Amazing Game. As of 2021, Switch version I did'nt experienced any bug going through it. Despite the cute graphics, this is not a game for kids, it's a much tougher and more complex and deep game than it looks. It's true the monkeys can be a chore using at first, but if you're patient enough you'll get the hang of it. The game is also quite long, over 50 + hours for a good roundup. If you like **** valley but looking for something a bit more challenging this game is a must.
Not bad, but disappointing. Obviously the game was made with multi-player in mind (2 players, mostly) meaning that on solo mode you're gonna have a hard time finding your fun. The only way to play online is to have a subscription to Nintendo Online, which I don't have and I don't want one either. On single player mode, the game is ridiculously easy. When I'm trying the "impossible" level in any specific game, I'm expecting it to be almost "impossible" effectively, not to beat it on my first try. That is really becoming a major concern with Nintendo games. I hope one day Nintendo understands that the average age of gamers is not 8 years old like it was in 1988. It is significantly higher than that. Therefore their games have to be clearly harder than is it in Clubhouse Games. But Overall it's OK I guess... Toy Games are trash - all of them - but Card games are great, and I discovered some really good games I didn't know, like Yacht Dice (my favorite) or Backgammon.
Granted, the possibility of riding through the game without killing a single enemy is a truly brilliant idea. I also like the way this game is a, kinda, gigantic middle finger to crapload AAA developpers like EA or Rockstar (Only those two, in fact) Unfortunately, that doesn't make Undertale a good game. Being totally honest, you probably won't have much fun with it (as I did) .... There are the 2 major things that stopped me from enjoying the game ; 1-Invisible / Random enenmy encounter. I can't believe in 2015 people are still making games with invisible/random enemy encounter. It was a bad idea in 1987, so imagine now... Even Earthbound back in 1994 was clever enough to avoid those **** invisble enemy encounter. So why torture us like this ? 2-Ugly visuals. Don't get me wrong, I usually like retro graphics a lot. But this....this is wrong in every possible way. The sprites are awful, the colors are awful, the environment design, the mapping design, there is about no artistic vision or direction...everything you see in Undertale is just ugly and irritating. So in the end, no, I didn't enjoy the game much... I made it about half-way through the game and then stopped, there was no point in going further, really. It's not a zero, but also, I'm sorry about that, it's amazingly far from the 10 in my book.
Probably the best DS game along with Final Fantasy Tactics A2. This is turn-base Strategy at his finest, there is no other game like Clash of Heroes. After all these years I'm still hoping for a sequel.
The least enjoyable Metroid game I've played so far, and I'm still giving a respectable 7, which shows how strong this serie is. I may be the only one on Earth who actually prefers the original Metroid 2 than this remake. Metroid 2 was amazing, the best Game Boy game ever IMO. The music, especially, was really unique, creepy and memorable. They throw that all away in this remake, the music is rather dull. They even brought on the Norfair music in high-heat areas, which is a really bad idea. Don't get me wrong, the game is still fun, especially once you get the Screw Attack, but it really feels like a blend of any other 2D Metroid game. It doesn't had anything relevant to the serie at all. Remember the WOW moments you had when you first entered the Wrecked ship Area in Super Metroid ? Or the first time you battled the huge plant-like Boss in Metroid Prime ? You won't get any moments like that in Samus Returns., sadly. The mechanics are great, the pace is fast, the overall game is **** it's also incredibly generic and kinda soulless. Once you've done with it, you probably won't remember anything from it. Now be prepared to find my review "unhelpful", cause I'm gonna say it : The truth is I enjoyed Federation Force a lot, really lot more than Samus Returns.
At first I was thinking " Ok, it's a remake of an old game, just buying a little time until the next real Fire Emblem title..." But it turns out Echoes is just as good or even better than Awakening or Fates. I felt the combat was more fun and rewarding than on previous titles. You can grind as much as you want and the free-roaming dungeons are a great addition that leaves you with a lot more things to do. Overall the game adds more freedom and is less linear to play. I could'nt care less about the disappearance of the weapon triangle. As for the pairing, I also prefer the old way; without it. There is no silly marriage and siblings thing which was a bad idea anyway (On Awakening it was OK cause it was part of the story, but on Fates they really should have left that out.) So Echoes is really another excellent Fire Emblem game. Similar in the spirit but different enough to be relevant. A must buy even for newcomers and all 3DS users.
Upon finishing the game, I have somehow mixed impressions about Thimbleweed Park. For me, Maniac Mansion will forever be the most important video game ever made, but... let's face it ; in 2017, point and click adventures is a type of game that didn't age very well... There is nothing that much fun in being stuck for hours on a puzzle. Nothing much fun in finally solving that puzzle and already fearing of getting stuck on the next one. That really is the main concern here. I also agree with some critics I've read elsewhere ; the caracters in Thimbleweed Park are too much cliché (I loved Dolores, but hated Ransome the clown...) and the overall humor too childish. Well, that was for the down side. On the other hand, everything else about this game is awesome. The voice acting is top notch, the story is very good, extremely good I'd say, just about the best I've seen in the Point and click genre. The investigation going on suits the game type very well. The overall ideas makes you feel that this game is everything Ron Gilbert and co. were aiming for in the first place. The graphics are perfect, retro enough and really classy. Finally the music and sounds gets the job done alright. So, yes, Thimbleweed Park is charming and clever. But in the end I feel like I love the game much more than I actually had fun playing it. That's all.
Fantastic game. I choose to buy Birthright because the characters seemed more appealing - and they are. Graphics and style are awesome, you can't get any better than this on any console. But what's really great about this game is the new Castle mode, which I enjoyed more than anything else in the game. I hope they keep this idea in future FE games. It's not quite as perfect as Path of Radiance on GameCube so I'm giving a final score of 9 instead of 10, but really this is a monolith ****, even slightly better than Awakening in my opinion.
I've never seen a game rated so low by critics and fans deserving more praise than this game... Metroid Prime Federation Force is among the best 3DS games I've ever played, and I've played most of the "best" 3DS games so far... No, it's not as perfect as the first Metroid Prime, but about no game ever will. Heck, it doesn't even really feel like a Metroid **** who cares? The game is excellent by itself. Haters got to understand it's impossible for game creators to make the same game over and over again... I totally respect the risks they've taken with this game, as I did few years ago with Metroid Other M. (although I think MPFF is even better...) So far I'm almost done with the Solo campaign. It plays very well, no problem at all, I'm not even thinking about playing multiplayer mode. I was a bit afraid of the controls before trying the game but they are really great, not hard at all to get into. The pace is kinda slow a bit (you control a huge mech so...) you won't get the speed effect you had in previous Metroids, but the game is so fun, well-crafted and ingenious that, really it doesn't matter much... As for the graphics, the apparently infamous "Chibi" art style, personnally I absolutely love them. I think it's perfect for smaller screens like the DS, and it's even a reason why I bought the game in the first place ; I toughed graphics looked great. If you don't like them, well, what can I say? your artistic tastes **** and that's it. So forget about all the bad critics and Metroid nostalgia and give this game a try. A true Classic in my opinion.
Dishonored can feel a bit generic at times (it's basically a clever mix of Batman, Assassin's Creed and FallOut...), but it's such a well-crafted game that we can easily forgive it. Using the blink ability or the heart to find Runes is really fun. On top of that, the design of the universe and the maps are just about the best I've seen so far. Got to give this game a try.
One of the most clever game I've ever played. A must try for Wii U owners. Also If you're looking for a hard and rewarding game, this game will give you a run for your money.
Best Fire Emblem game ever, and I've played them all (well those released in North America...) It's even better than Awakening in my opinion. The preparation parts between fights never been more fun than on Path of Radiance, especially the distribution of extra Xp between your characters. And of Course, the story is insanely great, the overall game is polished and deep. It's sad that every Top10 Game Cube games seem to pass over Path of Radiance's greatness. In my Top 10, This game is on top of them all.
Everything about this game is perfect. Personnally I prefer shorter games with high replay value and this title certainly hits the mark. Once you've beaten it you'll want to start all over again. Beautiful graphics and atmosphere, cool characters and ennemies, very original and fun to play, addictive.... Pikmin 3 is still the best Wii U game so far.
