Takes a new spin on trauma horror. Tried to guess how it would end, and couldn't quite guess it. Worth watching.

If you want a better origin story than Chucky with a sci-fi skin... then this is a movie. It has few surprises, is certainly NOT a new take on Frankenstein's monster, and is not scary. I found myself waiting for something new or AI exploits that don't come. It's standard popcorn fare. If you don't see the ending coming you probably got bored and checked your phone.

The visual media equivalent to eating a flavourful foam at an overpriced gastro-pub. It was at times a visual piece filled with much pomp and little circumstance. While having measurably good aspects like the courses of a meal, it's not remarkable as a whole..... and just like with flavourful foam, you will leave needing to eat some real food. Perhaps that was the point.

You have NOT played a game like this. You may see hexagons and a knight lookin' like a Warcrafter's wet dream of Lordaeron. Its not a stodgy RTS or another tower def reskinned. It's been absolutely wonderful to discover, and brings totally new mechanics to master. It's hilariously scripted with unexpected jokes from zombie sheep to questing for a tongue. Setting up, following, and then completely blowing up every trope a whole Necronomicon could throw at them. The mechanics are fun and relatively simple, (at first) with so many variations it can be almost endlessly modifiable for favored playstyles. Troop types, heroes, your own interchangeable ballista with different ammo for customizing to specific enemies during each fight. Ever thought as you lost a TD game "If I was that little knight I woulda been able to target the last damn guy!?" Well now you friggin' CAN!! Control any unit yourself at will, or throw down your commander and be the baddest bloke on the battlefield. Buy this now!!!!!!!

Just as bad as the movies. Don't.

Play Subnautica. Play Subnautica: Below Zero. .....Journey was was better.
