New year, new media thread. Enough fell through the cracks in both 2023 and 2024 that I've got plenty to play this year, even if I pick up noting new throughout it (as if that's gonna happen).

I think this game has a lot of great characters and funny quirky writing. I don't really like this developer's output much so this game came as a genuine surprise. The forging weapons stuff is neat, and the game is gigantic. The postgame is robust and the soundtrack isn't bad.

These damn kids lose everything and anything, and they keep wanting Snoopy to do their chores.
When a PERFECTLY CAPABLE Charlie Brown made the dog fetch his shoes, I knew that Charlie Brown was up to no good.
Lucy is still my clone.

Took a bit of warming up to this one, but one double jump later I can say this was one of the better search actions I've played this year. Great spritework and colors, neat traversal tools, and I dug the Rayearth-like aesthetic the protagonist has going.

This OTOH was my first time playing the sequel and jesus its the most vile case of misery porn I've ever seen lobbed at fans of their own game. Sacrificing every bit of goodwill to beat you over the head with the most basic morality cudgel, Druckmann shouldn't have a job.

Played this for my wife, who "missed" it a decade ago and appreciated having the blind spot in her knowledge filled up. I've always been pretty neutral on this one: pretty alright "zombie" game story, could understand why it got that big even if I didn't quite agree.

(the ironic part is that the one character from this who everyone and their puppy seems to hate is prob the only actually properly developed one and their involvement in the inciting incident feels entirely out of character compared to them in the rest of the game)

Finally got around to this overlooked keita takashi joint, enjoyed how much it feels like a long overdue sequel to Noby Noby Boy (eating and pooping included) tho does also feel like there were one too many conflicting ideas for what to DO with the concept.
What a strange game.

Enjoyed this SO much more than the first game. Much prefer the more grounded, overall serious presentation of AW's quirky aesthetic, with Saga's competency being a great contrast to Alan's fuckups. Love the mixed media. Still missed Barry.

I think this game was more interesting than the first. Not everyone was my cup of tea but it's nice to see that it was really creative. Really involved everything including the kitchen sink which... worked? I think? It was fun.

I really wanted to like this. A visual/audio delight that's plagued by game design choices too baffling to ignore, on top of there being too many mediocre combat segments with the same handful of repeated enemy types. Getting to NG++ to "finish" the story felt like a waste of time.

I think this game took a tiny bit longer than I wanted to cook, but upon reflection, it needed that time to cook so you can understand why it's really cool to look at the pages you may have missed at the end. Fake internet is cooler than modern internet.

I hate saying this but this overstays its welcome. It has a great art direction and music. Even after 4 playthrus, the game felt like it needed better resolution. R07's writing style feels better in a VN since it has more wiggle-room to change. Encounter design + combat kinda suck.
