The announcer in these games is legit one of my favorite characters of all time. If 1% of people working on games were as passionate as this voice actor we would be living in a gaming utopia right now. Every time he spoke it took ever fiber of my being to not lose control while dancing and fall to the ground in respect (laughter)

This just felt like a really drawn out version of the fox, chicken, and grain crossing the river puzzle with a somewhat psychedelic artstyle. The bug do be ballin' tho.

PRETEND THAT THIS REVIEW IS IN THAT ALL-CAPS COMIC BOOK FONT AND THERE YOU GO YOU'VE EXPERIENCED LIKE 2/3 OF THE GAME ALREADY.

Take the splatter mechanics of Splatoon and combine them with the goodest little boy and you have one of the most relaxing, charming, and hilarious times you'll ever get with a completely free game. This would be 10/10 I just want more. Purupurupurupurupuru pome. Played in Japanese.

RTX? More like FarTX because this freaking stinks.
Back in the 2000's there was a trend of making games dark and edgy. Give us all the bad boys... Give us all the darkness and black clothing and indulgently gory combat... Don't forget the nu metal! We revel in this stuff! Now for the crown jewel... add in extra misogy.... OH WAIT NO STOP STOP DON'T PUT THAT IN THERE!!!

First visual novel to convey not only the look of a terminally online person's room but also somehow the smell

The way these guys react to compliments as if you just offered them a million dollars speaks volumes about how toxic their relationship must be. Also I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the fact that Grace's torso is made of two stretched ovals.

Coming back to the original game of a now massive series is always an interesting experience. In OG Smash Bro's case its impressive to see how much HAL had already gotten right. Still incredibly fun to play in its own way.

What is originality? What do we want from video games? Are we playing games to re-experience the highlights of our childhood? Are we searching for something new? Do we need the latest and greatest graphics to satisfy our hunger or just a new perspective? Why tf does a horse made of legs have a 20th century guitar playing boy for a brother?

Quick disclaimer: I was a backer for this game and participated in several backer exclusive betas and demos. I knew from the first time I saw the game that it would have sauce though and hot damn I was right, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't quite expect the game to go THIS hard.
Nine Sols pops off immediately with some of the most satisfying combat I've experienced since Sekiro and this only gets better throughout the game as the incredible bosses somehow just keep getting better and better.
The setting is insanely detailed and the Taiwanese/Tao influence is a fresh new idea you don't see a lot in modern gaming. Honestly I'm not typically a huge fan of 2d metroidvanias but this game shone through in every way and backtracking for bonus items and secrets managed to still feel fun even in the late game.
What surprised me most was how high level the story is. The game starts out feeling like a typical revenge deal, but gets extremely deep and emotional with some of the sickest twists I've seen in gaming. Not to mention some of the most interesting and developed characters I've experienced in media. On top of this, the music is God tier.
Red Candle absolutely delivered. Please play this game! I'm almost 99% sure it's my game of the year at this point.

I wish I could completely relinquish all knowledge of this and everything connected to it. The Chris-chan of video games.
Look, you can view this as a new take on Armored Core that's faithful in some ways and too derivative in others or you can just see it as a completely different game using the IP. The way I view it? This is maybe some of the coolest, fastest, and most badass feeling combat/movement I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

For whatever reason no matter what I combined everything would lead back to Gargoyles and Stonehenge. What does this say about society?
