Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise2020

Nov 26, 2022

Imagine the worst murder mystery story you can think of. What would it contain? Perhaps it would lack investigation? Maybe the motives would be flimsy? Or maybe you have thought of the story where the villains are so painfully obvious that nothing about it is gripping? Deadly Premonition 2 is all of those, and then some! It's hard to describe Deadly Premonition 2 because so much of it is just a mess. Not a cute,…

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Nov 25, 2022

There are plenty of games about war. Some of those games will claim that war never changes, while others will remark on how its changed over the years. Xenoblade 3, however, struggles to say anything. Another 100-hour-long epic from Monolith is a third revision of an everchanging series, with new characters and mechanics. In a way it's impressive that no Xenoblade title is like the other, even if they do share some…

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots2008

Feb 11, 2022

I've always felt that Hideo Kojima is a really talented man, but a poor writer. I wouldn't usually start a review talking about the story, but Metal Gear is just one of those series. MGS4 feels like a creation that wasn't given enough time, written by a man who is extremely tired of his creation. Meant to be an ending to the franchise, it tries to do everything and fails at most of the things. The story feels like a…

Silent Hill 32003

Jan 24, 2022

Silent Hill 1 and 2 are all-time classics in the survival horror genre. While many people would argue that Silent Hill 3 captures the same niche or even surpasses its predecessors, it could never hold me for long. I have finished the game now, and I can finally understand why. Silent Hill 3 is a good and scary game, and it has nearly everything that made Silent Hill 1 and 2 great. However, it's this familiarity that…

Mega Man 92008

Aug 3, 2021

Mega Man 9 is often described as a game that started the retro boom in the industry. It's not the first game that decides to go for a retro look, but it was one that proved that such revivals can be successful. When playing it, it's hard not to commend Inti Creates on how far they were willing to go with this game. It feels, looks, and sounds like an NES Mega Man title. In the context of 2009, it was a joy. Classic…

God of War III2010

Mar 15, 2020

Sometimes there are great games which I wish I loved. I feel like positivity is underappreciated in video games. Because of that, I usually try to hold a fairly positive viewpoint of "it's not for me" when I dislike a well put-together game. God of War III is not one of those games. I should start by saying that I had little to no interest in the series, and God of War III was the first time I tried one of them. I…

Yoshi's Crafted World2019

Jan 8, 2020

Yoshi's Island was a great game that never received a good follow-up. Every sequel was either too different or way too similar. Only with the release of Woolly World we finally got a great Yoshi game after all these years. Crafted World takes the overall formula of Yoshi series - an exploratory platformer - and somewhat expands it. The levels have depth, and you can freely aim your eggs anywhere, including…

Baba Is You2019

Mar 26, 2019

I'm under the opinion that puzzle games can be as close to perfect, as video games can be. They are often simplistic enough to revolve around few central mechanics and ideas, which are way easier to polish than many of the genre-bending games we often see today. Baba Is You might look deceptively simple. After games like Portal or Talos Principle, it's easy to dismiss Baba as some sort of short game ported from a…
