MISC. :

---

Most difficult/irritating game you still like :
All of the Megaman Games I own (7, 11, X, Maverick Hunter X and Battle Network), Sly 3 and 4. I swear a lot on those XD Also, Sound Voltex , Groove Coaster and Mad Rat Dead because rhythm games. Also DJ Hero on most difficult levels, the Shin Megami Tensei serie because Atlus and oh. The first Trauma Center on DS, another Atlus game, is genuinly difficult but this intro is absolutely badass as heck ! And Pocket Card Jockey, Game Freak is perfectly able to develop difficult but cool games. Same for any Puyo Puyo games

Game or series with the best story/writing :
Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick, World End Club, Professor Layton, Trauma Center/Trauma Team, Danganronpa, Persona 5 Royale and Strikers, Master Detective Archives Rain Code, The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog. Also Sonic Unleashed and Frontiers imo.

Overrated game (to you, but also please be polite) : If it was 2010, I would say First Person Shooters, but now, it’s Open Worlds in general. Especially Rocktar games even if they are pretty cool in their own way.

Underrated game most people don’t like/haven’t heard of :

Oooh I have a few to name !

• Ghost Trick Phantom Detective (DS/Switch. A banger of a mystery/puzzle game by the creator of Ace Attorney ),

• Trauma Team (Wii. Never released in Europe and sold badly overseas even if very well received critically speaking. It’s a game made Atlus, the same behind the Persona serie and the latest entry in its own game serie : Trauma Center. It’s a medical/mystery game (nothing gore or squeamish in it !) with a comic / manga aesthetic where you switch between multiple specialities save characters lives)

• DJ Hero 1 and 2 (Guitar Hero but EDM with turntables ? It exist on Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 ! Same as the game listed above, sold badly but very cool rhythm games with an unique gameplay. You can also add the well-known guitar from GH One Tour and the mic to play with friends ! The first game have a strong Jet Set Radio-like aethetic and the second have a better gameplay, especially on the freestyle part)

• Master Detective Archive : Rain Code (Switch). Absolute banger of a mystery game by the creators of the Danganronpa serie ! The wacky writing is still there and in full force too, along with an original gameplay !

• Any Game Freak game that isn’t Pokemon : Drill Dozer (GBA), Pulseman (Megadrive), Harmo Knight (3ds), Pocket Card Jockey (3ds, Switch, Apple Arcade). You have a plateformer with a pink-haired girl in a mecha with giant drills and you destroy everything, a fusion between Sonic and Megaman that Pokemon always make reference of in a way or another, a plateformer rhythm game where every sound is in tune with the song, a fusion between solitaire and horse racing, Never played Giga Wrecker and Tembo thought ^^

• Umbraclaw (Switch, Steam, PS5). A game by Inti Creates, the same behind Megaman Zero, ZX and 10 with a pretty original gameplay mechanic around the character’s nine lives and three different forms.
  Wacca, an arcade rhythm game with an original interface. It’s not really known outside japan though

• AI : The Somnium Files and its sequel, Nirvana Initiative (Switch, PS4, PS5, Steam). A pretty unique visual novel mystery game, made by the same behind the Zero Escape serie, where you play as an amnesiac detective, Kaname Date and his AI assistant, Aiba, residing in his high-tech prothesis eye. The two solves mysteries by entering other people's dream and "mental realms" called Somnium. It's like if Danganronpa, Zero Time Dilema and Psychonauts fused together. And oooh boy does this game know how to be serious, emotionnal and funny as heck. And its gameplay based on multiple endings is very clever. Its humor can be... something and not everyone cup of tea, but the story and characters are all very endearing !

And I could go with more of those again :,)

Game you cried over :
Mmh… Persona 4, Persona 5, Trauma Team, World End Club, One Shot, Ace Attorney 5 and Pokemon Violet

Game you cheered over : A lot :)

Game that you’ve put way too many hours into : Persona 5, Legend Pokemon Arceus and Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection

Want to play/in your backlog :

Umbraclaw’s full version, Gunvolt 3, Virtue Last Reward, Devil Survivor 1 and 2, Metroid Prime Remastered, Duck Detective The Secret Salami, Sound Voltex Exceed Gear, Astro Boy Omega Factor, Megaman Powered Up, World End Club

Want to play but don’t own :
Megaman 8, Persona 3 Reload, Wacca (I don’t have an arcade machine X)), Pokemon Collosseum, Metal Gear Solid the Twin Snakes, NiGHTS Journey Into Dreams, Monster Hunter III, Megaman ZX and Starforce, .//hack Infection, Monster Boy Remastered, Freedom Planet 2, Shantae and the Pirate Curse

Game you tried to play but gave up on : Undertale, Megaman Battle Newtork 4 on virtual console, Trauma Center Under the knife on DS

What’s the typical rating of games you play :
hello fellow europeans ! I playgames of all rating but most frequently PEGI 3 to 16. It would be the equivalent of the ESBR E to T+ for America. Rarely, there is some PEGI 18 /Mature-rated games in my colection (Persona 5, Danganronpa, Judgement, Lost Judgement, Assassin’s Creed Origins)

Funniest example of video game logic to you :

Super Paper Mario when the characters tells you the controls by telling Mario that « the being that watch them from another dimension will understand » or Mother 3 temple where the game ask your name as a player. Oh, Sonic casually going out when left idle for too long in Sonic CD letting a immediate Game Over afterward.
I like when characters break the fourth wall in a fun way
