Nexomon (Switch)

Fun little Pokmon clone for ten bucks. Impressive how many Nexomon there are to catch considering the size of the game. Extinction is probably better, but I haven't played it yet. Of course, it's quite simplistic overall, but I had an enjoyable 20 hours with it.

Final team:
Torrex, Carnagrius, Draclone, Corozard, Jeeta, Blizloo

The Great Ace Attorney (Switch)

Just finished the first game of the two. Overall, I loved the presentation and atmosphere, and many of the characters are wonderful in this one. However, I'm happy there's a second game to continue the story and I hope it delivers, because this game on its own I found one of the weaker ones. It's missing some oomph, and only the final case actually feels like a full Ace Attorney case. It's clear this game was made with a sequel in mind and is created around that, so I'll play the sequel first before I evaluate this one further.

Final Fantasy V (GBA)

One of the very few games I had still left on my GBA backlog, but after about 15 years in my possession I finally beat the game, right after I beat FFIX less than a week ago!

I couldn't get into this one for a long time and it didn't get easier after playing through the entire Bravely series plus Final Fantasy III basically in a row last fall/winter, with FFV being yet another game with the job system, so I played this one on and off. However, I went on a bit of a marathon the last few days, especially today, to finally finish it. It's a great game, the job system inherently makes this one of the better Final Fantasy titles in terms of gameplay, but there were a lot of times where I felt a little bored as well, either from it being tedious or feeling uneventful. The story became more interesting after the first part while still keeping that lighthearted tone, which was nice to see. And as always in these job-system games, you can get stupidly overpowered at the end and it's always fun to arrive at that point. I absolutely smashed the final few bosses and I love that. Nevertheless, because I had already played those Bravely games, Final Fantasy V wasn't as impressive or exciting to me anymore, even though it came first of course. I think the charm, homages, little jokes and easter eggs are the best things about it. Overall, I think it's going to be a mid tier FF for me, around FFIV (which was the opposite of FFV in terms of its strengths and weaknesses), but I still have II, VI, VII and VIII left to play/beat.

Final Fantasy IX (PS4)

Another Final Fantasy game played and beaten after I, III (DS), IV, X, X-2, XII, XIII and XV. Still have quite a few left (am some way into V and have gotten similarly far into VI in the past), and while I may not play all of them in the end, there are still a few bucket list titles remaining (mainly VI).

Anyway, I already owned FFIX on PS3, but found it unbearably slow. The PS4 enhancements made it a faaaar less tedious experience and overall it's a fantastic Final Fantasy. Battles and animations still feel slow, especially magic, summons and Trance, but at least I can speed it up now. There were moments I found the gameplay itself quite unappealing, but it's still manageable.

It's not at the top for me, but this game comes together as something larger than the sum of its parts. I was still teary-eyed at the final cutscenes. I love how these characters are not your typical, grandiose exaggerations, but relatable, showing both the joys and hardships of life but in a subtle way. You can see their humanity aside from their assigned roles and character tropes. The little ATE's really helped to convey that as well. I felt FFIX was at its best when it was keeping things small. Basically, it was very cute. Also, the cutscenes were amazing and delivered at precisely the right moments. And the theme for Terra, Dark Messenger and Melodies of Life give me absolute chills.

Hexcells (PC)

Don't even know if you can count this as a beaten game, but hey. It was a video game, and I beat it. Very fun puzzle concept and atmospheric music, but I did everything in about 1,5-2 hours. That was very, very short and fairly easy too. Fortunately, it only cost 3 euros and there are two more games, because it is a lot of fun. I feel like you're supposed to play all three games, because a large portion of this one was also tutorial levels.

Picross 3D Round 2 (3DS)

I loved me some Picross 3D on the DS and didn't even know this sequel existed until recently. For 20 euros I definitely had to buy it and it gave me 60 hours of relaxation, slight frustration and most of all; tons of fun. I beat all the puzzles on Hard from the start, for me that was the best experience because this game has a lot of small and easy filler puzzles (even on Hard). The final one was massive. I liked the blue and orange distinction a lot, it definitely gave the game another major logic element to work around. Some puzzles felt like guessing the shape was actually part of the puzzle rather than just pure numerical logic. Not sure if that's the case, but it almost always worked anyway. Sometimes the puzzles got too big and my brain glitched out, so I ended up pressing the wrong colour or the hammer button when I actually meant to press something else, and the absolute mass of numbers in the bigger puzzles sometimes made it difficult to distinguish grayed out numbers and circles/squares. But these are all minor nitpicks, because I already miss my go-to game for chillout moments and train rides. I wouldn't mind another game like this in the future at all.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (3DS)

Well, I just beat the main game and didn't touch the extra content. Had already beaten this on the GBA soon after its release and loved it, so I decided on a whim to revisit the game through this remake and I have to say I really liked the art style. Very smooth, but still colorful. Controls beautifully. I blazed through it in less than 20 hours, it's short but it feels like a proper adventure nevertheless.

Upon replaying it I do see some flaws that I didn't notice before, like some rushed parts and main story progression coming in the form one-off minigames, but the overall experience is still so much fun!

Mega Man ZX Advent (Switch)

And that completes the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection! Four games I had not played before, and two I did (Zero 1 and ZX), so overall it was very much worth the price. ZX Advent was the last one I still needed to beat and overall, it's probably in my bottom two from this collection together with Zero 4. For some reason, I couldn't appreciate this one as much as I wanted to, even if it's still a good game. I did not like the harder stages in combination with ZX's world structure, even though this one isn't quite as open. Some of the stages bordered more on being frustrating than being a fun challenge in terms of traps, often instant death, that you can't really see until it's too late. Bosses were diverse and challenging, so that was good. The final boss seemed weirdly easy considering how brutal some final bosses in this Zero/ZX series have been, but oh well. The forms, although numerous, weren't great though imo. They felt more like tools you find in Metroidvania's to uncover hidden stuff than boss powers like it should be in Mega Man. Also, oh my god, stop transforming back to model A every single time text appears. Nevertheless, a good game. The only main games I have yet to beat are X5-X8, but I don't think that's every going to happen. Maaaaybe X8 at some point, or I might finish up the final stages of X5, but X6 and X7 are both just hopeless games.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (PS4)

Wow. What a sequel. This one goes even deeper than the first. The second half is quite epic. I do prefer the atmosphere of the first game though, and I feel like a lot of stuff still wasn't really explained enough at the end, mainly 3 things; "The Ultimate Imposter", the very similar situations and trials compared to the first one and Nagito Komaeda knowing way too much way before he discovered the "Remnants of Despair" stuff in Chapter 4. Maybe I just missed stuff myself. Nevertheless, that final chapter was delicious. The game was one truly meta experience. Very much looking forward to V3, but I'm going to take a little break after playing 1 and 2 consecutively.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS)

Finally, after 10 years of owning this game, I finally beat it, including the extra chapter. That part wasn't as long or difficult as I expected it to be, so it was fine even though it doesn't change much. Overall, really nice Dragon Quest title, charming and classic as always and very impressive considering this was originally on the NES. Some of it is a little archaic, but in general its aged roots are disguised pretty well in this version. Whack and some RNG stuff can just bugger off though. A nice, if simple, story, plenty to explore, some interesting bosses and especially a pretty epic final boss (talking about Psaro here, not Aamon). Not a real standout game anymore these days, but it was a very solid and relaxing jrpg.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (PS4)

I have been obsessed with this game the past week or two. It's just insane. I didn't care for it the first time I tried it, as I was hoping for another Ace Attorney and it really isn't that similar in most ways. It's really out there, quite ridiculous and is fairly slow initially. And then you just get into it and it unravels and you ride it out at max speed without noticing. I think the gameplay actually isn't great, the "cases" are exposed to you without having to think much and many characters are quite extreme and stereotypical. And yet, this game just completely absorbed me. The mysterious setting, being stuck with a small group of (admittedly silly) people, the incredible music and just the ridiculously dark atmosphere were just so mesmerising I was glued to the screen. In the end I just didn't care about faults, imperfections, logical fallacies or exposition. For the hours spent playing this, the real world stopped existing for a while. I absolutely loved it, it's not a 10/10 game, but easily my favourite game of the year so far.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (3DS)

I post so much here lol, thanks to all these short games. This is a game from my backlog I played because I let a random number generator decide and this one came out of it. Fortunately, it's a game easily beaten in less than two hours, which is what I did. I have played this in the past, a long time ago, but I hadn't beaten it on my 3DS before now. I had one golden coin when I stopped last time, so I finished up the rest. I love how weird this game is, and while it's very slow, it controls remarkably well. It's certainly very easy and the level design almost feels like it's from a fangame, but I do like the weird themes and the fact that levels have so many paths to choose, even thought it matters little outside of maybe a few coins, an extra life or a powerup. Nice, nostalgic "trip" (if you catch my drift).

Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury (Switch)

Now I've beaten every single 3D Mario game! I didn't do 3D World's post game worlds yet (I did get every green star, stamp and golden flag pole in the main worlds), and I beat BF but have 70/100 Cat Shines (I did play on and get more Shines after the "story" though, when I had 50). However, I consider both to be mostly content to play when I feel like it and classify it as "beaten" to move on to different games.

Overall, tons of fun and charm again. 3D World was great, but not my favorite 3D Mario game. I thought it would be more creative than I felt it really was, because I felt like most ideas were already in Galaxy and 3D Land. Sometimes the way you move around in the game + the camera made it easy to make annoying jumping mistakes (I agree with complaints about depth perception here) and it felt a little uncomfortable at times compared to some of the other games. Still, super colorful, fun to play, solid controls most of the time and plenty of good levels.

Bowser's Fury was quite nice, I have to say. I tought it would be an afterthought, and in the end it is very short and simple, but this could be worked out into something amazing. Very addictive, and this does feel like what an open world Mario game would be like; basically one big Mario playground. All kinds of Mario's staple elements combined in one big area to play in. In BF I still found a lot of it to feel too segmented to really feel open world, but it's a great concept. It was really fun and I beat it in one sitting (and got 20 more shines afterwards).

Mega Man ZX (Switch)

I had already played and beaten this on DS before, but now also as part of the Zero/ZX collection. It definitely brought back memories as it was the first Mega Man game I bought for myself (before that I used to play my brother's Mega Man 4 on NES over and over, but that was the only one he had), and it's fun. I was, however, less tolerant of its sort of Metroidvania-like structure this time around. I like that genre a lot, but in a Mega Man game it felt a bit like a pace killer. Also, getting level 4 victories over some of the Pseudodroids was rather unforgiving as it's almost impossible to not hit the biometal and two of the subtanks were locked behind stupid design (one by doing the same uninteresting subquests multiple times in repeated trips through the rather slow Area L, and the one in Area K that you'd probably never really figure out without looking it up as it's behind a series of actions at certain moments in the level in a room with a constant death trap).

So in hindsight, not my favorite of this collection, but I still love the nostalgia I feel for it. Now only ZX Advent awaits (one I've never played outside of the first level or something), but I'm not sure how much I'm going to like that one.

Octopath Traveler (Switch)

Finally finished this one. Or at least, I consider it finished. Technically, I haven't beaten Galdera or the boss rush before it, but I know what it's about and I have reached the dungeon at least. That part of the story doesn't seem overly exciting anyway, and it's just way too tedious to do it without being able to save anywhere in between. So I'm calling it quits on this game. It was mostly a great game with some charming stories and a very enjoyable battle system. Very chill game to play, for some reason. That being said, I did think it was inconsistent in how interesting it stayed here and there, not helped by the fact that it's on the long side as well. The part after all 8 characters' fourth chapters is not done well imo. Overall, charming is the word I'd use to describe this game, and I'm happy I've experienced it, but I don't think it's a must-play. The music and art style are phenomenal though.

Mega Man Zero 4 (Switch)

And that completes the Zero series! This one is probably my least favourite, even though it's better than 1. Stage design was often fairly dull or repetitive. Bosses were interesting, and more complex, but also slower to fight and a mixed bag in terms of difficulty (some extremely easy, others unforgiving with some of their attacks patterns or abilities). This one felt more like an X game in many ways. The trailers were a very lame base and I didn't enjoy the story in this one either. Oh well, it's still solid. Overall I think I enjoyed it 3>2>1>4, but quality-wise it's probably more like 3>2>4>1 (and even 4>2 wouldn't be a weird choice). Now I have ZX and ZX Advent left, and I have beaten and enjoyed ZX before.

Mega Man Zero 3 (Switch)

Ohhh yes. First time I've ever played Zero 3 and it's easily the best one so far. I was actually interested in a Mega Man story here, the Cyber Elf system is much more forgiving, plenty of unique stages that also tie in great with the story and it's also the longest MMZ game yet. I feel like this is basically a perfect Mega Man title. Bosses were fun as well (final bosses were really cool compared to MMZ2) although I felt some weren't balanced that well and their attack animations were too quick to read them and learn a pattern. Nevertheless, best MMZ yet. Now unto MMZ4!

Mega Man Zero 2 (Switch)

Wow, didn't expect to beat this already today, but that's how short it was. Another fine game, but it's barely different from MMZ, in fact it recycles a lot of elements (even bosses and boss weaknesses). Then again, Mega Man games have done this every single time. I do like that it's a little more forgiving (not necessarily easier) and that it's easier to use elves. The stages are also a bit longer than MMZ1's. Final boss was definitely easier though. Overall, it was a fraction better than Z1 (mostly due to the QoL changes), but again, the difference is small. Excited to see what Zero 3 will bring.

Mega Man Zero (Switch)

Beat this in a day. Already beat it before the normal way, but now I beat it again on the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection with save assist on. That definitely helped a lot to make it less tedious, because there is so much trial and error and stuff flying in your screen in attack mode. Boss patterns can be very tricky so with the normal lives system it was quite frustrating. This way it was more fun for me (although I'm sure some people will consider it lame to use save assist). It does kind of make the stages a joke since you have so many checkpoints, but whatever. MMZ at the very least is so much more fun when it comes to boss battles vs. the stages imo that it didn't bother me.

Now onto MMZ2!

Bravely Default II (Switch)

Well, that was a game. It took me around 65 hours to do everything. What I liked about it were Chapter 3 and the fact that for once I managed to figure out overpowered Job/Active Ability/Passive Ability combo's by myself instead of happening upon them online, trivialising any remaining Asterisk group rebattles and the final boss. Other than that, overall a very meh game. Story, characters and worldbuilding were mostly bland and very underdeveloped. Weird exclusion of many quality of life elements that made the other two entries so playable. Sidequests were really lame most of the time. I don't know. I enjoyed my time with it, but I wouldn't say it's great, probably the weakest Bravely game for me personally. Game was clearly unfinished in a lot of ways despite being a fairly long experience nevertheless. The towns look pretty though, and some of the music is nice (not any track related to Wiswald though).

Yo-kai Watch (3DS)

Well, that was short. That's all right though, it is very charming and the combat is fun and interactive, but the rate of befriending Yo-kai is annoyingly low (even with the ways you can increase it), so testing out different yokai was kind of difficult and the sidequests are underwhelming (and some require that low befriending rate to work). Not sure if I'll play the other two in the series, but as they're considered better, it might be worth it considering the foundation they laid in the game is really good.

I could go and do the post-game, and I may check that out later.

Very satisfied with this one and I've heard that the third one is even better still.
That's questionable, expect a slightly more unbalanced experience with some worse level designs here and there, and a few annoying minigames, but the best parts of Year of the Dragon are as good as 2.

Story-wise, they're not worth it. However, I'd definitely say Conquest is worth it as a game. You sometimes have to solve tricky puzzles to solve the maps. Really fun gameplay and lots of different map objectives. A lot of its maps are definitely more creative and experimental than what Awakening, Birthright, SoV (that one is forgiven I suppose) and Three Houses offer.

Birthright is really boring however (its story is really vanilla and so are most of the maps) and Revelation is mostly tedious by taking Conquest's map gimmicks and then just overdoing it.

So I'd say; go for Conquest expecting a pretty tough but satisfying game with a nonsensical story (but more engaging than BR's because it's so stupid it becomes funny), and if you must, see how things are supposed to wrap up in Revelation.

Yoku's Island Express (Switch)

I think I bought this game sometime during Spring last year, probably April. I generally just played it a little bit occasionally, but I was at 26% until a couple of days ago, when I picked it up again and got quite into it. I beat the game with 70% on my file, so I didn't quite find everything but still did a good amouny of side stuff. Really fun and beautiful game with a mix of genres, incredibly charming as well. Sometimes moving around through some pinball sections got a bit tedious, but I found it incredibly clever how they created this game world entirely with those pinball mechanics, very impressive!

Bravely Second: End Layer (3DS)

This was one was pretty good as well. However, I felt virtually no connection to the characters or story, and the amount of (sometimes overly lengthy) conversations about food stopped being funny at some point. The gameplay is better than Default with many more jobs as well, but I thought Default's system was already good enough that the improvements weren't enough to offset my lack of real interest in the story and characters most of the time.

Still, a good game. I'm happy I beat it now, because I do want to play Bravely Default II in a month and now I'm up to speed with the series.

Just beat Claude's route. Dimitri's/Azure Moon was my first playthrough and I still have to play CF/SS (but I may never do that). Overall I thought this route was better than AM and delves much deeper into the actual lore. I'm fatigued by the game by this point however, it's a fantastic game but it's definitely quite slow. Maaaaaybe I'll still do Crimson Flower as it's shorter, but not for a good while yet.

I'm, surprisingly, enjoying FF3 on DS right now. I've had it for 14 years, but never quite finished it because I found it to be so archaic and slow. But for some reason, I'm actually enjoying it this time around and got much further than I ever did in the past. I couldn't get into neither FFIII nor FFV for some reason, but since playing Bravely Default recently I am really into these job system games. I'm probably more patient with FFIII than I was in the past as well and my partner has played it, so we can talk about the game, which really helps too.

Dragon Quest IX was the most disappointing one, that game deserved a better soundtrack than it got.

Least favorite of any serious games I've played...usually I find most soundtracks pretty good, maybe forgettable at worst. I don't know of many instances where a soundtrack was all around weak. I didn't like Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack much, some tracks were good but it sure did try to sound dissonant a lot, didn't work for me despite the game's title.

Maybe not the kind of dog you'd generally think of first, but for me definitely the Newfoundland. Sweet, big, loyal, deep bark and lots of drool. The quintessential dog in my eyes.

Ace Attorney (especially the first three), logically, as they're visial novels. But other than that, I always wanted to swipe Paper Mario: TTYD from my memory and replay it. Doesn't matter as much nowadays, though.

Wow, I don't even care for Majora's Mask and even I think that's a terrible first elimination. I had checked the poll results not that long ago on the first one and that is not what was going to be eliminated.
These contests are just a show. Somehow, in literally every one of these, there are multiple miraculous comebacks at the last second, vote totals that rarely exist anymore and a winner of 5 rounds very often suddenly becomes last in the next round. It never feels natural. And I don't care about MM either.

Voted Paper Mario, for what it's worth.

Ah, yes, people's need for "revenge". They make an animal's killing into a human one, with intention and premeditation, requiring the death penalty.

How is this even a poll? If you want to, you know, not die, it helps not doing stupid activities like rodeo/bull fighting/hugging polar bears/kissing cobra's. Of course the bull will instinctively attack and sometimes kill.

20/20, and I'm not a native speaker. To be honest, those verb/grammar questions were simple because you can use the same trick every single time. Had there been contructions like "it had been showing in Frankfurt before..." or something like that, it would have been more difficult. Now it just came down to "to be + verb" or just "verb".
