I adored Red Faction: Guerrilla! I just loved the world, the destruction, and even the multiplayer was great fun. It’s an excellent sandbox.
Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

I don’t think anyone hated either of these games, but they don’t seem to have gained as much traction as they deserve.
Secret of Mana for the SNES is my all time favorite game.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is also a great game that few people remember.

I loved the original RF but couldn’t get into any of the sequels. I tried, I really wanted to like them, but they always ended up not quite scratching the itch and I’d just uninstall and replay the first.

Secret of Mana for the SNES
I definitely played through that a few times, but in retrospect standing around and holding the attack button for like 10-15 seconds to charge your weapon was perhaps not the most fun mechanic.

I rarely used charged attacks. The only weapons that really made sense for that were the ranged ones. I was also very annoyed that attacking at 95% would deal the same damage as at 5%, so you always had to wait for the click.
Besides, once you get the first magic with Undine, it’s ridiculously easy to stunlock enemies, even bosses, just time the magic right and boom, just don’t overdo because a “single attack” damage tops at 999

I let the third character be the boy(Randi). I played the sprite(Popoi) and my brother player the girl(Marle). The computer charged the attacks and we handled the spells.

Marle is from chrono trigger. The SoM girl is either Purim or Primm.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I played both, Primm is the one that I remember. How I got her confused with Marle I’ve no clue.

That’s basically how most two player games of SoM end up. “Randi” is just a boring attacker and not particularly fun to play. It is also the only one the AI can really handle playing properly.

Ironically, if you directly control the others, you have a small window of downtime after casting magic, which makes controlling Randi better for magic combos

+1 for Secret of Mana. Awesome game.

As an introvert, I enjoyed Evermore more than Mana.
Still have my copies of both, though I bet the batteries are dead by now.

No one ever knows that one for some reason but Evermore was my favorite too. Loved seeing the dog transform to different breeds as you progress through the story
