    Personally, I didn't find Summoner 2 short at all, (at least not the Gamecube version.) It's a solid title, though I miss the free roaming and random encounters of the first game.

    Huh, I never heard of Dragon Sisters, but looks like a cool game! Freedom Fighters is definitely a great pick (and one I also mentioned in my 2nd Hidden Gems episode lol).

    I literally just finished up Freedom Fighters about a month ago. Originally had when it released back in the day. Decided to buy it again about 6 months ago for nostalgia sake. But replaying it was everything I remember. My only gripe was it seemed a tad shorter than I wanted it to be, but otherwise, a strong game.

    • @williamlowe8734
      @williamlowe8734 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you play on easy it doesn't let you play through the whole story. Bump up the difficulty to play the full story. I can't completely remember if you have to play the game on the hardest difficulty to finish the story, but I do remember the easy difficulty only lets you get about halfway.

    BERSERK!
    I've got the Dreamcast game and the newer one that came out on PS4 (though I've got it on Steam) but this is the one I wish got a Western release. Though I do like that the Dreamcast and PS2 games take place after The Eclipse. Considering most people, if they knew about Berserk at all, only knew the anime and I believe the manga had just gotten past The Eclipse (where the anime ends for those unfamiliar) for the English releases so they could have just rehashed the anime in video game form or made up a story in between parts of the anime but instead they went all in with the later story and characters. I give them a ton of credit for that.
