I couldn't agree more with what you said about how satisfying Fire Emblem games are. I think that's why I find it so addicting.

The reenactment of the moment Kim walked in had me laughing

I also enjoyed Engage more than Three Houses. Engage was a reminder of why I got into the Fire Emblem games at the start, and that was having addictive turn-base gameplay that offered intricate map designs, varied map objectives, going between mission chapters and the Somniel feels more streamlined than the Monestary, giving the feeling that the game respects your time, multiple boss fights, and fun characters. It's gimmick this time around was interesting too with the Emblem characters, and I think they did a serviceable enough of a story to include them in this game so that it made sense. Can't wait for the Genealogy remake.

Do more these games rock videos. You could really see your enthusiasm for these games. Even more so than in other vids. Great video Johnny !

Engage is very similar to fates and awakening, which I think is a good thing. I’m really enjoying engage thus far. If I wanted to be super nitlicky then I could, however I’m just trying to relax and enjoy the experience before I decide where it falls on my FE tier list. I think it has top 3 potential for me. In several ways I do like it more than 3 Houses thus far.

I am playing Fire Emblem Engage also and I've never played a FE game before or really a Strategy RPG before but when I saw the character designs and that there would be past characters featured in the game I knew this was the game for me.

Some of the best ones were only on old handheld systems. If you’re quick, you can download some on the old wii u platform store before they close it permanently in March. Buying any older physical copies is really expensive. And the more recent ones were nowhere near as good as the GBA and game cube era titles. Let’s hope they do remasters or downloads on switch in due time.

This is my first FE game and I'm legit hooked! There is soooo much depth here... So glad I hoped in...

Hey Johnny I always look forward to these videos every Sunday keep it up man

Nice to see more youtuber appreciate and love FE Engage. The game's overall amazing, it's not 3H but it's a visual treat and the gameplay just simply blows me away.

Johnny, discovered your channel during the pandemic. As a fellow longtime gamer, you bring me joy every week. You inspire me to try new games and old games I missed. Thank you!!

Ahh Deadspace the first two are still my favorite modern horror games. I'm glad you're still making videos man, I've been watching you since you first started-proud of you keep up the great work!

I've been playing fire emblem engage and I love it so much despite it all. The game rocks!

You are the freaking MAN! So fun to watch and get excited about games along with you

Thank you Johnny 🙏🏻 hard to get out of my head this morning and seeing this video uploaded is a small blessing 💪

I would absolutely LOVE to see more games that look like HI-FI Rush.

John, Fantastic content as always. I have been a subscriber for the majority of the life of the channel. Love your positive attitude and love the stories. My favorite episodes are when you talk about your past days of gaming. Brings massive waves of nostalgia to me as I am around the same age. Love the channel. Keep up the amazing work!! I am from way down here in Georgia, USA. - JD

Currently playing Hi Fi Rush and loving it. Looking forward to more of your thoughts and/or review. 👊🏽

Johnny!!! Its Junji Ito's shirt....looking kewl :) and your content of your video always appreciated...keep it up

I love your videos. Your love for videogames is so contagious.

Hard/classic is so well balanced in engage where I’m meticulously spending so long trying to break the game with thoughtful unit building and don’t feel like a jerk for doing it. Btw - sitting here, playing through crisis core side missions and sick with covid while watching a new video is such a nostalgic sort of mood. Glad you’re loving engage dude. Jade is best girl

Love the channel, always nice to see new content from #HappyConsoleGamer

I am replaying Fire Emblem Three houses (my first FE game btw). I did not enjoy my first play thru - could not recruit people. But my 2nd and now 3rd playthru really enjoying the game. This is one of the few games I enjoyed more on subsequent playthru's. I got Engage lined up already to play next.

It was nice to hear you take your time explaining these games in this video. I don’t think you usually fill 5 minutes per game when you cover multiple games at a time, but I’m sure many of us would enjoy something like this more often.

I´ve finished Hi - Fi Rush twice, and this game rocks and definetly needs a retail release, and a sequel aswell.

Yeah I would say the delivery of the story is pretty garbage but the themes/concepts they explore are interesting. Just delivered very poorly. But the exploration, combat, and post game content kept me engaged throughout so I didn't care that the story was bad. As always, combat is king. A good story is just a bonus.

Hi Fi Rush is definitely a goty for me. The original dead space I agree still rocks. The reaction to Kim coming in was spot on! Keep up the amazing content Johnny.

I am a recent watcher of the channel. I had subbed the channel for quite some time since I had heard about HCG and Johnny M., but hadn’t watched much until recently. I will echo what many already say about you and the channel - your content is awesome. The content is very approachable-while I love video games, I haven’t played many over the years. Your enthusiasm is infectious and not over the top sounding like an infomercial. You come across the screen as a genuine person and not a character or a social media persona. For me, I think it was your story of growing up with a father who managed the largest bookstore in Canada (or what it the world) and having the run of the place that grabbed me. I am a little older than you but our childhoods seem to overlap, and I remember browsing bookstores and the book and magazine section in groceries. Thanks for sharing your experiences and views. Sorry I’m late to the party :)

Hi-Fi Rush LITERALLY rocks! It’s such a refreshing throwback to unique, creative, and hyper-fun single-player experiences from the PS2 era that don’t need a huge open world or 100 hours of gameplay like most modern games.

Once again because of John I will try a new game!! Love his enthusiasm and passion for video games. Thx you!!❤

I always value your opinions!! Thanks for the awesome content all the time!

Great video! Thanks for putting Hi-fi Rush on my radar. I’m finally playing Cuphead and Crisis Core Reunion at the moment.

I just completed Fire Emblem the other night! What a great surprise for me, I’ve played all the other entries in the series, but like you said, I was expecting it to be more of a spin off game with the past characters coming back. Boy was I surprised at how good the gameplay was and the engaging with emblems added another level of strategy that was so enjoyable!

Glad to see Hi Fi Rush getting some love. It's FANTASTIC

Engage > Three houses for me too, feels more traditional gameplay wise

I just got into Etrian Odyssey. It's usually not the type of RPG I like, but I'm really enjoying it. I usually only play games and hour a day before growing bored. I've been playing EO4 every spare second. Probably 50hrs the past week

Thanks for the recommendations - the footage and, especially, your commentary is exactly what I wanted for all three of these! Jet Grind Radio is all I had to hear regarding Hi-Fi Rush, as that was one of my absolutely favorite Dreamcast games. From the footage here, I definitely got those vibes. For Fire Emblem Engage, I may have to try this. I liked Three Houses, but I'm a (painfully) slow player, so the between-battle hub stuff became a bit much for me - my issue, not the game's. I'm thinking I'll like this one even more.

I’ve been playing through the Ys games lately and just started Ark of Napishtim after I just finished Celceta a few days ago. Love your vids!

I´m totally in love with fire emblem engage, I´m in chapter 22 and I´m over 80 hours in, I´m already thinking about my 2nd playtrough because I had a hard time to choose who to throw out of my team and I want to use only new Units on my 2nd run

Thank You for the wholesome content. Everytime you post I come running. Makes me happy. Currently MH Rise, spending way too many hours in that game. Going to be playing Dead Space, Callisto and Midnight Suns next

Love your channel its so wholesome

Been playing hi fi rush it's so much fun love the art style and music loving it

Hifi Rush is a great argument against hype trains, literally just spotted the game on steam while browsing around and bought it on a whim. This game is a nice surprise, the kind I haven't felt since the the days long gone browsing around for games with cool looking covers at the rental shop.

Really needed this video today man, thank you so much for always bringing such positivity into your videos. I've also been loving Fire Emblem Engage, I'm on Chapter 17, and I'm also surprised how locked in I am with it. It's been a total blast, and I agree it's a nice breath of fresh air from Three Houses. Going back to the roots of focused gameplay with an enjoyable and fun story that isn't trying to be anything more than that. I really like the character designs as well. The protagonist has really grown on me, and the game just looks gorgeous. I'm normally the type to turn off animations after a certain point in FE games so I can get through battles faster, but in this game I can't help but keep them on because of how beautifully animated they are. Anyway, really love it! Thanks again for another great video, man!

Can you make a video of your love for the Fire Emblem series? Previous games. I didn't know you were that into Fire Emblem and would love to hear your experiences with the games. What your first fire emblem game was etc.

Thanks to my New Year’s resolution of not growing my backlog I’ve already beaten 3 games which is a lot for me so early in the year. Hollow Knight, Deaths Door and Sifu. I beat God of War Ragnarok in December too. About to get heavily into Fire Emblem Engage now.

Wow this is the first thing I've seen on Hi-Fi Rush at all. Incredible art style!

Almost 300k subs. You deserve more.

Out of the 24 games I've played this year, my top 3 are in no order or anything, Fire Emblem: Engage (Switch), Pokémon Snap (N64), Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES). Those are the 3 games that had me glued to the controller & TV. I felt the same way in that Engage was more like a classic Fire Emblem game than Three Houses and highly appreciated that. Super excited for gaming in 2023!

I payed full price for the dead space remake and I don't feel ripped off at all. Playing this game in the dark with headphones in the sci fi nightmare I've dreamed of! Great vid Johnny!

I really need to try Dead Space. You’re almost at 300k subs too, congrats 😊

You don't know how much it warms my heart to hear someone else speak highly of Event Horizon! One of my favorite movies! I'll be grabbing the remake of Dead Space ASAP!

Great video, Johnny! I've been playing Dragon Age Origins. What a game! Cheers.

I picked up Astlibra on my steam deck and it's fantastic. Great RPG with excellent reviews that I'm not seeing many talk about.

Been playing Forspoken and Dead Space, 2023 is gonna be a great year.

What I leaned about Engage is that I can just grind away and I love it. I think I’m in chapter 13 with 50 hours in and most of my characters are almost maxed. :p

Yup my review got taken down that same day 15 years ago.. But I worked on a game guide that Colin from IGN absolutely loved.. The early days man..

I also hate loosing troops on fire emblem 😂 I'd like to overcome this feeling, because always using the time crystal feels a bit like cheating to me😭😂

Hi fi rush has quickly climbed the ranks into one of my favorite games of all time. The art, the characters, the music, the combat, it all flows into an amazing experience

Man it’s incredible to see someone that loves dead space as much as I do I didn’t get the remake yet but you’ve convinced me I’m gonna pick it up on sale ✊🏆 Woooooooo

Thank you I've been sitting here deciding if I should get fire emblem or not Watching this gave me the decision to get it So far I've been replaying persona 3 portable and persona 4 golden on ps5 having a good time playing

Never played Dead Space, but I definitely want to check out the remake! Trying to clear through a few more games before I pick up FE Engage, but I am nearing the end of Soul Hackers 2 then I want to finish the DLC of Three Houses before I hop into Engage! Hope you have a great week of gaming ahead of you!

Johnny’s hair looks like a package of Top Ramen.

I recently revisited Ghost Recon Breakpoint and now it's my new favorite game. A rare example of game developers listening to the fans and changing the game for the better!

I’m loving FE Engage. It’s my 4th FE game and favorite of the series. Almost finished my first playthrough on Hard/Classic. Looking forward to doing it again on Maddening.

I didn't realize till now that Warsong was known as a different title in Japan. I remember playing Warsong on the Sega Genesis and loving it. I'll be picking up the new Fire Emblem game soon.

Was cracking into Chained Echoes per your reccomendation (BTW it's awesome!) but dropped it when Fire Emblem Engage came out. Loving the game so far.

Love your videos! I already ordered FE Engage but it seems it will take a while for it to arrive.

I’m so happy that Xbox are finally embracing more “Japanese animation” style games such as Hi-Fi Rush. The ultra photogenic genre of games are ok but we’re not all “Bro” gamers.

Yeah, and these games are so much more timeless. In 15 years the photo realistic games will look crappy but the artistic animation will still look good

As a fellow FE series fan, who has Telius right on top of the list I must say Engage is so damn good. The combat is great and the smooth animations make it so enjoyable. The character customization for combat is at another level. I thought this game will be a disapointement and now my only hope is everyone plays it cause its good.

I took a 2 week vacation from work and cashed out my Pto so I could play fire emblem since it dropped and I’ve been obsessed! I’m about the same spot in the game as u and can’t say enough good things about it

I'm tackling Skies of Arcadia right now and loving it!

Dead Space is by far a marvelous experience. Love your Tomie shirt Johnny. Spooky, and memorable.

Ys Lacrimosa of Dana, damn what a special game, currently 15hrs in and just taken back by how wholesome this experience is. I've been holding out on jumping into the Ys franchise but the wife surprised me with a PS5 and I really wanted my first purchase and playthrough on the console to be something special, boy am I glad I took the chance on this game.

Very few games have been able to hold my interests lately. I'm glad I found Hi-Fi Rush. That's a lot of fun, a good pick up and play adventure game.

Just finished HiFi RUSH and it was a blast. I love to see unique games being made by bigger studios. It seems Xbox is embracing more of these projects (like Pentiment and Grounded for example)

Great content as always. Looking forward to your thoughts on the new Street Fighter game.

Glad someone said they enjoy engage more than 3 houses. The reviews were so divided i had to buy and try for myself. Combat is way better but i like how the bonds/support convos are there to enjoy if you want them or cooking and other activities but not a key part. The pacing and flow so far has been great loving it.

My son and I are playing Lets Go Pikachu..I know it's been out awhile but we recently purchased our copy. We take turns back and forth together. Also, I'm playing "The Original" FF7. Never played through the whole game before. I've started it and just have not finished. This is the time! Thanks for all the videos. your awesome.

I just started playing Owlboy and I'm really enjoying it so far!

I've been playing Hi-Fi Rush and loving it!

I'm still playing a lot of Monster Hunter Rise with my partner, and have returned to Fire Emblem Three Houses after a long hiatus because I'm playing alongside with someone who has never played it before. But also I've been catching up on my backlog of visual novels, which is ever growing because so far there were 6-7 announced for this year alone that I'm looking forward to checking out when they start releasing.

I saw the trailer and wanted to buy this game so bad, saw the thumbnails of reviews online trashing it and was worried. I watched your review knowing your taste is usually similar with RPGs anime etc. decided to buy the game, have been playing every day since! Best game purchase I’ve made in a while

Lately I've been playing Hi fi rush and Ys Oath in felghana and I'm having a blast with both of them! I love the stat and exp bonus system on oath btw, it drives players to keep beating enemies non stop, I'm surprised I haven't seen it in other games that released after this one...
