I haven’t even played that many JRPGs, and these are ones off the top of my head where you have some way to control character stats (beyond equipment choice):

I already have it on the Wii U, didn’t come with my Switch, and since I currently have no one to play it with, it doesn’t feel worth the money.

Yeah, my dream Harry Potter game was always basically “Persona with a Harry Potter” skin. Make me feel like I’m actually a student at Hogwarts, darn it! When I found out that this game was not going to remotely be that and instead another generic open-world RPG, I quickly lost interest.

I mean, I found both Skyrim and BOTW boring and painful to play. The controls were awful and the story and gameplay were immensely uninteresting to me. I feel that they both just throw out a ton of uninteresting content rather than actually giving you something interesting to do. And BOTW’s weapon durability system…

Apparently, Nintendo decided to abandon having more complex stories in Paper Mario games because respondents in a Club Nintendo poll said that they didn’t like the story in Super (I am not making this up. They said this in an interview). This is ignoring possible sampling bias and that a lot of people filled out the…

Super’s reception is generally more mixed than negative. Some people really liked it. Some people hated it. I liked it fine myself, but I consider the first two games to still be better. Even a lot of its detractors will acknowledge that the story was pretty good, though.

I own Super Lucky’s Tale and really need to try it. I’ve heard good things about it.

This is coming from someone who loved the Adventure style and generally prefers it to the Boost style (and would personally rank SA1 and SA2 over any boost game), but this is an unfair characterization of Unleashed, Colors, and Generations, all of which did have a sizable amount of platforming in them. If you just held…

Again, I don’t dislike these genres to be cool. I just don’t enjoy playing them. Other people like them and find an appeal in them that I don’t, and that’s fine. I acknowledge that Halo Reach, for instance, was a well-made game, but I just didn’t find it fun mainly because I’m really bad at it. I’m not better than…

Yeah, I agree with this so much. As someone who dislikes open world games, rogue-likes, Souls-likes, and any type of shooters, I have bounced hard off of a lot of games that most people call some of the greatest of all time, and I have tried most of these genres (technically not rogue-likes and souls-likes, but I hate…

Yeah, and the genres that I do like are mostly made by indie developers, or at the very least not AAA. Platformers and turn-based JRPGs are mostly being made in the indie sphere nowadays, with some limited exceptions.

Mostly just that these aren’t my genre (mostly platformers and JRPGs, with the occasional visual novel if the premise is interesting). Not liking rogue-likes, shooters, sports games, horror games, dating sims, open world games, or heavy-duty resource management pretty much kills most of these for me. The closest that…

The clickbait headline lies. None of these sounded remotely interesting to me, and I tend to play mostly indies.

Yeah, that’s not been my experience. At all. Quite the opposite, actually. Filled with people telling me I’m a loser for thinking that dying to a boss dozens of times isn’t fun or thinking that the combat is stiff and clunky, and how playing souls-like games makes them much better people than me. Or telling people…

I eventually got through it with fire. The consistent burning damage helped whittle away their health while I dodged their attacks waiting for an opening.

Some of the extra challenges in the levels are hard, too. I had a genuinely difficult time getting through the Twin Frosty fight on the bridge without getting hit.

I would actually argue that calling it an RPG would be more accurate than calling it open-world. You can upgrade Kirby’s copy abilities, which is definitively an RPG-esque element.

You can get Mean Bean Machine in the Genesis Collections on pretty much any modern console. Remastering it would kind of be pointless as graphics don’t really add much to that game. And to the extent that they do, you can just grab any modern version of Puyo Puyo, which it’s just a reskin of.

Let’s see, for me:

They do have Sonic CD in the collection. They’re counting Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles as one game for the count of 4 here. The four games included are Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD.
