Once upon a time a friend of mine wanted me to play Persona 5, as it was apparently the best thing since sliced bread or something like that. I had heard of Persona 5 beforehand (If I recall, it was in the first ever copy of GameInformer that I ever received) but didn’t have much incentive to try it, as I already had quite a few things that I was busy doing. However, after much persistence from my friend I agreed on one condition: He complete the 3 main games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise (1, 2 and 3). Said games I also thought were pretty great as I grew up with them, and still have a fondness for them to this day. Following his completion of each game he gave a in depth review of them, including story, gameplay and area rankings (my personal favorite part) and I picked up on that following my completion of Persona 5. Thus, the game trade was born and over the years we’ve subjected each other to games we’d think the other one would like, or in my case, be subjected to some of the most frustrating games in existence that I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. And that leads us to the most recent iteration, where I have to play Disco Elysium: The Final Cut.

Welcome to the Game Trade Review, where I give my take on games a friend had me play after playing it one time. Today I will talk about a game I finished over the holidays. A lovely game about kids getting their lives disrupted by religious fanatics and a mysterious disease. A Plague Tale: Innocence was never the kind of game you’d play for escapism, but it’s certainly providing even less of that today. It is worth noting that this game came out in 2019, so anything that happened since then has no influence on the making of this game. I’m not here to write some half-assed college essay about the role of disease in media. I’m sure there’s some interesting things to be said there, but I’m good. I’m here to talk about what I think about this game. So let’s get into it. Disclaimer: this review will contain spoilers.

Once upon a time I wanted a friend of mine to check out Persona 5. At the time this game was pretty much the coolest thing ever to me and I wanted to spread the word. I do not remember the exact details of how it played out but he ultimately agreed to play the game on the condition that I play all 3 main Kingdom Hearts games. My renewed interest in video games was starting to flourish at the time so I did not mind the arrangement. After completing each game we gave long winded reviews over text discussing what we thought of the game. And after he beat Persona 5 and I eventually completed the Kingdom Hearts trilogy we decided to continue the trade with a new batch of games. Thus the game trade was born, and this review is the result of one of those game trades. I figured since I have this blog site I’ve barely written anything in this would be good content. Furthermore, I took so long to complete this game so a longer form review seems fitting. And so, here are my thoughts on Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
