Bafflingly, just like with BOTW, I have no idea how Nintendo pulled this off. The mechanical additions are creative and wildly impressive. Somehow though, as a sequel, it never quite hit me as hard. I was constantly amazed, but sometimes struggled to find or maintain the fun.

It feels lazy to say so, but it really is - in the best way - more of the same but improved. I wish they leaned more into the soulslike aspects, but they understandably want to retain a broader audience. The set pieces are bombastic, combat fun and exploration a bit more rewarding this time around.

Fast and well-polished roguelike that revels in letting the player break the game. Very satisfying and addictive, and even more fun with friends. Great value - just get it.

Starts off small in scope, but somehow just keeps expanding and delighting. Great characters, art, music and satisfying gameplay loop/s. Constantly surprising and funny.

I’m very bad at & never really liked driving games, but this is fun. Arcadey, but lots of depth and customisation for those interested. The open world approach is super cool, and there’s lots to do.

A simplified and more arcadey MH:W. Combat feels a bit more dynamic, navigation and traversal is easier/better, story is still mediocre. A good port considering its origins, and a pretty good game.

Fun and creative little puzzle game with great art - perhaps shorter than some would like, but a cool game exploring its base concept nicely nonetheless.

Almost impenetrably opaque to begin with, but if you can stick with the overwhelming UI & novel concept, it’s phenomenally creative and impressive. Super expressive, crazy-high skill ceiling. Awesome.

Another wonderful, creative & clever game from a solo dev. An addictive autobattler with tonnes of replayability. Quick to get started, but lots of depth to explore. A must play for fans of the genre.

A lot of Nioh buildcrafting stuff has been simplified, some new stuff has been added. Morale system is clever, forcing further exploration. Combat is very satisfying. Story is passable. Good game.
