incredibly engaging and addicting game that captivated me for months on end. i put it down for a couple weeks because i didnt want it to be over just yet, but i'm glad i got around to completing it. i really love the draconification aspects to the game, it blew my mind when i first caught on to it.

theres still stuff i dislike about the game- the music isnt as iconic as past zelda games- better than botw, but still not at the point where it was when skyward sword was released. the way the sage powers work is pretty stupid and annoying, and i spent way too much time trying to upgrade armor because the materials needed are kinda insane.

overall though, i love this game. i don't think i've played anything quite like it that has stuck with me for as long- usually i would not finish a game this long but i felt i needed to out of respect for its existence. i love the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom for the nintendo switch

this is my first experience with splatoon outside of playing like two rounds of splat 1 at a friends house nearly a decade ago (person aging rapidly gif) so take that as you will.

i really like the gameplay loop of splatoon. i'm not very good at it, nor do i really want to put in the effort to be that good at it, but i have fun whenever i turn it on. i never finished the story mode and mostly go in for splatfests and salmon run at this point, but i don't really feel like there's a need for it to be anything else for me personally. maybe because i'm not very competitive or i'm always playing with babies because i haven't been playing this for a decade like some people but i'm never enraged by this silly squid game, i'm just here to paint the ground and laugh at weird usernames

theres obviously problems i have with the game, like how the entirety of salmon run's leveling system works, but as a first-time player in this franchise, i think it's pretty neat.

i was so excited to play the full version of this game after years of remembering how much fun i had with the FIVE USES the demo had when it first came out. i could never justify spending actual money on it, so now that the eshop has closed, i saw my chance. it was pretty fun for a while, i like making outfits and stuff but it gets very repetitive very quickly. it would be nice if you could make whatever outfit you felt like instead of essentially being required to use the style filters to get the best score. i also did not realize how japanese the styles were now that i'm playing it ten years later. i love the harajuku and lolita styles they included alongside the more western style choices
