Adventure Story (PC, 2019)

When I got my GPD XD+ last year, one of the goals I set for myself was to start completing games. There are still a lot of games I started playing without ever finishing them. Alongside my spreadsheet to keep track of my lengthy backlog, I started using HowLongToBeat. I used the site in the past, but only to see how long a game was. One day I clicked on the forum tab out of curiosity and noticed the blog section. At the time there were probably around seven different blogs; all made for the purpose of reviewing the games in that user's backlog. One I would read a lot was a blog by someone named letstalkaboutdune. I'm not really sure what about it caught my eye (maybe the name?), but his blog was a big inspiration for me to start mine. I even ripped him off in a lot of ways. Just put one of my reviews next to his and you'll see the resemblance. Especially with the older ones... Anyway, I found out that he made a game demo and thought why not review it?

Ys II Chronicles (PSP, 2009)

At long last, I finally beat Ys II! The review of the first game was written last April (I switched blogs), and I intended to write the review for Ys II not long after. But here we are in February of 2021. Looking through my old posts, I originally started the game around the time I posted the Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores review. Because many things have happened in my life since May, I stopped playing and didn't pick it up again until November. Even though I didn't get far the first time, I restarted the game to remember everything.

The World Ends With You (NDS, 2007)

Rating: 9/10
The World Ends With You is a game that’s been in my radar for years. I never owned a DS, but back in 2015/2016 I finally played it due to emulation. I never did get far or finished it back then, so my heart has been aching to return to this unique DS title. Now I have an ordered backlog and neat little blog to give my thoughts on. Now it’s 2020, TWEWY has been ported to mobile devices, and the Nintendo Switch, but there’s something compelling to me about the original gameplay. The two screen mechanic is just interesting and more unique than what Square did with the other versions.
