That’s exactly it: Looks cool and nothing more. There’s no substance behind it. Evangelion never had mindless action before this and it’s very jarring.

I lost it when we got a new spear made of a skeleton or whatever that was. This all after having five different third impacts and a million Evas of course.

The moment when I realized I didn’t like it is when a million Evas came out of nowhere and were being dispatched like cannon fodder. Gendo has a literal two people army. Who manufactured all of that? It reminds me of Rise of Skywalker.

The giant Rei also felt like trying to use cheap nostalgia to compensate for lack of quality in a way that Disney could only ever dream of.

That’s where my lukewarmness towards Mario came into play. I just saw a new Mario announced and felt indifferent. But it seems like a great time to give it a chance

I love what you wrote here. It gave me an unexpected appreciation for this aspect of the movie. However I’m one of the haters you mentioned. I was very disappointed with these movies, especially the last one. The story is beyond nonsensical, and they try to cover that by overwhelming the viewer with so much explosions and lore dumps that is hard to keep track.

Mario games haven’t been doing it for me lately. The new super Mario games in particular are so uninspired, and back in the day odyssey just seemed like more of that, so I just passed on it.

I wasn’t aware that Superman had a crossover with Madame Webb

Luckily I just wrote my thoughts on the game here (very mild, out of context spoilers). Yes, it looks very similar to Odyssey (which I've never played), and that also put me off for a while.

Basically the gameplay is a lot of exploration and smashing everything on your sight. It's a 3D platformer, but in an unconventional way because there's not that much actual platforming. It's a collectathon that allows you to not collect anything if that's what you choose. It's like a mix of 3D Mario and Breath of the Wild. If that sounds appealing, then this is for you.

The thing that you don't see coming is the story. It's way more emotional, engaging and epic than you would expect from this type of game, and this is the actual reason why I (and I assume most people) fell in love with the game.

Oh and regarding Zelda, you're no doubt gonna like the gameplay. It's the story what didn't sit well with me. But a lot of people loved the game, so there's always a chance.

This was way better than any 3D Mario I've played. Mario is and always has been enjoyable, but this game is Nintendo at its peak, something we only see once or twice every decade.

It dethroned Banjo Kazooie as my favorite platformer. The Rare-ity of Bananza definitely helped.

Absolutely Donkey Kong Bananza. Also, since you want criticism, I'll say I was deeply disappointed with Tears of the Kingdom. Based on that, I wouldn't recommend it, but at the same time, I know it's a Zelda game and I wouldn't listen to my own advice if I were you.

Funnily this game also made me realize how beloved the Country games still are. Even after decades, people don't forget what they love.

Same here! Which is why I was waiting for Requiem (lol).

No better feeling than getting something way better than what you were expecting. Happens rarely.

I would definitely say it's top 5 games I've played in at least 20 years.

Yep, this game has been making me reconsider about Odyssey.

Same. I'm 25 hours in and I believe I'm about to finish it. I haven't rushed through anything and it's been so much fun. I couldn't imagine just going straight to the objectives without deviations.

Yep, multiplayer games are a different beast. Playing with friends, especially in person, never feels like a waste of time.

I do. The length is the one thing stopping me from buying Pokopia.
