Genre: Adventure

Ranges from OK to Pretty Bad. Movement is slippery, combat is floaty & clunky, lacking in impact. Boss design suffers from poor telegraphs and artificial difficulty. I couldn’t get into the art style.

Addresses some of the flaws in the original (map design, enemy variation), but still feels underwhelming and repetitive. If you have soulslike withdrawals it’s worth a shot because it has fun moments.

You play a cat in a robot suit. That should be enough, but the game is actually solid. Simple, funny, full of homages, tight controls and good level design. It’s pretty short, but worth your time.

Some of the most fun platforming around at the time. Loved the art, characters, level design and perhaps more than anything - the music. My cousin deleted my savefile and I haven’t forgiven him decades later.

(Reviewed during alpha.) A modern interpretation of Pokémon as an MMO. Runs extremely well, is pretty adorable and relaxing to play. One to watch as content is added.

Not the most mechanically engaging game, but is elevated to sublime heights by its characters and writing. Moment-to-moment gameplay is visceral & satisfying, sound design is fantastic. Must play.

I played earlier Zelda games and enjoyed them, but didn’t truly appreciate them. My dad got me Wind Waker for my birthday and it was one of the first games that really changed the way I looked at the medium - thanks in no small part, strangely, to it’s cel-shaded visuals. I remember finding it confusing and challenging at first, but really falling in love with it.

A gripping narrative-driven mild-action adventure through a dark vision of 14th century France. Really good voice acting, gorgeous visuals. Can drag a little bit at times, but definitely worth it.

Good looking & kinda fun, but not enough to do considering the size of the world. Most of your time will be spent commuting between repetitive and mostly unrewarding quests.

Great Instadeath platformer with cool graphics, cool music and a surprisingly addictive story. Does a good job of grounding mechanics in the plot. Can be frustrating at times, but overall pretty good.
