[Reviews] Movie Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 3

A darker mood makes this threequel tonally and structurally uneven; it's still grandly ambitious and a strong recommendation.

“This may terrify children,” I repeatedly thought to myself, sitting through a bolder but much grimmer installment in a series that’s often been content to be mostly lighthearted fare for families and young audiences.

[Reviews] Movie Review: Fall (2022)

Good stunts don't make up for an ugly and oftentimes intentionally poor script.

| Categories: Entertainment, Film, review | No Comments »

“Fall” is a minimalist hour and a half of compelling stunts tethered to a problematic and frequently unlikable script. Most of the characters are unsympathetic, the acting frequently fails during critical moments, and the resolution isn’t satisfying.

Game Review: Divinity — Original Sin II

A rushed storyline deprives the incredible turn-based CRPG combat of some of its meaning

| Categories: Featured Posts, Video Games | No Comments »

You’re either going to love or hate this game. Its turn-based combat is by far the most fun that I’ve ever played in a CRPG, but while I loved many character subplots, I had some issues with the gameplay balancing and especially with the main story pacing. Original Sin II is readily accessible to players […]

Some much-needed depth and easy organization adds welcome challenge to a respected if simplistic city builder

I loved this DLC a lot more than I thought I was going to. Seeing other people’s reviews about traffic problems initially scared me off since traffic was the #1 difficulty I […]

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Impressions

New Genesis

| Categories: Featured Posts, Video Games | No Comments »

Sega is weird. It is one of the few very well known companies out there that is pumping out games here and there with varying degrees of success that just seems completely random. Being probably best known for the Sonic franchise, it has ironically been failing to hit the mark in that regard, while oddly […]

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch is a tough game to review because there are a few different aspects about it to consider. First of all, is the game itself good? In short, yes. Secondly, is it a good remake? In most ways, also yes. But does it feel like a product […]
