Agreed. Atp, its actively immersion breaking to not have it especially since these games have cinematic cutscenes now.

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be fine lol

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 1d

I'm really loving Legends Z-A and I really hope the next mainline titles make a genuine effort to bring in the fluid gameplay the Legends series has. Scarlet and Violet imo felt like a weird half step that ended up feeling awkward, which I understand since S/V were made concurrently with Arceus.

Here's my Scarlet team if anyone cares!! I tried to use Pokémon Ive never used before and exclusively gen 9 Pokémon and I loved it!! Bellibolt in particular is an unexpected favorite of mine!!!

38) Pokémon Scarlet
-I enjoyed this a LOT more on the Switch 2. Playing it w/o being distracted by awful fps made me love a lot of what it was going for, particularly the story and characters. I find the open ended structure enjoyable, but very unbalanced. I really enjoyed my time w it!
-7.5/10

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 4d

I think there's a strong chance I pick Chikorita for Pokemon Legends even tho Totodile is my fav widdle baby waby. I don't think in my 20 years of playing these games, I've ever had a Chikorita on my team lol.

The tonal whiplash going from Expedition 33 to Trails in The Sky is so jarring in the best way possible

37) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
-Great! The story is AMAZING and the music is GREAT with some really amazing bosses too. I think my only gripe is I really did not vibe w the combat lol. I think they went a lil overboard on the parry/dodge and by the end I was actively avoiding encounters lol.
-9/10

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 6d

Finally finished Act 2 of Expedition 33 after dragging my feet for so long! This game's story bosses are genuinely so amazing! Super cinematic and super grand and the music is insane!!!! Excited to finish the main story!!!

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 7d

As someone who considered Streets of Rage 4 their fav beat em' up seeing one of those devs go on to make a fucking amazing Shinobi reboot and the other dev go on to make a phenomenal original beat em up roguelite is honestly such a dream come true. What a powerful duo.

36) Super Mario Galaxy 2:
-Great! The levels are a HUGE step up from Galaxy 1 even if I found them a less atmospheric. I honestly think it's on par w the first game, I just vastly prefer the first game's presentation and more cinematic feel. Still awesome! The game also looked GORGEOUS in 4K!
-9/10

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 8d

It's already out! I just didn't count it because it's a remake, but it's awesome too!

Getting Astro Bot and Donkey Kong Bananza in back to back years is crazy like platformers are coming back in a big way.

34) Ghost of Yōtei
-AMAZING! I think it's on par w the first game if not slightly better. The exploration improvements are amazing and I LOVE weapon swapping lol esp since the weapons feel so distinct and fun to use. I'm such a huge fan of Atsu and the overall lone wanderer feel the game has!
-9/10

It's my first time playing Mario Galaxy 2 and dam they rlly just made the best game of all time again

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 13d

I just beat Ghost of Yotei and I plan to do 100% cleanup, but MAN. The story is just immaculate and I LOVED the ending. It's hard to beat the first game's ending, but honestly I think they matched it in quality. Sucker Punch cooked again I fear....

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 14d

It's the focused hearing lol. It lets you "see" through walls for stealth purposes lol.

Mahikachu @mahikachu.bsky.social · 14d

The nonlinear nature of Ghost of Yotei is so funny because it took me 40 hours of playing this game to unlock a very basic QoL feature that the first game started you off with almost immediately lol.

Never in all my days did I think Sucker Punch would reference Rocket: Robot on Wheels in 2025 lmfaooo
