Fire Emblem Shadows2025

0.5 out of 5 stars

One of the most baffling concepts I ever seen. Betray one of two other players or determine which of your teammates is a faker and debuff their characters when you inevitably fight them. It’s weird! It’s stupid!

HoloCure2022

5 out of 5 stars

Every bit as good as Vampire Survivors but gives you fomo at not understanding every inside joke

The Oregon Trail2021

4 out of 5 stars

An interesting take on the Oregon Trail. You recruit a party of pioneers and must rely on their strengths and weaknesses to handle situations. But naturally as average families they don’t even know how skilled they sre themselves. It becomes a role playing experience with your cast of characters and as such makes the game a fair bit different than others. I enjoy it a lot

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer2010

1.5 out of 5 stars

Absolute slop. I love that it exists, this VHS I watched 100 times as a child inexplicably revived by Game Mill. It’s a gentle collectathon platformer whose co-op barely works but honestly the characters are charming enough looking to make it worth buying at… severely discounted prices

Battle Suit Aces

4 out of 5 stars

I won this game off of a Minnmax raffle and man was it a winner. It’s a lot like acobalt core except with multiple ships and a fresh coat of Saturday Morning Anime paint. This games lengthy, gay, and a blast to get through. Highly recommend to fans of the genre

Star Wars: Episode I - The Gungan Frontier1999

3 out of 5 stars

A noble effort to explain ecosystems and living in harmony with them but really it teaches you that the Gungan’s greed and idiocy should be exterminated so that the moon can exost in peace. Functionally it taught that running a successful ecosystem only leads to ruin. Also that Boss Nass has to get his shit in every 14 seconds

Realm of Ink

3 out of 5 stars

I had hope for a stylish Wuxia Hades clone but its lacking a lot of polish gameplay wise even if the art looks nice

Donkey Kong 64

1 out of 5 stars

The collectathon is frustrating and the forced backtracking with five different characters makes this impossible to recommend to people without infinite free time

Pokémon Pokopia2026

4 out of 5 stars

Cute and creative use of the property, meeting new Pokemon buds never gets old and adding to your powers is a worthwhile sidequest. But also a good story? What?

ARC Raiders2025

2 out of 5 stars

To be honest I don’t get it. The peaceful exploration made it even weirder because now I didn’t even know what kind of game to expecrt every drop

Monster Hunter Wilds2025

3 out of 5 stars

The monsters are unmatched but removing the individual exploration and making monsters easier kinda removed a lot of the things that made the predecessors special

Silent Hill f2025

Fights are a bit too frustrating but what an excellent continuation if Silent Hill.

Blue Prince2025

4 out of 5 stars

The puzzles are good don’t get me wrong but there are not enough rewards for learning the mechanics. Too much of a run depends on luck, particularly around the toolshed.

Helldivers II2024

5 out of 5 stars

Buggy, unfair, and exactly how a game like this should play. They put fun first when making new content and I have a blast.

Silent Hill 22024

5 out of 5 stars

An excellent remake, James is clumsier to compensate for the better controls and elements are better portrayed through a modern lense.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth2024

5 out of 5 stars

Its a beautiful mess, no way around it. But the party mechanics and sheer breadth of the world is one of the best tellings of the story possible. I hate Gongaga with all my heart but even then. The way every sidequest helped improve gameplay and mechanics in tangible ways it made me want to explore the areas.

Cobalt Core2023

4 out of 5 stars

A chill citypop rogue card battler I love this game a lot. I wish it had a little more variety in battles but nonetheless

Fire Emblem Engage2023

3 out of 5 stars

The tactics are decent but the characters are a bit too one note and the hub world is a bit of a chore to hit all the requirements

Final Fantasy XVI2023

3 out of 5 stars

A decent character action game when it should have just been an RPG. I wish Final Fantasy would make a game like FFVII Remake mechanics for a new property and am shocked they will not.

Starfield2023

2 out of 5 stars

I have an unironic fascination with the planet Uranus. It’s an ice giant, it’s pale green, and spins sideways. I was hoping for a game that self-described as NASA-punk to let you explore what that world looks like up close but when I approached it was just a big glitchy mess. Whats up with that

Heaven Burns Red2022

5 out of 5 stars

I want to shout out this game especially because it really felt like entering Angel Beats, an anime of which this game is a spiritual successor. It was hilarious, the writing was snappy, and the backstories were just cold and heartbreaking. The music also is a standout; She is Legend stays in my rotation. additionally the gacha is fine; you get plenty of opportunities to get your favorite characters, the pool stays…

Trek to Yomi2022

1 out of 5 stars

I feel a little bad dumping on a small game like this but the upgrades are special moves and the special moves are always interrupted by enemy inputs, so you are better off just spamming normal attack. Bad balance, worst feeling game I ever played

Twelve Minutes2021

I respect the a-list cast and unhingedness of the story. Maybe this is The Room of video gamss

Hitman 32021

5 out of 5 stars

The rogue-like mode is inspired and this is the best way to olay modern hitman. Really smart of them to sell it all combined now but god it was a headache for years

World of Horror2020

5 out of 5 stars

An imperfect game but if I could give Fuser five stars for its modding scene I can do it here too. The PERM extension allows you to functionally add anything and everything to this game and the dev was kind enough to show how to add in vanilla elements with art. Its a labor od love done by a single very busy man but with just a little support it can be so much more. One of my favorite games ever. Captures the mood…

Fuser2020

The modding scene makes it and supports it a million times more than the devs ever did. Make yourself feel like Neil cicierega and download this game!

Devotion2019

2.5 out of 5 stars

The mood is immaculate and one of the most emotionally evocative stunning games I ever played.

Luigi's Mansion 32019

4 out of 5 stars

Maybe a better game than one but just a little too straightforward for my taste. A ton of fun ideas but idk; I felt some ghosts were more of a character in the original I guess.

Death Stranding2019

1 out of 5 stars

I can’t respect this plot. Cradling the baby, the foreshadowing of his touch a phobia. The insistence we all know he has touchaphobia. Kojimas a hack actually

Life Is Strange 22018

4 out of 5 stars

Playing this in 2025 removed any optimism this game attempted concerning our Mexican-American leads. Your brother is a good boy. But the violent ending is the only way.
