All reviewsMega Man X31995
4 out of 5 starsHey, get this. There are 8 robots and Mega Dude is gonna get 'em! Right!? Good stuff all around with that. The major issues is we've seen this rodeo many times already. Is X actually gonna give it to us, or have we tread the same path too often? Zero is playable. Just don't die. Changes to the mechanics of the game do not show up until parts of the X armor start to be acquired, since we always throw the armor in the…
Mega Man X21994
2 out of 5 starsMega Man X2 is a follow up to the mold breaking Mega Man X1 . We are again tasked as being X and again sent out to destroy 8 robot masters Mavericks . It is 6 months after the defeat of sigma and X is still working on saving the world. Oh, and Zero is dead. The game has a great mechanical change with X being able to dash by default now as canonically, X will have the dash boots from X1. I found that the dash…

Jan 26, 2022
Year Summary: One of the things that stuck out to me was how much I wanted to do the act of "grinding," , where you just do a repetitive task for moderate character improvement, in video games in 2021. It was pretty critical to helping me get through so many dang books and podcasts. I read 56 books in 2021. This was an improvement on almost zero in 2020 and virtually none since college. The rep...
The Active Reload in Returnal Should Feel Better
May 14, 2021
originally posted on my blog at https://justis.zone/posts/post_20210512-active-reload-should-feel-better/ I’m only a couple hours into the video game Returnal and I’ve come to a strange realization - The active reload is using the wrong stimuli for how my brain works. Specifically, the noise that comes from the controller, the specific way the controller rumbles, and the information presented o...
GOTY 2020 - A Return to Days of Yore
Dec 23, 2020
Games were not a priority in 2020. They never are a priority but they are a thing usually to make time for. My relationship with games this year was a real roller-coaster so I've laid out what my year looked like to hopefully provide some needed context. I put these thoughts in spoiler blocks so that you can skip them if you'd like. I had a really hard time after finishing my last big JRPG of t...
GOTY 2019 - Heads in the Sand
Dec 15, 2019
I am going to skip the beginning of a Game of the Year list where I recap small details that have occurred in our world. I don't do this as some sort of easy out or as a way to avoid confrontation. I am doing it because I spent all of 2019 avoiding 2019. I gave it the side-eye, I engaged in "discourse" until my mouth was dry and my throat hurt from screaming, I even started working out again. I...
Looking Back at WayForward
Sep 29, 2019
Every single time I have sat down to play Double Dragon Neon I am almost always a little drunk. I don't mean that as a way to detract from what the game does well. I mean it in that I am almost always drawn to the game in a specific mood. I was inspired to go back and take a second look at this game after finishing WayForward Technologies 's new game, River City Girls, and because, well, I was...
Copy Pasta - game of the year 2016
Dec 11, 2018
GOTY 2016 1. Doom This is the DOOM your parents were afraid of in the 90s. DOOM (2016) feels like the DOOM 1 and 2 of yore. You play as a guy dubbed “The DoomBringer” that shoots demons in the face with a shotgun while never not moving. This game undoes the sin of making DOOM 3 a pretty alright survival horror game. It makes you forget that the modes that are not the campaign seem to be forgott...
