1. Luigi's Mansion 3 (Rank: B)

overall, pretty drat great. none of the new gadgets or maneuvers felt wasted and it was cool how the Poltergust could interact with basically everything in the mansion/hotel. lot more focus on puzzle-solving and exploring the environment than the original, too. only a couple of gripes, mostly about the Boiler Room thanks to being stuck on a raft for a good portion of it, and i wasn't a fan of how catching Boos felt in this one. i don't think you even needed to catch a single one to beat the game but idk

also John Romero is even more of a massive bitch forever for spending hours struggling to aim on the final boss when the game gently locks onto the target you need to hit once you're over it

lol

Shadow Man Remastered - 120 Dark Souls

This is one of those games that I was always interested in when it was current on the N64, but I never got around to getting it. The Remaster was a very nice surprise so I grabbed it, and played it with a friend who was also interested. We ended up really liking it! I'm an absolute sucker for exploration, and this game has that in droves and then some.

Good stuff:
+ going "ah poo poo we never ended up going in this hole, did we?" and finding that last Dark Soul in an area
+ finding the second Violator and dual-wielding the supermachineguns
+ atmospheric as hell
+ the writing is over-the-top corny in just the right way
+ really like the overall progression
+ pacing super strong until the very end

Eh stuff:
- combat is p boring, most things have too much health and once you get the shield, it's basically solved
- no ingame map, eventually you'll just get lost as hell
- some obscure progression stuff we had to look up because we just didn't get it
- the real life locations suck. The Remaster added two new areas and I can see why they were cut in the original, but also the originally-there apartment complex for example is absolutely terrible to navigate, insanely boring (no enemies, just thousands of tiny rooms to get lost in) and the bosses at the end are mountains of HP and zero fun to fight

Generally a strong recommendation to try out when it's one sale, of the 26 hours we played we had great fun for at least 20 of them, the rest were getting lost and refighting boring enemies. I'll take that ratio any day for such a cool-looking game, very strong art and design that still holds up.

the n64 version ive had since i was a kid came with a physical map

Majora's Mask 3D - kind of hard to play on a tiny screen with the tiny thumb stick at times. The dungeons are mostly good but the bosses are bad except for the first and last one. I didn't collect all the jinjo fairies or do any side-quests (I deal with too many npc's in real life.)

decided to play sidequest: the game but im far too busy to do any sidequests so i just pumped through the story mode. honestly the game felt a little thin, they really could have built a deeper world there but i guess they buried it under optional lore

Wario Land - Super Mario Land 3

Started this yesterday on a whim. Its alright but theres so much poo poo that annoyed me that i dont feel like replaying it to find the missing treasures, especially after one involved going through an invisible door indicated only by a breakable block. most arent that bullshit but that kinda thing bothers me. I lost 2 to game overs.

heres my ending tally

Mostly waiting to get to the fireworks factory that are Wario Land 3 (the one i played but never beat, and also much better imo) and Wario Land 4
