Sorry, but the boost formula will never capture the same spirit as the Adventure games for me. I definitely see the appeal and it's fun in its own way, but it doesn't evoke the same feelings.

I'd finish the fight any day with you, Chief.

Going from Double Dash to this is like going from a gourmet meal to a burger you found in a McDonald's dumpster

My first, and so far only foray into the Fire Emblem series. Needless to say I really loved it. But holy fuck the visuals are terrible and there's a serious lack of diversity in locations.

Ugly as sin but fun as hell.

It warms my heart to know that Japan is still making simple, medieval fantasy RPGs with no fancy bells and whistles. Just a good ol' fashioned fun time; it has a humble, retro feel with a modern coat of paint and level of polish.

Of course you'll want to play the Definitive Edition because it has some neat extra features (like being able to play the entire game in classic 16-bit style) and the orchestrated soundtrack. Even though this was originally made for the PS4 I thought it looked fantastic on my Switch. Such a damn good port.

Sonic Forces me to beat the game in 3 hours.

2017

Easily one of my favourite indie games.

I waited so long for a sequel to Mirror's Edge. They made it open world and yet you run through the exact same locations over and over and over and over and over. If we ever get a third game, please go back to the old level design.

God, I suck at arcade fighters. I just wanted a game where I could play as Wonder Woman.

I really don't get the appeal of this series.

What's that? A vast, open-world Conan game, complete with all of the tits and blood intact? Sign me up!

Oh....it's a mediocre Minecraft clone?

I really can't stand the dungeon crawling in this one. P5 spoiled me.

The ultimate Hitman experience. But it still suffers from the stupid DRM shit that has plagued this entire trilogy.

An underrated little gem of a game, but I think the hardcore fans have been overselling it. It's unique but nothing mind-blowing.
