I uncovered a Mythril vein for the resistance to use! My reward: purchasing arms and armor made of Mythril at no discount.

I wasn't expecting a whole appartment filled with exposition for the story, but I guess it needed to happen.

It's possible to still be alive with two arms chopped off, leaving the player unable to do anything but headbutt!

This game is built around medieval combat, which is mostly melee but also has some ranged elements. While there's some interesting ideas built around deathmatch and objective based maps, ultimately the combat feels too loose in its hitboxes and the bots are too stupid to make objective modes possible in solo play. I can appreciate that this is doing something a bit different, but fundamental flaws with a setup that's unfriendly to beginners sinks this. D+

The penultimate bonus stage was a neat little Mario challenge with unlimited lives, but timed. Nice little tribute.

Sky: Children of the Light
The pain of life leads to the transcendance of rebirth. That strikes me as an ending most people do only once, since you basically lose it all!

Far Cry 4
The ending ran up on me faster than I expected, but I suppose there's post-game content. Game crashed trying to do co-op, so I'm done!

A nice gameplay refinement on the formula established in FC3, this includes fun things like elephants and gyrocopters. There's all the skill tree elements and upgrading arsenal to compliment the open-world action. Pagan Min is a highlight, but the story never really has the interest of FC3. There's some odd glitciness and side-missions are far too similar, but it's a solid example of the Ubisoft formula at its peak. B-

Majora hits like a bad trip in the first seconds of the game and it feels like the author (probably Takano) was struggling with depression at that time. The fairy change is symbolic, as Navi was a true companion and Tael begins the game as an accomplice in a literal assault agains't you.
Still, it tries something different and I feel I owe it a serious play as an adult. That game actually scared me when I was younger (lol) so perhaps this play will be different.
