for what it is its pretty great. really damn cool how they got EVERYONE from past games + some stellar new ones. all the work they put in...all the animations...stages...wonderful.
if the adventure mode had the same level as depth as brawl this would be my fave smash game but alas..brawl has a special place in my heart. this one does kick ass tho

This one was ok. Doesnt really have the charm of klonoa 1/2 but i gotta praise its cutscenes. Lots of effort in those. Also why was huepow here.
While i liked klonoa 1 and all its charm, klonoa 2 is where its at. Really neat levels, and solid characters
Really really lovely. Great atmosphere, art music. While not every characters was a hit for me alot of stuff that worked really worked. I wish the spirits couöd have interacted with eachother more, as well as how some collectible quests felt a tad tedious.
But as i said this was a wonderful game. A fave ive played this year.

Pretty cute and chill overall. Certain themes were akwardly handled but beyond that yeah it was alright
Super solid!! Fun characters, great va, cool art direction!! Shocked this never got a sequel of sorts
What holds this game back is the game breaking bugs and crashes lol. The amount of times i had to reload a save due to smth not working was too many...

Took a while to get a hang of things. Neat little game. Not for me i think, but it doesnt have to be. Wish i could change the font size tho
Dissapointed by this one. I dig most of the new cast, and i REALLY dug the somniums but alot of stuff just never landed for me as they should have.
Some twists were just hard to buy, never got invested in some of the dynamics, and the way the cast from the old game is treated makes me wonder if they even should have even been in this one in the first place. This game just didnt do it for me.

very creative and charming! my one complaint is that i wish the party members had more time to shine writing wise but honestly im just v happy to have played this
A pleasant suprise since i wasnt really expecting much from this game. Lovely cast with some nice new interactions from the old (kamek and bowser jr esp).
Didnt vibe with the ring/system as much. and whole the elementals are flashy and cool it felt lacking interaction wise. i also found the some of the boss designs to be...kinda dull sadly.
On the other hand i did enjoy finding all the toads mostly to see what they'd say. Alot of the dialouge is really funny. The enviroments are also a treat.
I didnt bother trying to get 100% mostly bc i wanted to go out of a high note rather than waste time trying to get all the throphies and be frustrated
Not my fave paper mario game but still a solid one.

Pretty fun even if this game made me realise that im just not v good at 2d sonic games lol. They killed it with some of the original levels and the music kicks ass.
If theres one complaint i have is how you gotta start the whole zone over rather than the act when u get a game over. Felt like unnecessary frustration to add, and it kinda killed my motivation when i screwed up the secret final boss.

Yeah this slingshotted up to my top fave kirby game. Im impressed how natural it all felt having a proper 3d kirby.
Just a really enjoyable ride all around. Had a hard time putting the controller down bc i just wanted to keep going!
The levels, music, the power ups just kick alot of ass. I love the sideactivities you can fo as well.
If i had any minor complaints itd be the lack of a Try Again button for main stages. Esp if you screwed up a side mission and need to start over (felt odd also how treasure stages had one but not this...? Oh well)
But yeah. Just a really really good game that i would rec with all my heart. Think its the first kirby game i 100% bc i didnt want things to end haha

This review contains spoilers
this one ended up as my least fave mainline game sadly. loads of intresting surface stuff that never really delivers.
what i liked:
- pokemon amie!! really good and cute way to connect with ur pokemon!!!! pet them or feed them , each with their unique animations for it!!!! i love it. all the little lines of “pokemon withstood the attack so u wouldnt worry” or “i know u can do it pokemon!!” is sooooo cute i ADORE it
- the post game looker story is literally the only part of the entire narrative that like. had me invested lol. short and with a strong character (emma). were was this energy for the main plot and crew
- im glad exp share all is a thing now. less pain in the ass to level mons up (i would even say overleleved lol but w/e)
and..thats sadly it. as to why this ended up as my least fave
- the characters, really.
- i love the idea of some of them, how tierno for example just want to have a decent dance team, or shauna stumbling around trying to find a goal for herself.
- except..nothing interesting is explored with that. we dont get tiernos motivation for why he wanna have a dance team, we dont really get any further than a hint of shaunas insecurity before it kinda gets..swept away?
- the only memorable moment i had with these characters was the fireworks scene and..thats it! give me more scenes like that!!
- dont even get me started on ur neighbor rival lol. an absolute nothing character
- everything just feels underdeveloped, from the main characters, the villain and also the main plot
- i wanted to be invested in az’s whole deal but his story is inserted so oddly i was left kinda uh...ok...than anything else. this could just be a me thing tho
- i also think, beyond the narrative, that the transition to 3d is kinda rough. pokemon models look kinda washed out from the more colourful sprites in bw. the character models themselves feel kinda stiff in conversations.
- i think mega evos are cool but the focus on kanto or other regions makes kalos lose some of its unique identity. why didn't we get mega evos for our kalos starters??
- i like 2d art dont get me wrong, but the lack of 3d intros for say, the gym leaders, was such a lost opportunity to showcase their personality (in comparison to the flare admins)
- the gym leaders themselves felt largey forgettable, which is a damn shame bc i dig alot of their designs
- navigating luminose city is also a pain in the ass mostly bc how haywire the camera can get
- also why was style level a thing
overall the most lackluster of pokemon games im afraid.

this ended up as my top fave 2d gen of the bunch
- i adored the characters. cheren, bianca and n’s devolpmetn was great and i was completely invested in all of them
- the PRESENTATION man!!! the cities!! the different angles as u walk around!! the grande feeling of it all!!!! the badge gates!!!! the elite 4 intros!!! they went above and beyond
- the idle animations for all the pokemon ....holy shit
- speaking of i adored so many of the designs and god damn was it bold of them to have an entire region consist of only new mons!! only gen1 has technically does that lol. shame they wont seem to be doing this anytime soon.
- some of the gameplay hiccups is still there but alot of the battles felt faster and smoother overall? youre not obligated to use the hms as much as before
-also thank god u can apoint the y button to more than one thing now lol.
- also hey reusable tms! takes away the tension of decision making but now i dont feel like i screwed up 4ever by using one
- the postgame felt a bit lackluster at times i admit but some things had my attention
- not sure how bw2 is gonna top this! im excited to try it!
