I bounced hard off of Skyward Sword when it first came out, but with my years-long Zelda marathon winding down it was finally time to play it. I ended up not hating it, but when the time comes for Ranking of Zeldas, it will be near or at the bottom. I was never a fan of motion controls and often found it difficult to hit the exact angle the game demanded. Flying around Skyloft is pretty boring. There is really nothing between you and your destination. Link's toolset is at its most interesting, and was sometimes used in ways I didn't consider, though it doesn't deviate from the age-old formula of reach dungeon, get tool, beat boss with tool.

Co-op replay with a friend. Unfortunately his late night gaming and my early work shift limits our playtime. Finished Jake's and Leon's campaign. Almost done with Chris'. I think it tries to do to much and be everything to everyone. Has none of the tension of early Resident Evil games or even 4, and enough ammo to mitigate any threat. As an action game to play with a friend, though, it's fun enough.
I messed around with Terraria years ago, but it didn't hook me. As I watched Badger's entertained, but unsuccessful, AGDQ run I decided to give it another try. This time it got me. I dug deep, I crafted hard, I bested bosses and brought myself to the final boss before hard mode. With Terraria's final update out, perhaps it's time to take the next step.
As a Traveler's Tales LEGO game, it's pretty clear what you are getting. Jumping back this far, it's clear to see while the overall game loop hasn't changed, the small incremental improvements have added up over time. Flying still doesn't feel great, but here it just feels awful.
Neptunia's real-time combat engine is improving, but still lacks the depth to be interesting. I do like the MMO within a game concept, though I'll go back to .hack if I want to do it again. The fan-service usually manages to straddle the line between funny and cringy pretty well. With a little more effort, this could have been a decent game, but boring combat sinks it. Especially the boss encounters. Just an ever increasing hp pool that takes longer and longer to whittle down.
Always in progress. My experience goes like this. New season starts, decide on a build, make it a little further than last time, forget game exists, new season starts, repeat. I should just finish the story in standard league, but it feels like I'd be missing the best source of good gear by skipping the current league mechanic.
I enjoyed the first SteamWorld Dig and I enjoyed this one as well. It really expanded on the basic concepts of the 1st game, but I often really just wanted to get back to digging.
For being a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES, Kirby is a series I just never played until Kirby's Adventure came to the Wii U. Planet Robobot is not so different. Navigate your way through each stage while stealing enemy powers. The level design is more intricate and you get a cool mech, but it's still Kirby and I'm thinking I should check out more of the games in between.
In progress.
