River City Girls
This game sneaked up on me. I had been watching several videos involving Double Dragon (or at least one 10+ hour one where creator Matt McMuscles played every single game in the series), and I was getting the urge to play some beat-em-ups, ideally in that series. Instead, it pointed me toward River City Girls,…
Fate’s Final Fantasy Ranking
As is probably quite likely by the fact that my reviews for May have all been Final Fantasy games, I have a big soft spot for the series. The Super Nintendo FFs: Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VI (which I knew as FFII and FFIII, respectively) were probably the games that got me most…

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster
When it comes to these Final Fantasy games, I’m not sure which of the two I played first. My first real system growing up was the SNES, and while it took me a little while to get into JRPGs, they were one of the first types of games I can remember eagerly seeking out. I…

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster
I have mentioned previously that my favorite video game of all time is Final Fantasy IX, which came out on Playstation in 2000. Ironically, if you had asked me around that time period what my favorite game actually was, only the first two words/letters of that response would be the same. I would be instead…

Final Fantasy VIII: An Uneven Classic
There’s always this weirdness that comes when I’m reviewing a classic game like this. I did Final Fantasy IX, my favorite game, last year during a lull in releases and playing new games. Thanks to the release of the Pixel Remasters, there’s no danger of that for a good while (I’ve basically got Final Fantasy…

Persona 3: Portable
I did not set out to buy Persona 3: Portable originally. I only had Persona 4: Golden on my list, as I remembered having played P3 in the past. Both were originally released on the PS2, which was right when I was starting to get enough money to buy my own games (even better, this…

Fuga: Memories of Steel
Somehow I missed out on this absolute gem of a game. Maybe it was the relatively high price tag that made me hesitate; Fuga goes for $25 even when it’s on sale. It also doesn’t look, feel, or play like just about any other game I’ve ever played before, which is in itself something that…

Bug Fables
I actually bought this game at full price, not on sale. That’s right, I paid the full $24.99 for the opportunity to play this game. Like many of the games I play and by continuation, review for this blog, I found out about it via one of the many YouTube commentators I follow. In this…

Curse of the Sea Rats
I backed this game when it first hit Kickstarter, because it looked like it would be exactly the kind of game I like: a metroidvania with an absolutely gorgeous art style. I got my key right on release day along with everyone else, and for that first day of playing the majority of the game,…

Vernal Edge
I actually got this game right as it released, taking advantage of the release sale. It is, after all, a pixel graphics Metroidvania that has that awesome, how you remember the SNES look to it that I happen to love. I had been playing Aeterna Noctis at the time and was thus frustrated by a…
