It's weird. You don't control movement or basic attacks, only special attacks. Meanwhile, special attacks are inflicted on all but one of your party, and you use that info to determine who's the traitor. I wonder if this was designed for FE Heroes, but they decided to spin it into its own thing.

What.

@aspyr.com, not exactly a good sign.

"[Enhanced and Classic modes are] not a toggle, though, like some other remasters. They're two distinct versions of the game and don't share save files." So I have a whole other version of FFT to play even after I finish the Enhanced mode. Yeeeeeeeeees. Man, I'm so hyped for this release.

Boss defeated, location cleared. To hell with that whole poison mechanic.

As much as I’m enjoying Silksong, the entirety of Bilewater, boss included, is enough to comfortably remove the game from my GOTY running. Nothing about that swampy hellhole is any fun.

I’ll wait to hear how much of Metroid Prime 4 requires exploring that barren desert before losing my absolute shit like Reddit has.

Given that PS5 Pro was sold on making Rebirth play at a decent resolution and frame rate, I’m super curious how it’ll look on Switch 2.

Who doesn't want to pay $50 a year to play Virtual Boy?

Seemingly set in the world of Three Houses. I am SO EXCITED for this.

LACKLUSTER STREAM REDEEMED.

!!!

Ys I is finished. Moving onto Ys II. I'm hoping for an improvement.

She still lives! 🎶

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 29 ~ Rock On! Island (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: Fight off prehistoric foes while upgrading Zola and her tribe with meat in this Tower Defense title. That final stage is a big difficulty jump.

I pray that happens to this sweet musical child.

Great Lakes.

How do we convince LEGO to release Beast Wars Transformers sets?

I'm cautiously optimistic about 007 First Light, but more than anything, it makes me want to play more Hitman World of Assassination.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 28 ~ LEGO Island (1997) / Computer: Clunky, awkward, and shallow. Regardless, I was overwhelmed by nostalgia, from the tiny island to the repetitive jobs. Hey, it was amazing when I was younger.

I’m rather excited for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. I bounced off the series years ago, but I’ve learned more since. RPGs heavy with stories that built upon the world with each subsequent title sounds so appealing. Reminds me of long-running series of novels.

Hell yeah!

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 27 ~ Porgy (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: An undersea Metroidvania that involves improving the sub for longer dives is inspired, but low movement speed and lack of bases hurts the pacing.

Get the fuck out of here with these officials at the Michigan/New Mexico football game. Bullshit targeting followed by overlooking a clear incomplete pass.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 26 ~ Mooncat (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: A serene platformer with odd controls and a walking vegetable. Portals lead to more than 40 single-screen stages and one of three endings.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 25 ~ Vainger (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: If Metal Storm was a Metroidvania. Explore by reversing gravity and collect upgrades with multiple effects. A perfectly decent adventure.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 24 ~ Night Manor (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: A horror-themed point-and-click Adventure that's fairly brisk and doesn't require a lot of heavy thinkin'. A bit lacking in character, though.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 23 ~ Velgress (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: Ascend four vertical shafts teeming with dangers, including a spiked roller at the bottom. Simple and fun, along with difficult and satisfying.

Lookin’ pretty, Chicago.

Getting ice cream in Chicago. Couldn’t resist the turtle. 🐢 (Shout out to Margie’s Candies in Ravenswood.)

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 22 ~ Ninpek (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: A decent horizontal autoscroller shooter. Simple and challenging, but also short with a single boss. Given the lack of saves, that's not a complaint.

Awesome! I'm thrilled that more people are able to enjoy this excellent SRPG. I still need to replay it for the golden ending.

I should be interesting to see how Indiana Jones adapts graphically to Switch 2.

Kirby Air Riders isn't my cup of tea (although I'd absolutely play a demo if one becomes available, which it won't), but I'm glad that people seem positive towards the game.

An important PSA to everyone: PayPal recently got hacked and someone obtained millions upon millions of emails and passwords and is selling them online. I suggest that you change your PayPal password as quickly as possible

It’s (apparently) #BlackCatAppreciationDay, therefore you MUST witness the void! (Thanks up for the heads up, @jessicavotaw.bsky.social!)

I have, yes! I've also considered suicide. Both sound equally as enjoyable.

Just a Johnny Cash sort of night.

I'll second that request.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 21 ~ Warptank (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: Teleport between opposite surfaces, similar to Metal Storm, in this puzzle-platformer with plenty of level gimmicks. A decent length, too.

Animalize an athlete. Tiger Woods. ...Oh, wait.

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 20 ~ Camouflage (UFO 50) (2024) / Nintendo Switch: A fun puzzler about blending in and avoiding predators. Not too difficult and can be completed in mere hours, leaving me wanting more.

*finishes demo* Ah, so that's why people are excited for Mina the Hollower.

I know that I’m not saying anything that hasn’t already been said plenty of times, but UFO 50 is damn good.

A bit of a pricey day, but I’m not complaining! 😄

Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for UFO 50 to hit consoles. I’m so in! (Also that Mina the Hollower demo.)

~ 2025 Game Completions ~ 18 ~ Donkey Kong Bananza (2025) / Nintendo Switch 2: A fun exploration-based action-platformer with destruction that stayed fun. Camera was a bit cumbersome, though. Pauline is too adorable.

Behold! The source of all destruction!
