(btw this doesn't apply to games where the movement is BUILT INTO THE GAME, isn't overpowered, and actually takes skill like Quake or Titanfall 2)

Join us as we delve into the "Other Side" of the Persona world that has an incredible story to tell! Can you escape nasty rumors becoming true in the forgotten Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment games, or is it already too late?

Also why is bowser hot and why am I jealous of luigi

Dear Reader who I shall never know, in your eyes, I know this game was ultimately a fiction. However, I hope you’ll follow us in our analysis and recounting of this fantastical adventure. I hope I will be able to reminisce and review what we saw together. Even if your journey is over, I hope you’ll still want to tag along. And, most importantly, with all my heart, I hope that fantasy will keep giving you strength.

This game is fun and has me hooked. I finished it after just a few days.

But the game feels incomplete and slightly rushed.

For example, as you progress through the game you can unlock new items to sell, but you unlock some items at the very end of the game, so it feels kind of pointless.

The fast travel system is not super useful as it takes you to places on the map that are kind of inconvenient and the games maps is small enough to just run to the destination just as fast in most instances.

The inventory management system is a bit annoying, you can only pick up stacks of 5 items. Not at the max, but at all. So if you just need to grab one apple to restock, you have to run back and forth to return the excess apples from the stack. You can also get into a situation where you don’t have a place to put an item down and need to trash it instead.

Money is never an issue in this game and there are perks to lower purchase prices, but it’s completely irreverent as you always have enough money.

The reward points you get to unlock things is also a bit pointless as you easy get so many of them that by the time you progress in the story and unlock the next tier, you can just buy everything right away.

The little town seems like there could be so much lore and things to unlock, but nothing happens. I assumed I was only halfway done the game when I finished it as there is so much left unresolved.

I assumed the game was made by a solo dev, but the credits rolled and I was shocked at how many people worked on this game.

So, while it was fun. I would not recommend buying it in its current state. I think it needs a few big dlcs before it can call itself a completed game.

Luigi's Mansion 3 was this close to greatness. Its first half is brilliant, with fantastic animations, its bursting at the seams with charm, great puzzles, a fantastic setting, and fun collecting. It's Nintendo at their best.

But as the game progresses, some flaws become more and more obvious. So much so that it kind of became annoying. It's also got one of the most annoying levels in a video game I've seen in over a decade. Despite this, its still an excellent game, just not as great as it could have been.

• Itch.io now blocks UK users from viewing NSFW game creator profiles, though some individual adult games remain accessible after age verification.
• The restrictions started in August and align with the UK's Online Safety Act requiring stricter age checks for adult content.
• Developers lose UK discoverability while players can't browse creator catalogs, forcing them to rely on direct links shared elsewhere.
