I have no idea what property this game is based on but it doesn't really matter.Record of Lodoss War is an anime based on some novels based on some guy's DnD campaign I wasn't familiar with any of it so the plot of the game was a lil lost on me. It's a solid metroidvania, but unfortunately kinda short and forgettable. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/19/22 12:57:50 PM #39 | Mr_Crispy posted... I think I heard people say that gold isn't pooled so actually going to vendors and buying stuff is a painThis feels like a bigger pain than it actually is in practice. Weapons don't permanently break in FE4 so you don't end up buying things from shops much at all. A lot of the missing QOL stuff is like this -- it feels inconvenient but only if you're playing FE4 like FE7, when you should be playing FE4 like FE4. That said the first 2 or 3 chapters do have a ridiculous amount of slowly marching units through shitty terrain that only exists to waste your time. That part is pretty indefensible. And of course everything from that era is missing some modern QOL improvements. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/19/22 2:36:24 AM #12 | Blue Fire (PS4) This game fucks. It's sorta like if Wind Waker was actually Hollow Knight. Blue Fire is just fun to move around in, which is probably the highest compliment I can give a platformer. It's super fast but never unwieldy, and it gives you tons of options for varying your number and height of jumps and dashes, then basically just says "go nuts". There are very few true out-of-bounds areas or invisible walls so the platforming is very free form, and this also means you can get some upgrades earlier than they presumably wanted you to. The combat isn't great and I honestly kind of wish the game was longer. It was about 11.5 hours for me to 100% without the DLC, which I'm still working on. It also has a bad case of Mario Sunshine Camera in its self-contained platformer challenges, where the challenge would be significantly easier if the camera would just fuck off and give you a reasonable viewing angle of both where you are and where you're jumping to, but this game's platforming is much, much better than Sunshine's so it doesn't feel nearly as game-breaking. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/19/22 2:17:15 AM #35 | 6 is good. It's basically like 7 and 8 but significantly harder. People like 5 a lot too but I can't vouch for that one, only mainline game I haven't played some version of. It's an interquel/side story for FE4 and arguably the hardest game in the series. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/18/22 9:48:32 PM #27 | Shadow Dragon is like the opposite of Echoes: good gameplay but it looks terrible. New Mystery/FE12 is an improvement all around (still kinda ugly though) and is one of my favorite games in the series. Real shame it never got officially localized. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/18/22 9:46:30 AM #333 | I was let down by Metroid Dread too, though I think for mostly different reasons than you. I thought it was an "OK" janky 2D action game but there was absolutely nothing there for me as a Metroid fan. I found the controls and combat to be really bad (though marked improvements on Samus Returns, which was borderline unplayable for me). The level design was off the charts awful, both to look at and to play, at least until I accepted that I'd just let it funnel me wherever and never try to leave the beaten path or backtrack for any reason. Also, cut the EMMI stealth sections from the game entirely please, those were meritless. I did like the boss fights (until they would spring a cutscene QTE on you -- is this 2005??) and the plot was, uh, enjoyable to mock I guess. Would be a little impressed if this was a new franchise from a one man team or something, but frankly I'm more likely to pick up Other M 2 than another Metroid from this dev. All four other games you found disappointing are games I've considered buying multiple times, so that's a bit worrying! The characters' mundane problems in Coffee Talk sound fine to me, but you're not making the writing itself sound interesting enough to support it. VAL-HALL-A or whatever is probably more my speed anyway since I'm more a bar than coffee shop person, and I'll probably try Transiruby at some point as mediocre Metroidvanias are almost all I play right now. I'd encourage giving Lenna's Inception another shot! Without spoiling it, I don't remember any real creepypasta stuff in that game. Yeah there's glitches intruding on the game world but it's part of the gameplay and story, not used for creepiness really. Undertale neutral route would be a good comparison I think, where it can be subversive but it's not really trying to scare you. Also you can get a librarian as your familiar, which rules. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/16/22 1:32:35 PM #170 | Fates is fine. It fits their trend of one-word subtitles based on vibes. Awakening, Fates, Echoes. All decent. The vanilla ice cream of titles. Three Houses is bad but the original title is, like, untranslatable. It at least tells you roughly what you're going to get: feuding houses, and there are three of them. It's fine. Genealogy of the Holy War is a great title. The only way it could be better is if it was Engage sounds like a pun in the title of a softcore anime porn game.
