Month End Video Game Wrap-Up: March 2025

~ Game Over ~

Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5) – Very good Monster Hunter game. Maybe a little too easy, and there’s a pretty slim selection of monsters to fight. Also the post-game story just kind of petered out… no big finale like we’re used to. Oh well! It was still a bunch of fun all the way through and I look forward to grinding hundreds more hours out of it.

Scary Shadow Spot: Bitter Glass (PC) – This is probably the most unique-feeling Doesn’t Matter game, but is in need of a lot of polish. I even encountered a game-breaking bug that forced me to restart the game halfway through. It took less than 20 minutes to recover my progress, but still. Big oof.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest (SNES) – This would be a much more frustrating game without NSO’s rewind feature. That’s all I want to say.

Perfect Dark (360) – A fun revisit. I was actually shocked at how difficult some of the missions are, and how unintuitive the objectives can be.

Crystar (PC) – Well, this sure happened. The gameplay is fun, but very basic and repetitive. The story is stuck somewhere between compelling and a little too anime. Mostly I liked the bleakness of it all, as I often do, and I appreciated all the references to philosophers and such.
