I have not much experience in arcades since we had them before I had any spending money and they are all pretty much gone here but during short youth time I experienced X-men vs Street Fighter which is still my favorite arcade experience. Also played Metal Slug 2, bit Sega Rally and Hydro Thunder.

Last few years though I got to play Initial D inside Subaru Impreza on hydraulics(not there anymore) which was fantastic, Mario and Sonic Olympics by running on actual threadmill, hit and flip the table on office/family game, various rythm/fighting games and many many more on my trips to Japan so I have been lucky to have tried some really cool stuff. Sadly missing some since my japanese is mostly from watching anime and I can't read any of the letters(which I need to at least improve to beyond basics).
Arcades are in dire situation again because of covid-19 but I hope there are places where people can keep enjoying them.

Lost Judgment
Main story is surprisingly shorter than I expected but it's still good even if I prefer the 1st game's story.
Majority that people hated in the 1st game got fixed or improved so there are less annoyance around. The side missions are solid but the school ones are good and great playoff doing all of them.
Really good characters again though some don't appear as much as I hoped.
Still one of the better games of the year and definitely worth playing.
[8 1/2]

This year was wild though. Sweden not making to playoffs and Canada's surprisingly weak games early on. Germany was doing great but sadly they still didn't get the medal. Last one was like 1952 but it does feel their team is going to be at top 8 more regularly from now on.
Even Kazakstan rose from the very bottom

I like some british actors better. They are usually also a better in villain roles. The accents
Salt and vinegar chips are pretty good but never tried authentic one (fries)
Werther's Original

Congrats for Canada winning IIHF Cup. After nearly getting eliminated before playoffs they picked themself up and won Finland in the finals (however your thoughts are to play 3v3 on overtime). Cheers

Different people, different opinions. I usually don't care about open world since I usually feel narration suffers from it(MGSV) but world design is amazing what they accomplished especially when load times were insanely fast for it and photomode rocks too.
That EDGE reviewer just seems to be bad at these types of games or didn't understand smartly using skill points. I for one got out of this what I hoped Sekiro had given me so it scratched the itch I was feeling.
Personally it landed where it deserved to be. Artistically it's masterful without insane details of TLoU2. The environment just is so much more interesting because artstyle they went with. It has so many soothing moments with haiku, foxes etc. etc.
Characters were interesting enough though sadly Yuna's story was the weakest IMHO. The game gave just enough side stuff to do that it didn't overstay its welcome.
Story only takes a small chunk like any other open world game but if a review felt nothing during their play or say it's dreadful, I question their credit in this game. Like do they expect Jin to act like happy go lucky during war times? I for sure didn't because of open worldness.

For me my top 3 is pretty much interchangable. And because I put Like A Dragon at 3rd, is just nitpicking.
Load times annoyed me a bit which is funny since it's not that much different from other games but it somehow irritated me. Another one is combat doesn't pick up until I was about 15-20h. Other stuffs are excellent so definitely worth playing it.

Resident Evil 2 & Resident Evil 3 remakes

Went route Leon A and Claire B because I just love using Quickdraw Army. It's just such a fun gun to use and I prefer Claire's campaign a bit more mainly because playing as Ada wasn't fun and Sherry's story is emotional(such a good VA Along with Marvin's in A scenario). Such a great game even if it comes a bit short on remake side though not as nearly as much as RE3 which is clearly a disappointment when it comes to remaking an old classic. For me original 2&3 were pretty equally great but RE3 was the one I finished 9-10 times to unlock every post ending information and learning that your choices mattered and changed a lot of things and how long it was(After 2-3 runs saved only once or twice because I once died far into a game and had to start over).

People will always shit on RE3 remake but it was still mostly fun to play. It has so much improved stuff. The inventory slots like in REmake 2, the bonuses you can buy from shop, the hospital part and enemies and not to mention the biggest improvement. The dodge(still remember playing as Carlos in Mercenaries and near the end I had a full health and heal, lots of AR ammo but he did dodge all the time because shooting was the same button and got decapitated by a hunter or Nikolai dying downstairs of finish line because there were bunch of zombies blocking the way) is simply superior and makes the game the best it has ever controlled as. And characters are most fleshed out in this even if I like Nikolai in original too. Nemesis looks cool but it being like original Mr.X while Mr.X got a Nemesis treatment really hurts the most. Goes to show that something went wrong during development( which is probably Capcom's fault because they wanted to make it different from original). Also that STARS dialogue happening early in the game really showed how they messed scriptwise. And I hate the whole Deimos section.

Still a [9/10 and 8/10] even if I feel more bummed on RE3

PS. I just started RE4 and for half an hour I tried to get accustomed with the controls. Didn't work out since on GCN 2nd analog stick was trash and didn't notice it there while playing it but now after having played lots of games with a good right stick no matter how much I tried which stick to use to aim, it felt uncomfortable especially when you can still use right one as a camera 90 degrees to the side. I can't wait to see how RE4 remake will play since it will definitely not be this ancient control scheme unless it's optional. Also a game I don't mind if they trimmed it a lot like RE3 remake because I only liked 30% of the environment in this game(it was fun at the time but that's the main reason why I don't replay RE4 much. 3 times on GCN and one on PS3).

Needed a change of pace and a smaller game so started

Abzû

Delightful game. Was a bit more emotional because of cold and a headache on couple of parts. You can clearly compare it to that other game but both has their own strenght in certain parts and glad it can be done in one sitting. Couple of things I wasn't fan off but not a big deal.

[7.5/10]

Resident Evil 6

Been awhile since I played this so it was time to do it. Fresh save on PS4(145h on PS3) and splitting it between campaigns and playing solo/AI partner because it's way better than in RE5 and came through 95% of the time. AI died 3-4 times throughout all campaigns and only one was 100% their fault. Also I died 43 times(half intentionally because of getting max health after it) and some BS deaths. Also one part where I usually die didn't happen because of it. Also AI partner healing when I'm downed saved me from probably 100 deaths(best skill on solo). Anyway let's get into it.

Leon/Helena

I hate this campaign. It's all over the place and have "smart" zombies. I did mention how bad enemies react to shots and it's just awful. You go down so much that you wonder if the univercity is located in the sky because it feels like forever going down and down and down. 1st location is just stupid and has stupid parts to it where you help civilians but they die immidiately next scene.Getting crushed by an ambulance is nice but I knew about it before so avoided it totally. The whole crypt part is probably the worst RE location in my opinion.
Enter China. Plane crashed? No problem. What I like about this game is you encountering people from other campaigns but they are doing same stuff so basically you beat the same part twice multiple times going through all scenarios.
Then we get to Simmons whom I hate with passion. This is the part where the virus doesn't make sense. It's like what can we make him turn into that looks cool. This petty guy who has confusing dialogue and has a huge hard-on on Ada which is basically the main plot(besides president's confession which didn't happen because he was taken out). The game just becomes a mess that just is there to throw in all action scenes they can think of. Also you can't run for the first 30 minutes or so which is even worse since I didn't include tutorial in it.
Fighting Simmons is just a chore to go through and fighting him was never fun.

Chris/Piers

This campaign is basically just a shooter. It's at least consistent on that part so you won't get annoying WTF moments because it's pretty straightforward. Of course enemy count gets annoying at times but it's nothing I couldn't handle. Also since I played as Chris, I didn't need to do the worst part mostly like the driving and losing your target. Also AI did good in final boss so it was a breeze.
I hate snipers so much. You're overwhelmed by them on couple of parts but man leaving bad parts for Piers was just fun.
Favorite enemies:

This game has couple of really good ones. Also ending was probably best one but the bar is pretty low on that.
Haoh was a non-issue even on the escape part since I have played it enough to know what to do in that part.
Piers dying during escape at the harbor was 100% on AI. Guess that's because of his name. Also 4 character part was good where they are on roofs and others are on the ground is what I want other similar ones be and not just the same part.

Ada/HUNK wannabe

Looks like playing offline makes me play without one they patched in later. Her campaign is the worst but has some good stuff working at the background and supporting or watching other people. Carla was just as shallow as Simmons and both having the same frigging line "You got me, well played" just riled me up how bad it was. And Carla's final part was super annoying even normal. Probably the worst boss in the whole franchise.
Also Deborah fight blows since I don't have a knife just to finish her.

Jake/ Sherry

While Jake has a cool dash and combo(he is Wesker's son after all) I didn't want to do the beginning of China part with him because it sucks(also Sherry in that outfit). Good thing is Sherry is carrying good weapons with her. Thoughout the game this campaign was the only time I had plenty of ammo all way through(Sadly I was hogging them that I didn't end up using most of it). Driving part is even worse on this one and I dided like 3 times on snowmobile at the same part which sucked. Thankfully Jake did all the driving part on bike in China.
Before China though there was a part where I wanted to get a treasure and Jake died twice because AI somehow wanted to go in front of Ustanak or whatever it's called.
This campaign was so cheesy and final part is cheesy to the max that I laughed. Love it.

Conclusion

I might sound negative throughout the game but I still enjoy playing it. It has lots of problems and annoyances. The game took me 22 hours to beat and I wasn't rushing but it clearly was just too big for its own good. A Jack of All Trades - Master of None.
It has solid controls and mechanisms that unfortunately doesn't work on many enemies and some have insane tracking onto you. The secret maneuvers you can do but is never explained is cool and you can probably find it on the internet like dash-quickturn-aim and other stuff(Lost Planet 2 with transforming mechs that combine!). Surroundings and locked camera angles can be tricky at times too since you can trip(whose dumb idea was it?) or collide against the wall.
Animation and voice acting is top notch though script is abysmall at times.
I think I liked it less this time around because while playing co-op is more struggle and all, it's still enjoyable since you can laugh at stuffs and playing together always feels good(unless you're playing as Sheva in RE5 final boss)
