I just finished GoW 2018 before I dipped into ragnarok. What an amazing game.
I would give it a solid 8/10 because of repetitive bosses. They’re all just trolls of different colors. The puzzles are fantastic and the fighting is just outstanding. I’m really looking forward to ragnarok.

Cocoon. 8.5/10. Visually stunning. Very creative. Would have benefited from more puzzle variety. They were all pretty samey with just a slight twist.
SimCity 4 9/10
It feels so casual and easy to approach. All of a sudden I realise that 4 hours have gone by. With better road options this would be 10/10. Next I’ll mod it and check how I feel about it after that.
God I loved simcity 4! So much nostalgia…
Ys Lacrimosa of Dana. It completely blew my expectations away. I was not expecting this game to keep expanding and keep introducing as many new ideas and gameplay styles as it does.
I played it after having played Ys Memories of Celceta, so I did have an idea of what to expect coming in - but Lacrimosa of Dana surpassed those expectations by a large amount. The increase in scope and gameplay features is significant.
I learned after the fact that some of these bonus things were only introduced in later versions (the PSVita original does not have the entire Dana dungeon, apparently), but still - the experience as I played it on Switch was definitely very rich in content.
I’m playing through Ys Monstrum Nox now, and it doesn’t seem like it has the same amount of stuff going on, unfortunately. It’s still very good, but it’s clear that Lacrimosa of Dana was something special.
Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Apparently it got a lot of hate simply because it came out around the time some other games did open-world poorly. But for what Andromeda did, it was very fun and the story was great. Too bad they won’t continue that story, tho.
Sorry, Tali. I’m seeing Vetra now.
Mario Wonder. 8.
I finished the story mode of Anarchy Reigns. What an absolutely funny game, it’s stupid action and ridiculous anime bullshit all the way. I’m kinda baffled the multiplayer wasn’t more popular when it came out, it’s the very definition of just jumping in and exploding some stuff.
FF CC Great 8/10
RoboCop Rogue City - A 7/10 elevated to an 8/10 by the reverence for the old material.
Was “bitches leave!” in there?
No, but an OCP executive shoos you away at one point, and says “bitches, come” as he invites some company into the office.

Mortal Shell. It’s objectively a 5/10 game but I have no fucking clue why I finished it. There’s something about this game thar had me hooked and I do not know what it is. I’m serious, game is a 5/10 on it’s best day. Would not recommend you play it but I have and I’m doing a second playthrough no less.
about to finish persona 5 tactica so i’ll post cause im really close. i’d give the game a 7. the story is a mess at times but focuses itself towards the end, the gameplay is pretty good but is noticeably really easy (i’m playing on hard and lost on a normal level once in 20 hours of gameplay, the quests are well made though and provide a good puzzle). the music is really good as every persona game has had.
Bramble: The Mountain King. Solid 8/10 game if you’re into folk horror, especially Norwegian folk horror.
Finally got around to lies of p. I’d give it a 7.5 out of ten. Interesting story and a really neat take on the Pinocchio story. Combats mostly fluid with some jank in the dodge mechanics. Plays a lot like sekiro. Great game. If you have game pass you should definitely try it.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: 9/10
It has a really great story, everything with The Castle is fun, Pocket Circuit returns, the ending is one of the best in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series (especially if you played 3 & 6), & it is a good prelude to Infinite Wealth. The only issue I have is that it’s shorter than every other game in the series.
Also, Akame is best girl.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. I’d give it a 8 or 9 out of 10. It was literally insane that RGG Studios made it in about 6 months and the end had me bawling.
