I'm pleased to report that my write-up on The Last of Us Part I is now finally finished! Be forewarned that it's long (17 goddamn paragraphs), so read when you got some time to kill. Didn't truly say everything I wanted to either, but I think I covered all the stuff most important to me.

Sorry I had to post it in incomplete form last night, but there are formatting issues I always have when shifting text from anywhere on anything Google (Documents, emails sent to myself, whatever) over to VGC, so I have to manually retype everything here and it was just getting to be too lengthy to feasibly retype in one session, so I opted to just go ahead and complete it here later since there's no expiration to the ability to edit posts here like there is on so many other forums. I may have to do the same thing with my final write-up too, though I think I can make that one a little shorter since it doesn't radically deviate from TLOU1 in terms of fundamental design.

And another reason why the 3DS is one of the best systems of all times is Kid Icarus: Uprising. Created by Masahiro Sakurai (Kirby, Smash Bros) this game was the sequel for the nearly two decades dormant Kid Icarus IP. Sakurai modernized the gameplay and added some stuff, and some more stuff and even more stuff. This game is filled with endless possibilities.

The single player mode sees you playing through missions, which each consists of a flying part in which you are restricted in your movements to the screen and the main flight path controlled by Palutena, while you shoot enemies. Then a ground part, were you move more freely. And finally a boss fight. Sakurai throws in enough stuff to keep things fresh though.

The story is long-winded and includes an enourmous cast of mythical characters. This includes a whole bunch of gods and their champions. And all of them are constantly talking in some banter, mostly at the expense of Pit, the playable character.

The difficulty of the missions can be adjusted, but you risk more hearts on higher difficulties, but may get bigger rewards too. The game also has an enourmous amount of weapons and other stuff. A multiplayer mode is also included. This game blew me away and kept me glued to the 3DS for a long time. I think this game would be a great candidate for a remake or even a sequel on Switch, so Nintendo take the hint!

Let's break into the TOP 10:

#15: Guessed by UnderwaterFunktown: Octopath Traveler

#13: This time the boy you meet and help is alive.
You meet your dad you learned in the last game is still alive, but he keeps to his research.
May be one of the best looking Wii games.
Although the game was already localized to english for the european release and the predecessor sold decently, Reggie hated the game and so it never released in the US.

#12: Guessed by Darashiva: Demon's Souls

#11: (it is not: Windwaker)
I have no time for small fry!

#10: (it is not: Mario Teaches Typing)
This is a game set in one of the biggest IPs in the world, but it is a bit unusual.

#9: Guessed by Darashiva: Okami
The sun goddess needs to fix things.

_{ranking in the guessing game, list so far}

YoY: -1       My Rating: 9.3/10

Ranking the Uncharted games has always been a little tricky. In terms of pure spectacle, I'd say the second game is still the peak of the series. Even if Uncharted 3's ship section perhaps outdid it in terms of sheer scale, Uncharted 2's set piece moments felt more connected to the overall story. However, as a complete package where all the different elements of the game are brought together the best, Uncharted 4 is the overall best game in the series in my opinion. 

While it doesn't feature any one truly standout sections like the train level in Uncharted 2, A Thief's End is still filled with a vast array of impressive moments, and in terms of storytelling and writing it stands quite comfortably above the rest of the series. In addition, the gameplay has seen some notable improvements, the stealth and gunplay feeling much more natural and fluid, and the climbing sections feeling much more versatile and responsive than before. In addition, the semi-open world sections add some very nice variety to the proceedings.

Uncharted 4 feels like the perfect sendoff to Nathan Drake, and serves as a fitting final chapter to his story. Even if the series goes on, I feel like his part in it, at least as the main protagonist, is now over. Seeing him finally wrap up his adventuring days and settle down with Elena is a perfect way to end his part in the series. 

Doesn't that fish who marks your sea chart call Link 'small fry'?

Hmm, dunno.
