"The Baby"
somehow I actually finished 4 games 5 months into the year which is usually around my yearly total so I guess i'll make a post here
1. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (8,5/10)
I really liked this and it was an improvement over the first Like a Dragon in basically every way except unfortunately the story, it seemed fine at first and some of the Kiryu stuff hit the mood they were going for pretty well but the overall story just kinda felt like it fizzled out
2. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (7,5/10)
I was really in the mood for a game like this with the tons of different characters and base building and such even more so than I thought it would be so it really punched above that 7.5 for me but it felt flawed enough that I don't feel like I should rate it higher than that, from what I hear they're making another one so definitely interested in seeing how that turns out and hopefully we see some sort of release date for those Suikoden remasters soon as well
3. Sea of Stars (7,0/10)
I wasn't really planning on ever playing this to be honest but I started playing it on a whim and the combination of it looking pretty, having some nice music, and the short length of individual areas making it really easy to pick up and play it for a little while at a time did lead to me eventually finishing it. overall though I thought it was just kinda okay, not bad but not anything I feel particularly strongly about either which is pretty much how I thought I would feel about it
4. Hi-Fi Rush (9,0/10)
another game I started playing on a whim although this one I was vaguely planning on playing eventually( albeit the sort of vague plan that often never materializes) I didn't have a great first impression of it the first hour or so(very tutorially at the start plus the tone felt a bit too cheesy before I got used to the characters and it eventually shifted to more of an endearing feeling) but pretty much everything after that was fantastic
I actually just finished this one tonight so there's some postgame challenge kinda stuff I didn't really look at yet that i'll check out tomorrow but I don't anticipate that really changing how I feel about the game overall
