SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 5mGood point with Xbox’s approach in the 360 era, it does feel better when it’s like “hey technical hurdles happen and we can’t make it perfect, but in a pinch if you wanna play your game, you’re totally able to”. 000

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I promise I’ll play this one per your recommendation, tbh it’ll probably be a 2027 play for me tho 010
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I own this game, can’t wait to play it! Should probs finish the Prime trilogy before playing some ass 000
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thought about not logging this game for my annual game list, but it definitely *is* a video game, and one that I reasonably finished and experienced. I’ve played games that are less “game” than this, and games that are less interesting than this. 010
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 08/10/202626. The Onion Voting Simulator 3D (Web, Mobile) Just played through @theonion.com’s new game, which is exactly what you’d expect it to be. Its on-brand sense of humor makes it a worth while play for any fellow fans of The Onion, especially for the few minutes it takes to see everything. 110

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Trying Resident Evil Zero again and I’m gonna do my best to finish it finally, but I’m not getting into it like I do with almost every other RE game. Maybe it’ll click with me as I keep playing? 020
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 06/10/202625. Star Fox (SNES) I always looked at this game like it was an early 3D novelty but was very happy to discover that this game rocks. Very impressive how much fun it is and how much personality it has with such primitive 3D tech. Also may be a top 5 hardest games I've finished? 3rd level is crazy 😭 010
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Game’s really good tho, very impressive how much fun it is and how much personality it has with such primitive 3D tech. A game like this could’ve very easily fumbled in the hands of a lot of development studios from the time. 020
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Been playing through SNES Star Fox and was 🤏 this close to finishing yesterday, but took a hit during the Route 3 Andross fight while it was transforming into the cube thing for the last time. Shit is so hard 😭 120

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 28/09/202624. Gravity Rush (PS Vita) Cool game like nothing else I’ve played. Nice presentation and I love the writing. I wish the gameplay was move varied, and I’m surprised that this was as action heavy as it was. I would’ve thought gravity would be used for puzzle-oriented gameplay. 011
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 24/09/202623. Strider (Xbox 360) It’s alright but I wish it leaned more into being a Metroidvania, since it had a big open world with cool upgrades but not enough puzzles to use upgrades on or cool bonuses that made me want to go out of my way for. At least the movement and combat were tight af. 010

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 14/09/202622. Resident Evil 5 (PS4) Definitely deserving of its reputation. It's RE4-2 in the good and bad. It doubles down on the action focus and does so well. Combat is very fun and the bit of co-op I played was sweet. Still a shame it shied so far from the RE horror roots. Overall a good and fun game. 020

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Happy to report this game also has tons of accessibility options and is built for potato PCs. That is, in @quest64official.bsky.social's definition of potato. I ran this on a older office (Linux) PC with no graphics card and this ran beautifully. Amazingly optimized, play this at your local library. 120
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 01/09/202621. Duck Detective: The Secret Salami (PC) A tight 2 hour experience with excellent detective gameplay and incredibly charming art, writing, and voice acting. It's a game I could easily recommend to anyone. It also contained lots of 100% true duck facts on the loading screens. Check this one out! 120
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I only realized once looking for these images that Rhythm Heaven Megamix never got a physical release in the US. Really sucks that there's no way to get this game legitimately anymore in the States. Good thing it's easy to hack a 3DS 🤷 020
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 30/08/202620. Rhythm Heaven Megamix (3DS) Fun and challenging, but only in its second half. Game takes too long to get fun (also no thanks to the forced story elements), but once it ramps up the difficultly and throws Remixes your way it finally clicked with me. Not my favorite game, but it's worth trying. 120

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 22/08/202619. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis) Mostly the same as the Game Gear version I played back in 2024 but with some extra polish and pre-round dialogue from opponents in the single player mode. It's an excellent puzzle game for multiplayer, but solo it's pretty unremarkable. 010
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 22/08/202618. Ristar (Genesis) Easily my favorite Genesis game now. Sonic 2 and 3&K are good, but I much prefer Ristar's level design, boss fights, and approach to level secrets. Its excellent graphics and visual effects, music, and charm are also peak. The planet complete sequence is sooooo good 🔥🔥🔥 020

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 12/08/202617. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (PS4) Extremely average game that was obviously born from the PS3/360 generation. It’s good and serviceable, but nothing extraordinary (good or bad) here. Unfortunately for me I’d take a flawed but interesting game over a game that plays it so safe like this. 010

SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I keep thinking about my opposite experiences with this and Parasite Eve. I really didn’t like the beloved Parasite Eve that much. The vibes and presentation are amazing, but the game was not fun or interesting to me. MN9 is trashed online and the presentation is ROUGH, but the game is pretty fun. 020
SD_GeNo @sd-geno.bsky.social · 22/07/202615. Mighty No. 9 (Wii U) Maybe don’t play this on Wii U, but like, this is actually a good game that does cool things and is worth playing. There are obvious problems but there are worse games, including worse Mega Man games, that exist. Also, banger OST I can’t get out of my head. Real shit. 120
