*is not

admittedly this wont stop skarrsinger from kicking my ass but also they're doing the cool thing with her moveset that makes the brain pop off, bosses blocking still kinda sucks tbh tho when they move around so much

Damn the boss fights in this sure don't feel as insane when part of them is a massive endurance test

Donkey Kong: Bananza;
Bold of Nintendo to put out one of their best games and not make it a launch title.

Also, the Accessories you get in this are insane, no wonder they're locked to an endgame, dlc dungeon.

FF16: Echoes of the Fallen;
Pretty short with some cool fights inside, did highlight how I wish this part of the setting had more presence in the story as a missed opportunity for a series of side quests, and a bizarre reminder that the main game barely features any side side quests in the deadlands

FF16: The Rising Tide;
A much needed fresh idea visually in contrast to the rest of the game as well as featuring an Eikon story not related to the same regal system and politics of the main story.
Funnily enough I played the two DLCs in reverse order only unlocking certain quests after the other.

In love with the close ups in this game.

Final Fantasy 16;
Certified "I can get better" media.
Great game undercut by some badic RPG systems and some pacing issues.
