hated this so much i 100%ed it just to make sure i wasn’t tripping. the boredom and futility of the main story is so intense the extra completion bonuses are the only way i was able to get even an ounce of enjoyment out of it. see instead of getting experience points through battling you get money, which you’re meant to spend on more combat materials, which gets you more money, etc. but if you want to find all the hidden doors you have to pay for them, the single factor in the entire game justifying the existence of a currency system to begin with. this is what purgatory feels like. writing is also terrible but the waiting in line gag in 4-6 was funny

i didn't like this game but i pretended i did to make my friends happy lol

makes the feminist part of my brain run in circles like an excited puppy. one of the few gameplay-less games that i think totally justifies its existence. i’m already a huge fan of games that make use of misleading direction and the unconventional horrors of exercising free will, so using these mechanics to build a metaphorical narrative about women’s role in society? (chef’s kiss)

feels mandatory to mention abi wanted me to play all the pmd games and it’s pretty much impossible now to detach any of them from that specific context. this one is simple but good. i played this during a period of deep self-loathing and seeing the partner be so consistently chipper and nice to you made me want to cry at times lol

stresses me the fuck out but in a unique way nothing else can really compare to. with oxygen, fuel, health, and time itself in limited supply, this game is an unparalleled masterwork of building tension, but didn’t quite pay off like i’d hoped

way scarier and harder than 2. this game’s a pain in the ass but in the charming 90s way. puzzles are bullshit, ending requirements are cryptic, enemies are fast. for such a meditative atmospheric series i’m pretty sure i spent the last couple hours of this game constantly running

my friend jenny has been telling me to play this for years i promise i will soon

takes some weird liberties with the original trilogy's source material, but it works i like it

this looks like something i would absolutely adore i'll play it some day i promise

what can i say. it's hard and i can't beat it. as a young preteen i would do the narpas sword cheat and bullshit my way to the end over and over just to feel something

one of my last memories in my old house in michigan was playing through all of pacman arrangement alone late at night. i wanted the world to be different then

2 hard

can't play bc no memory card lmao

bought this while i was obsessed with rare and just never got around to playing it lol

wish this excited me more than it does. flawless from a design perspective but emphasizes all the things i care least about: disposable power ups, short linear levels, moment to moment precision. i’m tryna chill over here

very by the books. everything is balanced and consistent in a way the classic games refused to even pretend to be, but it still loses a bit of the appeal no? this is a party with rules and order and maybe that’s a good thing but sometimes i just wanna get fucked up

coziest game ever made. if i hang out with anyone while there's a switch nearby i'll force them to watch me play this for like an hour

i suck at this

a game that lives, breathes, and dies on passion alone. i honestly found most of the gameplay tedious and exhausting but it's trying its damndest to impress every step of the way and for that it has my full respect
