FAR: Lone Sails Review
A thoughtful journey about what we leave behind. FAR: Lone Sails is a lonely journey through a world that is past its prime. You play as a red-clad individual (the game never really specifies if it’s human or not) who must guide a large homemade vehicle through the remains of what once was a highly … Continue reading FAR: Lone Sails Review
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Special Episode Review
It’s time for adventure…again! In 2018, I gave Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker a Pretendie for Most Fun Game. Therefore, I was excited when Nintendo revealed that there would be DLC for the game called the Special Episode. I have since purchased said DLC and I have to say that it is just as fun as … Continue reading Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Special Episode Review
Ape Out Review
Bustin’ out. I must admit to you all that I’m more of a story guy when it comes to video games. I thoroughly enjoy being engrossed in a grand tale in a video game. That’s just the way I am. Every once in a while, however, a game comes along where its great gameplay sucks … Continue reading Ape Out Review
Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! Review
The nostalgia is strong in this one. There’s a scene at the end of Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! (minor spoiler ahead) where it shows your character, the freshly minted Pokémon Champion, going back home. This scene strongly resonated with me since it perfectly summed up my feelings for the game. I had finally come home. … Continue reading Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! Review
Bayonetta 2 Review
The absurdity continues. Imagine, for a moment, a young lady in a beautiful dress walking down a busy city street. She is being followed by a short foulmouthed Italian-American man. She’s out on the town so of course she wouldn’t be expected to carry her own bags thus the man is carrying them. Since it’s … Continue reading Bayonetta 2 Review
The Quiet Man: Answered Review
Second time’s the charm, right? As promised, here is my review of the second playthrough of The Quiet Man. Subtitled Answered, this version comes with sound (unlike the first time) and that is really the only difference. Although the addition of sound doesn’t seem like it would change much, I would argue that it did … Continue reading The Quiet Man: Answered Review
Mario Kart 64 Biased Review
Select your player. Author’s Note: This is the first in a semi-regular series I’m starting for the blog. As the title states, every entry in this series will be a 100% biased review of the game in question and each one will receive a final score of 11/10. Yes, that’s right, 11/10. The reviews will … Continue reading Mario Kart 64 Biased Review
Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
The series takes a few steps towards being an RPG. I feel I must start this review off by stating this simple fact: I haven’t played a single Assassin’s Creed game since the original one released way back in 2007. Some may believe that this disqualifies me from reviewing Origins, but I disagree. I believe … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
