holy ship, mhrise is PEAK. maybe i have more fun than mhwilds!!!

tl;dr: fun for the first few hours, but then it feels super hollow, especially when it intentionally invites you to overstay.

みなさんこんにちは。私はまた福岡に来きました（だんだん家みたいですね…）

tl;dr: Nightreign should have been sold as DLC, dubbing “a roguelike boss-rush co-op expansion”, not as a standalone game.

Seven years.

First things first, let me clarify that I do love Hollow Knight. It’s one of the greatest indie games I’ve ever played.

So to Speak is a Japanese language-learning game where you have to match the correct word with its corresponding object. It is probably the best language-learning game I’ve ever played (take my words w/ a grain of salt anyway, since I’m not actively seeking language-learning genre in general.)

The game is potentially doing more harm than good.

The platforming is challenging and well-executed. The movesets are expressive and flow together into a smooth parkour sequence (albeit a bit floaty). If you’re coming for that alone, I’d say get the game – you won’t be disappointed.

the game is beautiful, that’s no mistaking it. but it seems like the dev focuses on miscellaneous aspects, instead of aiming for “education” as a main goal — see the DLC, that’s more “insta-filters” to beautify your photo, but no additional words to learn.
