Ethan Anderson's Reviews

Lover of RPGs and all things Zelda, Dragon Age, Pokémon, or Tales related. Can usually be found either struggling/failing to get 100% completions, or praying for a Jak 4.

Switch – Or Die Trying is truly a platformer that was made for the diehard fans of the genre.

Impact Winter can be an immersive survival game for those who are able to look past the technical issues that could possibly hurt the gameplay for some.

These positives tend to be forgotten though, and can be completely eclipsed by the game's main pitfalls. The frame rate is unacceptable at times, which then affects the already subpar combat. These issues, combined with the numerous crashes, took me out of the experience more than a few times. Sadly, these negatives are nigh impossible to overlook.

Gorogoa definitely falls into the category of games that I wish were longer, but it is difficult to find many genuine faults with the game.

The gameplay inconveniences are easier to overlook than the rush of endgame exposition, but both of these issues are slightly outweighed by the narrative hits, which come along more frequently than the game's misses.

Mugsters is a game that contains a good amount of entertainment, and the short length allows for some quick, explosion-based enjoyment.

The Mooseman is a game that feels like it accomplishes what it sets out to do, for the most part.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier creates an engaging narrative that makes both the humans' and apes' predicaments and actions understandable, even when violence is involved. I truly cared about characters on both sides of the conflict, which made for some tough decisions when the two sides would clash.

There is some enjoyment to be had in Sigi – A Fart for Melusina, but that fun quickly dissipates when you begin to feel like an unstoppable force in every level, including boss stages. Searching for hidden caves and grabbing a few hard to reach items definitely adds entertainment value, but the brief 20 level experience is made even shorter by a serious lack of truly fulfilling gameplay.

Anodyne is indeed reminiscent of 2D Zelda titles, but it manages to not be bound by comparisons as it offers a fresh and welcome take on this style of game.

The Shapeshifting Detective truly does make the player feel as though they’re controlling the main character in a murder mystery TV show.

Post-apocalyptic West Virginia is described as a “wasteland,” and this term paints an inadvertent but accurate picture of what Fallout 76 is right now.

Sundered is a game that is able to constantly give players that “one more time” feeling by providing multiple ways to overcome its many hurdles.

JackQuest attempts to blend genre features together with its platforming and metroidvania elements, but it ends up being quite average in execution in almost all aspects.

Jump Force somehow only achieves mediocrity at best despite the star power found on its roster and the potential that comes with that cast. The characters are indeed faithfully recreated, stylish abilities and all, but nothing feels seamless.

No matter how you felt about the first game, The Division 2 is likely to please players on all sides of the conversation. Ubisoft has taken criticisms to heart, and made changes that capitalize on the series' potential in ways the first game never did.

The Last of Us 2 is an emotional rollercoaster that doesn't always hit the mark with what it tries to pull off. It does, however, provide enough amazing highs to outweigh its unfortunate lows.

Fairy Tail is an occasionally charming game for fans at best, and an incredibly repetitive RPG at worst.

The best parts of Amalur are still intact, but with the caveats of the visual bugs, outdated look, and endless sprinting, you’ll need to keep those rose-colored glasses on for the entire playthrough.

Little effort was put into modernizing Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and somehow, that's still more than enough.
