Rockman EXE Phantom of Network Review
★★★★★
★★★★★

on

Unfortunately there aren't any resources with the game's maps, however, these game's dungeons are short so getting lost isn't that big of an issue. However...

https://www.therockmanexezone.com/wiki/Rockman_EXE_Phantom_of_Network (warning for game spoilers, check at your own risk.)

To be a Java game, this one is ambitious, it's a full Battle Network game with about everything you'd expect from it, almost nothing got cut (besides music, seriously, only the final dungeon has any music other than the internet theme), to the point there's even a mechanic meant to be a simpler NaviCust. In the story department is nowhere near as good as 3, but it's perfectly serviceable, and it has some amazing concepts such as the final villain which I would have loved to see used more in the actual main series. It's a perfectly alright Battle Network game.

Some things to note however.
- Regular enemies have i-frames, but can also be stunned like you'd stun a boss.
- Because of Java limitations there's very few tracks and the ones that exist will be repeated endlessly, feel free to mute the game if you get too tired of the music.
- The fan-translation has Buster MAX as an option, which I recommend if you want to get through the game quickly.
- There's a chip in Undernet 4 that makes the backtracking in later scenarios and requests way, way easier, make sure you have 150 bugfrags for it.

Shoutouts to HatMan, one of the coolest designs in the game and also my favorite boss.

Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue Review

The levels of good this game reaches are absurd, it's such a huge improvement compared to BN1 and even BN2. Has some of the coolest NetNavi designs, the fights are fun, and everything that isn't the two scenarios before the final one is really good. (Shoutouts to BowlMan.EXE)

The story is also great from start to finish, it's solid, extremely so.

But for the two scenarios that, S U C K.

Stardew Valley Review

My previous review of this game really didn't make it justice.
Yes, I have over 1000 hours on it, yes, I modded the hell out of it. But it still keeps getting me back every time. Why is that?

Because this game has always something fun to do.
Think you 100%d the game? Think again! Update comes out that adds a LOT of things. It's seriously impressive how during an almost decade long period ConcernedApe has done a lot for this game and the people who played it.

The 1.6 update has some of the coolest features I've seen in a while. Outright making a ton of the mods I used completely obsolete (as they are features now present in the game). The art is as beautiful as ever. The music is as great as ever. This game was already pretty damn good during release and it only keeps getting better and better.

The quality of SDV absolutely makes me hopeful for Haunted Chocolatier, since that seems to be the natural evolution for Stardew itself. Something that's rare as I often have no expectations for any games currently on development.
