Andrew Stretch's Reviews

I am a Senior Writer for TechRaptor and I have a passion for most things Video Games and Technology. I picked up my first video games before the age of two and it has been difficult to keep me away from them since then. Nowadays I mostly play games on the Xbox One but have also been known to hop across to the PlayStation 4.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom manages to maintain the sense of adventure that Breath of the Wild instilled but elevate it even further with the implementation of deep new crafting mechanics and abilities while specifically addressing and improving the weapon system, difficulty, and story.

10 / 10.0 - Animal Well
May 9, 2024

Animal Well is a game that promised platforming and puzzles and has managed to absolutely nail both in execution. Platforming fans will have an enjoyable time reaching the credits and will be content to set it down while puzzle gamers will be enamored by the depth that Animal Well has been able to achieve. You won't get more satisfied by a game solving puzzles like these.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle delivers an action-packed and entertaining Indy adventure the likes of which we haven't seen in over a decade. With engaging combat, a vast world to explore, and entertaining (if a bit simple) puzzles to solve, a fan of adventure games should be hooked from start to finish.

9.5 / 10.0 - Final Fantasy XVI
Jun 21, 2023

Final Fantasy XVI is everything I could have hoped for and more. Combat is fast paced and rewarding as you master combos and abilities. Eikon fights, while not as interesting to play, are gorgeous to witness. All of this is wrapped up into a deep story and fully fleshed out world that you'll want to be protecting.

9.5 / 10.0 - Blue Prince
Apr 7, 2025

Blue Prince is absolutely top of it's field in gameplay, worldbuilding, and puzzle implementation. Constantly, players will find themselves pulling on red twine and the result is always satisfying. RNG is certainly not always your friend, though.
