Transformers
2004
Armoured core for kids
This is for the lesser version of Maken in pretty much every way.
It's MUCH slower, more clunky, the atmosphere is worse, the redone mechanics suck, and it lacks that Sause the og game had.
At the end of the day though, Maken IS still Maken

Dual Hearts
2002
I am in love. Legitimately a new all time favourite.
I've heard a few times that the best games are the 7/10s, the messy projects that demand your patience but have the ideas and heart and ambition to reward it. Dual Hearts is this game through and through.
What you will put up with: Mildly janky controls, not enough sound, the occasional block pushing puzzle and a few boss fights that range from tedious to infuriating.
What you will receive:
A beautiful sleepy island town full of hangoutitude that you will come to love and appreciate along with its adorable and charming low-poly-anime townsfolk.
A series of levels that range from spyro to psychonauts in their approach to interpreting dreams, not all of which hit, but none of which outstay their welcome.
A whole ass grand JRPG narrative contained within the confines of a sleepy little town, Persona style.
An absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
So much optional content, so many secrets, all rewarding you for caring about being in this space and exploring everything it has to offer.
And MOST OF ALL,
Your cute round little pig moomin failson best friend who I will die for 100 times over.
I struggle to articulate just how much I love this game and how happy it made me feel to just exist in its spaces. So many little hand-crafted spots and moments, deeply unnecessary, placed in there with love.
It'd mean the world to me if this review made one other person find and love this game, the same way that a random offhand forum comment did for me <3
