KIDS<\/strong> (PC) – Art (non-)game. Weirdly satisfying, except when it becomes tedious. You can only appreciate milking people through a digestive tract so many times. But it’s only like 20 minutes long, so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LOVE<\/strong> (PC) – Retro platformer built for speedruns. Tense and occasionally frustrating, but not quite masocore. Interesting in that it allows you to plop down a respawn point just about anywhere. Very fun, but super short and of limited value if you’re not planning to learn and master it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Hat in Time<\/strong> (Switch) – Achieved 100% by clearing the DLC chapters. Seal the Deal was fun and super cute, but tragically short. I was less enthused by Nyakuza Metro’s massive, confusing, maze of a world. Didn’t play past the first two Death Wish challenges because ehhhhh I only have so much time, and I don’t really want<\/em> harder remixes of all the things I’ve already done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Xenoblade Chronicles DE<\/strong> (Switch) – Xenoblade is one of my favourite games of all time, and I’m super glad this great excuse to replay it came along. Just as good as I remember it, maybe even better. And this time I finished it in under 100 hours<\/a> (95). Though I would like to go back and clean up some of the post-game content, who knows where I’ll find the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition<\/strong> (Switch) – I didn’t write a review so much as an editorial<\/a> inspired by this one. Decent horror walk-’em-up with a plot twist that I realized early on, but appreciated no less. Also I really like the interactive museum mode. Best way to show off art\/models\/etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paper Mario: The Origami King<\/strong> (Switch) – I know people are generally split on the “new” style of Paper Mario, but I think that this might be my favourite game in the series. It’s a hilarious, epic adventure that has some surprisingly touching moments and a very fun puzzle-based combat system. Experience points be damned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/strong> (SNES) – What do you want me to say about this that hasn’t already been said? Stone cold classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Piczle Colors<\/strong> (Switch) – Cleared Red, Orange, Yellow<\/p>\n\n\n\n Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour<\/strong> (Switch) – Ep 2, Stage 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelda: The Wind Waker<\/strong> (GC) – Temple of the Gods<\/p>\n\n\n\n SINoALICE<\/strong> (iOS) – Act 2, Chapter 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Stillness of the Wind<\/strong> (Switch) – ????<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadly Premonition Origins<\/strong> (Switch) – Cleared lumber mill otherworld<\/p>\n\n\n\n Super Smash Bros Ultimate<\/strong> (Switch) – Cleared a few Classic Modes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pixel Puzzle Collection<\/strong> (iOS) – 180.6%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ~ Game Over ~ KIDS (PC) – Art (non-)game.
