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.

| 90 81% | Scarlet Nexus (2021) - Jul 21, 2021
"The action is really cool and never gets boring, and the story is super intriguing. The models for the Others are great but you do end up fighting the same enemies a lot. That's a minor dig because the rest of the game is so great. Level progression is solid, the bonding episodes are actually interesting. I like the linear design of the places you go because I'm tired of open world games anyway."
|
| 95 92% | Metroid Fusion (2002) - Jun 27, 2021
"More linear nature didn't bother me, was invested in the story. Found it harder than previous Metroids, which frustrated me a bit, but it made sense from a lore perspective and it escalated power well. Metroid is usually horror-tinged but because of the situation, weakened Samus and the music it actually scared me sometimes. She felt out of her element. It's lesser than Super Metroid sure (but what isn't?), but it's of comparable quality ultimately."

| 70 30% | World War Z (2019) - Jun 13, 2021
"I don't find these Left 4 Dead type games extremely satisfying because they feel shallow, but it's entertaining enough with a friend (or a few if you're lucky enough to have more than one). It all feels decent although the guns could be a little more satisfying, the hordes can be a challenge, there's a bit of depth to the levelling but not much, the story is whatever. "

| 60 16% | Biomutant (2021) - Jun 03, 2021
"Open world games have come farther than this and its uninspired quests. I love the customization at the beginning and the fact you play as a mutated animal. The combat is fine, the depth is fine. The story isn't that interesting. The world is beautiful but empty with no real sense of exploration. The biggest annoyance is the narrator AND dealing with dialogue... clicking more than once to advance dialogue seems small at first but gets very frustrating. Wanted to love, lost interest quick."

| 100 98% | Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... (2021) - May 16, 2021
"It's an updated version of a game that I already thought was a 10. What flaws exist ultimately don't matter to me because the stuff that works is so insanely endearing that it's easy to forgive the not so great stuff. With that said, the main criticisms of the original (combat, for one) never mattered to me because I thought it was fine. Even the fetch quests in the first few hours were okay because it fit with the story in my eyes. Love the story, genre mixing. Also, GOAT soundtrack. "

| 85 68% | Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers (2020) - Mar 07, 2021
"I had certain issues with Persona 5 that killed my enjoyment but they don't exist here so I actually like this more than Persona 5 because, for the most part, it just lets me enjoy the stories (a lot of the requests are mundane though). I'm a fan of musuo games so the combat appeals to me. The music, characters, story, etc... all great. Does a wonderful job of making dungeons seem huge, which most RPGs can't accomplish, and I have a fondness for Jungian psychology which this clearly uses."
|
| 50 10% | Hitman 3 (2021) - Mar 01, 2021
"It's one of the best Hitman games and while I acknowledge that, I think my lack of enjoyment from it stems mostly from the fact that the series has passed me by. I don't have the patience anymore and so walking around doing whatever doesn't appeal to me as much as it used to. So the Hitman formula is still great, it's just apparently not for me at THIS POINT IN TIME. I could come back later and change my mind."
|
| 80 54% | The Medium (2021) - Mar 01, 2021
"I think one of the reasons I enjoy this quite a bit is because I am a wimp who just likes to explore spooky areas but doesn't overly enjoy being powerless within the game. So The Medium just lets me enjoy the story and the atmosphere while being occasionally creeped out. "
|
| 35 3% | Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood (2021) - Mar 01, 2021
"I expected an action RPG and what I got was a crappy beat 'em up. Look, it could be on ME that it wasn't what I expected and that's fine, but it didn't succeed in what it wanted to do. The story sucks, voice acting sucks and above all else, being a werewolf should feel awesome... and it doesn't because of some seriously floaty and unimpactful fighting."
|
| 80 54% | Cyber Shadow (2021) - Mar 01, 2021
"For the fans of Ninja Gaiden, as noted by pretty much everybody in existence. Platforming feels smooth, the game doesn't feel cheap, the progression is steady but rewarding, the story is okay, and the difficulty level seems pretty balanced. I never got overly frustrated to the point over some bullsheet that I wanted to rage quit. "
