Spent an hour with the game, saw that it was 100 hours to beat on How Long To Beat and that it’s built for multiplayer. Nice concept, but not enough to keep me hooked.

Finished with the first section tonight and… I think I’m finished with the game as a whole.

While I did enjoy the game, especially the visuals, I can’t help but be bored with the ‘story’ and the challenges. Beating the high score? Sure! Finish the course without crashing? Bring it on! High fixing Uncle Mike without crashing while he’s in a stupidly small area likely to bail on? Nope.

Again, I enjoy this game but there’s a “gotta complete all of the things before moving on to the next level” mental snag that simply wouldn’t let me go.

After many, many years of not completing this game, I finally took the time to finish it tonight. The payoff was worth it.

Though the mechanics are fairly simple, the concept, story and the comedy in it is truly nuts and should be appreciated for it's uniqueness. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone since it's so damned unique that I honestly don't think most modern gamers would enjoy it.

Played this for the very, very first time this weekend since my son asked me to with him and his uncle with local couch co-op.

Pretty sure my Level 1 n00b player was playing againist bots because our trio went 3-0 with 3 Victory Royale and I quickly uninstalled the game after he went to bed.

So, before I start the dog pile - the mechanics are fun, the firefights are enjoyable, the color scheme is vibrant… but the HEAVY HEAVY advertisements of V-Bucks and micro transactions are simply vomit inducing.

Finished the game tonight and man.... there are no words to express how powerful the connection between Kratos and Atreus is and has become over the arc of the game. The 'closure' and 'exposure' at the end of the game with the foreshadowing of Ragnarok is something I'm definitely looking forward to, but want to save it for when I get to it.

Although not part of the main game, I completed the 3-4 hour Majima Saga that runs parallel to the story in Kiwami 2 with Kazama. Playing as Majima was absolutely enjoyable and the story a nice ‘icing’ on the cake that was Kiwami 2. It’s important to note that there is a major nod to Majima’s story from “Yakuza 0”, so without that context, a decent part of the short campaign is completely missed by the player.

Finally finished the game tonight and I’m physically and emotionally drained. The story is outstanding and left me without words. The jumping challenges were some of the hardest I’ve ever seen. I’m happy to report I completed the entire game with Assist Mode off - I only died 910 times in total. :)

Finally, after another 30 minutes and 2 hours+ yesterday, I completed the game. Phew!

Finished with the "Real Estate Royale" mini game and unlocked the [REDACTED] - MAN OH MAN was that fun to dump money into. Finished the story and... seeing where Kiryu and Majima come from in context from Yakuza Kiwami 1 adds so much more context - highly recommend anyone interested in the mainline series should start with Yakuza 0 specifically for the backstory.

Finished the main story tonight, it ended better than I thought it would. Nice, quick enjoyable campaign for a fighting game - really love NetherRealm's quality. :)

Whoa. That fucking ending. Wish I hadn't decided to leave the machine gun in the box though. Glad that my first RE experience was this game - really enjoyed it.

Finished Chapter 4 and 5 - gotta say that the game was just 'tight' enough to stay fresh throughout the game while being short enough to not outstay its welcome. Would recommend for horror fans looking for a quick thing to try.

Played this game during Extra Life 2022; it’s more Jackbox, and that’s a good thing. That said, the games are starting to get a little bit too complex for my taste. Gone are the days of “Quiplash”, my friends.

Played this game during Extra Life 2022; played and beat the two Arcade games with 3 local co-op friends and was instantly transported back to the late 80s and early 90s. The graphics aged like a fine milk, but the nostalgia was in full effect. I wish I had this many quarters as a kid!

Started this game during Extra Life 2022; I loved these games in 1999 and will love them until 2099, though my skills have and will atrophy at a pace only paralleled by a record setting sprinter.

Tried this game for the first time; I got about 10 minutes into the beginning and mentally freaked myself out to the point to where I was scared to move. Also, fuck subways.

Finally completed the game. Extremely happy to finish the story and see it through. Pretty sure I got the best ending, so that’s a plus.
