This has the same vibe as Link's Awakening, with some weird choices for themed areas that make this game feel a bit like a fever dream. It's still got solid platforming and fun, if not challenging boss fights. A fun, breezy time.

Fun and funny.

Gameplay and mechanics are tight, excellent sound, and matches are never slow, unlike the progression system. Mostly stuck with this to the end just due to stubborness.

Interesting approach to a narrative adventure game. Cooperative play makes the decisions social, and the decision trees showing all the paths not taken make for replayability.

Played only an hour or so of the campaign, and then a whole lot of online multiplayer, which was fun.

Only fitness game that I've ever been able to stick with.

Can't stop, won't stop. I don't even understand what I find so compelling about this game, but I continue to get deep satisfaction out of completing my daily chores. I had to force myself to set a completion goal so that I could move on to other games.

Progression is still too slow and rewards too meaningless, despite the gameplay and expanded modes being fun.

Hilariously cheesy and cheap. Nostalgia makes me love every second of it, as it was one of the first games I got after I installed a fancy new CD-ROM in my PC back in the early 90s.

Still fun, but just started to feel like a chore, given the lack of meaningful progression or rewards. I did play this on and off for 18 months, so enjoyed my time with the multiplayer game, overall.

I played through all of this as couch co-op, and they're a silly, sometimes frustrating, but overall satisfying time. I doubt it's as fun solo, but I loved playing through it with friends.

A formulaic WoW expansion whose story never really grabbed me, leaving just the same old mechanics and systems all over again. Yawn.

This was a fun couch co-op experience, with interesting and varied game mechanics as the game progresses. It gets bogged down a bit by poor writing, which makes it hard to like either of the playable characters in the game, and instead just feel bad for the little girl with terrible parents.

Fun platforming, with some really neat levels whose progress is synchronized to pop songs. I played through this with couch co-op, which was fun, but some of the boss fights proved fairly frustrating. Overall, a solid platformer.

This is the first Pokemon game I actually beat. While the story is forgettable, collecting Pokemon, and completing the checklist items to complete the Pokedex was mindless fun. A great game to play while listening to podcasts.
