I’m really looking forward to it! It’s been at the top of my queue since release and I finally lucked out.

39. I didn’t have much patience for the stealth-centric combat, bugs, and bullet sponges, but I’m glad I made it through. The set pieces and story were really cool.

Yeah it was really disappointing. I didn’t mind it being cancelled so much after that. Have you watched Side Quest?
December 3, 2025 at 6:49 AM
Did you see the ending that was in place before cancellation? (Apple actually let them go back and change the finale after cancellation… so that there’d be no cliffhangers.)

(The true ending’s after-credits song is amaazing though.)

38. Aside from the ending that totally derailed the story into an incoherent, headache-inducing mess, this was a pretty cool game. But it’s very, very slow.

37. Many years after release, the Switch 2 made the performance of this one playable for me. It’s a fantastic game, but of all the Zelda games I’ve completed, it’s near the bottom of the list.

The dearth of memorable music really hurt it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Even the end credits song feels generic and boring.

One question: Are we sure that Dick Honeywood wasn’t a pseudonym?

36. Very solid (heh heh) remake. Huge performance issues on PS5 pro.

Had a great time.

I don’t want to get anyone trouble but I want it to stop. There’s literally a code for the door in my instructions, and if they’d just left it inside the locked door, I’d be fine with walking to get it. I trust my neighbors but my mailroom is an extremely public place.

Agreed. Having a month and a half window of ineligible games makes it less legitimate

You can probably finish the story in 50-60 and not miss anything TOO important. It’s about the same length as the first one IIRC. Maybe(?) slightly longer.

It’s on sale in a lot of places now too. And folks need to buy it so we can get more remakes.

Like Xenogears.

Same. E33 was a bigger achievement for the developers and broke ground on something (arguably) new in a genre, bringing in so many new people. A lot like BG3, it changed things.

Death Stranding 2 was so polished and flawless though. It’s an impossible decision.

True enough. If you want an optimal party you need to use it.
November 17, 2025 at 2:50 AM
I don’t like dodge/parry but loved E33. I also never found it that difficult. There are ways to spec your party so that dodge/ parry isn’t that crucial, too

35. Always a classic. The script changes and voice acting made this game even better than it was.
