Fun detective game that really makes you feel smart when you get the clues together. The presentation of the game may deter more finicky people but I think given the experience this gives you I heartily recommend.
This game really sucked me in with the unique way it presented its world and gameplay through the use of the manual. It truly feels like the type of old games you hear rumors on the playground about some secret door or powerup or other, and you're not sure you'd believe it. Utterly wonderful.
What I expected to be a simple harpoon fishing game actually has a lot of meat on it, with various gameplay avenues that may seem like padding, but are just developed enough that they don't overstay their welcome, and blend well into the core gameplay loop.
Robustly designed, flavorful, and well written JRPG that sadly seems to lose steam a lot by the seventh chapter, but it does pick up again for the finale. Its honestly funny how Bowser is just here to check boxes that "yep this is a Mario game".
There's a good gameplay core here, but it feels like they struggled to iterate from that. Coupled with a very awkwardly paced story, I finished the game a bit unsatisfied. Its by no means terrible, but it needed more hours in the oven, thematic irony intended.
This one has a lot less sauce than the previous arc but still enjoyable. Animation is still snappy as usual. The only thing I really feel awkward about is the romance betwen Trevor and Anette; feels forced.
