Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Beat 007: First Light. IOI knocked it out of the park with this one, it’s easily a GOTY contender. They did an amazing job of modernizing the series/character. The gameplay feels like a really fun mix of Hitman and Uncharted, and the story is boldly topical. I’m excited to see more from them. 040 0

Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Beat PRAGMATA. It’s quite excellent, it has some of the most well thought out, synergistic gameplay systems of any game in recent memory. The narrative felt a little thin but was still effectively told and pulled at the ol’ heart strings in all the right ways. 140 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Beat Metroid Prime 4 today. I enjoyed it overall, but it’s definitely got some flaws. Structurally, it feels a lot more like a OoT-style Zelda game than it does a Metroid game. A bit too linear IMO. It also has more of a narrative focus than previous titles, but I found the writing to be lacking. 100 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Saw Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc today. Absolutely perfect, 11/10, firing on all cylinders. The animation, direction, soundtrack, and performances were all amazing. I could not have asked for a better adaptation of this part of the story. 000 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Beat Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. Lotta ninja games lately! Much like its contemporary, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, this is an excellent revival of a dormant 2D action-platforming franchise. It’s gorgeous, feels great to play, and doesn’t demand too much of your time. 220 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Beat Ninja Gaiden II Black. I prefer this one’s linear action-focused approach over the previous game’s action-adventure direction. It also feels a lot better to play, though the story is somehow even more incoherent. That stairway fight, though. That was some sick shit. 020 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 11/08/2025“Ragebound” is a great subtitle for this game because it perfectly describes how I felt while playing it. Salty remarks aside, this is a great action-platformer. Great art & music, mechanics that are easy to understand but difficult to master, interesting stage and boss design. I liked it a lot. 020 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Beat Death Stranding 2! Like the first game, it kind of lost me around the 70% mark but brought me back around with the finale. I still have some gripes, but I enjoyed it overall. 110 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Also I forgot to post about it but I played Raidou Remastered! I cant speak to its qualities as a remaster because I never played the original, but I enjoyed it! The translation of SMT mechanics into a real-time action combat system was interesting & still provided a decent challenge. I love Gouto. 010 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Beat Donkey Kong Bananza earlier! Another strong GOTY contender. Tons of fun, interesting mechanics, and feels great to play. I loved watching DK and Pauline’s relationship develop and the big finale is just as amazing as everyone says. Glad to see the big guy make such a triumphant return. 000 0

Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I get what you’re saying, but it’s important to note that the $25M figure is just the Steam numbers 140 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Yeah, this is an all-timer. It’s firing on all cylinders from beginning to end; an original, beautiful work of art made by a team of true creatives. I’m so glad that a game like this can exist in current times. For those who come after. 010 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Oh yeah, I finished my rewatch of Trigun. There’s a lot of shows I watched/games I played around the time I was in middle school that I enjoyed but didn’t “get” on any meaningful level. This is one of those. Glad I returned to it, it’s a really beautiful story at its core. Love and peace ✌🏻 110 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Oh yeah, I finished season 1 of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End recently. Not much to say about it except that it’s really good. Frieren and Fern are cuties. Ubel leaves me scaroused. If you like fantasy stuff, consider giving it a go. I’m excited for season 2. 020 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Watched Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. I think I liked this one even more than the first. Loved what they did visually, especially with the northern frontier. And that whole sequence in the mansion w/ Kim was a total mindf*ck in the best possible way. Very, very good film. 010 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Nooooooooooo www.fromsoftware.jp/duskbloods/a... From the game’s website (translated): 020 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Watched Ghost in the Shell (1995) It was very, very stylish. That intro with the Major activating her camo is gonna stick in my head for a long time. Honestly, I feel I need to watch it again. It seems like so much happened in a mere 90 min. One of those films that really hits the ground running. 110 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It was…mostly fun? The moment-to-moment combat is where it really shines, but I think a lot of the levels, enemies, and especially BOSSES, were poorly designed. It’s also got that typical unwieldy 6th gen stiffness in the controls, which was often frustrating. 220 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Finally beat Dragon Quest III HD-2D. What a game! A gold standard for RPGs for sure. I wasn’t expecting an NES game to have such a poignant story, especially considering that your party members aren’t actual characters per se, but following in Ortega’s footsteps was actually really compelling. 040 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Tenchu: Stealth Assassins! Hell, I don’t even need a remake necessarily, I would happily take a new entry. I just need more stealth games and more ninjas. Nothing is cooler than ninjas. 000 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Cleared Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. The story in this one was pretty simple, to the point of feeling a little dull. It seemed pretty difficult at times, but also really easy at others? The final boss was a cakewalk, but if I never see another sleep or berserk staff again it’ll be too soon. 100 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 01/01/2025God Wendy is such a trash ass unit. Wtf is this stat spread? Your brother was right, you shouldn’t have joined the army. 000 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Beat Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. It’s very technically impressive for a GBC game. I really enjoyed it, though I felt that the last few stages were a bit annoying. 100 0

Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I’m replaying Metal Gear Solid 2 thanks to a certain someone 👀 I don’t really eat while I play. Partly to avoid getting my controller dirty, partly because I’m too focused on the game to take my hands or eyes off it 😂 020 0
Jay @jay-rpg.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I’ve only played the original and a bit of Chaos Theory, but I really enjoyed them! If it comes back, all I’d really want is for them to focus in on the stealth gameplay. One of the things that stood out to me about the first game was how mechanically rich it felt. I want to do stuff like this! 110 0
