Excellent final world, and the Colosseum was notably easier than The Arena in most recent Kirby games.

For all the things I like about Stranger of Paradise (and I like a lot of things about it!), the memories that endure will likely be of the incredibly frustrating boss battles, some of which took me multiple hours to win. I honestly don&#8217;t know what drove me to keep playing the post-game content&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kyatto Ninden Teyandee<\/strong> (Famicom) &#8211; An action platformer that was never localized for North American audiences, who may know it better as Samurai Pizza Cats. Sadly, it is simply a mediocre licensed game. Playthrough video on YouTube is forthcoming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chasing Static<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; First-person adventure with a lightly spooky theme. I enjoyed the game, but it was a little too straight-forward for my tastes. I spent very little time wondering what to do next. The playthrough of this one will also be coming out on TE Video eventually&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; It&#8217;s been a long road, but it&#8217;s finally done. What can I say about this one? It&#8217;s both overwhelmingly pretentious and the edgiest thing I&#8217;ve ever seen. It&#8217;s unfinished and broken as all heck. But! I had a lot of fun playing it, and some of the story beats were genuinely good and emotionally affecting. So yeah, it&#8217;s a mixed bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Fantasy III<\/strong> (DS) &#8211; Tower of Owen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evil Tonight<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Unlocked the garden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished ~ The Final Chapter (PC) &#8211; Another playthrough to generate YouTube &#8220;content.&#8221; So much fun, I want to play it again!
