More mechanics than the first time. More slimes than the first game. A lot of Beatrix's relationships from the first game carrying over into the second makes my chest feel a little funny. It's nice when I feel like my actions really mattered in the sequel, even though the sequel is just assuming that I did everything available in the original game.

Playing Kingdom Hearts is kind of tedious but it's the first game of a series that I really love. There's a charm to this one that I feel like isn't in the other games, with them really going "no, see, we're fusing Disney characters with Final Fantasy characters and having our own original story, see?" and really having to sell that concept.

That said, the gameplay can be really really awkward for an action RPG and every other games improves combat. But it's still really, really good.

A good and solid game that I have poured an unknowable amount of hours into. That said, I see that the game is listed as being from 2011 and that has made me feel very, very old.

A cult classic for a reason. I've thought about Ib since I was a teenager, and I have gender envy for Garry.

A game that takes obvious inspiration from Mega Man, but man, it sure does it right! This game is an indie darling for a reason, and it's always a blast to play. The world is so fun and I just boot it up and play it from start to finish for fun, sometimes.

All of the different campaigns are also fun, especially since each playable character does play entirely differently. I really enjoy playing as Specter Knight, but that might just be my Mega Man X bias.

The first time I played this game I completely did not realize that there was a teeth and dentist motif throughout the entire game. This is insanely funny in retrospect. Really good game, really creative puzzle game that only lets you give things to people and either nod or shake your head.

Really excellent visual novel game that I think is both fun and utilized the Sonic cast really well. It was fun! What more can I ask for a free game for April Fool's?

This was THE game that I wanted to play on release as a kid, and I didn't get to. Instead I watched people play it for hours on end, and when I finally got to play it figuring out the puzzles for myself felt so fulfilling. I am in love with GLaDOS.

This game sucked but I loved it a lot. And given the reviews, I think I might have been the only one? The entire time I played though, I couldn't help but feel that they really needed to make it so you could play as Pokemon who weren't Pikachu.

I definitely poured a ridiculous amount of time into this and spent a lot of time optimizing my strategies. But once again. Know this, kind reader. This game was not good.

Not as good as Okami and actually detracts from the original. But. I still did enjoy playing it. The DS's hardware limitations make it especially a hard pill to swallow, when I was used to playing Okami itself on my Wii.

I'm going to be candid. I really love Pokemon SoulSilver but I do think that people look at the Johto remakes with nostalgia goggles. They are a great improvement over the original Johto region games... but at the same time, the original Johto region games are kind of a mess.

This was the game to do Pokemon following you right, though.

Gameplay is fun and the loops are quick once you've got the hang of it. How many times can you try to get to the surface? How many times will you say "oh, I can try just one more time." I know in my experience that the first time I made it to the surface it was between classes in college on my Switch, and I very nearly missed it because I was so engrossed in the story. The characters are lovable and fun to get to know.

Great fun with friends! We love horror here.

A fun deckbuilding game that generates a world and lets you play in it. I wish that the relationship building aspects of the game had more thought put into it, instead of just allowing you to talk to characters and it rolling the dice about how the interaction went. It's fun to get new little creatures, though!
