Interesting game, interesting vibes; very much perspective-based puzzling (isometric view).

Absolute classic and one of my all-time favourites. (Blue 96 is 100% on this version of the game).

Had never heard of this one but saw it in some old N64 magazines. Claimed to be Metal Gear Solid for N64 but that’s misleading; it has a more arcadey presentation and none of the story or characterisation. Still a fun playthrough (once you get past the early 3D controls).

I played on hard which was a good challenge, and I later discovered that I got the middle-of-the-road ending due to taking my sweet time.

First time playing: didn’t feel like a Super Mario World sequel but still fun; really interesting boss fights and some genuinely difficult parts, especially the extra levels.

Good atmosphere and fun to play; didn’t love the end segment though. I only played through as Carnby but will probably play through again as Aline sometime in the future.

A really fun action RPG that’s enjoyable to play and is filled with a ton of cool pre-rendered backgrounds, though I wish there was more interaction with them (just fluff like describing the books on the shelves or the smell of the vials on the desk).

The companion AI can be a little dense at times — requiring some micro-management to get them into the fight proper — but not to the point it detracts from the experience.

I’ve attached screenshots of some of my favourite screens.
