Made a new video to go along with this so hope ya'll enjoy it if ya check it out!
When I think of the beginning of the HD Era of gaming I can really only think of one game, Bullet Witch.
Bullet Witch is in many a way a drive of the creative spirit of a company like Cavia and while absolutely flawed I can't help but absolutely love it. A lot of this is nostalgic tie I won't lie but I just love its playful, explorative love with what it's doing and trying to do. It hits me like an absolute fun wave when I bounce around like a cool hot witch lady blasting mothafuckas down with the fully upgraded machine gun broom. Something about this sits within my mind as cozy, I love going back to it every now and again and giving it a cozy playthrough. It's like a nice goth ass cup of hot chocolate on a cold ass night ya know?
It's not some amazing masterpiece but I don't care I will always love this game. This game is like watching a 2000's Syfy/Fox series that maybe lasted like a season or two before disappearing into the ether forever. It's got a certain vibe and spirit! Like a playable 90's apocalyptic OVA (though not as hyperviolent) that flies by on vibes, huge chaotic spells and the rule of cool in ways. Alicia is a rad protag even if I wish the story here gave her a bit more in general, honestly I wish it gave Maxwell Cougar a bit more too but it also kinda perfectly fits the lean fuckin around with the 360 feel this game is going for.
This game definitely isn't for everybody, I guarantee people probably hate the shit out of this game or think little of the things I think make it really unique, soulful and fun! But for me it's just so wonderful. It's just so intoxicating to me and my memories paint more of the picture of this for me.
Bullet Witch is comfort food that I'll never hesitate to go back to every now and again.

I just watched your video accompanying this review and you kinda opened my eyes about the PS3/360 era. I came late to that era because money problems etc so I always felt like it was kind of a dark age for gaming, and I still think it is, but I definitely need to check out some of the more obscure titles that still tried something interesting at the time. Thank you!
@Tophokles Yeah, that entire era was kinda bizarre in retrospect. A lot of games coming out were a lot of the same exact brown and grey type shooter and a lot of companies struggled so a loooot of the AA industry struggled hardcore but the outliers and strange games that did come out were all reeeeeally interestingly strange imo. I feel like even in what is perceived as "dark times" there can still be quite a lot of great hidden gems all around or maybe on platforms that ya either didn't give attention to or wouldn't expect. It's neat!
No problem, thank you as well and I hope exploring that gen and some of the more obscure games from it yields neat results for ya! :D
