this game is so bad i couldnt even stomach it as a kid
the OST still kinda bangs though like most sonic games that came out during this era

This rating is for Golden Deer, as that's the only route I played.
Pre-timeskip is pretty okay. Plot is poo-poo but the general gameplay loop is fine.
Post-timeskip goes to shit, the most boring segment I've played in a game in a while. Also has really shit maps in the lategame.

This game is great but it doesn't really do anything particularly special
It's just a solid Mario Kart experience and not much more than that
I did get a good 1000 or so hours in it as a kid though

My favourite Mario Kart game
Got some of the worst item balance though

2016

RAW KINO SWAG
(I just wish the dodging and hitboxes were better)

This game is pretty great, but honestly not for me. Unsurprising considering I'm not traditionally into metroidvanias either way. Anyone into metroidvanias will probably cum playing this game though

A literal fucking embarassment to the Destiny franchise. The worst one at that. Single worst piece of content I've ever played for any game. The year 3 seasons only made it worse. Shit game.

LITERALLY the best game in the entire 3DS library. If you still own a 3DS I fucking implore you play this god damn game. It's raw swag.

AHHH FUCK IM COOOOOOMINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

This probably should've gotten the remake treatment to be honest. The combat is beyond terrible, especially in certain boss fights.
The game also just takes way too long to get going, some chapters are pretty much filler including one of the last ones.

Finale is pretty good though. I will admit.

Honestly, would be a lot lower of WotM wasn't a fantastic raid. Best D1 raid imho.

This is the kind of game that is pretty good when you're a newbie but awful when you're a veteran. Digital Extremes proves time and time again that they only care about bringing new players in with new content that doesn't do anything to flesh out the """endgame""" experience, and the game is full of bloat content that isn't even worth doing in the first place as a result.

The monetisation is pretty solid though, all things considered.

Just stick like 100 - 200 hours in this game and never touch it again. That's about how long it's actually good for.

Really good platformer but holy fuck I will NEVER beat a run in this game
(will update if i somehow manage it)
