Signalis - When I finished it I knew that I loved its survival horror gameplay, but I was also left with a lot of open questions about its story. Couldn't get it out of my head ever since and have spent several hours looking at fanart, so yeah, I guess it's pretty damn good.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force - Yes, another Star Ocean. I like Sci-Fi RPGs, okay? The third game in the series that I've played, and like the others, it is clearly flawed, but manages to endear itself to me in some weird way. I feel like tri-Ace are the last true PS2 Double-A developers around.

Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands - Now we're talking. Absolutely fantastic. I have nothing negative to say about this one. Combat system, party customization, art, writing, music, everything's great. Criminally underrated. Play it.

Inscryption - Unfortunately not for me. I liked the mystery, metagame elements, but I never could care for the card game. Deckbuilders aren't for me anyway, and by the 3rd act even that aspect stopped working. My roommate absolutely loved it though, so give it a try if you like this kind of stuff.

Astro Bot - I kinda want to criticize it for riding the nostalgia wave of whimsical fun Sony games while being the only whimsical fun game on that console, but I can't. It's too charming, too fun, too delightful, though I'd say that it hasn't quite reached the levels of refinement of a 3D Mario.

Chrono Trigger - A classic I hadn't played, and yeah, this one is pretty great. Fully deserves its reputation as one of the greats, though I personally wouldn't put it all the way up there because I did have some minor gripes with the combat system. The soundtrack is goated.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R - A great remake of a... good, but not amazing RPG. I think my main gripe is that the other party members don't have anything to do in the main plot after they are introduced, and the main plot itself isn't all that either. Still really enjoyed it.

Death Stranding - I really do like Kojima, but this one left me kinda confused. The gameplay was nice, relaxing, zen, but the story felt over-explained and under-interesting, and 80% of the worldbuilding consisted of the five words "Sam", "Porter", "Bridges", "America" and "Strand"
