Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
I decided to download and play through Hi-Fi Rush because of a couple posters singing its praises in this thread. Holy loving poo poo those people were spot loving on. I played on Normal because I mostly wanted to rock out and see the story, and it was a breeze (I think I only died to the final boss), but I didn't care because I just had a goofy-rear end grin on my face for the entire playthrough. Everything about this game is just fun to play. Landing attacks on the beat feels great, listening to the music respond to your attacks and rock out more and more as your rating gets higher is a joy, the characters are likeable and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny... it feels like playing your favorite Saturday morning cartoon as a video game but aged up just enough to hit your adult mind in the perfect sweet spot. Play this loving game.

Finally got around to beating Metroid: Samus Returns after buying it when it was relatively new. It was...alright? Competently made but with a lot of small weird decisions throughout (maybe some of them held over from the original, which I never played). I think everything deals you just a tiny bit too much damage for how loose the controls can feel at times, and the upgrade/item management felt a little uneven. Also why do these games love throwing Power Bomb Expansions at you when the primary use for Power Bombs is to find more Power Bombs?

At any rate, one game down off my 3DS backlog. Only [does quick count] 20 to go? :negative:
Have you played Metroid Dread? Because in hindsight Samus Returns was basically a practice run for the studio and Dread feels like a perfected version of it.
