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
Final Fantasy VII Remake Review
Tifa and Cloud and Barrett, oh my! If you can all remember, I once promised that I would play through and review all the mainline Final Fantasy games starting with Final Fantasy VI. Well, I’m here to report that in all that time I have managed to finish Final Fantasy VI and the Midgar portion … Continue reading Final Fantasy VII Remake Review
Axiom Verge 2 Review
Those of you who read my last post probably thought you would never have to hear about Axiom Verge ever again. Well, think again, because now it’s time to talk about Axiom Verge 2! Axiom Verge 2 is, as would be expected, the sequel to Axiom Verge. I really enjoyed my time with Axiom Verge … Continue reading Axiom Verge 2 Review
Axiom Verge Review
I couldn't think of anything clever to write for the subhead so just pretend something witty is written here. I was in the mood for something different the other day and so I decided to try out a game in the Metroidvania genre. The only Metroidvania type of game I’ve ever played is Star Wars … Continue reading Axiom Verge Review
Mass Effect Review
Third time's the charm. I distinctly remember playing Mass Effect for the first time. I was in college and a few of my friends were hanging out in my dorm room and I decided that that was the time to play Mass Effect. I booted it up and finished the very first mission on the … Continue reading Mass Effect Review
Death’s Door Review
My little crow. I almost didn’t buy Death’s Door. I had pre-ordered the game after seeing its E3 trailer but I got cold feet as the release date got closer. The reason I had second thoughts was that it was looking increasingly likely that Death’s Door was going to be another indie game that embraced … Continue reading Death’s Door Review
Resident Evil Village Review
And now for something different. Since I’ve been lucky enough to have gathered a somewhat sizable audience by now (at least one that’s bigger than I ever thought it’d be), I feel like we should be honest with each other. I usually do not play horror games and the reason is quite simple: I scare … Continue reading Resident Evil Village Review
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
I decided to try something a little different today with my review of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy. Consequently, there will not be a written version. The structure of the review is such that it only works in video form. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I did making it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF7pdLe6LDQ … Continue reading Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
Yakuza 4 Remastered Review
YouTube video can be found here. The cast keeps on growing. It’s a new(ish) year and you know what that means: it’s time for another Yakuza review! I don’t want to spoil my own review here but, as one commenter on my Yakuza 3 video said, “Yakuza games are always good” and, luckily for us … Continue reading Yakuza 4 Remastered Review
