11) makai toushi SaGa (wonderswan color)

i played through the gb version of this for the first time a couple of years ago and i feel basically the same way i did then. extremely basic little rpg, dictionary definition of fine, very clearly the first handheld rpg ever and a neat historical curiosity. but still interesting and just engaging enough to see through. the systems are weird but not weird in a way that's super challenging or even requires you to know exactly how they work. the wonderswan version is cool, i like the upgraded music and the little visual touches, and everything regarding using a monster is way less of a pain in the rear end. good

I tell myself I'm going to learn shogi every time instead of using the cheat item and just waiting for the computer to tell me what to do but then I don't learn it.

1. Super Mario Galaxy: Of the three 3D Mario games in the All-Stars bundle it's easily the best. Basically had none of the problems the previous games had. Each course had pretty clear stars to get and then the hidden stars, special comet stars, and purple coin stars were all pretty good. I liked that they replaced finding 100 arbitrary coins with the 100 purple coin challenges. Super chill and fun game even if it never got that challenging.

2. Final Fantasy X HD Remaster: Got the platinum, maxed the sphere grid for every character, and beat Penance. The main story is still my favourite final fantasy without any contest. I love everything about it lol. I love the characters, the story, I love the Aeons, I love the attribute customisation for gear, and I think the sphere grid is great. The post game isn't very good though. It's absurd how much grinding exists between the end of game and fighting the Monster Arena bosses let alone the Dark Aeons. It's also a shame that every character just ends up as a clone of each other due to maxing the same grid by the end. I still love it and it's much ultimate cozy comfort game. Still my all time FF and hell an all time game for me. Will take a while before I play X-2 for sure though.

Thanks Pablo and Sub-Actuality for the great sigs!

4) Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

Gunplay and enemy difficulty felt much better than they have in other Borderlands games, but they removed LAN play and somehow broke Co-op, couldn't get it to work at all.

I've already purchased Ultimate Editions for me and my buddies. Rocksteady has been hard at work on this for almost a decade, and it's the least we could do.

All this means is we can get on New Game+ right away :blastu:
