I'm ready for this. Unfortunately it will be late evening before I get to play.

Raven's Avatar. Raven's avatar is an image of the box cover of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. This is a game that I have not had the fortune of playing because I never owned a Sega Genesis. The game is a side scroller in which you control Mickey and have to make your way through a castle to save Minnie. Since this was on the (clearly inferior) Genesis and not the Super Nintendo, I cannot give my full endorsement to his avatar. I can only award two out of a possible five stars to the avi. 2/5 poor

Boo! Castle of Illusion is a classic as you go through famous Mickey themed worlds like mushroom forest and toy box world... ok it's really weird. Also not as good as it's superior sequel world of illusion. SNES didn't have Mickey games half as good! I give Travos review a 1.9/5.7!

Eurogamer gave it 4 stars out of 5. Their highest score of the last 8 years no less.
I think I'll be skipping the reviews. I want to go in as blind as possible.
This is AMAZING!!! The sense of magic and gameplay focus is higher than BOTW. These mechanics are brilliant, the design is ever so nudging me to great content. The fuse makes all that useless crap you used to get useful. I am having a blast fighting enemies with so many options at my disposal. There are caves! Remember those! Love everything so far.
The building and puzzles lead to some wild moments. I made some car thing but I had the tires facing the wrong way so it just went backwards. One time I tried to build some flying thing made out of wood with fans, you have to smack them to turn them on. But I had a flame spewing sword equipped so when I swing the wood caught fire, the fan then spread the fire all over and my vehicle burned down lol.
Ah, if I didn't have a trip planned I'd be playing this all weekend.
I'm depressed. Instead I have work and dental appointments.
It about two days a brand new Zelda game hits. This is always a momentous event, no series holds as special a place in my heart. Yeah BOTW wasn't my favorite, yeah I was worried this would be more of the same but by all accounts it sounds like this is a massive step beyond what BOTW introduced.
The fun of a game like this is that every one of us will have different experiences as we play. Let's discuss all the crazy shit we build, the wild situations we get into and just general discoveries.
