New games beaten from the backlog
---
Woodle Tree Adventures (Switch): I got this game on sale long ago and decided to finally get around to playing it. I was surprised on how short it is. It's a nice and chill 3D platformer where you play as a sentient Log while you collect stuff/McGuffins.

Alien Splatter Redux: A fun run and gun action/platformer. Last year I played the original version of the game when it came with Jet Gunner via Properties > Local Files > Browse. Alien Splatter Redux is a stand alone release and it fixed/tweaked a few of the level designs and even dropped a few of the old bosses and put in a new boss. This is much better than the original version in every way.

Cybarian: The Time Traveling Warrior (Switch): Very weird concept of a Barbarian set in a future setting in this action/platformer. The combat is kinda unique in that you have to time your swings. Boss fights are done in phases which I'm a little indifferent about. I slightly ended up liking this game once I got used to the mechanics.

Firework (Switch): A game where the look is based off of Mega Man and Cave Story. It does an ok job of trying to be it's own thing. Very little information is given in this game on how you have to figure out to get the true ending. When I did look up said information, it did make sense. I was still a little annoyed I went through the game twice and got the bad ending. My third playthrough which went smoothly due to new game plus I eventually did see the new content and got the true ending. I liked the ability of having multiple Air Dashes.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (Game Boy Color/Switch): This is the definitive version of Super Mario Bros. It is incredible how much content there is. It has so many unlockables in it and the different modes are neat. If there was a way to hack this game with a better screen resolution it would be really sweet to put it on an NES or something.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch): I took a 3 year hiatus of this game due to a lack of motivation, drowning in my backlog and spending too much time on Animal Crossing: New Horizons/other games. I felt like I committed a "cardinal sin" of not finishing a Zelda game after I started it but never finishing it. I finally decide to go back to this game to finish it in time for Tears of the Kingdom.

I gotta say...this game felt like the closest feeling I had that The Legend of Zelda NES gave me. It had that similar vibe to me. The whole open world thing it has going on. The weapon durability did get old after awhile but it's ok cause you can practically find them everywhere and you can be very creative on how to dispatch the enemies. I really did enjoy exploring and getting distracted a lot. The story was ok. I also did like you get more story/lore when finding the Recovered Memories. Overall, I enjoyed of what I played of this game.
