Silent Hill: Townfall ✅These are, legitimately, some of the most photorealistic environments I have ever seen in a game ✅Really Gets It (complimentary) 🚫Stealth often misses the necessary "tense/frustrating" balance 🚫Mostly plays it's hand too soon, so the last act is mostly something to Get Through

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker ✅It's kind of amazing how this was just a dry run at MGSV that shows up pretty fully formed ✅He's right: AI bad 🚫Most of the online features are perfunctory at best 🚫Master Collection remaster is passable, but lacks some of the nifty features of the MGS1-3 ports

Star Wars: Zero Company ✅Relatively accessible as an entry point to this subgenre tactical games. ✅A very charming cast all around 🚫Most Coil mechanics are weirdly somehow enormous handbreaks to the flow of kinda jank combat 🚫Way too many launch bugs, visual glitches, poor renders and freezes abound

my monthly facebook check-in reveals they're doing You Can Totally Revive Aerith like it's 1997 again

periodically i am presented with this video on my youtube homepage of a classic new zealand song with a thumbnail of the same quality as most of us hear it, distorted and muffled through a phone switchboard

MUTTONBIRDS - NATURE. The thumbnail has 10 whole pixels to it's name.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix ✅It's kind of astounding how well it holds up visually ✅A grab bag of 2001's coolest ideas 🚫Good lord is the combat janky in 2026, just comp'd to KH2 🚫Pacing issues in the middle kinda derail things for a spell and make a good case for fewer but intentionally designed worlds

Silent Hill ✅While still a little formless, there are so many cool ideas visually and at the edges that it's easy to see how it goes where it does ✅A testament to art and sound design 🚫Nightmare-level tank controls 🚫Most puzzles are of a difficulty level that does not match the rest of it

100

libertine hermit - ghoul mode @jondauthor.work · 08/08/2026

God Of War: Ragnarok ✅Damn, that's pretty ✅Combat just feels good 🚫Vastly too by-the-numbers, a handful of solid twists aside, leaving the story much plainer and less interesting 🚫Exploration feels like vastly more of a diversion, putting the main story on hold for stretches of time that *feel* long

God of War ✅Like it really is just as confident a reimagining as you could reach for. ✅A few wobbles aside, the pacing is pretty great. 🚫Main path vs side content difficulty is so wildly unbalanced when the side content is kinda story critical 🚫NG+'s constant Legendary Crafting Item pop-ups are ass

like it's genuinely silly they put all this effort into a fuckin' gacha game instead of an actual remake.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep ✅Benefits so much by just being a straight-to-the-point entry ✅The multi-character worlds get very smartly deployed 🚫Remaster is mixed 🚫Creaky aging bones

libertine hermit - ghoul mode @jondauthor.work · 03/07/2026

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Remastered ✅It does often look pretty spectacular ✅Most of the modernisations are seamlessly pleasant 🚫... But are maybe too few and far between, it's faithful to a fault 🚫PS5 visual bugs even in quality mode a year later feel like an abandoned port more anything.

100

libertine hermit - ghoul mode @jondauthor.work · 20/06/2026

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth ✅It plays great, feels great, looks fucking spectacular ✅What a fuckin soundtrack 🚫A few choices really blunt the meaner edges of the original 🚫Even on new game plus of a mostly 100%'d first playthrough, still a few too many diversions

Really, Instagram? There's AI info to view here? You think this might not be a real model?

007: First Light ✅Might be the first ever intentional Surf Dracula Fake Out ✅Does genuinely give a bunch of ways to approach things 🚫Forced combat sections are an interminable slog 🚫Performances and their implementation are mixed. Some troublingly absent charisma alongside weird static mouth flaps.

Final Fantasy VII ✅It's really a work of art how well this game learned the lessons of RPG world maps ✅You ever hear about thus Uematsu guy 🚫The modern port music bug is so fucking annoying 🚫God I would pay good money for this just rebuilt 1:1 on modern architecture, it's so creaky

Radical Dreamers -Le Tresor Interdit- ✅Wildly successful for something so simple ✅Just the right length 🚫Alternate ending methods are annoying as hell 🚫A few too many things run entirely on vibes

libertine hermit - ghoul mode @jondauthor.work · 14/05/2026

Chrono Cross ✅Genuinely the bleakest thing you could do to a beloved story, and it works ✅That fuckin' soundtrack is incredible 🚫Remaster efforts are a mixed bag. Some upres'd backgrounds are painterly, some are slop. FMVs are artefact hell 🚫Big choices like these are made for 8 hour games, not 40
