The game features real time 3v3 trainer battles, where each trainer only gets one "partner" Pokemon.

It's such a wild departure from what the series is known for, but at the same time, it's a satisfying distillation of one of the more fun aspects of it. It's a Pokemon game, only you can't explore or catch Pokemon. It's a mobile gacha game, only the gacha doesn't matter. Pokemon Masters could have been much different, and much worse than it ended up. But ultimately I think I expected too much of Minoria, and I'm not sure whose fault that is. The atmosphere is wonderful, and some of the animations on their own are very satisfying. There's little glimmers of hope here and there, tiny sparks of what made Momodora so enchanting. I honestly really wanted to like Minoria more, and maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but from the art style, to the animations, to the combat, it just left me wanting. The movement and look of everything feels at times jerky and unrefined, and at others extremely smooth. Enemies do far too much damage, or feel inconsequential. Minoria has charm, but something about playing it feels off. This gave me confidence that a new game by the same developer, in the same genre, would for sure be something I'd love, but. I think I put Momodora III on one of my previous lists that made it's way onto the site? But if not, know that I adored it. If you even need to be reminded in the first place. The gacha mechanics are also the most disgusting I've seen in a Nintendo mobile game, so only play it to remind yourself that Mario Kart can be great. Neither type of steering mode feels particularly good or fun, with one feeling too simplistic and limiting, and the other giving too much freedom and not fine enough control. I was excited for it prior to it's release based on the quality of the other Nintendo mobile games I'd played, but it's execution was just kind of off.

That's one of the only good things I can really say about it. Mario Kart Tour made it onto this list by reminding me that Mario Kart, real Mario Kart on switch, is actually a really fun and incredible racing game. This list is mostly on pure gut feeling, but left to simmer for about a week before I gave it another pass to see if I still felt the same way.Īlso shoutout to games like Slay the Spire, Disco Elysium, and Resident Evil 2, which I did not even get to this year and don't know when I will, but I just wanted to say, hey, shoutout.Īnyways, thanks for reading! i am on my laptop and don't have any screenshots, so enjoy this unrelated image.

I apologize in advance if these are too rambly or unrelated to the game itself. My life has changed a lot since I last wrote a game of the year blog, my last one being in 2015, and me basically uprooting my entire life in 2016 and starting fresh. reflective? To look at what games I like and why I like them I like to contextualize them within my life and explain my history with the game or genre. My style of writing these blogs is always very. So much so that I've included almost every game I played this year so that I can create a list of the top 19 games of 2019. This is one of those rare in-between times where I both played games this year and feel like writing a lot of words about each one. My game of the year lists on this site sometimes exist in list form, but other times they don't exist at all. I have played games and once again decided to write about them
