3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/strong> (3DS) – I don\u2019t really know what to say. It took me probably just as long to get through Chemical Plant Zone as it did every other level combined. Plus, despite all my efforts, I just don\u2019t find Sonic very fun. Almost thirty years I\u2019ve been trying to like Sonic games, but I can\u2019t get there. Sonic 2 in particular has excellent art and great music, but it\u2019s just not fun. #SonicWasAlwaysBad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n METAGAL<\/strong> (Switch) – A blatant Mega Man ripoff, but it\u2019s actually pretty good! While the key art is a bit ugly, the in-game visuals are really nice, and the controls are surprisingly tight. METAGAL is also a few stages short of a full Mega Man, but makes up for that by being unexpectedly difficult and ranking you on your performance to encourage replays. My only major complaint is that special weapons are all tied to the same (very short) energy bar, and while it refills automatically, it harshly limits your use of anything but your basic shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Picross S3<\/strong> (Switch) – It feels like ages since the last Picross (it was October of last year), so it was nice to have a new set of puzzles to hack away at. It\u2019s more or less exactly the same as the last two in the S series, but this one has a cool new Colour Picross mode where you solve puzzles with multiple colours. And it comes complete with animated solutions! I don\u2019t think Jupiter has done those since the Super Famicom days! Though why they\u2019re only in Colour Picross mode, I\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mutant Mudds <\/strong>(Switch) – I bought the Mutant Mudds Collection. Again. For $4. And then I proceeded to play through all the first game\u2019s original content in a single sitting. Then I did all of the \u201cDeluxe\u201d version content in another (Ghost and Granny levels). I really like Mutant Mudds, but I hate those few jumps where you have to fall then jetpack in under an overhang to a tunnel that is exactly your character\u2019s height. I don\u2019t know if I described it very well, but if you\u2019ve played the game, you know exactly what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My Lovely Daughter<\/strong> (Switch) – A game about giving life, and then taking it away in the most macabre ways imaginable. Well, sort of. I wrote a whole big thing. Go read it maybe? Final Fantasy IX<\/strong> (PS1) – Cleared Ipsen\u2019s Castle (w\/ gold chocobo!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!<\/strong> (Switch) – Up to World 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Castle of Heart<\/strong> (Switch) – Finished Chapter 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) – Handful of shrines, started Zora quest line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pixel Puzzle Collection<\/strong> (iOS) – 18% complete<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dauntless<\/strong> (PS4) – I don\u2019t even know how to gauge progress here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mutant Mudds Super Challenge<\/strong> (Switch) – Completed World 2 ~ Game Over ~ 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (3DS) – I don\u2019t really know what to say.
