You can still rate previous days games if you missed them, just write <game name><rating>. If you want to change your rating you can just specify that you are changing your rating. Nominations for future days are also welcome, nominate as many games as you like and I will get to all of them.

Nominate Assassin's Creed II

Oof. What a unique one.

On one hand, it was really fascinating to see unfold and very novel for the medium. On the other, it was just completely unrelatable and needlessly depressing in parts.

I have to give it a 7.

6.5

Gonna actually explain my answer for this one, cuz it's a bit complicated. This game is one of the biggest wastes of potential I've ever seen. The idea for the story is beautiful, and if it were implemented well, would lead to one of my favorite games ever.

But my god, if the main character wasn't one of the most insufferable pieces of self-insert shit I've ever had the displeasure of controlling. The story's supposed to be about the dying guy, not the obnoxious memelord. Stay quiet and let me enjoy the feels goddammit.

That said, we're rating the story so I still have to lean towards a relatively higher score than I really want to.

7/10
Thought the sequel was much better.

Nominate Chrono Trigger

8/10

The story could've been executed much better but it's solid enough to get a high score anyway.

I just learned this has a sequel I should probably play.

It's more of a spiritual successor than a sequel

6/10

It was decent. I liked the idea a lot but the execution could definitely be improved. The ending in particular was pretty disappointing.

Bump.

---

Any more?

---

6/10

I'm surprised how much I don't remember the story. I think it was an interesting and fresh idea, but yeah, the execution is really lacking.

---

I'll be the high man and go 9.

I don't have the problems with it that some seem to.

---

One last bump.
