I'd wanted to play this game for a long time, but copies on the Wii were so expensive and I didn't have a N3DS until recently so I couldn't play it on that. I actually really enjoyed my my time with this game! It has one of the most interesting fictional worlds I've seen in a while, with the entire world taking place on the bodies of two (mostly) dead titans. I did get spoiled on one of the major plot twists a long time ago, but there are parts of this game's story I didn't see coming at all yet make so much sense in retrospective. I played with the volume off a lot of time so I didn't get to hear a lot of the soundtrack until listening to it recently, and it's pretty good also. Games like this where you can explore a huge wide open world are the closest I'll ever get to going on a grand adventure across the globe like I've always wished to, so I have to play as many as possible. Shulk is a really great protagonist and I will defend him until I die. I do wish this game wrote its female characters better though. I haven't gotten around to playing Future Connected yet, but hopefully it'll do more for Melia's character since it felt like her character arc wasn't really finished during the main game to me.

Will I ever get around to playing the sequel? Honestly, I don't know. Mainly because there are some aspects such as the character designs I find kinda off-putting (you probably know which ones I'm talking about) but also I don't really have the energy to put into another 60 hour game at the moment. The third game has caught my attention though, and since it looks like it'll be a bit of a sequel to both Xenoblade 1 and 2 I guess I'll have to get around to it sometime.

One of those games where I have no idea how I didn't play it sooner since it has pretty much everything that appeals to me in a game. That being said I don't really have much to say that hasn't been said already? I love the character designs, the world, the music, everything.... all except the difficulty. I really wish there was an easy / assist mode or something on Switch, because it feels just too punishing sometimes. I've only finished the standard ending, but eventually I wanna go back and get the others as well. 100% completion is a bit unrealistic for me for this game, but maybe someday.

I'm not usually much of a rhythm games person, but this game had caught my eye due to its art style and was on clearance at Gamestop, so I figured why not? It only takes a few hours to beat, but it's definitely one of the games I've thought about most in recent years. Also the soundtrack has been consistently stuck in my head ever since beating it. Glad I got a physical copy since there don't seem to be that many.

I had this game sitting around for a long time, but never really got around to playing it until now. A lot of people seem to dislike the DS Zelda games, and while I can see why I don't agree. This game especially seems to get made fun of, due to the trains being a big part of the story most likely. It's cute, okay, you guys need to lighten up a bit :(

But yeah, I had a lot of fun here! I really like how Zelda is sort of playable, and this version of her definitely has a lot more personality compared to some of her other incarnations. Also it made me laugh how a lot of the character's names are train themed.

Saw a used copy of the Switch version for cheap and felt nostalgic, so I ended up getting it to replay. Back when BOTW first came out I was going through a pretty rough time, to say the least, and for a while playing it on my Wii U was the only reason I even wanted to get out of bed in the morning. It's very special to me because of that, and despite its flaws it'll always have a place in my heart.

I'd worried a bit that I wouldn't like the game as much when going back to it as the newness had worn off, but fortunately that's not the case. I really enjoyed playing this again, if not more so than the first time since I was noticing more little details I hadn't seen until then. I ended up 100% completing it this time; I got all the Koroks, shrines, sidequests, treasure chests, you name it. Did the same for both DLC packs as well. Probably gonna do it again for Master Mode at some point. The game's upcoming sequel definitely has big shoes to fill, but I feel confident we'll be given a worthwile experience. I can't wait for it to come out, whenever that is.

Bought 60 dollar socks from Walmart and they gave me a free game how crazy is that

I'm one of the people who really likes Skyward Sword and thinks that while it's flawed for sure, it's still definitely a good game. This remake fixed some of the original's problems, such as the controls, which is definitely appreciated. I never found Fi all that annoying and like her as a character, but I'm glad she was toned down for other people's sake. Stuff like the constant backtracking from the original game is still there, but I didn't expect them to change that since it's part of the story. I 100% finished this game as well, but I don't really feel the need to do it again on Hero Mode. Maybe if I ever replay again.

Is the game worth 60 dollars? That's really up to you. I'd recommend only getting it used or on sale, since while it is definitely the better version of the game for newcomers, the price definitely feels like a little much. I also wish they hadn't locked the ability to return to the sky whenever you want behind the Loftwing amiibo, but there are bird statues everywhere you look so it doesn't really feel like that much of an issue. I didn't even use the amiibo during my entire playthrough despite owning it, and it feels more like a cool collectors item than anything. It also helps that they printed the hell out of it unlike the other Zelda amiibo so you don't have to worry about scalpers lol

One of the games that defined my childhood for sure, I've played it so many times and never get bored of it. The story, the music, everything... it's one of my top 5 favorite games for sure. The ending still makes me cry hysterically as much as it did when I was nine. This game is popular for a reason, and if you haven't checked it out yet I definitely recommend it. Sky is the ideal version due to the added content, but it's pretty expensive nowadays so Time or Darkness would also be fine. Or just emulate it lol

MAN was this worth the wait. It definitely took a turn from what I was expecting the final game to be like based on Chapter 1, but that's not at all a bad thing. Gave me an excuse to make a self insert OC lmao. It being free was a nice surprise as well. I'm really looking forward to the next chapters, whenever we end up getting them.

Felt a bit stressed out from school and just wanted something silly and light-hearted to relax with. I got the original Miitopia on 3DS to play during a long flight in 2017, and the stranger sitting next to me was watching the whole time so I got stressed out lol. The character creator in this version of the game is a MASSIVE upgrade from the original, it's insane what you can do with this thing. It's almost worth the price for that alone. Aside from that and the horse though it's pretty much the same game. Would love to see a sequel someday. Thief best job forever

Continuing in finally playing all the Zelda games I never got around to. Believe it or not, I got this as a Club Nintendo reward back when that was still a thing, and just never played it until now. This and its sister game, Oracle of Ages, are really underrated in my opinion. Upon beating one, you get a code that you can put into the other game when starting a new file to access certain changes, as well as the game's true ending. This makes them feel like two halves of one story. You can also get passwords for each game from the other once they are linked, which unlock extra items. I wonder what that cancelled third game would have been like.

OOS is really creative in how you get to change the seasons to access different areas. For example, if you need to cross a body of water but can't swim yet, you can change the season to winter so that it freezes over and you can walk to the other side. This was 100% completed as well, and I used a code I found online to play the Linked version despite not beating Ages yet.

Since this game and Oracle of Seasons are so closely related, it only made sense to play it next. I played this one as a Linked Game as well, and also 100% finished it.

This game isn't quite as unique as Seasons in that we've already seen its core mechanic (time travel) in the series before, but it goes about it completely differently. In Ocarina of Time, you could only switch between times from one location, and the difference was only seven years. Oracle of Ages is different in that it allows you to change times from multiple locations, and eventually wherever you want. The difference between the two times is also much more dramatic, seeming to be at least a hundred years, and Link himself remains the same in both times. I'd recommend playing this game second if you want to try the Oracle games, since it's a bit harder. You also can't complete the map if you don't play it as the second part of a Linked Game, as a few tiles are only accessible there.

Another game where I'm surprised I hadn't played it until now. I had waited a long time, but eventually a limited physical edition was announced which I immediately preordered. The level of difficulty here was almost perfect; I only had trouble with a couple fights, but not so much that it felt frustrating. I liked the music a lot as well, and the fact that the game itself discourages tons of grinding with how it starts giving you way less EXP for every fight after you reach a certain level. I understand Leif better than anyone else
