DLC and not a larger experience in itself.

I am so genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Normally, roguelikes aren't my thing without a decent amount of between-run progression, but I found the wide variety of upgrades made every run so unique that I was having a blast unlocking different characters.
