Easily one of the best metroidvania's that i've played. The combat is great, the platforming and movement feels amazing and they nailed the map design, I never felt like I was lost in my 20ish hours of playtime. As an added bonus I thought the story was pretty good overall!
HOWEVER despite my praises this game very clearly needed more time in the oven to fix some bugs, jank, and they seemingly ran out of time and couldn't finish one of the bosses (she is just said to be dead in the final cutscene).
That being said none of the bugs or jank actually interfered with my enjoyment, And despite the boss thing I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the metroidvania genre, just about everything in the game is top notch.

Replayed this game from my childhood and and it aged like fine wine. Whenever I play a gen 5 game it reinvigorates my love of pokemon
A very fun and charming roguelike. I liked the challenge and the skulls offered a variety of playstyles that I enjoyed trying

As someone who really doesn't have any nostalgia for 64 era collect-a-thons, this game holds up very well on it's own merits. It's really short, and REALLY easy but at it's $3 price point its hard to be upset with the length of the game and with its very tight and satisfying movement its still very engaging despite the difficulty.
Although I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I get a really unsettling, eerie feeling from this games atmosphere. I feel like if I die in the game I'm going to like, disappear and show up dead a few days later.

A very fun, albeit short Sifu-like game with charming characters and art direction, and a silly story. The game wants you to feel like cunning swordswomen outwitting your foes by utilizing your surroundings and I think it accomplishes that quite well. I love the goofy bickering between the guards and the lightheartedness of everything.
My biggest complaint would have to be that it's too short to fully utilize the gameplay they crafted. While I loved every bit of my playthrough, I wish there was a bit more of pretty much everything; enemy variety, more moves for the player, and more chapters. Even so, this game is still a blast to play and I loved every bit of what was there

I'm generally not a fan of visual novels but from the first trailer I saw I was totally hooked on the premise, and the game itself did not disappoint. The voice of the stubborn is my favourite character
Crazy how there probably won’t be another pokemon as good as this.

This game might genuinely have the worst camera controls of any game ever and I still can’t remember which trigger moves the camera up and which ones moves it down.
Some missions were kinda neat and I thought AC customization was pretty cool considering its a ps1 game but thank god I knew exactly what I was getting into with the last mission or else I might’ve actually killed myself

This is the greatest game i've ever played, every aspect of this game is incredible.
The writing is immaculate, I was hooked on the story the entire game, I think the way each act is structured makes each one feel wholly unique. Even outside the main story the companions are some of the most well written and compelling characters in any game I've played. Everyone one feels like a real person with real struggles and complex personalities.
The combat is incredibly fun too. There are so many ways you can tackle each combat encounter. Wanna shove people into chasms? you can do that. Wanna surround a group of enemies with explosive barrels and detonate them? also possible. Even with all the goofy ways to kill enemies the actual mechanics if you want to fight the old fashioned way are well polished and super satisfying with a lot of personal expression.
Finally, the role-playing elements are downright amazing. Your choices a lot of the time do really matter, you aren't railroaded into playing a specific way most the time, you can side with the bad guys and in the future the story reflects that. There are also a staggering amount of encounters and even bosses you can bypass or get an advantage on by talking, it made playing through the game as a bard feel really cool because the smooth talker part of my bard was reflected in the gameplay.

A fun rpg with an overall good story. Although a lot of social links weren’t very gripping to me, I liked the majority of the characters. The combat is the best in the series, but i dislike how easy it is to destroy any semblance of difficulty with a little effort.
As someone who has played both versions of Persona 5 I was surprised with how many small things were changed in Royal and it made me excited to re-experience the story and earlier palaces to see whats been changed. Not only that, but the modifications to the combat mechanics such as baton pass not having to be unlocked, and status effects being useful were very welcome changes and makes the game’s combat feel more fleshed out.
The new content from Royal was very good overall and added one of the best written characters in the game

Still holds up incredibly well

The first indie game i’ve ever played

Very polished but I never truly vibed with any of the weapons. Achilles is gay though so its fine
Not very good but undeniably incredibly fun, I’ve put in hundreds of hours

Probably the greatest 3ds game, also the controls weren’t that bad
