[Awards] Old Games of the Year 2020

Welcome all, to the Old Games of the Year post! As usual, I played more old games than new ones this year, so let's go over some of them shall we? So, what did I play this year?  Stuff I've played before: I replayed several games this year because, you know I like doing that. I'm somewhere inbetween those nintendrones who haven't played their supposed favorites and proclaimed best game evers since they came out, and the people who play them bi-monthly.   Musashi: Samurai Legend( Musashiden 2) Samurai Legend is PS2 sequel to the PS1's Brave Fencer Musashi(Musashiden), and sadly unlike that game doesn't seem to be as fondly remembered by the niche crowd.

New chapters are a lot shorter than before, and this is due to the fact he has stated he will only adapt what was expressly written down or told to him by Miura and he will not attempt to flesh anything out, even saying he won't do things he doesn't remember clear enough. This will likely lead to a somewhat dissatisfying conclusion as the detail and fleshing out of things is what makes it so good, but still. I would say yes, do read it, just keep in mind that near the end of the Fantasia arc, you'll need to temper your expectations and only read on if you want to see this finally conclude.
