What a crackin' wee game. It's so frantic and chaotic. A short and sweet thing that crashes through your window, slaps you about, and is gone before you're fully aware of what happened.

The initial moment of "My lady, the votes have all been tallied.." then just straight into you being the president of New Japan while still in high school. The fuckin' building immediately opening up and you diving into a mech to go fight the enemy. Hype as shit.

It hits just all the right notes that get me going, and does it in such a good amount of time that I feel comfy recommending it to anyone.

Wordle is neat and I'm glad it's currently a cultural phenomenon. It's sweet that the guy made it as something to do with his wife everyday and refuses to monetize it in any way. I look forward to doing it everyday. It's a lil brain scratcher and fun to figure out. However, I think it's insanely easy to optimize the fun out of it. People who have their first 2-3 words pre-planned for the optimal letters, for example. When I hit the final line, I find myself opening a spreadsheet and seeing every possible combination of letters with my current info to find a real word, which is honestly one step short of a dictionary. Still, super neat and fun, glad it exists :)

Actually a much better-designed game than Genshin Impact, and not just because it has a more generous gacha. Although it lacks the scope and longevity of Genshin Impact, this could be seen as a good thing since HI3 has a pick up and play playstyle that is better suited to the slow, time-gated progresion typical in gacha games. Overall HI3 is one of the best mobile games I've played but at the end of the day it's still a gacha game with predatory monetisation so be aware of what you're getting into here.
