Played some of the Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX - wasn't really a fan. The redone art looks really nice but they didn't change the physics much at all, making the game really twitchy and frustrating to play in the year of our lord 2021. Alex Kidd is one of those series that I want to like, but apart from Shinobi World (which is about a 20 minute long game) and the first half of Lost Stars, isn't very good (and the less said about High Tech World - the americanization of Anmitsu Hime for the Mark III, the better).
Then I played Keio Yugekitai for Saturn. This is a platforming sequel to Keio Flying Squadron on SEGA CD. The pixel art in this is incredible, but the shitty music hurts it, as well as the super long levels with limited checkpoints. The game also glitched on me in one of the areas after I fell through the board, forcing me to reset and losing a ton of progress.
Also played through the Yuffie DLC for FF7r - was a bit disappointed it was set in Midgar, was hoping it was gonna be set in Wutai or a unique environment. As a whole it felt a bit bland. Fort Condor was a bit more fun than I was expecting, I never really cared much for the original or RTS/MOBA games in general.
And I also started on Yakuza 7 - my first Yakuza experience (about time!). Only in ch 3 so far (just made it to Yokohama) but damnnn, this is my kinda game! I love how some environmental characteristics subtly affect the battle - like when you attack if there's a sign nearby you will pick it up and attack with it, or if the enemy is up against the wall and you do a heavy attack, you can hit them against the wall and stun them. Also the most foodie-porn game since FFXV. Excited to play more!
