Nah Nah

This was an enjoyable experience. It really is a beautiful game and the gathering of the currency of this game added a nice little grind which made my playthrough a little longer. I finished it in about 3 hours after taking it relatively slow and soaking up each environment. The Cons: Standing alone, this game would be a 9/10, but since it pulled heavily from Journey and Abzu, there were parts that were slightly stale. It felt like a mixture of both previous games and it doesn’t have its own identity like the other two entries. Journey was a masterpiece, abzu was another great work of art thinking outside the box, but I can’t say the same with this game. I was expecting more originality, but it seemed like they reused assets from the two previous games. I also notice some cutscenes just jumped to the next level which was choppy. If I had to guess, this game felt like it was rushed out the door before being completely fine tuned. It still is a beautiful game, but it didn’t feel completely original. The Pros: The skating on your sword was definitely cool though. I think it had a much easier to follow storyline as well, which was neat to get through. As I was finishing the desert area and riding the dolphin, I was going to give this game a 7/10, but once you get into the wintery areas with the giant warriors, it really got cool. I was completely engaged at that point. That section was a 10/10. I also enjoyed the final boss which was really neat and cinematic. Conclusion: All in all, I would definitely recommend this game, but I would not recommend buying it at full price. It is a very short game, and it should really be a $15 game. 7.9/10.

It hurts to not give this 5 stars. I want to, but it falls a little short of what I was hoping for. I have thousands of hours in the monster hunter franchise, so I can easily consider myself a veteran hunter. It’s still a great game that everyone should try out. Let’s start with the cons and end with the pros. Cons: 1. Not a lot of monsters. The roster for this game has really fallen short and this is the biggest reason I can’t give this game 5 stars. The monsters overall are the best in the franchise but this is my biggest gripe. 2. The last local wasn’t that interesting. The first four areas you go to were great with the sand dunes, flooded forests, oil well basin, and the ice shard cliffs. The last location is forgettable and felt bland. 3. The guardian monsters felt lazy. I wish they’d just bring those monsters back and not make them guardians (odogaron and anjanath). 4. It’s a little too easy. I didn’t struggle much with any of the fights, and I even had a playstyle where I made it harder for myself, yet I still breezed through most (if not all) of my hunts. Pros: 1. The monsters are excellent. Again, a really short roster, but the monsters that are in here have been crafted with a fine tooth comb. They are very well designed, and they make for some of my most fun and exciting hunts in the franchise. Nu Udra is *chefs kiss* 2. The story. This was the first time they’ve gotten this serious about the story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. “The guild authorizes you to hunt this monster for the sake of the ecosystem” is a freaking sick line and has grown on me over time. It has some cheese, but if you go in not taking it very seriously, it is a great ride. It makes me want to try a new save just for the story. 3. Graphics. I know a lot of people have been complaining about this, but I have enjoyed the new look. There were a handful of times during my hunts where I would just be mesmerized by how cinematic some scenes were, so I am very happy with graphics and performance. (Ps5) 4. This game is the friendliest game in the franchise for new players. While I have my complaints about difficulty, friends that aren’t as seasoned as I am have fallen in love with this game. I’ve seen multiple reviews of people gushing over this game. I believe a big reason it’s not 5 star rated is because of veteran players like myself. With those things said, it still is a great game. I am happy that it is more appeasing to new players. There are some things I wish were different, but I’m going to trust the dev team that, over time, they will add in more monsters with the title updates and continue to expand the world of wilds. 4/10 (8.5/10)

I probably only have a handful of hours into the game, but I just want to go ahead and rate it now. This game has the most character out of any game I have played in a long time. Each time I play, I find myself laughing almost to tears at how goofy it is. From the very first cinematic opening to giving another player a hug to saluting the flag being raised while bugs surround my team, this game has been an absolute gem. It brings a good foundation for a typical 3rd person shooter with its own spin. The orbital strikes, new weapons, and the lack of ammo adds a little bit of chaotic fun while in the fight. I really want this game to do well, so I’m giving it a 5/5, but if it was out of 10, I’d give it a 8.5/10 mostly due to connection issues. I don’t think this team expected it to be as good as it is, so it is overloading their resources. All in all, I you want a fun shooter you can jump into and play for 30 minutes at a time, this is your game.

This was a much needed watch. I’ve been putting off this movie for a while, well, because I just am not a fan of modern day movies. It seems most big movies have an agenda, and it’s hard to get immersed. That is not the case with DnD Honor Among Thieves. This movie had me laughing throughout most of it, and rewinding some scenes just to laugh again. I’ve been a part of a few dnd sessions, and I totally get the randomness of it all. It was easy to get immersed and felt like I was watching someone’s campaign. The characters were all great, and I think they were explored quite well. I love the character arc of the wizard. The plot actually made sense, and the twist at the end was great. The only reason why I’m giving this movie a 4/5 is due to the cgi. It could be better, but props to using actual props and robotics and not solely relying on cgi. I will absolutely be watching this movie again with friends who haven’t seen it. Highly recommend.

Take out all the scenes of Millie Bobby Brown, and this movie would be a 4.5/5. All the Kong scenes with the girl who’s deaf is *chefs kiss*. I’ve rewatched this movie a few times, and each time, I skip all the Millie Bobby brown scenes. It is excellent with great fight scenes, good vfx, great sound, and loads of fun. So if you haven’t seen it, just skip any Millie Bobby Brown scenes except for maybe the last bits so you know most of the story, and you will have one of the greatest monster movies in our era.

I’m a huge monster movie fan and will go see most of them, so of course Godzilla Minus One is a must see. Starting out, this film was a 4.5/5 for me. The pacing, character development, and Godzilla lore building were some of the best I’ve seen. The scenes were also great, especially with Godzilla. (The boat chase will stick with me for a while. 10/10) It was looking to be one of the best Godzilla movies I’ve seen. Then we get to halftime. There was a slight concern with a stretched out plot line when Godzilla first makes landfall. I thought “you know what, I can over look that. It’s probably the only one that will be in this movie.” And in a way, it kind of was. But as the last half of the movie went on, I slowly was beginning to lose that spark that had me in the beginning. It was still somewhat interesting, but at one point, I was pretty tired of the screen time being on the characters so much and very little screen time for the big boi, Godzilla. I understand that they have to get a whole plan together, but I think they could’ve cut it down a smidge and changed some of the writing to get “the whole gang” together again. By the end of the movie, I was pretty much ready to be done with it, so it definitely fell down at the last half. 6.5/10 on that scale, and a 3/5 on this scale. Worth a watch in the theater, but I would not say it is a must see.

Phew. What a great game. I beat it the first time and thought “wow, what a ride!” But it was incredibly short, so I decided to play it again because I realized at the end that you could choose different choices in the mission, so I wanted to play it again. Second playthrough, it was normal, but I was way better do to getting used to the controls and everything going around me (can be overwhelming but give it time) but, much to my surprise, I had different missions from the first playthrough! I was pumped. So I played through the second time choosing the missions I missed out on the last time, and thoroughly enjoyed the second play through just as much as the first play through. I decided to play it again because at this point, I started doing research in the game thinking I beat it, and there are more missions on the 3rd playthrough! It was a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this game to everyone looking for a new game. Here’s the cons: The missions were pretty short. I’d love a 20 to 30 minute mission instead of the 5 to 10 minute missions. There could’ve been way more missions. I loved being able to replay and find new missions, but the amount of actual missions in the game (after the 3rd playthrough) should’ve been the amount for the first playthrough. I was left wanting more. I wish there was more “weight” in the sound effects. What do I mean? You’d crash through all this metal and crate containers and there would be 0 sound. I get it that it could’ve been overbearing, but man, I’m in a 2 story mech. I want to sound like a mech Pros You’re in a freaking mech. And my lord, is the movement smooth. Customization on steroids. I’d recommend all players to not look at any builds online and just experiment. That’s where I had the most fun. Great story. You really can dictate the storyline based on the missions. I played the extra good guy the first time, the bad guy the second time, and the.. ??? Guy the third time? (You just have to play it) The atmosphere is very very well done Cutscenes 10/10 Did I say you’re in a freaking mech? Overall, I’d recommend this game to all of my friends. There is a learning curve, but after a week of playing a bit, quitting and coming back, it was absolutely worth it. 8.5/10.

I wouldn't go as far as to put this to a 1 star, but I can’t give it more than 2. Let me explain: I’ve been out of the CoD games since the old MW3. I grew up putting many hours with friends and by myself in MW2 and MW3, but life happened and I couldn’t make time. Also, I couldn’t keep up with every CoD because there were just so many. I got back into CoD with the latest Black Ops because it was on sale. It was fun, but not as fun as the old ones. When this one drop, I bought it and talked my friends into buying it. We actually had a great time playing, so it was fun. Not to mention, it was an absolutely stunning looking game. I couldn’t get over the graphics. The bad part about CoD is the in game purchases. One particular thing I just got so angry about is when a new season came out, you’d have to go through all the screens and additional things you could buy before you got back to the main screen. It seems predatory, so I’ve decided this will be the last CoD I will purchase. I even uninstalled it and haven’t missed it one bit. I hope that a new contender comes around because CoD is leaving an absolutely massive market of gamers who just want a fun fps that doesn’t have additional purchases on half of its UI.

If you have an weekend to yourself and looking for an immersive and fun game, I highly recommend this game. I would really give this an 8/10, but on a 1 to 5 scale, I don’t feel bad bumping it up to a 5/5. First off, you play as a cat, and man do they do a good job at that. My real cat was very confused when I first started to play it, so if it’s convincing actual cats that it’s a cat, that’s a good sign. You can always tell when a team puts in a lot of love into a project, and that’s exactly what this team does. From the small things you can knock over to things going on in the background, Stray is a very immersive game. I really did enjoy the story, but it also made me so so sad. I almost teared up at the end. The robots that you encounter were very unique and creative and all had their own personalities even though they shared many similarities. The atmosphere was fantastic as well. It is a very well written story put in front of a huge backdrop of a much grander story that we never get the full picture of, and that is stuff I eat up. This game deserves praise because the music is great, lots of fun puzzles, little things that the team did not need to put in there yet they did, and just a good original story. Also, the price tag was absolutely worth it.

It’s a gorgeous looking game. The music in the first area and the cinematics are fantastic. That’s about it on the positive side. This is my first Diablo game I’ve played. I’ve heard about it, but never really bit into the hype until my friends talked me into getting it. It is a pretty boring grind loop, and this is coming from someone who has thousand of hours in monster hunter, which is a heavy grinding game. I found myself very bored after a few hours, and now I’m just bummed I wasted my money on this game. It is sad that these gaming companies put all their eggs into their name and can make a profit, when the game is just not that much fun. It seems once you get out of the first area, the music takes a nose dive in quality and ambience. I wish they would’ve at least kept the music at a AAA quality, but nope. It sounds like something from the 90s in some areas. If this game ever drops down to $15, you’ve ran out of games to play, or you just want to check out this game, I would recommend. But this game is not worth the $70 price tag. Blizzard, you fooled us yet again… please for those who are thinking of buying this game, save your money. It’s not worth it right now.
