This is, I think, one of the best Metroidvanias of the last 15 years and you can EASILY finish it within this timeframe. Hell, you don't even need to feel bad about not paying Ubisoft, because they disbanded the team, anyway!! Also it runs at a (99% consistent) 60 FPS on Switch. Do it do it do it.

From a consumer perspective, Enigma is probably better. It's completely offline, no online license check, no activation limit. From a mod developer perspective I'd much rather have Denuvo. Enigma has much harsher anti-debug protection. Denuvo really doesn't get in the way of mod development at all.

Kirigirisō (PC) The final Kodaka story game I'd yet to play. Kyoko from Danganronpa & Kohei from Otogirisō explore a mysterious mansion in the woods. A decent bite-sized little mystery novel, but things devolve quickly after the first true ending & it's honestly not really worth playing past that.

Shuten Order (NS2) A love letter to the mystery VN genre with some of the most ambitious world-building in any Too Kyo game. You will probably hate at least one route, but the payoff is worth it every time. It is quite the time commitment though, and does feel like it drags on a little sometimes.

Hero of Law (Emu) True labor of love & must play for any Ocarina of Time & Phoenix Wright fan. The references in text, music, animation are on-freaking-point & had me laughing out loud constantly, and there's even an awesome new mechanic. Connecting Link's Awakening unlocks something truly special.

Dark Auction (PS5) The characters & plot are good, but man is the setting poorly handled. It's jarring to see a story based around Hitler have so little to say about WW2's atrocities; at best, it feels cowardly. Use of gen AI taints the game's visual identity even if some of it was patched later.

I've been working on a mod for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection that lets you swap music to your liking. You can set separate playlists per type of BGM, selectively choose Original or Arranged mix per individual track, change the Main Menu music and even play the DLC music in-game.

World's End Club (NS2) What appears at first to be a cutesy puzzle platformer turns out to be an amalgamation of Kodaka and Uchikoshi's greatest hits. Many ideas from their previous works make an appearance here, and it does feel a little derivative as a result, but it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2) I don't mind a linear Metroid, but MP4 purports to be an open world, yet is in fact even more handholdy than MP3. Not once did I feel challenged on navigational awareness because each level is a straight line. The GFX do be looking great though. 120 FPS is awesome.

ReCore: Definitive Edition (XSX) This game feels like a vertical slice that was stretched out to full length. Movement & combat are fun & feel good to play, but story is thoroughly lacking. Its best moments come after the credits, where it really does shine; sadly only for a brief, fleeting moment.

I never really checked, but Shooting Star - Misora Live Version and Shooting Star - Sonia Live Version do have some slight differences in the melody to accommodate the Japanese/English lyrics. Only in the Arranged versions, of course. Maybe these never were meant to get vocal versions after all?

Playing MMSFLC on Xbox for the heck of it, I'm actually surprised by how much better the Xbox platform is than PS. Screenshots immediately appear in a folder on my PC, back compat is amazing, you can cloud stream digital games you bought even on the cheap plan! And the streaming actually works!

Going to be slowing down a bit on the Star Force Legacy Collection mods for now, as I do have other stuff to work on. All the mods I've released so far are open source on GitHub, and the modding channel in TREZ Discord is pretty active, so stop by if you're looking to make your own mods.

The modding potential for Star Force Legacy Collection is kind of crazy. The game is a full native port to RE Engine down to the lowest level. None of that half-baked static recompilation crap from Battle Network Legacy Collection, this is a very comprehensive port indeed.

Finally got off my ass and finished the MMSF2 enemies pages for TREZ Wiki. www.therockmanexezone.com/wiki/Enemies... www.therockmanexezone.com/wiki/Bosses_... Fun fact, since the game prioritizes drops from G viruses, Mettenna is the first virus to have a location listed with 0% drop rate.

Seems that in Star Force 2, if you have any elemental search Sub Card active, the G Virus encounter rate is bumped up from 1-in-32 to 1-in-4.

I feel like if Digimon can pull this off, they'll have a huge edge over Pokémon. Pokémon is still lacking a mobile game that really captures the series' essence. Pokémon GO is a decent time-waster, but you just don't get that bond with your Pokémon, the experience of raising and training them.

That new DLSS 5 tech kind of looks good in the soccer game they showed tbh. Those games are always going for photorealism. You can see clear hints of improvement in the Starfield shots too. The RE9 Requiem and Hogwarts shots are easily the worst ones, idk why they made RE9 the posterchild for this.

Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen just being a thin wrapper around the ROM with no bells and whistles is... fine, but man, I'm spoiled by past rereleases and collections. Would've been nice to at least get a GBA filter or border or something. At least we get the IV Judge feature when HOME support launches.
