4 / 5.0 - Tetris Forever
Nov 21, 2024

The documentary footage is very interesting and if you think of the game as being kind of an interactive documentary/museum display that might be the best way to look at it. If you are looking at the collection as a way to collect all the variations of Tetris that have been released then you will be disappointed. It is a pretty hefty price for the somewhat limited number of Tetris games available (I mean there are a few here… but the difference between them is not huge and there are some stand out titles missing)… so perhaps wait for a sale? Good to grab for the history of Tetris and if you are happy to have a playable documentary then you should be happy.

If you are a Sonic fan, this is a great collection of some classic levels with enhancements to bring them into the modern gaming age. With the addition of the Shadow campaign there's plenty of gameplay to be had. If you are new to the Sonic series, this is a great way to get a taste of different iterations and to learn a bit about the backstory of some of the characters. A great bit of fun and a stunning update on some familiar levels.

I quite like the approach of playing a human existing in this world of monstrous beasts. The sense of scale can be quite impressive and certainly makes you wonder just what it would indeed be like if these creatures existed. The general gameplay is fun enough, jumping about and breaking through walls to reach new areas. Combat is challenging enough but not too hard and even the frustrating monster events aren't so long that they are insurmountable. A decent bit of fun for a pretty reasonable price.

Even the undead have problems... help them work through their issues and you might even work through some of your own.

4.3 / 5.0 - Fabledom
May 27, 2024

If you can work around the resource supply issue… this is indeed a nice chill little game. It's not overly deep or taxing… but it's kind of nice watching your little town grow into a thriving city and the little fairy tale elements here or there just add another bit of charm to it all. It's not terribly expensive but it's not a huge game either so it's about the right point (but if you're not sure, just wait for a sale). Certainly worth a look if you want a city builder that's a bit less stressful and has some mild fantasy elements.

Is it worth the price tag? That's a tough one. If you've enjoyed the previous game/s and you don't have any in your collection at the moment… it is a good way to have that classic game with the addition of some extra modes if you want to try those too. If you (like me) will likely end up just going back to the standard game and playing that… it seems like a steep price. I'm not really sure the extra features add enough to the basic game to warrant the price tag and if you already have a copy of the original or one of it's other iterations… I'm not sure the new additions will be worth shelling out for another copy. But my view might just be soured by the story mode animations… ooooh I did not like them!

5 / 5.0 - Baldur's Gate 3
Aug 31, 2023

Absolutely highly recommend. If you were a fan of the originals… jump in without fear of being disappointed. If you are new to CRPGs, grab a copy and start here… it's layered but you can explore at your own pace and learn as you go… easy to start, not too tricky to "master"… or at least manage.
