Overboard! (2021) - Rated 30 Dec 2024
"While this is meant as a solo experience, I've had an absolute blast playing this with my 9-year-old. Working together the art of doublespeaking our way out of trouble has been hilarious. We are currently on our third play-through and we're thoroughly invested in the story. What I've heard, the game is somewhat short and once you crack the right sequence to get away with the murder, it may not hold a lot of replayability value, but if you are able to get this on sale – it's a definite buy!"
Goetia (2016) - Rated 05 Mar 2023
"Lovely aesthetics and lore. I was genuinely captivated by the story and surprised by the ending. But DEAR GOLLY some of the puzzles were unrelentingly ball-busting. Not only had you painstakingly study the maps inch-by-inch, you had to have a lot of speciality knowledge (ie. know all chord sheet appliances to a piano) and do some serious mental gymnastics to come into some conclusions. This is all fine and dandy if developers anticipated players to use walkthroughs but I prefer not to."
Pokémon Sword & Shield (2019) - Rated 05 Mar 2023
"I was wishing for a complete Pokedex but the gym battles feel EPIC. The audience chants and screams as you step into the arena with your team of Pokemon. You gain fans during your gym run."
Among Us (2018) - Rated 05 Mar 2023
"Funny, clever. Best played with mates. On general channels it's a crap shoot with children and apes."
Rec room (2019) - Rated 08 Aug 2020
"Habbo Hotel with updated graphics and less content. The VR version is a joke. It's literally a floating 2D video."
Spider-man Far From Home VR (2019) - Rated 08 Aug 2020
"This gave me flashbacks to AVGN's Superman 64 review. Controls were super clanky and sometimes unresponsive. Me and my kid were stuck on the bridge for 15 minutes and literally didn't progress past the tutorial."
Left-Right : The Mansion (2019) - Rated 31 Jul 2020
"The illustrations are lovely, but at its core it is simply a right-left memory game. If you have a rotten working memory such as I, you can either spend dozens of hours to remember the pattern or simply take advantage of a sheet of paper and pen and pass the game in 15 minutes."
The Room Two (2016) - Rated 31 Jul 2020
Later Daters (2020) - Rated 31 Jul 2020
"Fantastic OST and even tho I appreciate the sentiment of offering something gender/racial/sexual/ableness fluid, it felt too many times too concerned at it's righteousness. Many good moments were hampered by homilies. I wanted to be more involved with the characters, their sense of humor, taste of movies and heck, if they like pineapple on pizza rather than mulling on their disabilities, sexual deviancy, drug-use, family drama, etc. I mean. Those ARE part of us, but it doesn't make a good time."
The Tiny Bang Story (2011) - Rated 31 Jul 2020
"I played on the Switch Lite. Some of the puzzles were infuriating - relying on the player to hit on a specific pixel on the 1 potato x 1 potato resolution screen. On the whole the game was enjoyable but there were about three puzzles I simply could not have solved without googling them and they were not based on any sort of logical thinking. One puzzle mandated a player to align two lines. I thought I didn't understand the puzzle but turned out that the game was SUPER picky about the alignment."
