slaid's (video game) library!
hey! this is a library of the video games that i have enjoyed throughout my life. my taste goes more towards the action or rpg demographic, but there's a lot of horror or adventure i also very much enjoy. there's always something if you keep on looking.

MOTHER 3 by Nintendo
my favorite video game of all time. it's the only game that's ever made me cry even once, and i have to give it full respect for that. the story is heartcrushing, the ending literally rips you apart, and the battle system is fun and engaging with the rhythm mechanic. the settings are awe-aspiring and the bosses are fun to fight. there's just simply nothing else that can compete in my mind, and that's alright with me. the music behind the game is also awesome and to this day i will never give up screaming from the rooftops that mother 3 is the best game ever made.
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix by Square Enix
it's a great game with themes about finding yourself and understanding that not everything can be yours. the gameplay is immensely fun and makes for an awesome time, along with the great ost, character interactions, and eventually also heartcrushing story. roxas' story to this day still makes me emotional. the gameplay is also a ton of fun with a bunch of exploits and fun tricks to consistently do, and the drive gauge is one of the coolest things they've ever added. such a good game and a must-play if you love stories with fun gameplay.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice by FromSoftware
i actually don't like soulslike games that much. they're too frusturating and too unforgiving for me. BUT one day i started playing sekiro and it's one of the most fun and intriguging games i've ever played in my entire life. the gameplay is literally prime and i genuinely think there's little that surpasses it. mastering how to dodge, how to attack, how to parry, how to deflect is one of the best feelings since you eventually get a "click" within your mind that makes you start playing like a god. the story is nothing too special but the gameplay is just too fun to ignore. deserved its GOTY.
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks by Midway
this is the best co-op game ever made and i genuinely mean that. not trying to be biased because mortal kombat is one of my favorite franchises but this is one of the most fun and rich co-op games i've ever played in my entire life. the amount of shenanigans you can do within this game and how fun the progression is makes for a very fun time. you don't need to know much about mortal kombat to play this game, if at all. just grab a friend and play through this game. it's SO peak
Megaman X4 by Capcom
the sprites from this game reside in my restless dreams. they're so nostalgic and upon playing this game for the first time i absolutely adored it. the choice between X and Zero between whoever you want to play is a great choice (i picked zero) and the game feels like a prime encapsulation of what the X series is about. the powers are immensely fun to play, the bosses are a difficult challenge with some interesting gimmicks to them, and the stages are some of the most beautifully crafted in all of megaman.
