Maybe a little on the easy side, but at least it never feels impossibly difficult, like its inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mega Man 5 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Switch) &#8211; Now this one, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">game is way too easy. The one NES Mega Man that I can burn through without even considering a save state. But it\u2019s still very charming and creative!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mega Man<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Switch) &#8211; I don\u2019t especially like Mega Man One. Why are his feet so slippery? Why do those big stompy guys hurt so much? How do you beat Yellow Devil without cheating?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Switch) &#8211; I\u2019ll just say this: I\u2019m glad I got this for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Pok\u00e9mon Quest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Switch) &#8211; It\u2019s a grind. A never-ending and wholly unsatisfying grind. Luckily, you can just set it to auto and let it grind itself. I still wouldn\u2019t recommend it. Grind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tales of Berseria <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(PS4) &#8211; I have no idea why Berseria isn\u2019t jiving with me the way other Tales games have. Whenever I play, I get a strong urge to do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anything else<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after about 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>MGSV: The Phantom Pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PC) &#8211; I have become obsessed with this game, and now whenever I see a cargo container, I instinctively want to attach a Fulton balloon to it to steal it away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fallout Shelter <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Switch) &#8211; It reminds me a lot of Middle Manager of Justice, only more post-apocalyptic. I don\u2019t know that I have room in my life for another \u201cwaiting\u201d game, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fran Bow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PC) &#8211; A horror-themed point-and-click adventure game about a sick little girl who abuses pills to hallucinate solutions to puzzles. Also she may or may not have killed her parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I Am Setsuna<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Switch) &#8211; Picked this back up because I want to finish it before Octopath Traveler <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">next month.
