Ender Magnolia after finishing Ender Lilies. Both are phenomenal games, absolutely loved both. Amazing art direction, fluid gameplay, challenging but not frustrating.
Speaking of Zelda, now that I scratched my itch to play some Metroidvania, I am kind of in the mood for a Zelda binge, too many of those I left unfinished in the past.
Call it coping all you want. We are talking about an event that happened more than 2 decades ago. I was there, and I clearly remember a lot of negative press for every Nintendo console.
Fun fact by the way, I am not even necessarily a Nintendo fan. I loved the SNES and all their handhelds, but I really hated the N64 and seriously disliked the Wii U, and I was never all that much in love with the Wii. But I recognize that every console iteration the gaming press spells doom for Nintendo. It's almost a meme at this point.
Also, it's not only for Nintendo, I do lump the vast majority of gaming press in the "trash" category. I completely ignore professional reviews for a reason. Gaming press is just marketing and PR.
