Recently, I've been making an effort to play some classic games I never played before. I started this process with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,, but I'll level with y'all: I don't think Zelda and I vibe with each other. ALttP is the second I've attempted besides the admittedly quite different Breath of the Wild,, but neither have really stuck with me. I think perhaps in such a game I want more of an explicit story, more characters with more defined personalities, more varied combat, that sort of thing. Probably why I'm not vibing with Zelda but tend to love JRPGs.
Anyway! I'm also playing my first example of another series and genre, and it's going better thus far!
I'm playing my first Metroid. Specifically, Metroid: Zero Mission for the Game Boy Advance. I've never been into the Metroidvania world, never even played any, so I figured I ought to start with a classic that also happens to star one of gaming's best girls.
If I keep vibing with Zero Mission I'm sure I'll write up something bigger about it soon, but for now, I wanted to make a lil blog about my retro gaming progress.
