Chapter 6/8 of Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, the train. I hate to say it, but no way this is the best. I like it, but don't love it. Most scenarios are overplayed, too much backtracking, and character abilities outside of combat feel like an afterthought. Happy to finally see it through tho ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ

so I've been playing the JPN/EU DS exclusive 'Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland' for the first time and man oh man, it took a while to overcome the first hump of this weird ass Legend of Zelda spin-off.

but then there's this whole haggling mechanic, which is just the ABSOLUTE WORST part. Your health is also your rupees, so you're essentially bargaining your life away. But it did tickle me seeing how the whole haggling was reused in Rusty's Real Deal Baseball.

that's a wrap on Crow Country. Quick two-sessions, under 5 hours indie survival horror. Pick up and play, pure mood and lots of fun puzzles. Easy recommendation for PS1 era fans. Also the story fucking goes places, damn.
