After running through the first two games and finishing the whole trilogy and with 10 years in between. This was a more modern approach to the action genre. I liked the new design for Bayo and even tho the ending became a Marvel movie, ahem the Endgame. I did like the expansion on the different entities. First game, Bayo fighting the Angels, second game, now fighting the Demons, third game, fighting technically AI and FAIRIES. I hated the Viola chapters, one thing was activating Witch Time with Parry which isn’t hard ITS CAUSE ITS MAPPED TO A DIFFERENT BUTTON. Jeanne stages were alright, ya know PLATINUM GAMES loves their shooters. Anyways, I love the gameplay aspect with controlling demons and tons of weapons but the ending was atrocious. (The Desert, China and Paris locations and wherever else they teleport ya was very random just saying.) They really named her Bayonetta, I mean I guess worth of a sequel I guess. BUT ONE MORE THING, THEY REALLY ADDED A GODZILLA PART, RHYTHM PART, AIRPLANE SHOOTER PART.

This game was fire no lie, apart from Viola and the story, fire gameplay. I would definitely replay the trilogy again.

ALL ABOUT YO YO BAYO.

Alright compared to the first one, this was more gameplay driven which tends to happens with a lot of sequels. (SLY COOPER, PIKMIN) the first one lays out the story, second one smooths the gameplay. Bayo 2 over everything, the difficulty was way more balanced out than 1 and the visuals were much more vibrant and colorful. I also love the inclusion of Rosa, her mummy and her daddy, Bayo is coming into terms with being Cereza but damn she got mommy and daddy issues. The game was a breeze after playing the first one and I actually got my first platinum on Chapter XI! Anyways, it’s time to complete the trilogy with the 3 entry released this year.

I swear the Katana thing goes dummy, use the L move with the Hammer and switch to the Katana, full circle and does crazy amount of damage for a single L move.

This game gotta be the most outlandish and out of pocket humor in gaming I have ever played, just the fact that she loses her clothes when she summons a demon. I’ve played Platinum Games, Nier Automata and was a fan with the action and story and I came into this game in a hacky slashy mood and I was questioning how is this a Nintendo exclusive. The depth of the combat was very Devil May Cry and old God of War, with the mashing and the cool combos and the different weapons. Very tight system they got going on. Anyways, I’m gonna go join the fan club and play the sequel to keep this going.

Such a dope concept for a game. They mixed rock music and Devil May Cry and it was pretty gnarly. The music used for the game was originals and songs by bands like NINE INCH NAILS and some indie rock too. The art style got that anime thang going on and memorable characters as well. The levels were pretty straight forward, run through this and jump here but they can definitely expand if there’s a sequel. My favorite character was prolly the robot that draws on his face, CNMN. THAT IS THE HOMIE AND HE SUPER DUPER FUNNY. I didn’t change my special because I didn’t know how so I used the POWER CHORD move the whole game lmao. Such a fun game if you like the combo system from DMC and great sound design. The only problem was the quick time events, cause sometimes the beat doesn’t align with the note, that’s all. Good Xbox exclusive GO TRY IT ON GAME PASS.

I’ve heard of Kat and Dusty cause of PlayStation All Stars (that one smash Sony game on PS3) I ain’t ever knew what game GRAVITY RUSH was until I recently got a PS Vita and saw that it was an exclusive. The game actually uses the gyro controls really well but the big world and tiny screen is too much for the camera and I was caught in the blender. Kat is a gravity girl who got a kitty named Dusty who got the powers to control and use gravity for attacking and movement. The city in the sky called Hekseville is over ran by these monsters called Nevi who got weak points glowing in red lmao. You do task and missions around the city and take down big baddies. I struggled with the monsters who I had to chase down all over the map cause my gravity meter will run out and then I fall and switches the camera every time and would piss me off. Anyways, nice little PS exclusive that has a cult following, there is the sequel and the remastered. Play the remastered please.

Last most recent game of the Pikmin series. AND NO I DIDNT DO THE DAMN POST GAME CONTENT. SO, DONT GET ON ME FOR NOT 100% A GAME. I ONLY PLAY THE MAIN OBJECTIVE CAUSE POST GAME IS USUALLY IS THE SAME OVERALL GAMEPLAY. Anyways, the overhaul of the gameplay and graphics was a huge improvement with the inclusion of the homie Oatchi. This doggy is so powerful, I just used him to run into enemies and my Ice Pikmin start jumping it and FREEZE. This game is essentially Pikmin 2 2. Got the caves and levels and stuff. No time limit unlike the 1st and 3rd games. Great game, I’ll see if I wanna continue cause the Dandori battles were a pain but fun. And I did expect more for the Night Expeditions, it was a whole separate mode.

LITTLE FUN HOMAGE TO THE FIRST GAME. HOW DARE THEY MAKE YOU DO IT IN 15 DAYS FOR 30 PARTS.

I wanna start off, after playing the two original games Pikmin 1 and 2, this is such a beautiful expansion for the series. They did everything justice with the visuals by bringing the Pikmin to life. I loved the new additions of Rock which were so damn beefy compared to Purple who were chunky. My favorite is the Winged cause my other favorite is the Blue which can go under water and they just fly. One thing was the difficulty and length, I know it was a reintroduction to the series and a port for the Wii U but 1 and 2 did not feel this short. Anyways, I loved the game and playing through a series and seeing how it evolves is a fantastic way to enjoy games. Now it’s time for PIKMIN 4!!!

Wow first time playing a Pikmin game, and it was so relaxing. Such a great concept of deploying your army to fight, collect stuff and huddle back to you or base. I understand this was a passion project and it was fairly short but it was a great start for a new IP for Nintendo. The world building was incredible and I’m excited for the next games. My fav is the blue Pikmin cause they can travel everywhere and underwater, I had like 400 of them. Red Pikmin were the hard hitters and the yellow Pikmin were useless except for bombs. I know the 2nd game is longer and it’s gonna take me a minute to finish but I loved the pacing of this game. No wonder why people enjoyed this so much.

I did die once to the last boss cause I was careless and had a sliver of health and I got stomped on.

Aiight, talk about “if Nintendo ain’t gon make another RPG Paper Mario I’ll do it”. The game was very charming and everything from the combat, medals and sound effects were straight pulled from Paper Mario. The music is awesome, the battle system has so much depth, I don’t ever do side quests but they were truly worth it. Got the homie Chompy on my side which really helped with the final hit on bosses. After Chapter 4 was when it got real hard, the difficulty spike going through Rubber Prison and the Wasp Hive was ridiculous, got my behind beat by monsters with 30+ health AINT EVEN A BOSS. Vi was the strongest link with Hurricane Toss doing like 20+ damage while Empowered. And with Lief doing his Frigid Prison thing and locking them up. The homie Kabu was just the high defense dummy that uses Taunt lmao. Chompy is the real homie, with his little cute red bow tie upping his attack power by 1. I thought the places you go were very distinct from each other, differentiated by color with places like a hive, a sand box and a wheel hub thing which was pretty cool. I enjoyed the game but I hated the stealth segments which don’t really work in a 2d janky movement game. And idk why they mapped everything to one button. You know how many times I would dig with Kabu when I’m tryna run. Bruh. The final boss was pretty difficult, I had to go grind side quests and get buff medals for Vi but overall it’s cool. Imagine hard mode, nah. A wonderful indie title, and very deep battle system with its own twists. I approve!

My first Platinum Games I played was Nier Automata (last year) which I did love, and this was a flashback to how the combat and gameplay felt awkward but once it clicks, it’s soooo satisfying. So let me tell ya, controlling two entities and using their positions was a very unique take on the combat. Ya know my favorite move Bind with my favorite Legion Sword went absolutely dummy, and to be honest the Sword legion was probably the only viable one, Arrow was useless. The story was the most convoluted mashed potatoes I’ve ever been told, so you in the police force in the middle of a wrecked highway and got a bat and somehow you get this monster and he protects you and saves the day. And then a gang in whatever zone and then pandemic and drugs and then your boss is crazy and then a kingdom hearts final battle and then you kill your sibling and blank screen. Bruh. The ending was garbage but fantastic final battle which took all my resources. Wack ending omg I need an explanation please.

oh yeah the controls were awful omg and File 08 was annoying and dumb. BUT File 09 and onwards FIRE.

THAT HUB MUSIC GOES DUMMY BTW.
Fun game, give it a try, it might take a while to click, beware of the camera.

Good luck on balancing the ice cream while rude people run into you.

First entry I played of the series, I thought it was pretty nice shooter / platformer and not as gimmicky as sly Cooper. I ain’t know nothing about this series but if the rest of them like this? Sheeeesh. I thought the gameplay with different weapons and dimension switching rifting mechanic was pretty cool but I didn’t like the Disney channel styled writing omg that was terrible. The shotgun I had was automatically the most broken and I was just spamming especially during bosses like the heart for Nefarious’s big giant machine thing. Took it out in 30 seconds. The worlds were pretty similar I don’t remember, they tried an open world with the one with the Archives and I forgot the rest. Overall fun experience, ps5 graphics are insane hopefully it wasn’t carried because of that cause gameplay was like a bullet hell.
