how did they make it WORSE it already SUCKED
charm, great visuals, and ost cannot make up for such boring gameplay and abysmally bad handholding/garbage combat (the bosses are fine but take way too long for how easy they are), I will say tho the level design is a marketable improvement over the previous 2 games, and I think it should be expanded upon if we get the old combat back next game
at least they tried this time ig, its not nearly as bad as the previous two so that makes it good right

quite possibly the worst combat ever put into any game ever, a massive achievement that they made sticker star's combat and boss design even worse
its not a 1/10 because huey is one of the best characters the series has given us

this is the sonic 06 of the mario franchise and worse, it was so bad that 9 year old me who bought this game at release didnt finish it until 2016 when CS was coming out

"its different" fuck you its good, best ost, best story, possibly best characters, it slaps, all it needed was better level design in some chapters, but i still love it
2000
really wanna replay it soon, got just as many good memories with it as ttyd, favorite n64 game for free
i have my nitpicks and prefer the original due to its faster game speed and the text being too slow (seriously guys its 2024), p much everything else is nitpicky like sound design and occasional dialogue changes
but i had the biggest grin on my face throughout the entire 32 hours i played, its beautiful, the battle mechanics are still as fun as ever, the remade soundtrack is (for the most part) a banger, its so faithful and felt like I was playing the original for the first time again as a kid, felt like a new yet extremely familiar take on ttyd, fitting for a remake
genuienly cant believe this exists, I dont think paper mario will ever be the same again but I am so happy i got to relive one of my all timers like this
(please nintendo make more of these im fucking begging you just make the game faster)

i heard this game was really bad so I was mentally preparing for another final fantasy 13, a game held back hard by its limitations and obvious overambition, and what I got was EXACTLY that, but something throughout the entirety of the experience felt different. Don't get me wrong, this game is an ABSOLUTE mess, its janky, the story requires you to watch/read a lot of shit to get the most out of it, some of its most prominent plot points and characters feel underdeveloped, and the open world is mostly empty outside of hunts and sidequests. And even then, this game left me sobbing by the end of it
and its really just because this game truly resonates with me, moreso than any other final fantasy. i love its party sm, noctis is a phenomenal protagonist, the world is beautiful, the vibes are higher than any other ff game, the music is enchanting (yoko literally never misses it actually baffles the mind), the game is gorgeous, and despite the story being clearly unfinished, it has some beats that worked SO well for me. Throughout the entire game I was just thinking of that one "this fucking sucks" guy pointing at literally the coolest shit ever meme, almost everything ff15 does worked so well for me and I genuinely like it more than most of the ff games I have played
ff15 is an absolute mess but it stuck with me hard and could have been my EASY favorite if it just had more time to develop itself
tldr, one of the worst games that I have ever loved and one of my favorites of the franchise so far

the last tier of the game kinda blows (last like 3 stages) and it can feel somewhat stiff sometimes to control despite feeling amazing 90 percent of the time, but i cant really think of many games that are this fun to replay that dont happen to be one of my all time favorites, timeless classic
2024
basically only played this out of sheer curiosity because everyone was throwing a fit about how "woke" and trash it is (plus found it for a discount) andddd
its alright, but imo tries WAAAAAY too hard to be like nier automata (a way better game) when its clear that storytelling and writing was not the strong suit of this team (especially with THIS voice acting, good god). It's strange because I feel like this game actually has better combat than nier but worse everything else (the music is equal tho holy shit its fire).
But judging it on its own, the story just was not very interesting, and the environmental design also leaves a lot to be desired, you will either be exploring one of two places in this game after the first area: a desert or a sewer/lab until the end of the game, the lab areas in particular feel so alike i was stunned there was two of them (both with the same boss at the end as well). Combat is a lot of fun tho, felt like a great mix between bayonetta and sekiro and I never got particularly tired of it minus how precise the dodges need to be to actually give iframes. Bosses were definitely the highlight, but a little bit too easy, until the endgame where the last 4 bosses are genuinely excellent and pretty challenging tho, loved those but it also sort of disapointed me that the entire game was not like that. Sidequest design is also just kinda there, very typical and I never really felt motivated to do them aside from the true ending (which I did not get because the "lily" bar not being visible is the stupidest fuckin decision in this game, think it glitched out or smth cuz it would NEVER appear)
Overall, a decent enough game, not worth the 70 dollars at all but yeah at a sizeable discount for sure, all I hope is that it wins best soundtrack at the game awards and makes EVERYONE mad, cuz it deserves it lmao
