when thinking about games' expression through difficulty, you might think of games that push back strongly against you in a really interesting way. but MOTHER does so through softening its genre's difficulty, and results in something i found extremely special: faearie.neocities.org/posts/2025-0...

Metroid for tiny baby children is pretty neat! Though none of the immediacy (platforming or combat) is ever particularly interesting, the game breaks open in a cool way after getting the wallclimb. There’s a (at least theoretical, cause I haven’t played enough recently to have seen this much) problem with these really strong movement powerups where, if you get them too early, later levels have to warp themselves around that ability, making it feel less like a strong powerup and more like a Standard Part Of Your Moveset – I think Hebereke’s brevity lets the wallclimb feel really cool for the whole game, both because nothing supersedes it and because it’s a fun tool to awkwardly shimmy around and ‘break’ platforming challenges that were tricky until you got it, and I think the sections around the time you get it really emphasise that. Although later sections do still fall into that aforementioned problem a little, both from having less straightforward platforming sections and by sidelining it for a different (imo far less interesting) powerup later on. But it’s cool! I wasn’t enjoying the game that much until I got the wallclimb, and enjoyed it enough to wanna plow through until the end. I also think an exploration-focused game is such a good outlet for SUNSOFT’s insane late-NES presentation – NES and GB/C are probably my two favourite consoles ever presentationally, and both of SUNSOFT’s NES games I’ve played are really some of the best I’ve seen. Also the final boss was sort of fucked up massively for being a boss you have to run back to and pick up potions for every time you die, but every time I dodged a weird situation by crouching it made me feel so cool. Same feeling as dodging by morph balling in Metroid. My favourite part is the bit where you have to slowly and excruciatingly bomb through five layers of blocks and if you miss the next two jumps you get sent back to the start of the area and have to do it all again. They got bad Mario Maker levels in 1991

STREETS OF RAGE 2
As someone whose perception and processing has always been bad, and has felt the consequences of that harder than ever this year, it’s really, really comforting to have a wonderful, difficult action game that’s just this slow; this is an action game where I can very easily see and process every single situation, and make immediate sense of every hit I take. It’s a really cool game as well, one focused almost entirely on positioning and crowd control almost like a puzzle: understanding which enemies are most threatening and how a group’s threat ranges overlap in order to know which enemies to prioritise with which moves, while avoiding getting surrounded, overcommitting to something, or picking the wrong options for the situation (or alternatively, just pressing Axel’s dash attack an awful lot). I’ve been calling this “the world’s most fucked up neutral” in my head a lot, and I think that especially sticks out with the bosses: having to play slow and patient and basically whiff-punish enemies with ridiculous movement or damage, or that just have abilities that nothing else in the game can do. I’m also a big fan of how meaningfully different the game feels in 2p compared to 1p: in particular, I felt my usual footsies vs bosses just wasn’t as applicable due to all the natural consequences of it having two targets to focus on, rather than one. Having to actively mind your positioning compared to your partner is fun, as well; it’s very Monster Hunter, or maybe Monhun is very multiplayer beat em ups… (it’s more interesting here though :p) It’s a bit too long for me (1hr+) to ever really want to commit to a full run without a friend tethered to me, but it’s fun enough to where I’ve been playing lots by myself anyway, and just going for as long as I feel like. I started playing on the hardest difficulty before I had even cleared the game before, and being able to have genuinely difficult encounters straight out of the gate cemented that I just really, really love this game

I tend to completely forget the existence of a lot of games I get interested in, so I've been making lists to help jog my memory. But compiling big and tangible lists like that makes it feel a bit too much like Backlogging... and I feel that future me will get demotivated looking at these cause --

axel streets of rage 2 using dash attack on absolutely fucking nothing. it is very honourable. some speculate that axel uses this technique to locomote as opposed to walking

came up with a new backloggd rating system that goes "cool non-default boxart" > "default boxart" > "stupid collector's edition box art that shows nothing but preorder bonuses". what does faea think of games with non-default boxart that's just a lower quality ver of the default? who's to say, really

i have one writeup that i could probably push out in a week or so, but it's one i started writing in like september, so i feel very disconnected from the ideas i had back then, even though there's no real reason i should feel any different about the game in question now. i wanted to push it out--
