fine mix of point and click type murder mystery visual novel thing and basic picross game, with some alright characters and a decently engaging story along with cool music, just nothing particularly special and there's some jank to it here and there

a bit more polished and just about as fun as the first game, a bit easier which I don't actually mind, and copen is pretty cool to play as but I still can't pay attention to the story

absolutely genius puzzle game with a twisty and turny story, fun visual style, banger soundtrack, and the best dog in videogame history

pretty fun run and gun gameplay, though it can often be hard to pay attention to the (just kind of fine) story with how it's presented, and some of the later bosses are pretty annoying

core gameplay is fun and the multiplayer is fine, but a lot of the story mode levels are just kind of annoying and piss me off (I am not a hardcore bobblehead)

the fusion mechanic is a ridiculous community effort that simply cannot be understated and it makes the game so much more fun that it would be without it, and it definitely needs that because the actual adventure is just kind of average with plenty of rpg maker jank

excellent remake of an older sonic title, matching it up with 3&K in a fun adventure with classic mechanics and a few new things that's not too difficult but really makes it worth your while

though it may sometimes be a bit more of a pain to play than the first game (FUCK the emerald hunts), the story and presentation are really cool and it's mostly good fun

fun and unique platformer with cool vibes and charmingly awkward cutscenes, and no game with gamma's story can possibly be bad, it's wild that people just lie about sonic having a poor start in 3d

they made one of the greatest games of all time look like a demo, there is so much more in both quantity and quality with my only complaints being much more minor and I'm not sure if they can ever top this

putting silly miis into this game with the incredible makeup options will never not be fun but the actual rpg gameplay is pretty boring, just makes me want a new tomodachi life

2022

fun and mysterious gem of a game that fully encapsulates the feeling of playing something in a language you don't understand with a manual you have to piece together yourself, it's quite the experience even though at times it can be a bit too cryptic

nothing I can say about this game that hasn't already been said, it's a wonderfully told story with interesting gameplay and it's easy to see why it's so important

genuinely a really fun (if kind of short) game with a cute peripheral and a fair bit of challenge too, but it can feel pretty awkward to play on original hardware and it does NOT help you learn typing lol
