- Really enjoyed this game despite some head scratching over design choices like a really dumb, punishing saving system and no combat lock-on being the two more confusing decisions that come to mind. Not game breaking by any means but just...odd
- Pawn system is awesome. Had so much fun just running to places with my bros
- Favorite part of the game is picking up enemies, or innocent people/pawns, and hurling them over a cliff. Every game needs this ability.
- Second favorite part is the pawns in my party who see me do said cliff hurling and exclaim they've never seen their own master (real person) do that and will inform them of such a strategy. How are these people not throwing everyone off a cliff?

Completed: Dragon's Dogma 2

Completed: Spyro the Dragon (PS1)
- Always impressed with Insomniac's games, especially technically. No exception here
- Very polished for a first game in the series. Excited to see what's really good in 2
- Some levels can be a bit linear
- Will never get over the fact that Officer Garcia from Reno 911 voices Spyro in this one

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (remake)
- Good game. Love the visual style. Really fun battle system.
- Plenty of funny moments and dialogue. Too much of said dialogue though - very long winded
- Most backtracking I've done in a game (I'm constantly backtracking in real life - often confused as to why I entered a room) in recent memory. This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby

Completed: Contra Operation GALUUUUUGA!!!
- Cool title because it sounds like the AWOOOOGA!!! noise from Looney Tunes
- A lot better than I expected. Not because WayForward doesn't make good games but more of a budget thing (despite the credits showing about 50 billion people who worked on this game)
- Should not be 40 dollars. Bought it on sale for 23.99 which seems more like a correct price
- Playing Contra with a health bar feels like cheating sometimes but I don't have the time or patience to play the one-hit death style anymore
- The weapon upgrade system is really cool and I found myself actually using more weapons than just the homing and spread gun
- Perk system was cool too
- Classic Contra shit but made in 2024, what more do you really want?

Completed: Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
- Rented this back in 2012 but didn't care for the open world aspect. Much more forgiving of that now and really enjoyed my time with it
- Nearly every race is exciting. Loved the most wanted list idea
- Tons of cars to unlock so I found myself switching them up quite a bit
- Loved the intro movies for the races and the most wanted cars. Some of the pre-race ones are pretty hilarious

Completed: Astro Bot
- In the words of Mark Cerny describing Astro Bot: Now this is a video game
- One of the best platformers I've ever played therefore it's one of my favorite games I've ever played
- Best looking platformer of all time

Completed: Metal Gear Solid V
- Fire ass game. I was dumb for not getting into it when it came out
- Astounding amount of depth, an unending breadth of options. Loaves, even
- DDog is my best friend

Completed: Spider-Man 2 (PS5)
- Pure video game goodness
- Loved traversing the open world. One of the few games I've played where it's a total joy to get around a giant city
- First game I've ever deliberately platinum'd. I liked it that much

Completed: Bioshock Infinite
- Fun game and most importantly great loading screen music (which I just learned was a Scott Joplin song so that makes sense why it's so good)
- Skyhook is dope
- Incredible setting. We need more floating cities. In real life but also in games too, I guess
- Combat wasn't a high point so I wish there was some variation in how you could handle it
- Good story, good ending

Completed: TES: Skyrim
- Tempted to put Completed in quotes because does anyone really complete Skyrim? I beat the main quest which was good enough for me since I never thought I would actually do that
- I'm a kitty cat with Nightingale armor who kills ANYONE and steals from EVERYONE
- The scope of the game and the amount of content really is staggering
- Time to return to do more side quests, chop some people's fucking heads off and steal every item I'm allowed to steal
