I love Sonic the Hedgehog, a sentence I’m sure will trigger many a reader’s fight or flight response. But I do love Sonic the Hedgehog. Not the movie, it’s okay. Not the character, I’m unsure how to feel about him. Not the franchise, I’m even less sure how to feel about that. Not the 2006 game although it would be both funny and on-brand for me to be into that one. Not the bizarre GBA port, that one isn’t even bad in a funny way.

Eternal posion is a SRPG develop by Flight-Plan published by banpresto in Japan and Atlus in North America, and I personally think the game is mediocre, but why is that the case? Story: It's probably one of the best thing about this game, it may not be excellent or great but it's good and interesting enough, the character may not be deep but because everyone acts towards everyone else in a passive aggressive way, the character and their interactions suddenly become a lot more...

Now, since the thread about this game got my attention, I said, “Eh why not?” So here we are, goes to show, that if you want me to cover a game, all it has...

I assure you, it wasn’t planned for my next review to be another stealth game, this time I picked the game solely on the name, which caught my attention, this time, I never played it before, so I was going in fresh. As it has become a running gag in my introduction paragraphs, in my infinite wisdom I decided to play the PC version, fully knowing it might be difficult to get the game to run on a modern system, I am yet again being stubborn. And this time… It did show its hand, I lost count...
