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.

| 95 92% | Bunhouse (2021) - Oct 25, 2021
"Wouldn't normally have played this game because I'm not into this kind of stuff. Look, it's not the deepest game of this ilk. It's simplistic, you can't really lose so much, and it's small scale. It's for casuals like me. And I would give it a decent but not amazing score but I got to play as a fucking Dutch rabbit (my rabbit), so it's a 95, I don't give a shit. Love this game. But in all seriousness, the bunnyness of it adds to the casualness and makes it more appealing. "

| 95 92% | Metroid Dread (2021) - Oct 21, 2021
" The EMMI parts were the worst parts. Could be tense, but kind of got a tad annoying. The rest of the game is stellar. Cool weapons, fun to explore, badass moments, Samus still the hottest shit--love her attitude here, like she's out of fucks to give, the way she just disrespects so many things. But the few times she looks worried are more impactful because of that. Wonderful atmosphere, music, graphics. Game plays so smooth it's ridiculous."

| 45 9% | Neon Abyss (2020) - Sep 01, 2021
"I will almost never recommend a roguelite/like because they aren't my jam, so take this for what it's worth. I just try one out occasionally to see if I can get into it. It's fun enough with some interesting aspects, like kind of building your own dungeon to a degree. Action is pretty intense. As in most games in this genre, you can get stronger as you upgrade. I always have fun in the first run, die, then realize why I don't like this sub-genre."

| 85 68% | Dodgeball Academia (2021) - Aug 29, 2021
"Short game but the setting does get a little tired by the end because you constantly revisit places, which makes sense narratively but made me subtract 5 points. Aside from that, I love the dodgeball battles and how many of them feel different and introduce new mechanics even deep into the game. The story is charming and pretty funny, I grew to care for these characters. But mostly it's just the dodgeball that sells it. Great game."

| 75 41% | Chernobylite (2021) - Aug 07, 2021
"It's a little janky. You're given open areas to explore, which is fun, but because of getting stuck on things or not being able to go through certain areas, it kind of limits the paths you can take. The light horror elements quickly become inessential. The story is fine. I like the idea of this game quite a bit though, having to scavenge for resources and find people for the heist, even if it gets a little samey. A good amount of depth in the systems and the building."

| 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. "
