In terms of the actual game itself, it's wonderful. Brilliant fighting game with stunning visuals and beloved characters from the Dragonball franchise. I adore the game and it's incredibly fun. I am, however, giving it three stars due to the fact that it's mostly impossible to play with anyone else unless you're on the same console in the same room. The online mode is awful due to an old and outdated netcode. Unless you live in areas with huge amounts of people playing this game nearby, the chances are that you won't be able to get any matches that are lag free and actually playable at high level. It's a serious disappointment because the game itself is fantastic and literally built to be played with other people, but it's unbelievably frustrating playing anyone in high frame delay. On top of that is another issue with the game's design, and that's the issue with certain mechanics that make the game easier, whilst also sacrificing fairness. I was grateful for the game's low skill-ceiling when I first started, however now, paired with an online that eats inputs that would enable you to punish these easy-to-do moves, it's frustrating and aggravating. Namely, these terms in-game are known as 'auto combos' and superdashes'. I enjoy the game to no end and ranked pretty high with few losses initially. But the main issues lie in the awful online system and janky moves that are downright unfair at times. Hopefully if a sequel is ever made, these will be fixed. If you're a fan of Dragonball, then I'd argue this game is a must-have regardless. It's incredibly enjoyable for fans and fighting game players, but the online reduces it to an aggravating game I wish I hadn't spent so much time playing in the training mode.

I would honestly recommend this game to anyone. The game is difficult but rewarding and I love everything about it. The dialogue, art, music and plot are all masterfully done, however this game also does double duty in helping people with mental health issues. It is a masterpiece and I cannot sing its praises enough; I truly hope that, if you're reading this and haven't bought the game yet, you'll take a trip up Celeste mountain someday. It truly is an unforgettable experience.

By far one of the most impactful, well written and well produced films I have ever seen. Performances from the cast are outstanding in every scene and Thomas Newman's fantastic score perfectly compliments the emotion in every scene and carries all the feelings I experienced of the film with it every time I listen to the score. The story told is relevant to this day and is one of the few films I'd recommend as a must-watch to absolutely anybody. Watch this film and study the masterpiece that is The Shawshank Redemption as it is to this day one of the most magnificent and thought-provoking films I've ever had the privilege of watching.

I thought Get Out was thought-provoking and brilliant in terms of plot construction, on top of it being a fantastically directed film that perfectly executes a multitude of directing techniques and displays both heartwarming and also chilling performances by the cast. Daniel Kaluuya does an outstanding job at coaxing the audience in for the plot twists that occur throughout the film; he masterfully performs the role of Chris Washington as well. Every moment his character is on screen, Kaluuya manages to keep attention locked on him and perfectly conveys the many thoughts and emotions a person would undergo in the situations his character deals with. The multiple awards he won for this part are wholeheartedly well deserved. Allison Williams is another that performs brilliantly in this film; the actress continues to trick me into the trap that is set up with her seemingly kind and credible aura even upon second viewings. Other times, however, she chills me to the bone with her terrifying performance after the main twist of the film introduces itself. A certain scene that comes to mind was when her character spoke over the phone to Lil Rel Howery's character Rod Williams; in this scene, her lines are spoken with emotion and kindness yet her body depicts a figure devoid of the emotion and empathy she speaks with. This scene alone chills me every time I watch it, and deserved awards for her fantastic execution of her character. Terri Taylor's choices for casting were a huge part of what make this film one of my favourites of all time. (For those who may be curious, I'm not a lover of horror by any means and was initially anxious to watch this film) I also have to talk about one thing I noticed from about 30 minutes in on my first viewing. The camera always made me feel claustrophobic even in situations when we're meant to feel safe which is another thing I love about the film - because Chris is rarely ever safe. The film makes it clear by the end that the only person he could ever trust was his friend, and the camera angles are a clever way of showing this. Finally, there are some things that I just have to talk about. From minute details such as all the buyers at the 'auction' wearing the same colour clothing to the fantastic to one of the film's messages that I talked about previously. The white people in Get Out believe that they are not racist and even state themselves that black is 'fashionable'; Chris is even 'bought' by a man who literally cannot see race due to his blindness, which is a scathing point that provoked plenty of late-night-pondering for me. Part of their motivation is jealousy of black people and an interest in black culture (though it is made clear that the auctioneers do not intend to learn about it, rather to indoctrinate them into their culture, seen in the way they treat Lakeith Stanfield's character), though I see another part of it as being a desperate attempt to prove how not racist they are. The members of the Armitage family don't value the lives of black people as is made clear, however, and see them simply as vessels for themselves to use and treat however they wish - essentially, enslavement. The last core message I found in this film is what terrifies me the most: white people can make black people uncomfortable in more ways than I'd imagined, and it terrified me to think that comments I'd make with black friends could make them uncomfortable. This film changed me perspective on what racism is, making it both a fantastic popcorn-muncher but also a thought-provoking film. I'd recommend the film to anyone of age, and its message is one that will last with me for the rest of my life.

A fantastically well-produced film that enthralled me throughout and also acts as a great depiction of young love and the naivety and awkwardness it brings. An absolute masterpiece of animated cinema that I would recommend to anyone, whether you're new to the anime style or not.
