I mostly stuck to my objective to only play with a controller. I also crossed out three games off my Tag Challenge.
This game is a superb fighter brimming with content! 28 beautifully animated characters, an extensive fully-dubbed VN-style story mode (which took me over 25 hours to complete), an in-game encyclopedia and much much more. Full review
Perfect companion to the main Wanderlust game, this story is shorter but a little less linear. It plays exactly the same but I felt my choices had more weight this time around. The writing is still great and so are the music and photos. Full review
A phenomenal experience in so many ways, I adore the core mechanic of getting inspiration from discoveries or relaxing experiences like tea-drinking and exploration is wonderfully done. However, Eastshade is resource-intensive. Full review
A great evolution but the rubber-banding sometimes spoils the fun. The high track count and their great design make it the meatiest version so far. I also really like the new items as you can finally defend yourself against the homing blue shells.
This game if very good for anyone interested in the occult, the Cthulhu mythos as well as dark and mysterious places. It does a good job of translating H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror but lacks the sense of loneliness in keeping insanity away. Full review
A very nice throwback to 90s gaming. There's much to love about this game and the easy difficulty setting (not so easy though) for those, like me, who only enjoy dying over and over for a little while. Full review
A game which starts off very well but eventually tries too hard to be badass. I enjoyed running up walls and jumping from building to building but the game is very uneven in many ways. The difficulty is all over the place and the story felt uninspired. Full review
