Bio: Hi! I like movies. I also like things that aren't movies. Like Cupcakes. and Corgies.
I don't review short films.
For increased precision and accuracy, I'm only ranking films I've seen since around early 2007.

| 88 86% | Inside (2016) - Rated 22 May 2024
"An eerie, unsettling yet beautiful meditation on the dehumanizing effects of authoritarianism and the enduring spirit of collective struggle against it."
|
| 75 30% | Star Control II (1992) - Rated 20 May 2024
"Haven't played more than an couple of hours, but wanted to let everyone know that there's a free open source HD remake available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/urquanmastershd/"

| 78 38% | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017) - Rated 19 May 2024
"Second-best Mario Kart after Double Dash, and has great online multiplayer system. It's a well refined iteration of a familiar formula."
|
| 85 78% | Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (2010) - Rated 19 May 2024
"While I'd go short of calling it a masterpiece, it is very good, with a unique and charming visual style, a catchy score, and an engrossing plot that expertly replicates the intrigue and twist-filled plots of film noir. A relatively unique experience in gaming, even over a decade after it's release. I'd love to what other ideas Takumi could come up with if Capcom ever let him work on something other than Ace Attorney."

| 80 50% | Super Mario World (1990) - Rated 04 May 2024 |
| 70 19% | Mario's Super Picross (1995) - Rated 04 May 2024
"I think picross is my favourite of the crossword/sudoku/games-to-play-while-you-listen-to-the-news genre. But how on earth do you rank it, when it's fundamentally the same experience every single time?"
|
| 83 64% | Okami (2006) - Rated 25 Apr 2024
"Highly recommend playing on the Switch, touch-screen controls are absolutely the best way to play Okami. I enjoyed the world, aesthetic and story, although the third act felt rushed and incomplete. There's a level of charm, artistry and creativity that still makes the game stand out so many years later."
|
| 60 5% | Ghosts 'n Goblins (1985) - Rated 12 Apr 2024
"Would absolutely be willing to call this the hardest game ever made. I would have a better chance becoming an Olympic Athlete than ever finishing this."
|
| 83 64% | We Love Katamari (2005) - Rated 12 Apr 2024
"The "story" isn't quite as clever, witty, or engaging as the first Katamari game, but We Love Katamari makes up for it by refining and improving the gameplay of the original, with a larger variety of levels, game modes and a number of interesting twists on the formula. While I think the first Katamari stands up better on it's as a piece of narrative art, the improved gameplay of the sequeal means that this is the game I'd be more likely to replay."
|
| 85 78% | Katamari Damacy (2004) - Rated 12 Apr 2024
"20 Years later, and this still feels like one of most unique and creative games I've ever played. From the colourful aesthetic and catchy soundtrack, to the simple-to-learn-hard-to-master core gameplay loop, to the absurdist comedy that both parodies Abrahamic religions and satirizes Japanese fatherhood, it really is a complete artistic package."
