The story was fun and surprisingly emotional, and the battle system is really something else. Definitely a top tier FF. At least if you\u2019re playing casually or maybe even speedrunning. The most important thing I took away from it is that going for 100% or really<em> any<\/em> of the post-game is a fool\u2019s errand and nobody should ever bother trying. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever spent so much time grinding in any other single video game. Post-game content is <em>not<\/em> fun here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bastion <\/strong>(Switch) &#8211; This is another game that has a very good reputation but I\u2019d never played it until now. I am less excited about this one. Not that it isn\u2019t good&#8230; I just think I would have got more out of it back in 2011 before indie games got real big. I liked the unique storytelling, though the gameplay felt a little hollow and I can\u2019t really articulate why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spyro the Dragon<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; I guess September is like \u201cdiscover beloved older games month\u201d for me. And I\u2019ve listed them here in descending order of how much I like them. Honestly I don\u2019t really get why people dig Spyro so much. It\u2019s fine, I guess. But really you mostly just walk forward and gather gems and dragons. It\u2019s like if Super Mario 64\u2019s power stars were just sitting out for you to collect at your leisure. Also the bosses are all really terrible. I really grew to enjoy the flight levels, at least. And it\u2019s a spectacularly pretty remake.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pixel Puzzle Collection<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; 90.2%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Super Kirby Clash<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Levelled to 59<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Astral Chain<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Currently on File 07<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monster Hunter World: Iceborne<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Up to the Acidic Glavenus quest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yoshi\u2019s Island<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; World 2-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pic-A-Pix Pieces<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; 14\/20 panels complete<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spyro 2: Ripto\u2019s Rage!<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; About halfway done, as the gems fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Cleared Level 8 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Final Fantasy X HD Remaster (PS4) &#8211; I\u2019ve never really played FFX before, and I have to say\u2026 This is an excellent game!
