| SpoinkRulezz 06/21/19 6:43:51 PM #14 | Since beating Ys VIII I have been hopping between a couple of games that I don't feel like sinking much time into. I have alternated between Pokemon Let's GO Eevee, Pokemon Ultra Sun, Nioh, Kingdom Hearts 2 FM, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and more actually, none of which keep my attention for very long right now. There are big games like Breath of the Wild and The Witcher 3 I should still play, but due to their open world structure, which isn't my personal favorite I realised after trying a few, it's difficult for me to get into them. And there are a few more games I have lying around but haven't felt like committing to yet. I bought Bloodstained and I would definitely have gotten into that (played 2 hours before the 1.02 patch and loved it), but I want to wait playing until 505 have released enough patches for a smoother experience. I guess it's just that everything now feels slightly tiresome to play after the incredible smoothness and pace of Ys VIII. That game was just the definition of playing comfort. Maybe I should take a break for a while. :p Not very inspired right now, but Ys VIII was a total surprise as well so something else will surely come along again. --- |

I got everything I could get in the game and I'm going to do the post-game dungeon and a few optional raids/hunts as well. I always have some feeling of boredom or tedium at some point in every game, but I just didn't get that here for one second. I could boot it up for 30-60 minutes and enjoy it and get stuff done, but most of my recent sessions I just got lost in it for hours on end. So happy I bought this, having never played an Ys game before. --- |

| SpoinkRulezz 04/15/19 5:15:23 PM #237 | Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (PS4) Beat the main story, did a bit of side content but not that much during the main game (to be honest, that all seemed rather hidden). Overall, a good Tales game. Has all the good and iffier elements of the series, but probably more of the good stuff. However, I feel a bit done with Tales of games for a while. Nothing has topped Symphonia for me yet because they all deliver basically the same kind of experience (unsurprisingly, the series likes its staples) and Symphonia was of course my first Tales game. I do think I like Vesperia more than Xillia, but it may be equal to or just below Abyss for me. I may finish Berseria in the future as well, that one was also good as far as I've played it. --- |

| SpoinkRulezz 02/10/19 4:35:55 PM #120 | New Super Mario Bros. U (NS) I decided not to count the entire Deluxe version as well because I haven't gone through Super Luigi U yet, so I just beat the Switch version of NSMBU. Beat all the levels, including secret levels, except for the Star Road levels. Haven't gotten all star coins yet either, I just kind of went through the levels trying to find them if I could but not bother always looking for every one of them. I might do that at some point, but now it's time for some other games again (including continuing Tales of Vesperia). Overall, a good 2D Mario game. It looks nice and sharp, the overworld does make it all a bit nicer as well, gives you the feeling of progress a little more. The inclusion of secret exits is cool, and a few of them even lead to secret levels which is nice. The Acorn is also a little less overpowered than the other flying powerups of the series, which I think is a good thing, but sometimes I actually found the wall-sticking to be more annoying than helpful. Still overall one of the easier Mario games. All the challenge comes from getting all the Star Coins (and I mean all, most of them aren't difficult to get either), if you just go to the end of the level, I don't really remember any difficult ones, even in the later worlds. And it has to be said, originality one shall not find in this one. All the Mushroom Kingdom tropes are there and that's it. At least naming every level makes them a little more memorable this time. I did like Soda Jungle a lot, that was definitely the best world imo. --- |

| SpoinkRulezz 01/05/19 6:54:30 PM #17 | Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (NS) I kinda bought this on a whim recently and what a great purchase it turned out to be. So much fun! Very little nonsense, pure gameplay and good difficulty balance between just finishing a level and completing it. Lots of level variety and dealing with the various stage gimmicks had a nice curve in difficulty as the game progressed. It looks beautiful and has a very catchy soundtrack as well. Definitely a bit of a hidden gem. It's still Nintendo so hidden is a strong word, but it's absolutely more than just a quick little minigame cash in. PS. I haven't beaten all the bonus stages yet, only the first. So technically it's maybe not really beat yet, but oh well. I'm actually happy there's more to do, I'll savor what's left. I did fully complete the rest of the books. --- |
