Mighty Morph Ball Powers There are games which I will play sporadically and finish after a few weeks or even months. Then there are games like Metroid Dread which I obsessively play and complete in just two or three days. In case you couldn’t tell from those two sentences, I really enjoyed Metroid Dread. Let’s … Continue reading Metroid Dread Review

A Streaming Announcement
This could be a big mistake but I have decided to take the plunge and enter the streaming world! I don’t know if this will become a regular thing but I guess we’ll find out. I would like you to know that I will continue streaming if everybody likes it but I will stop if … Continue reading A Streaming Announcement
Hades Review
Get outta Hell Hades had two nearly insurmountable obstacles to clear for me to like it. The first obstacle was that it was universally beloved. Now, I know it’s not fair to judge a game based solely upon if everyone likes it but I’ve been burned many times before by playing games which are popular … Continue reading Hades Review
My Games of the Weekend March 2023
Three games, one weekend. I felt bad about not having another review ready yet again so here is a list of games I played this weekend. All of them are pretty good if I say so myself and I thought they should be on your radar hence why I’m writing about them. So, without further … Continue reading My Games of the Weekend March 2023

God of War (2018) Review
Boy! I first played God of War a little over a year ago. Everyone always raged about how good it was and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I got about an hour into the game and decided it wasn’t for me because I didn’t feel like playing through a whole … Continue reading God of War (2018) Review
The Games I Want to Finish in 2022
There is much work to be done. As a joke, I thought about just providing a list of games with no description whatsoever for this post. Although I would find it funny, I don’t think many of my readers would. Luckily for you, I decided against doing this and will provide some of my thoughts … Continue reading The Games I Want to Finish in 2022
Tunic Review
Fox on the beach. This will be the shortest review ever here on The Pretend Gamer, I promise you. Let me assure you that it is not short because I hated Tunic. Far from it, in fact. I think it is one of the best games to come out this year. No, it will be … Continue reading Tunic Review
Mass Effect 2 (Legendary Edition) Review
Commander Shepard returns to command again. Yes, that’s right, my Mass Effect journey continues with the aptly named Mass Effect 2. Honesty is always the best policy so I’ll just say it right up front: Mass Effect 2 is great but it’s not my favorite game in the trilogy. There, it feels good to get … Continue reading Mass Effect 2 (Legendary Edition) Review
