this was brainrot for me as a kid, played it again as an adult and it still hooked me because this is crack

if you think any of the newer games have bullshit catchup mechanics i dare you to play this as an infant

basically the perfect RPG. Some broken character combos here and there - but has a fun story.

elden ring will always be fun, but the new overworld is ridiculously complex to navigate for no reason, and the final boss is probably FromSoft's worst designed boss ever. I've 100%'d every Souls game, beat every boss. I even beat Inner Isshin on NG+7, which was 1000% more fair than this one.

There are still many fun bosses in this, but there are plenty of weird empty spots around the map where in the original you'd expect to find an invader, a dungeon, an item, or something of the sort.

puzzles were awesome but i have no idea how people find these stagnant emotionless robots interesting characters. voice actors just sounded like the devs and was not invested whatsoever. not saying you needy Mickey and Goofy but like i inevitably ended up muting the dialogue because it was just so mundane I'd literally rather listen to nothing

good, dropped a bucket on a homeless man's head and he died

Competitive mario kart w/ firehopping

speed levels were great. monster levels (and subsequent story) were so laughably terrible that it belongs in a museum dedicated to dogshit

conflicted whether to rate this 5 stars or half a star. The release of Payday 3 and the atrocities committed to this game after the fact is borderline a war crime and fuck Starbreeze and whoever else is responsible for that

feels empty in a LOT of places

its one of those games you need to play without watching any gameplay of, otherwise its gonna be a bit boring.

a bit repetitive and long to get the things you need, and multiplayer doesn't feel as friendly as it does in other games, but still great

sure its great. had to put it down because im used to 270hz gameplay, and I can handle 60hz, even 30hz. but this shit feels like im playing on an Atari.

was okay. satisfied the "jump high and land hard" itch

extremely good game, got my first "nuke" in this game. Wii was plagued with cheaters unfortunately but was still charming and fun
