Bio: I have a twitter: https://twitter.com/flickmetictyler
I have a website too: https://flickmetic.com
If you want more of my movie opinions, pictures of a bunny AND some data analysis regarding movies (along with some other off-topic stuff occasionally), please check it out.
Don't worry, I will always post my reviews on Criticker too because I love this site more than my own family (don't tell them) and this has been an incredibly valuable resource/tool for me. Plus I appreciate all of you people who have ever reached out to me or starred my reviews. I can't quit you, Criticker, I just want to make some money at my website and hopefully someday quit my crap job.
Anything 51 and up is a recommendation, meaning you aren't wasting your time seeing it. Anything between 51-79 ranges from mediocre to very good. Anything 80+ is what I call a "Great Movie" and it's a must-see and is awesome to various degrees. Anything that's a 50 is something that I'm a fence sitter on (meaning I'm too useless to actually be able to make up my god damn mind) so it could go either way. 49 and under means you should avoid. Under 10 means I was probably raped by the movie or, at the very least, fondled. Despite the effort I've put into explaining my rating system, numbers are fairly often chosen at random (well, maybe my gut feeling) so I might actually like a movie I rated 75 more than an 85, I just really can't be bothered to go back and constantly re-do my ratings.

"Like many, I was all in on the cuteness of it when it was first revealed. I genuinely wanted to play it because this is what makes video games special. The story is surprisingly engaging... reminds me of the experience with Zootopia where there's more than meets the eye. The visuals have a certain charm too. I'm just not that in love with the actual gameplay loop. Makes sense to the game but it's not my preference."

"Really pretty much like Abzu was and a better game in general. It has elements of Abzu in the exploration and the emphasis on environment but you move around really fast in this. Pretty cool story, but sometimes the gameplay is a little basic. It doesn't really put its best foot forward at the beginning but this is still definitely worth people's time."

| 85 68% | Valkyria Chronicles 4 (2018) - Nov 22, 2020
"Even though I have a long history with JRPGs, this can get a little TOO wordy at times. With that said, it still builds up good relationships and stuff with the characters, I just wish that occasionally they would shut up. But once you get into combat this is awesome. It's my first VC game and I love the blend of strategy and third-person shooter. There are lots of choices to make, cool classes, intriguing scenarios, etc."

| 60 16% | XIII Remake (2020) - Nov 11, 2020
"I missed the original so I was hoping this would be a good opportunity to experience the game. From what I know, the changes here are dumb. But ultimately the game is still okay across the board. Some of the stuff is repetitive and overstays its welcome but there are good ideas present. The story is whatever, kinda entertaining in a way. My main problem is that the guns don't feel punchy at all so shooting people is NOT satisfying. Maybe if I played the original I'd hate this but it's mediocre."

| 80 54% | Roadkill (2003) - Oct 11, 2020
"There's some fun to be had here but I can't help but feel that had I played it back in 2003 it would have spoke to me more. That's simply because the technology behind this just got better. Driving now feels smoother, shooting feels smoother, graphics are better, etc. The city design is okay but hardly inspired. But I do like the satire; it's odd hearing it nowadays. I also wish we'd have more vehicular combat games because I miss them. The love of VC games makes this an 80."

| 85 68% | Paradise Killer (2020) - Oct 08, 2020
"Exploring the world is interesting because there are a lot of inspired locations. Plus, since you want to find as many clues as possible it really encourages exploration in a way few games can. The characters themselves are pretty awesome, full of personality, and they make the murder mystery fascinating. It's also sufficiently and endearingly weird."

"If I would have played this when it was first released I would have been devastated. Coming off of No Mercy a couple years back... this is a pivot to something a little different, but, it's shallow and doesn't feel like as good as the AKI games I played before it. Sure it's colourful and kinda funny, the silliness is endearing... but there's not much here the action is boring. "
