My Reviews

The biggest surprise reveal is when you see Roy without his hat, I gasped at his bald head. Love that he's got such a supportive partner who's providing accommodations so he can still be the best Detective they've got, what a sweet ending! Like the base game, the puzzles are absolutely

Having a great run cut short by glitching through a wall and falling into the abyss, only for the game to say you have to "Fall it a day" is one of the most brutal things a game has ever done to me Rolled credits around day 25. I kept poking

The level of cuteness and charm is proportionate to the level of anime vein-popping stress and panic Run around in co-op with a buddy as a Possum and a Raccoon, avoiding the dog guards and eating everybody's lunch by the Italian seaside! Those fatcats have hoarded all the giant pizza for

A rhythm game specifically for musicians who play by ear, expecting you to hear a rhythm and/or melody and immediately repeat it back It's very clearly a Fall Guys ripoff (the menus may as well be copy/pasted) with a little more WarioWare in the games, but I had a lovely time

Tired: Uncharted telling me I'm a bad person for shooting mercenaries Wired: My own crippling guilt after picking someone's pocket and realizing they only had two dollars This was fun! Getting to be a rainbow-colored little scamp on a road trip to fake Vegas, robbing literally everyone in sight along the way.

There's a gamer boss that you defeat by shooting him with soapy water

Speed-daters ranked by how much I'd want to play this game with them: 1. Spooky Peter (He'd be a riot) 2. Dave (Pure positivity) 3. Gary (I don't think it'd help him, but I have to try) 4. Hattie (She's nice!) 5. Stephanie (She needs something to do) 6. Andy (Would arguably the best commentator) 7. Agatha

The PS5 showcase in the summer of 2020 sold both me and my wife on the system, and one featured game that interested us was Sackboy. Once it came out, reception was middling, so we held off on buying it. But when it hit PS Plus, I ran out of

The first Donkey Kong Country-like that I've ever played! The replication of DKC's aesthetic is beautifully done, but the David Wise-esque OST is the clear highlight. One track in particular sounds like it completes a trilogy with Stickerbush Symphony and Aquatic Ambience. I was shocked and impressed! The gameplay is ultimately

I picked this up because there seemed to be a consensus that this was the best Mario Party in ages, going back to basics after Mario Party 10 and Super Mario Party. I definitely agree that Superstars is better than having all players move around in a single car together,

Take off that mask, Suika. You can't fool me. I know what you are beneath that fruity aesthetic, and I REFUSE to let you hook me again! I got up to 2048- I MEAN A WATERMELON, I'm calling this game beaten now.

Hoa is (1.) a stunning display of artistry, breathtaking in its peaceful simplicity, but also (2.) underbaked and boring and I don't like it. If you've looked at any screenshots or footage, you'll already have thought "huh, big Ghibli vibes here", so we'll just skip that part. Beneath the lush, cozy

Was this game marketed as a VN? It probably should have been. The illusion of choice strikes again!! This is the most a point-and-click styled game has ever held my hand, to the point where it felt like I had no say in anything that happened. Dordogne is one of those

Incredibly brief, yet padded with plenty of frustration. I've been helping my kids with a handful of licensed games recently, and Bluey's debut title unfortunately has more jank than Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, and Miraculous Ladybug all put together. From a certain point of view, I respect the inclusion of 3D

There is very little in gaming that bums me out more than starting a game because of gorgeous visuals and a cool premise, then realizing it's practically a visual novel, putting presentation and famous actors over gameplay. The only thing worse is starting a cool action game, dying, and realizing it's

When Sports Story shadow-dropped back in December of 2022, I was concerned. It had been one of my most-anticipated titles ever since it was announced, but the state it launched in was pretty bleak. I told myself that I’d wait for updates and then I’d play the game once it

What a sad, slow game to fill the void between Pikmin 3 and 4. I'm sure there's someone on the development team who thought the meandering, leisurely pace of Hey! Pikmin would be endearing. But the end result is mind-numbing disappointment. It's technically a fine 2D platformer, but there's nothing remarkable
