I tell you the indisputable, objective truth about the quality of a game that I just played! ;)
Let's make this short and sweet. In Untitled Goose Game, you are a goose. Go figure. Your mission is to inflict mayhem and chaos throughout the fictional village by terrorizing its citizens. Tearing up gardens. Stealing from the market. Invading a pub. Each new scenario becomes just as zany and enjoyable as the last, culminating … Continue reading Review- Untitled Goose Game (Nintendo Switch)
When it comes to the Zelda franchise, Link's Awakening for Game Boy has always been an unsung champion. It is a fantastic adventure from start to finish, but it doesn't have the same power behind its name as the heavy hitters like A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, or Breath of the Wild. … Continue reading Review- The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Nintendo Switch)

My initial review has not been altered, but I will post some updated thoughts in the newer section.

I first played Stardew Valley in the fall of 2017. While I greatly enjoyed my time with it, things were cut quite short upon the release of Super Mario Odyssey: a game that kidnapped my attention until I had retrieved every Power Moon possible! I hadn't even made it to the Fall of my first … Continue reading Review- Stardew Valley (Nintendo Switch)
Back in 2009, Borderlands released into a world anxiously awaiting its arrival. First person shooters of that time had reached the zenith of popularity thanks to titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the Battlefield series, and Left 4 Dead. But a co-op, cel-shaded, irreverent, first person shooting adventure chock full of loot, skill trees, … Continue reading Review- Borderlands: Game of the Year (Xbox One)
(This is an updated review to include all of the game's DLC. My initial review has not been altered, but I will post some updated thoughts in the newer section. Feel free to skip down to the REVIEW UPDATE section if you've already read this before.) Original Review published on August 3rd, 2018 Hollow Knight … Continue reading Review- Hollow Knight (Nintendo Switch)
The current age of video games is a diverse one. We have been flooded with a myriad each of fresh and experimental ideas, long-running series that continue to impress, terrible products that are nothing more than ceaseless cash-grabs by larger companies, and a slew of spiritual successors to games of years past. Of this latter … Continue reading Review- Ashen (Xbox One)
Ori and the Blind Forest could pass itself off as an animated Disney movie: from the aggressively vibrant visuals, chipper yet moving soundtrack, and warmly endearing characters, it hits every beat of these famous cartoon movies that are so reverently adored. The main character even looks like they could be a close relative of Stitch, … Continue reading Review- Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition (Xbox One)
It is my experience that the best indie games often wear their inspirations on their shoulder, yet also throw enough unique ingredients into the mix to produce a separate course entirely. In this vein of thought, if Hollow Knight and Undertale descend from the line of Metroid and Earthbound, respectively, then Hyper Light Drifter is … Continue reading Review- Hyper Light Drifter (Nintendo Switch)
It takes a lot of guts to put “Ultimate” at the end of a game’s title, especially when concerning a series as lengthy and respected as Smash Bros. It’s an implication of superiority. A badge of achievement. Being the best of the bunch. Failing to live up to the expectation implied by the word would … Continue reading Review- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch)
