Played on stream.
Game's really easy and then immediately ridiculously hard. Parts in the late game were insanely frustrating because platforming is such a challenge due to the camera. While I feel like this game is pretty advanced and impressive for it's time it's definitely not perfect.

Absolutely beautiful presentation, very fun game until it gets stupidly hard at the end.

I must say this is a pretty scumbag move, I know this shit came out like 4 years ago but it sunk in as I was playing it at work not on Wi-Fi that 80% of this game's content requires you to now be an NSO subscriber, whereas the original iteration did not. Nintendo's online was still free in the Wii U era, and this edition of the game didn't really add enough to constitute an entirely new release, I feel this was only made to get people to bite on NSO.
This game has a story mode which is why I'm considering it beaten, it's fine, it's just about 100 little levels made by Nintendo devs using the creator tools. It's a bit of a fun, the difficulty is such that you may fail two or three times but not bad enough that it'll make you want to give up. It's a supplementary experience for those who don't have NSO or aren't near a Wi-Fi I guess.

Pokémon Violet - Nintendo Switch

Everyone on Earth is saying the same thing as if they have a unique opinion but it's true -- performance issues aside this is maybe the best ever Pokemon game.

Mega Man Battle Network - Game Boy Advance

Played a few of these games on emulators as a kid (mostly #5) but again, never actually completed one. I love these games, this was very fun but I know the sequels add a lot of depth, just dunno how deep I wanna go right now.

Couldn't beat this game as a kid, did it with the support of my friend Matt, not letting me give up. What an accomplishment this felt like, makes me want to do the rest I couldn't before.

Onimusha: Warlords - PlayStation 2

Basically Resident Evil with fun sword combat. Short and satisfying experience, pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in a single player game.

Knights of the Round - Super famicom and SNES

A very okay Capcom beat em up. Not boring by any means but they definitely had a formula in this era and just kind of reskinned it. It is a fun time, but also horribly frustrating if you were paying actual money to play it.

Tetris Effect: Connected - Xbox One
November 21st, 2020
It's just the best. You forget how great Tetris is cause it's been around forever, but Enhance gives it that Rez / Child of Eden treatment which is just my favorite thing, and it makes you see the whole world's beauty in something you're so used to. At the end of the day Tetris is never not fun, and this game is beautiful.

Finally beat World of Light. I thought it was absolute shit at first but I guess I kind of came around? I was having fun at the end but as you can see it took me 2 years to finally beat this so... Can't recommend the single player.
