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

hey everyone do you like my neutral
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

MARATHON
store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/...
After having played (and thoroughly enjoyed) seminal first-person shooters Doom and System Shock, it’s hard to not compare this to both: the enemy-dense projectile-dodging focus of the former lightly crossed with the pre-Y2K sci-fi aesthetic and heavier scenario focus of the latter. UNFORTUNATELY, it implicitly comparing itself to two of the coolest games ever is not the best look for it but there is a lot I like about it still. I really like that the levels are often really dark in a way that hides enemies, and the radar that tracks them isn’t that useful during a combat situation, but muzzle flash lights up the room fully for a complete second so certain encounters turn into trying to track enemies by using the light from shooting. I think the radar being sort of unreliable except for vaguely tracking faraway enemies is neat, and the combination of both gives certain encounters a neat level of depth I haven’t seen in other shooters. So it’s pretty unfortunate that the shooting bit is generally not very interesting. Every enemy type only really know hows to walk directly towards you and shoot you, and in tight, confined levels like the game loves to use, it’s predominantly a game about camping doors or hallways as everything filters through in single file. And by extension, the only way it can really up the ante is by having more – often exhaustingly more – stronger guys, or by ambushing you. The healing system also isn’t great: having it purely through free infinite healing stations both makes levels absolutely trivial and a little bit tiring once you find one – just run straight back whenever you get a widdle scratch – and often excruciating if you *can’t* find one quickly enough. Think I might have played this one because I saw people bigging up Descent a good while ago and they basically have the same boxart so I might have got the two mixed up. Oops!

METROID (NES)
This game is like so, so clearly awesome. Combat is defined by limitation: Samus starts off being unable to attack enemies on the same elevation as her, and quickly becomes able to do so albeit in a very slow and cumbersome manner. It’s really fun to see the bomb become a genuine core part of the moveset after feeling like a vestigial “bomb the walls” tool in like every other Metroid I’ve played, and it’s equally fun to see how both the beam upgrades are also defined by limitations, both able to do certain things very well that the other can’t. It’s grounded in a very intimate relation with the enemies themselves; rather than just feeling like flat strength upgrades, both had me going “oh, that’s how I deal with *those* guys”, then missing that strength dearly when I switched. It’s probably a testament to the strength of the enemy design as well, how each of them has a completely unique means of threatening your space. Bugs not respawning until their dropped items are picked up or respawned is my favourite little detail; never felt so cool for *not* picking up a healing drop. Exploration’s wonderful as well. Bit annoying at the start, before you catch onto the game’s tricks – a couple of moments did feel like bombing randomly at the start – but repeating rooms effectively telegraphing that if there’s a bomb block in a room, it’ll be there in *every* instance of that room made it super fun to hunt for the secrets in the back half of the game. And Lower Norfair is probably their admission that they thought that it was super awesome, too; that place is sooo silly and fun to navigate. Love how small and compact the map is as well. I’ve seen people talk about this like it’s a demonic evil thing where you have to draw out your own map on paper, but it’s really small enough to where it’s not so hard to vaguely remember where things are. then there's one hundred and eighty-two words of me talking about the 30hp respawn but i ran out of alt text space

LOOK OUTSIDE
Not the most robust Survival Horror nor Turn-Based Role-Playing Game, but its weaker points in both (extremely generous resources, low punishment for failure, very simple and ‘solvable’ combat/encounters) turn it more into a neat little optimisation game: wake up, figure out the missable events for the day, plan around those, run around the place, maybe die once or twice, and figure out the best, easiest way to approach each session – It’s Neat and Fun, if a little bit smooth and easy. The most interesting bit to me is how its aesthetic approach to cosmic horror grounds itself in normality, very clearly pulling from COVID lockdown fears – being forced to stay inside as those who don’t cause irreparable harm to themselves and others, having to manage basic needs like hygiene, mood and pastimes, feeling like the outside world’s coming apart as you can only interface with it through scrolling the internet. In both aspects – the gameplay and theming – it’s not really landed quiiiite as much as initial impressions had me hoping, but I liked it well enough.

BAROQUE SHOOTING
Got excited when the remaster got announced then remembered this is a video game I can just play already ANYWAY this is like the most okay shmup ever probably. Stages are like whatever except for stage 4 which is genuinely very cool. Bosses are also like whatever just throughout but there’s one boss with a gimmick and I thought that gimmick was cute. Extends come from scoring which is always fun, but scoring scales on a multiplier that increases for… not getting hit, so the way to recover from getting hit is to not get hit for a very extended period of time. Which is kinda funny. I think it’d work better if the game was much more difficult and longer, because getting the long survival and getting tons of extend % at once is really fun – though I’m not gonna complain about the length, because a ~13 minute runtime makes this thing soooo easy to play, and I think a game like this can still fit a million different ideas into ten minutes. Game floods you with infinite bombs and also a lot of extends near the end and the patterns aren’t ever that hard so it’s probably the easiest shmup ever I 1cced this in probably less than 10 plays and I am not that good at these
