Jan.27 Neat game that I tried because of the wii shop closure, wish I didn't miss out on playing this online.
Feb.12 Absolutely my favorite rockstar game they really nailed the atmosphere, characters, and story for this one. A lot of dated gameplay mechanics are still present and they need to be changed for their next game but this game still feels incredible and is gorgeous. a few quick bullets of things I loved -Arthur -Hunting -Soundtrack -Sadie Adler seriously the hunting though I probably spent 20-30 hours just doing that wheres the next good hunting game.
Feb.13 Crazy murder mystery at sea with some fantastical plot points. The style this game goes for is done perfectly and never hurts even when playing for long periods, some of the things done for particle effects look fantastic. this game made me feel like a genius when I was on a roll and an idiot when I couldn't solve some of the easy challenge rating seamen. great game
Feb.14 Had a huge smile on my face the whole time I played this the game is just an injection of joy and the soundtrack is perfect
Feb.20 suda 51 unique brand of weird and crazy loved the personalities of the assassins and the overall story this game feels like an arthouse film in a way
Feb.27 Fuck this game
March.7 Happy to say this game still bangs, a lot of the boss fights are genuinely still super hard especially on proud mode. Only thing i really dislike is learning growth skills from drive forms is never explained and so I never got dodge roll which would have helped immensely.
March.16 Lots of really cool story elements come into play here and I really enjoy Terra Aqua and Ventus although Ventus less so. I would say a lot of the past games stories start to click but it also opens up a lot of questions. Most of the worlds were pretty lame besides the stitch world mostly because they were disney princess lands and the horrible disney town. Gameplay is alright though feels a lot stiffer than 2 being originally a psp title.
March.30 Have a ton of thoughts on this game but the biggest takeaway from this is fromsoft should make more games separate from the souls formula because this game was great.
April.10 Definitely my least favorite game by far it drags on way too long, repeating areas over again right after beating them is tedious and the gameplay doesn't feel great. None of the new added elements were enjoyable including flowmotion and spirits that felt not fleshed out enough as a concept and didn't really do much. Story gets pretty wacky at the end though.
