It's not Crimson Skies, it's not even Snoopy Flying Ace, but it's got all da dakka and dat's all ya need, ya grotz!

You get to be a shark and eat people. It's an open world game and they model it after a reality TV show, it's a nice premise and they play it well with Jerry's voice as the narrator. It gets kind of repetitive, but by the time it really starts to grate on you you've already finished it completely.

A gritty early aughts love letter to those who grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series. The combat and exploration is pretty reminiscent of the Shadow of Mordor series, which is a good thing. Expect a lot of cinematic combat and really beautiful vistas.

A beautiful remaster of a classic game. The amount of satire and early sci-fi homage is reaching the bursting point, but underneath it is still a fun open world destruction simulator of the early '00s genre.

A nice little Metroidvania, it lacks the staying power of many entries in the genre but it hits all the high notes perfectly. I enjoyed it while it lasted and I don't feel cheated whatsoever by the length. The story is basically Deelitvision and that's fine, it keeps things interesting while not really conflicting with the existing RotLW canon. Pirotess mode when?

An amazing aesthetic with a story that, to me atleast, was completely inaccessible. Is Cloudbank a simulation? Are the Camarata a cult? A corporation? What is the process? I didn't feel like any of these questions were ever really answered, but somehow enough of the classic noir tropes were present and the presentation was so slick that I didn't really care. The pseudo-turn based gameplay was fun, and the computer program attacks offered a lot of cool combos, even though Void (Crash) and Tap (Load) is objectively the best.

Neat little game, and captures the brutality and crude nature of ancient Roman gladiator culture quite well.

It's a very peaceful game, but beyond that it's not particularly engaging.

I really like the wallpapers, my desktop has class now.

It's an okay action JRPG with a very light VN dating sim element. The characters aren't generally too annoying and the fighting is decent if very quickly repetitive. I put it at the crossroads between Grandia, Symphonia and Drakengard but not as good as any of those others.
