Ikaruga

This game sucks

Game no: 320

Genre: Shooter

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Release Date: 2018 (2001 on the Dreamcast)

What is it about?

I have no idea. Bad guys attacking a place and ship comes to destroy them

What I liked?

There is a freeplay mode since you be dying a lot. 

The 2 different shields that makes you constantly have to change between red and blue shields to avoid the weapons fire

What I didn't liked?

Everything else. The game is not that fun since you keep on dying more times than you can count.

No idea what am shooting at most of the time.

Status: Finish the 5 stages in around 2 hours 

Fun Factor: Not fun at all. Unless you are glutton for punishment 

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

The game is satisfying hard

Game no: 319
Genre: Platformer
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release date: 2018 (2014 for Wii U)



What is it about?
A group of frozen pirates came to Donkey Kong country and its up to the DK family to stop them.

What I liked?
The platforming is enjoyable and fun/ It's difficult and challenging but rewarding when you get to overcome it.
Each island has a different aesthetic to it. From the ice island, lava island as well a island that is filled with fruit.
Funky mode gives an added boost for those who find the platforming difficult. It adds extra hearts and skippable stages if  it gets too hard
Diddy, Dixie and Cranky will add extra hearts and boost Donkey's abilities. Diddy can hover, Dixie can make you fly a bit higher and Cranky can jump higher over obstacles
Funky Kong has a shop that provide extra abilities such as lifes and hearts incase you get stuck.
Mine carts and rocket barrels are lots of fun

What I didn't like?
The bosses are hard. They require more than 15 hits and their patterns keeps on changing. The fish and monkey boss are the hardest ones.
Grabbing is a hit or miss. Sometime it works, sometime doesn't
The letter KONG and the puzzle pieces are not so easy to obtain. It does provide challenges for those who wants more

Status: Finish the game till island no 6

Fun Factor: A fun single player game. Worth to be played wwd

Final Fight 2

I can't believe this was a genre during the 90s

Game no: 318
Genre: Action (Beat em up)
Platform: SNES
Release Date: 1993



What is it about?
Haggar daughter has been kidnap and it's up to you and a group of friends to travel around the world to stop them.

What I liked?
Fighting seems to be on par with most games during that time. Its so satisfying to hit someone and execute a special move when you are surrounded

What I didn't liked?
Everything else in the game sucks. The movement is slow. You keep fighting the same enemies over and over again. The fighting is repetitive. You are stuck going from point A to B until you clear to whole area.
The reason why I kept playing is just to see what is the story about. The last boss is a character that eventually made it to the Street Fighter seriies

Status: Finish the game

Fun factor: This game is slow and too repetitive. Can be avoided
