A wonderful 2D Mario game, and one of the best to boot. Tight controls, great music, wonderfully designed and colorful world, this is a must-play for any platforming fan.

I love the charm this game has, and the setting is wonderful, but the controls make playing this game a struggle. Everything is an ice level with how much you slip and slide when you land, and some options like the long jump are completely missing. FLUDD is a fun mechanic, I just wish the game as a whole was more well designed.

A 3D Mario classic. Controls wonderfully (albeit the camera freaks out sometimes and messes with that), and the music is some of the best in the series.

While a cornerstone of the earliest days of 3D games, the controls, camera, and physics make this a game that doesn't hold up very well at all in the modern era.

One of my favorite RPGs of all time.

One of the best Pokémon games to come out in recent years. The gameplay loop is strangely addicting, and while it may not be much to look at graphically, it's chock-full of content and love from the developers. There are so many little touches and details to appreciate, and doing everything 100% is endless hours of content. It does get very tedious if you're going for a perfected Pokédex (every entry filled out 100%), but everything else is great.

One of my favorite games of all time.

Absolutely addicting gameplay loop, satisfying progression system, great story, great music, amazing attention to detail regarding the source material, a great but fair level of challenge... if you're a fan of brawlers and roguelikes, or you love Greek mythology, give this a try.
