Yakuza Kiwami isn't exactly a fun game. It's a game that leverages many different things, in small amounts, to pull the player through. It's a bit funny, its combat is a bit good, its narrative is a bit engaging, and its cutscenes are a bit long (this last "bit" is sarcastic; the cut-scenes are very long). Yes, I finished the game, so it has to have some merits. But I won't be playing any of the other Yakuza games.

The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is here and it is amazing. But, having not played the orignal since I was a child, I was surprised by the story. It's,well, it's pretty sad.

This last few years of amazing game releases has pushed Super Metroid down a few spots. But it's still one of the very best video games of all time.
