I played the modded version of this that adds some QOL features, which is definitely how I recommend playing it. It still feels a bit dated, and actually ended up being my least favourite of the 4 played (behind Dread, Fusion, and Zero Mission). Still a great game, but hard to put on the same level when the others were just more fun to play through.

Cleverly-designed and charming, puzzle games inevitably frustrate me but this one was a fun time throughout, with reasonable challenges that kept you on your toes.

As someone who's somewhat resistant to roguelikes, this one really surprised me. An enjoyment of card games and a rewarding gameplay loop had me really enjoying this.
Incredible follow-up to the first game. I loved the more character-focused approach to the story this time around, and I enjoyed the gameplay improvements a bunch too. I'm looking forward to a third entry.
One song, never stops

This was my first game in the series and I absolutely loved it. From the incredible characters, to the gorgeous world, to the story, dialogue choices, and more, I loved it all. An emotional journey from beginning to end. Highly recommend it.
This game was nothing short of incredible. Where Breath of the Wild carved a new, revolutionary future for the Zelda series, Tears of the Kingdom expands upon that in further revolutionary ways, feeling like a return to a familiar land and a new experience all at the same time.
The story was absolutely a step above Breath of the Wild's effort in this regard. I do wish they'd have improved more on how the story was delivered, because this felt a little too stuck in the delivery methods that Breath of the Wild established.
The vehicle mechanics, even if at times a little frustrating to piece together, were nothing short of a miracle in many ways. The physics work that had to be done here to get this game as stable as it is, just incredible work. And I loved every second of messing around with vehicles.
Did this game establish the wonder of that first time running out into the world in Breath of the Wild? No. But it established new ways to explore the world and gave us different tools for doing it in a way that made it all feel new again. And that's no small feat. Nintendo's given us another masterpiece.

Played through the story in one go, this game is incredible. It looks great, the soundtrack is fantastic (Tee Lopes don't miss), and the game plays like a dream. The game is great.
I still think I wish there was more campaign here because the base game's campaign was so damn fun, but this game is perfect for a survival mode like this. New characters are great, new tunes are great, and it was fun to dive back in!
Really enjoyed it. Ultimately I wish the Souls influence wasn't as present, but besides that, I had a lot of fun here. Unlocking more lightsaber skills and Jedi Force abilities just made the game feel better and better, and the story delivered. Looking forward to the sequel.
This trilogy was an absolute fantastic adventure. The story was captivating, the characters absolutely made the game what it was, the choices I made mattered, and the way things connected between the three games made me care even more about what I was doing throughout. Even if the shooting mechanics weren't anything too special, the trilogy won me over with everything else it had to offer. Absolutely incredible.
I'm glad I finally got around to playing this game, and with the help from some friends actually came to understand how it works (on a basic level). Loved the story so much, really came to enjoy the battle system (on casual mode anyway), and in the end only a few real issues with the game. What a journey, what a story, and what a soundtrack.
I enjoyed this one a lot more than Triple Deluxe. The problem with Triple Deluxe was that it felt like I was going through the motions in levels that weren't very interesting, basically killing time. The levels, music, aesthetic, and abilities were all way more interesting this time around. I was more invested in the light story that it had, and the robot stuff adds so much to the game. Overall a pretty good game, I had fun.
Still incredible. Top tier game. What a soundtrack. A few annoying levels, but all brilliant stuff here.
