Haunter12O 03/21/18 5:20:09 PM #16:	94. Super Mario Run Original Release: 2016 Developer: Nintendo Platform: Mobile As of this writing, I have just learned that there was an update to this game last year that added new content. I would rank this game higher had I known there was DLC earlier, but I'll try it out and maybe retroactively change the ranking in the future. Anyway, not much to say here. SMR was a cool concept that worked well, but the pricetag and the fact that there were only 24 levels wasn't too thrilling. As a result, the game came and went. I paid $9.99, ran through the levels, and then never touched the game again. I hope Nintendo starts releasing more mobile games because I will probably never own another Nintendo console. I say probably because I may buy one for my kids in the future, but for now I have no interest in buying a Switch unless someone convinces me otherwise. 93. Star Ocean 5 Original Release: 2016 Developer: tri-Ace/Square Enix Platform: PS4 The Star Ocean series is pretty tragic. SO4 had probably the worst cast ever and is an all around mediocre game otherwise and SO5...was a cash grab by Square Enix to fund Final Fantasy XV. Everything about is so budget. They even reused music from SO3 and SO4 quite frequently and often. I mean, this is Motoi Sakuraba we're talkin' about, the guy who composes like thousands of music that all sound similar, and they couldn't even be bothered to get him to compose a brand new OST for this game. Fortunately, the new (and old) compositions used here are really, really good, and I'd go as far as to say this is one of his best recent works. Unlike SO4 the characters here are actually okay ('kay), but the voice acting and direction could use some work. Being able to use all of them in battle is actually really cool and I want to see more games utilizing a seven-person team or more. Battles were pretty hectic most of the time and there were some moments of true exhilaration, like the Der Suul boss fight. Other than that, it's almost as if tri-Ace attempted to try and create a worse version of Star Ocean 1 here since there's only one planet. You do get to go on a spaceship or two but like 95% of the game takes place on Resulia, a medieval planet that doesn't stand out from every other medieval world out there. The game's plot is okay but requires way too much backtracking and I feel like they ran out of money at the end. Victor says he's from the snow town but when I reached that area it was a giant dungeon and none of the characters said anything. The villain could have used more screen time and there wasn't a whole lot of additional content, especially when you try to compare it to SO2 and SO3. And no new Cave of Trials remix -- a true shame!
