    DOOM 2016 (Review) – A PC Revisit

    [Score: 10/10 Rating] Introduction: DOOM (2016) is perfect. Some of you may ask “What about DOOM Eternal?”. Well…I’d respond by saying DOOM Eternal is ALSO perfect.  I may sound like a fence-sitter here but hold your horses, and lemme explain. DOOM 2016 Versus DOOM Eternal: Gameplay Comparison Before I got a relatively modern PC, I…

    Jet Set Radio…Review?

    [Strong Recommendation]. Part 1: I Haven’t Been Able To Bring Myself to Finish This Game in 8 Years… I really want to love Jet-Set-Radio. Its bombastic art-style, its amazing music, and concepts APPEAL TO ME SO MUCH. So why have I tried out the game SO MANY TIMES, yet haven’t been fully interested in finishing…

    Pathologic 3 Review

    [Score: Strong 8/10]. Pathologic 3. A surprisingly contentious game. As somebody entirely new to the series with only the hbomberguy video referencing Pathologic 1, I REALLY loved this game. HOWEVER, when I watched a video essay about the game, it really brought out the very troubled and problematic development history that this series has. Essentially…

    Sonic X Shadow Generations Review

    [Score: Strong 9/10]. Huh? What do you expect me to say? That the universally praised Sonic game deserves to be the universally praised Sonic game. Well…yeah, it does. This game is amazing. Modern Sonic (Generations) Let’s first talk about Sonic Generations. Modern Sonic plays amazing. Since I still have the childish attachment to Sonic Unleashed,…

    Sonic Adventure Review

    [Score: Strong 6/10]. Sonic’s Campaign: Sonic’s campaign is absolutely beautiful. Emerald Coast, Twinkle Park, Windy Valley, Speed Highway and Red Mountain are bundles of joy to go through. So many different ways of engaging with these levels to try and get the fastest time you possibly can, with beautiful art direction to boot. The spin-dash…

  • Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Review

    Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Review

    [Score: Strong 6/10]. The Ranking System Philosophy: I really like the philosophy behind SA2’s ranking system though. It’s based on points, and you can gain points from destroying a lot of enemies, collecting rings, AND playing incredibly stylishly. The stylish attainment of points is one of my favourite parts about this game. You get points…

    Resident Evil (Remake) Review

    [Score: Strong 10/10]. Jill Valentine’s Playthrough — 10/10: Presentation: Okay, where to start. This game isn’t technically “PERFECT”, but goddamn…it basically is. Let’s start with the presentation. It’s motherfuckin’ flawless. Gorgeous. Magnifico. The original didn’t feel as much like a horror game as it did a puzzle game. Not to take away from its moments…

    Resident Evil 1 (PS1) Review

    [Score: Strong 9/10]. Jill Valentine’s Playthrough — 9/10 Overview & Design Okay, I’ve played Resident Evil 1 before. Well…I played Jill’s playthrough and I think like 1/4 to 1/3 of Chris’s playthrough. I LOVE this game. It is SO well designed. Jill’s playthrough is the EASY mode in this game, yet I would recommend it…

  • God of War II Review

    God of War II Review

    [Score: Strong 9/10]. Learning the Combat I understand it now. I UNDERSTAND IT NOW. For half of this game, I felt like I was playing it wrong. Like there was a key element or skill I was missing. I kept getting blocked and parried by enemies. I tried continuing to attack through their block. I’d…

  • God of War I Review

    God of War I Review

    [Score: Strong 8/10]. This game IS great. I LOVE it. Well…I don’t know. Love is a strong word. I certainly REALLY like it. God of War is a game that is designed to a borderline masterful standpoint. The story and themes are so legendary to me, God of War feels like a canonical addition to…
