Samurai Warriors 2
2006
My first entry in the series and in the musou genre. I like it , it was actually good. The five scenarios for each character and short duration keep a repetitive gameplay fresh to follow a very good story based on important period on the Japanese era (Sengoku Period). Each character plays differently from one another and the soundtrack is very good. The last entry before they go to a more fan-fiction approach.
Very very flawed. Combat just not tight enough, weak story, a LOT of glitches. Did not crash on me, but boy did I see a lot of t-posing.
Hi-Fi Rush
2023
Loved every second of Hi-Fi Rush. Super creative and charismatic. Will probably go down as one of my favorite games of 2023 and I desperately want a sequel for this game to happen one day. It's that good.
Metro 2033 Redux
2014
"You reap what you sow, Artyom. Force breeds force.”
A great tense experience with an anxiety inducing atmosphere to rival the likes of The Last of Us.
It starts a bit slow and at first the gameplay feels a bit janky, but it really does pick up the pace and become quite an addicting game. No matter how powerful you feel, Metro 2033 never fails to make you feel powerless regardless loss within its tunnels and desolate surfaces keeping you on edge every hour of the journey.
A simple and straight forward story but something that you want to see to the end in any case. A definite must recommend, especially for fans of The Last of Us series or post apocalyptic games in general.
I felt like The Last of Us was possibly inspired by the original release of the game given some of the similarities the two universes share and it’s honestly something I feel is a little overlooked. I don’t see many talk about this game as much as they should and I hope it garners the appreciation it deserves.

The most faithful Pokémon game. The original creators have stated that they believed Gen 2 to be closer to there true idea for what Pokémon should be, and before they even knew what the franchise would become the finale to their original idea.
And then they remade it.
With the great ds sprites of the era, the remakes to the second generation ended up looking great. In my opinion these sprites look the most faithful when compared to the art and anime. As well as giving great mechanics such as the automatic run feature, the gameboy sounds, and the best walking with Pokémon sprites the franchise has seen. The sound design is also beautifully crafted with tracks getting additions such as the piano entrance in National park.
This Pokémon game provides and unique experience with a more relaxed tone throughout the game. It feels like a nice walk through the environment and your own pace.
2 regions, an epic boss battle, and the battle frontier as post game many never get tired of this game. Other feature had been added to such as ways to get modern Pokémon as well as areas that had been expanded from the original game.
You won’t get a Pokémon game that feels more Pokémon then this game.
