Hollow Knight: Silksong-- FINALLY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
There isn't much to criticize here. The only real problems I had were run-backs for some things but it was pretty rare I had to run all the way back through some gauntlet or area. Plus after the 3rd or 4th time it's just muscle memory.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33-- 10/10. I would write out more but it's been a long, LONG time since I've been this into a game.
I really don't know what to do.

FEAR 3-- this was... interesting. After FEAR 2 and being disappointed, at least it was a watered down version of FEAR 1 (very watered) but FEAR 3 is just COD with bullet time and FEAR plot, characters but absolutely no inspiration. Horde mode is super simple and boring. Campaign makes 0 sense. 1/2

Vanquish--
once again I'm pretty disappointed by Platinum. Maybe I was spoiled by MGR being my first Platinum Games game. It's just way too good and stands as a top tier hack n' slash with the likes of DMC and GoW (OGs). The music is pretty forgettable and the characters are incredibly shallow (1/2)

Max Payne-- this one was long overdue. It was pretty funny and the bullet time system was actually very good, even now. The only time I was frustrated was the at the very end when there were 3 grenade launcher enemies that wouldn't die to a sniper headshot and it was hard to avoid all of them (1/2)

Blasphemous-- I didn't like this nearly as much as I thought I would. The art and music are amazing but the game play was disappointing. It feels like Hollow Knight with worse movement and a lack luster parry system. Most attacks aren't parry-able and just send you backwards. (1/2)

Kiwami 2--
the combat is SO watered down compared to Kiwami 1 and especially Yakuza 0. The ragdoll physics were funny for a little bit but mostly got really annoying due to bodies just flying and sliding away from me when I'm trying to activate a heat action. However, the side stories (1/2)

Ori and the Blind Forest--
this game was way shorter than I thought it would be but was beautiful. There's some bullshit and I felt that the game ended a little abruptly but overall I had fun. Looking forward to Will of the Wisps eventually. 8/10

I haven't been reviewing games for a while so im gonna do a rapid fire

🎉 THE BIG 25TH🎉

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was first released in Japan on this day, 25 years ago, on the Nintendo 64. (April 27, 2000)

William Roberts, the voice of Vesemir in ‘The Witcher’ games, has passed away at age 80

FEAR 2-- this was a huge drop compared to FEAR 1. In fact, I don't really recommend unless you want a broken story (these games are not consistent at ALL, having 3/4 timelines apparently) or just a random shooter and haven't played FEAR 1. Extremely disappointing.(1/?)

Metroid: Dread-- I forgot to review this game... this shit was so fucking good. Parries are always a great addition to me and they fit perfectly in a Metroidvania as a satisfying skill check.
I wish the game was a bit longer, even after 100% it felt pretty short. Definitely a solid 9.5/10

Happy Birthday to one of the best games of all time

God of War: Ragnarok-- it's been so, SO long since I've finished a game and felt like I wanted more. The ending to this game is bittersweet in a very realistic kind of way to the point that it gives me a melancholic feeling since it's just... over. The story kept me engaged pretty much the 1/?

Game review: Final Fantasy XVI-- this game was a little disappointing. I will say the big main story parts were really cool and fun but the sidequests are 90% dogshit. I kept doing them hoping they would get better but they stayed about the same. It makes getting into the world very difficult 1/?
