This is going to be the start of my 2025 media thread. Small change from last year is I'll put (R) in front of something I am replaying, rereading etc.

1. Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver
First game of the year and my friend @dupinema.bsky.social got me to play lol. I enjoyed it although hearing how lots of stuff got cut, it makes sense playing this. You can see the gaps in it. I still enjoyed and will play the rest but just thought it was okay.
2. Ys Memoire: The Oath In Felghana
Short but fun game. I enjoyed what was there, combat feels good and the areas are fun to explore. It's a nice little story for what's there. Definitely feels like a game meant to be replayed over and over, might do that. Good game is good.
3. Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver 2
This is a weird game to me. I think it's story and characters are great, with some stellar scenes which gripped me. Gameplaywise I think the game is very one note, I didn't like the block puzzles in the first but I don't think the combat is deep enough to carry (cont)
(Continued for last) ...this game. There's a lot of running back and forth between a few different areas. It feels like 2 steps forwards and two steps back. Still good but left with mixed feelings.
4. (R)The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Feels funny to post this now with the switch 2 reveal. I enjoyed going back to this, it's fun and this is one of my favourite versions of Zelda as a character. Some annoyances come from the controls and backtracking quests but still fun.
5. Emio The Smiling Man
I think this game is great. The mystery and tension it builds up throughout the game is so unnerving that kept me gripped. I have some issues with the ending feeling rushed with a lot of details left for the epilogue but this is still great regardless.
