Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient

1. Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient

PC. Jan 13-14, <4 Hours Best Part: 「ユーアーデッドペイシェント!!」 Worst Part: Jankiness, length === Was gonna wait until more of this game released (this is only Chapter 1 with an extra little bit) but was looking through my browser bookmarks and went "eh, might as well check it out". It's aight - still pretty much as jank as Blood Drive was, but this time without all the creepy dark (game engine) jumpscares. Got 100% so I guess I'm down for the rest of it, whenever it comes out...

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

2. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Switch. 7 Feb - 13 Mar (Normal), ~12 Hours - 24 Mar (Hero), 20+ Hours Best Part: Ability to use 6 items worth of buttons Worst Part: Too easy. Baby game. === Link's Awakening is my favourite Zelda game (after Okami), but this isn't the remake that I wanted. Not bad, though. However, SUPER disappointed that they removed the Photo guy in exchange for some stupid "zelda dungeon maker" that isn't even good

Monster Hunter Rise

3. Monster Hunter Rise

Switch. 26 Mar - 29 Mar (Village), ~25 Hours - 9 Apr (Hub), 70+ Hours Best Part: Yomogi, Great Sword chaining armored moves together forever Worst Part: Not as deep as World, movement trivialises a lot of monsters === Great, great game. Wirebug mechanics are fun as af, and switch skills make old weapons interesting enough that you're not just doing what you did for the last 3 games. Unfortunately it seems to be taking an MMO patch route where the story isn't finished, at least until the first title update a month after launch? Will update.

Examtaker. GOTY contender.

Guilty Gear -Strive-

NieR Replicant

6. NieR Replicant

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... r[E]bellion

Sonic Mania

7. Sonic Mania

The best sonic game that rehashes old sonic games on the market. Yes I'm a boomer

Doki Doki Literature Club

8. Doki Doki Literature Club

DDLC+, on Switch. 100%. Short review: New content is cool but the changes that had to be made to get the game to work on console (including remaking the game in unity) makes the base experience worse. Stick with the original unless you're already a fan.

Pokémon Unite

9. Pokémon Unite

Switch. Beat Season 1 on Aug 31, hit Ultra rank. Cool toxic game. Haven't touched it since S2 started lmao

SHRIFT
