Overhyped game. If you didn't play as a cat, no one would care about this game. The mechanics are boring - the cat practically moves for you. There are way too many text boxes for a game focusing on presentation and visuals. It is focusing too much on the story when that is not the focus. The game is short, and I'm grateful for that cause I could not put up with this kind of gameplay for any longer.

I played it on the 2.01 patch. Great game. Night City is a beautiful place to walk and drive around. The skyline looks really pretty too. Gameplay is fun, and there are a lot of mechanics to exploit. I went in blind, and didn't have any problems with difficulty (Normal Mode).
I think the story is nice, but does feel weak in some areas. The voice acting and animation is excellent, much better compared to other triple A studio games. You do get immersed with those animations.
The guns are fun and have cool features. I did encounter some funny bugs such as floating people or cars flying, but nothing game breaking. I think everyone should give Cyberpunk a chance now!

This game is a disgrace, and solidifies how little TPC cares about their franchise. Looks likes a mobile game. Plays identical to the DS versions. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about these games. Can't believe they put this crap out after the fantastic remakes that were ORAS.

If you like 2D Mario, this is a no brainer. Endless levels, but every single Mario Maker level is either too easy, or forged in hell. Getting those just right levels and mastering them is really fun. Though I despise the stupid animation and wait time between deaths.
2015
It's such an addictive game once it clicks. The skill ceiling is so high, you are always improving. Its a shame that Epic is ruining the game now, but objectively, the game itself is incredible.
Game Freak actually did something. Wow. This game was incredible and a lot of fun. Much needed change for the series. The catching and battles are fast, seamless and entertaining. Most battles end up quickly - either you KO the opponent, or you get KO'd. You level up really fast too, but are never overleveled. Also has a dodge roll button! Graphics are really bad, but this is the step in the right direction.
2011
This game is a masterpiece. I've been playing it since the early Xbox 360 days, and have bought the game on the Switch and PC. I mainly play it on PC nowadays and the game keeps getting better. Whenever I am bored of other games, this is what I jump back to. So much content, amazing boss fights, and even grinding sometimes is relaxing! (Though I despise fishing). Such a gem of a game, I recommend this to everyone! This is even more fun with friends.
What a masterpiece of a game. My favorite FromSoft game. This game has not a single ounce of fat. Just great gameplay paired with amazing level design and fantastic bosses. Once the mechanics click, this game becomes a blast to play. Not once did I get frustrated at a boss. The super aggressive nature makes it a fast paced game, and I love how it plays out. If you aren't daunted by its difficult learning curve, pick it up!
2007
It's a 3D Mario game, you know its a masterpiece. I didn't have the Wii untill 2012, so I played this really late compared to everyone else, but it still blew my mind. It was years ahead of any other game I had played.
The movements feel so responsive in the space setting, and the mechanics are just so satisfying. Jumping from planet to planet is a joy. Slowly lighting up the observatory is a beautiful way to show the progress in the game. I've played this game multiple times, and its such a charming game.

I abandoned this game really early on. I couldn't deal with the pacing, and the "empty" world. Yes, its a really pretty game, but the realistic aspect of the game was a bit too realistic for me. Movement felt clunky, and a lot of the tasks felt like a chore. Maybe I'll give it a shot later, but I had a really bad first impression.
2018
Can't believe I put this game off for so long. This a fabulous game. I really love the pixel art, and the movement - its wonderful! I love how snappy everything feels.
The game is about climbing a metaphorical mountain, and its a sweet story. The actual mountain we climb is really difficult though. That's why I really appreciate the instant respawn feature. Its like a series of the Expert Mario Maker levels, with great level design, instant respawn times, and pretty pixel art! Grab it, its a short and sweet game, which makes you feel really nice and warm!

This was the first Yakuza game I played. At the start, I was kinda disappointed by the game, since the mechanics really didn't click and I wasn't super invested in the story. But right around Chapter 3 I got hooked!
I really love the story for these games. Its not the most complex thing, but I really like it for that. They know its not supposed to be really deep and do a great job with it. I really like the way the characters are built up, and you get these really lovable and hate-able characters. The battle mechanics are simple and flashy, but the combos are satisfying to execute.
A few complaints I have are the stupid skill tree system and the tedious "search for X" missions. The meaty part of the game is the story and the fights, and it should try to focus more on that. But overall a great experience!

Maybe this game isn't for me. I spent over 150 hours and I don't get it. Every chore seems tedious, and not fun. My player keeps misclicking stuff, such as pulling out flowers instead of weeds, or digging a hole somewhere else. Don't even get me started on the button mashing fest that is bug catching and fishing. I don't care - stop giving me a wall of text for every single thing I do. I have no clue how people enjoy this game. You need a lot of patience, and I don't have that kind to sink in one game. I kinda started to like my island after those 150 hours, but it is nowhere near what I envisioned, and landscaping/planting/decorating is a time consuming tedious chore.
2014
A rare gamefreak W. This time a massive W. Playing this in 2014 was amazing. I grew up on Gen 3, so this game hit hard. I really love how they included the best of Gen 3 and Gen 6 mechanics. The music still slaps, and the artstyle is just perfect.
I still am baffled by how amazing the Primals and Megas look, no idea why they stopped that.
The Eon Flute is one of the best things GF has done, it made my childhood dream come true. Flying around Hoenn on a Mega Latios/Latias. Younger me wouldn't believe that.
Another thing I still can't believe is the Delta Episode. Not going to spoil anything, but this was amazing postgame stuff and I wish they kept doing it.

3D Mario = Masterpiece. There really isn't much to say. How Nintendo EDP keeps making these games is crazy. Not an ounce of fat, just creativity oozing out. Mario's movements haven't felt as snappy and smooth before. Controlling him feels really good. The level design is, of course, fantastic. And I really love the "Open Zone" nature of the game. Fewer menus, more gameplay!
