Video Games 2016: From Best To Worst

Really good, not great. It feels like it's building to something, in terms of both gameplay and story, but it never really does. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of the end but it didn't feel like the right summation of what came before.

I should say, the gameplay mechanics never became expertly tricky or fun, they were always good, and the story builds and then kinda flatlines. It's the vogue thing in indie games now it seems.

Solid overall gameplay package. Nothing crazy new, and it never became an outright addiction for me, but I had my fun with it.

Alright so it has problems (or had more, now less). Battles still aren't right. But I haven't stopped playing it, at least in spurts. That says something right?

Really fun, and it's the right gameplay avenue for Mario mobile. 10 bucks is probably too much for this gameplay market but still. It's too fun to care. A bit disappointed in its longevity.

I enjoyed this but it has its problems. The gameplay mechanics never evolve and they don't always work very seamlessly. The story is pretty typical indie game stuff now -- that is overly sentimental to prove games have feelings too. But I'll be damned if still isn't a little bit touching and sweet.
