    • Ragnarök

      December 20, 2021 at 8:08 pm

    Metroid Dread was the smoothest feeling Metroid in a while … reminded me of Mega Man X, which is a high compliment.

    Why is Monster Hunter: Rise not on this list?! Does everyone enjoy boredom or something?

    • Travis Romig

      December 21, 2021 at 3:16 am

    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
    Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
    I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
