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.

| 85 69% | 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. "
|
| 75 41% | Habroxia 2 (2021) - Mar 01, 2021
"A good throwback. Difficult but rewarding, gives you a sense of satisfaction and a drive to push forward. I wouldn't say anything else is fantastic but it does what it wants to do well."
|
| 80 54% | Little Nightmares 2 (2021) - Feb 11, 2021
"It has a great atmosphere and some memorable villains that can be truly haunting. The story is told almost exclusively by the environment so if you're into games like Limbo you should like this. The 2.5D style mostly works but sometimes hit detection is bad. Certain sections where you actually have to fight are more frustrating than they should be. But besides those minor criticisms, this is a great entry into the horror genre and it definitely doesn't overstay its welcome because it's short."
|
| 75 41% | Panzer Dragoon (2020) - Feb 09, 2021
"I have no experience with the original so take this with a grain of salt. I miss rail shooters so maybe I'm more forgiving but I enjoyed this. Graphics were fine, the boss battles were interesting, I like how you have to shift views even though it can be a bit disorienting on occasion. It got progressively harder as it went on, which I'm unsure about, honestly. "
|
| 80 54% | Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004) - Feb 09, 2021
"The combat is really inspired and a nice continuation of what was started with Super Mario RPG. The story was okay but to be honest I never go to any Mario games for the story, yet the characters are lovable. It's a really solid RPG all in all, but I thought it would be funnier than it was."
|
| 70 30% | Shakedown: Hawaii (2019) - Feb 05, 2021
"A nice little spin on an open world game where the open world isn't so stupidly gigantic but you do end up doing a lot of the same quests again. Nice old-school visual style, a decent sense of humour. It's quick and to the point and it's fun destroying everything."
