Metroid Dread was not your type of game and it ended up not being my type of game either. Hype or not, if you like it I usually do. Personally I wish you would put the scores back in your reviews as your views are even clearer summed up with a number. Thank you for being so reliably accurate over the years :)

I think in your review scores you give too much leeway or too high credit for the genres you typically adore (farm life sims) and you stand by that. Then other genres, you are seemingly afraid to give what it may deserve. Regardless though, I certainly do think your scores and reviews are valid and am always interested to see what you think of a game :) P. S. You're too harsh on your older self who still has very similar opinions and wasn't that long ago.

Ahhhh todays my birthday and a new ircha video :) such a great idea for a video I love you!!

I enjoy watching your reviews so much I re-watch them. So funny to see you do it and then I watch it.

Great video!!! I love the chill looking back feel of this video. 👏👏👏

I always like watching your reviews, even though I quite often don't agree on the score xD But that's I think because I am VERY harsh. And that also why I watch you, because you are generally a very positive person and more than once you reminded me why a game IS fun :)

This was a good idea for a video! I know my ratings change with time too😂 also are you/have you tried the new Animal Crossing update?👀😁 So fun and now we have crops and cooking!

A clever person once said, that 10 shouldn't just be given to games that are "flawless utter perfection", it shouldn't be this impossible score that only "perfect" games get, because no game is perfect.

I'm actually not bothered too much by your older ratings because I always took them with a grain of salt and paid more attention to the details you shared. It's neat that you are updating your scores here, but it would probably be cooler to have each video updated (though that's obviously NOT realistic). For me, being a seasoned gamer, I picked up on specific details while you were articulating your experiences to the best of your ability. It's somewhat akin to looking at tags on Steam to see what might be pertinent for me. While I could probably get the information more quickly on a more concise, professional review....those are rare these days. You can't trust people shilling for corporations, but I can trust the information I glean from your videos. In particular, I enjoy your honesty and there is a homely feeling about your videos - which is nice while I'm looking for key bits of information that you usually have in there. I wish you the best and hope to see your videos for a long time to come. Hang in there and have a great day!

I got burned on Yonder. I found it to be too shallow and undeveloped. It's a pretty game for sure but it doesn't have much else going for it unfortunately. I expected deeper customization of your farm lands and the characters were too generic and lifeless. It's a shame too because the original box art looks really nice and the game itself is very pleasant to look at while wandering around. I just wish it had more meat and depth to the gameplay.

Yes I totally agree with liking a bad game due to its initial hype, I’m guilty of that too.. Now that I think about it……this video has caused me to reflect on most of my questionable life decisions 🤦🏽‍♂️

Yonder: finally finishing this game I love the way it looks and the lighting. I like the satisfying sound effects and animations for things. Things that need improvement in the game: 1. the exchange rate, we rip the npcs off 2. the quests need more depth 3. the recipes need to have more purpose besides just make and sell 4. more recipes for the different fish. That's about it. It's very pretty, Halloween in Bobintoff is nice, fishing feels good, lighting is great, and the faeries are cool but besides their looks they don't each serve a special purpose, that would've been nice. Ah well. Room for improvements.

I was never a Tales of fan because of the kiddy artstyle and character models. Now I'm giving the series a chance with Arise.

I would never say that it could be considered a "regret". It makes it feel like you are depreciating your older work in my opinion, but this is just one viewer's perspective here. However, I say that what you are doing is a great idea to have a sort of "reflection". Because like you said, hype can definitely "influence" a higher score in some cases. "Back in 2018" sounds like you are doing a "Back in my day" tone lol. My personal take, here when it comes to "scoring" I rarely pay attention to them. I tend to pay more attention to the details, the critiques, the mechanics, etc. For those are what influence me to either buy a game, or to stay away from it. As an example here, a game that I played recently and have been looking forward to was "Land of War - The Beginning". Which is an FPS based in WW2 during the "beginning" of the war between Germany and Poland. Where the synopsis is you are a Polish Soldier taking part in the Battles of Mokra, Warsaw, and Hel (Yes 1 L). The game is in a mixed review state atm. Keep in mind this is an Indie Studio out of Poland and they tried their best to replicate the feel of the old school Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games. To go back to how it's a Indie Polish studio, the game is excellent in it's original Polish language, but is bad with it's English Dub. The game itself is still a bit buggy, but overall a fun experience for me. That being said, while I am very happy with my purchase, I know that people might not like a game that is still in a very buggy state, which I might say "buy it", I know to a viewer they might not be convinced, so in the end it's up to them to buy it. If the team were to continue to improve upon the game and even include level DLCs (as they provided weapon DLC's for the game that still fit the time period (like a Tommy Gun)), like the Battle of Wizna, which really would be an interesting experience to go through all 3 days of the Polish Thermopylae. In the end, it would still be up to what MS Games will do with this project. As personally, I want to see them succeed and make this product better, for I see potential in this title. Despite that paragraph above, I know there are people that do like a sort of "scoring" system, that might help influence them to get a game based on what the reviewer says, critiques, or compliments about a game, and you definitely did help in influencing me get into a WHOLE bunch of Idea Factory games, and of course I don't regret that in any stretch of the imagination. This indeed was a very fun video to see how you reflected on your past work, and if you agreed with Past Ircha or even disagreed be it improving or decreasing the score at hand. Opinions do change over time, they are not always solid in some cases.

Star Atlas has great action, beautiful graphics and the story is engaging scifi hokum - plus Starfox and the gang are in it, so you can play it like a Starfox game! The big minus for the game is that it has the dreaded Ubisoft endless-sidequest generator leading to maps bombarded with icons and a lot of busy work, which knocks a couple of points off what could be a more focused, tighter and more memorable adventure. Still gets an easy 7.5 fro me, definitely pick it up in a sale. Love your channel Ircha!

I agree with you in My Time at Portia now. Maybe even a 7 for me. Performance and content on the Switch has been AWFUL. It’s a great game regardless but definitely should’ve had a lot more polish before the publisher/devs released it. Can we also talk about the lack of support for that game on systems other than PC? Bc it’s been bad. Really bad. We finally got the content that PC gamers had 1-2 years ago and when it was released, there was a massive gamebreaking bug that took another month to resolve. For those reasons, I won’t be buying My Time at Sandrock for at least a year or two. I want to be sure the developers/publishers are releasing an actual finished product.

I couldn't agree more ! A few months ago when an update finally arrived on the switch, we couldn't enter the Desert ruined anymore. (After a few months, they patched it) This, along the loading screen (the update made them quicker but still long) and the fact the my game didn't save my progress a few times make playing it so incredibly frustrating. It's annoying because the game itself is excellent. As you said, it's clearly for me as well that they didn't put much love in the switch version which is a shame.

I like the idea of saying ircha approved.sometimes score hare hard to give a game.example i really approve of ff7 remake but im not sure what I would score it on a scale to 10.i love certain games that I would score low

Yo girl dip them toes into dark souls remastered

I don't like scores. I grew up with two magazines, Club Nintendo (official magazine in Mexico) and La Mosca (music and counterculture magazine), and neither of them game scores to the games and albums they reviewd, instead they wrote long articles about the games and brief essays about the albums, mentioning their characteristics, and that was better than a score to choose games and albums.

Kinda cute to see you slightly cringe at yoru self from the 2018 ratings, Shows how much you have grown as a reviewer too. ^^

Let's Go Pikachu is a solid 8/10. It's the most fun I've had shiny hunting in a Pokemon game!

I didn't like Neo the world ends with you much but after listening to the praise other people were giving it I plan to play through it again. Hopefully I'll change my mind because the original is my favourite DS game.

If Borderlands 3 9/10 how do you rate Borderlands 2?

I approve.

Absolutely loved Graveyard Keeper too, but the developers don't give a rat's arse about us. They're pushing new DLC when the base game has had game breaking glitches for longer than I've owned it.

You’ve not explained the changes though. So doesn’t help as much because it’s almost like you’re giving marks based on memories now and if it’s grown or not. But wouldn’t we want to know the score while it was fresh for you surely.
