Ember (Em)

I've allways loved animated Star wars but I'm trying to be unbiased here. I think, all in all, it was at about 60% for characters and plot. I was quite dissapointed with Barriss's blunt redemption arc which felt forced, sudden and too quickly resolved. The betrayal of S5 clonewars feels underestimated in Tales of the empire since Barriss turned good so quickly. I don't mind a redemption arc AT ALL- but in 30 minuits to turn from training to be an inquisitor to being a Jedi again is just absurd. It could have been burned over a whole mando- sized series, not 3 shorts. And to end the whole thing on another cliffhanger of life- or- death? We're back where we started, just this time with a worse taste since the redemption felt so undeserved. 4/10 for the Barriss arc, though it pains me to admit it. The Morgan arc? 6/10. Tbh Morgan isn't the best character to have chosen. She hasn't got much internal conflict and a kinda boring character arc (though at least she does have one). These episodes were all in all better, but more boring. Not that lots of talking is an issue- but too much of it that is forgettable makes for a forgettable overarching story. I think it's the worst of the 3, Jedi and Underworld being equal with eachother (I reccomend Underworld the most though.) However!!! I thought Empire had great animation, lots of cool moments and some realy good references to Clone Wars and Rebels so worth the watch, but definately a slight dissapointment. 3/5 overall, so 60%!

SPOILER FREE This game is truly a work of art. Please, don't cause yourself the pain of missing out. The Midnight Walk is a cozy horror game about taking a little Potboy up a mountain. Reasons why are retracted from this review. Worries you may have about the horror: Honestly, I didn't find it to be 'horrible'. It was mostly just creepy and abit weird. No gore or blood. There are afew scary creatures (see in trailer) but nothing really gets worse than what you have allready seen. Dying sequences aren't too bad either. Artwork: The game is all made out of models, so the graphics are master class and with a VR headset you will really feel like you are in a vast, whymsical (and alittle scary) world. So many easter eggs like characters with later revealed identities. Story: The story is incredible and there are so many moments (mostly near the end) that connects to the start. You kind of need to play it twice to make all the connections in your head. Music: Never forget this- THE TRACK IS INCREDIBLY AMAZING. The piano theme and amazing credits music... Chef's kiss. That wraps up my review. Please play it. So worth the money.

My review is based only on the first 6 episodes, but so far I think it's definately worth your time. It isn't a kid's show (allthough kids can absoloutley watch it!) and anyone can enjoy the humour. SM-33 is incredibly funny and the pacing in the show feels believable and they don't get side tracked like in certain previous SW disney series. Fern specifically is a really good actor and I feel like allthough some acting can be seen as 'not good', it's probably realistic to a kid navigating new things. Jude Law as Jod is great as in the background you hear him saying or see him doing things that are just funny in the background like his background reaction to Neel standing too long in episode 4. I know starwars hasn't been good lately but I feel that this is a great comeback for SW disney!

Superliminal is a borderline 'scary' game. For a start, the whole idea of being trapped inside a dream which is getting more and more odd is kind of creepy, and personaly I class that as a positive, however young kids may not like the spercific chapter 'blackout' because allthough the blood is revealed to be red paint, it is very offputing and borderline innapropriate for younger kids. Back to the positivity- the optical illusions are masterful, and the puzzles will have you heavily engaged. I don't have the heart to take down a star just for this but I have experienced the odd falling through the floor glitch whicj to be honest is to be expected as you are constantly changing size meaning it is easy to slip through gaps at the bottom of walls and in the doorframes if you manage to make yourself ant- sized (which you can definately do) Other than that the game is a real eye-opener and is definately worth checking out.

Animal well is a 11/10 game which DID NOT fall flat of any expectations. The little seed pod you play as (it's affirmed to be a seed pod) is super adorable but also mysterious. You start off like, 'What the heck is this little blob of chocolate ice-cream doing?' but by the end, his simple concept really makes you appreciate your journy and how far you came with this little seed pod. The animals have adorable designs and animations! This game needs you to think outside the box to gain and use abilities, and this apparently 'small' game was a 20+hour game for me to complete and enjoy, without even collecting everything (or what we know of!) There wasn't a storyline but that's ok because it didn't feel like I needed a story- it is magical because I got to make up who the seed pod is and why he was there. And for ONE SINGLE GUY to have made the ENTIRETY of this masterpiece I take my hat off to animal well. Definately worth your time!

Tears of the kingdom is the sequel to breath of the wild, and to be honest, it's just a HIGHLY upgraded version of it. The story is 10X better, 10X more emotional, basically every element is improved. I was getting kind of sick of magnesis so ultrahand is a huge upgrade! There are ENDLESS things to do. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!!!

Webbed is a truly fabulous game that is absoloutley worth checking out. The idea of using your webs to explore forests, ant nests, hills and even the sky as a tiny jumping spider is a genious idea to set your creativity free. There are many fun ways to solve puzzles using your webs in these dazzling enviroments. Webbed is a game that paints a beautiful picture about friendship and teamwork as you set out to gather the 3 colonies of creatures together to save your boyfriend from the crow. The feeling of controlling the spider has been brought to no game other than this one: the controlls are smoothe and fun. To go the extra mile with webbed, collect all the stickers and fill out your scrapbook. Help other critters you meet along the way and gain fun rewards like skin changes and hats, even a skateboard that you can ride both in the skatepark and all around the map! Webbed has brought an element of comfort and relaxation to it's gameplay, making it a calm, enjoyable experience. The 3 colonies- The ants, the bees and the dung beatles- help you on your beyond epic quest and even reward you extra if you help each colony with their troubles. My only complaint is that in the main area the game struggles constantly and slows everything down on Nintendo Switch, but other than that I have no issues. I reccomend webbed very highly. You will not be dissapointed.

I couldn't be happier with Astro Bot. I've played Astro's Playroom, and if you have aswell you'll know how good the graphics are and how amazing it feels. Well I have news: Astro Bot is 10 times better. The unlimited creativity brings the charactars to life. There is no diologue, but you know exactly what each individual charactar is thinking. The relationship between Astro and the CPU is both hilarious and sweet, and his strong relationships with the other bots, as you will see at the end of the game. Astro bot is a masterpeice, up there in the top 5. It is clear that the developers had the playere best interest at heart, as you will see throughout the game. For example, when you collect the ship parts, the GPU, Memory, Cooling fan and SSD all sing together. There's a little place for astro to stand where it focuses the camera on the adorable proformance and even after you cover them over with the white coverings they fold away when nearby so you can still listen. The bots have super cute animation and personalities, finding them all is no simple task. Some puzzles are very difficult to solve, but NEVER difficult in an annoying way. I was engaged during every step of Astro's journy. Boss fights were INCREDIBLE. 2 had MIND BLOWING ends, which often involves some overwhealmingly huge obsticle or just really good animation that will make you go, 'WOW!' The bosses often take afew attempts but they're really creative and learning how to expose the boss's weak points are an engaging way to spend replays. FROM HERE, MAJOR SPOILERS The alien boss at the end was probably the best. Spinning the wheel to pick your chosen abilities was an absoloutley amazing idea, this means the boss can be played in more than one way. It's so emotional at the end (TURN BACK, MAJOR SPOILER! IT'S RIGHT AHEAD! BE CAREFUL!) When the alien grabs astro and tries to drag him down... Masterful. I appreciated the fact that a normal bot grabbed his hand and that showed how brave and amazing the 'common bots' are. Astro seeing them all struggling to help him... Then letting go of them and allowing himself to be taken away and killed... I have never felt so much for a fictional robot. It was also so adorable how the CPU was giggling at astro as he set her free, and at the end when he needed a heart. The bots turning to her, cheering at her to give him the heart, was just so funny. Thanks for reading, hope this was helpful. Look, I know the game is expensive, but just trust me on this one and give it a try.

SEASON 2 AND 3 REVIEW For me, season one was 5 stars. Season 2 was 3 stars. Season 3 was 1 star, so I'm basing this review off season 3 and 2. Season 2 was good, but degraded alittle from season 1. Season 1 got to the point quickly, had a clear villain, a clear objective, clear charactars, happy moments, sad moments. Season 2 was abit repetative and felt like "Let's spend the episode here just because we need to transport these alien eggs, even though it moves the story forward by 0.001%!" For a show with such a small ammount of episodes I'm suprised how much time wasting went on. Alot was money- grabbing because it added loads of animated charactars into live- action, including those we HAVE seen in live action but that we haven't seen for a while such as: Boba Fett Fennec Bokatan Ahsoka Luke Skywalker This was overwhelming and unrealistic because one guy in the whole galaxy isn't going to end up strongly envolved with over 5 famous starwars charactars: It's like me trying to find you from one end of the planet. This just grabbed money. The story was quite strong but weakened into season 3 when there wasn't a very clear villain. For most of it I was so confused about this that I thought Bokatan was the long-term villain. The fight scenes were quick and realistic so that's thumbs up! Overall worth the watch but don't hold your expectations above the clouds.

I want so badly to give it a whopping 5. And let's say this: the show itself is DEFINATELY 5 stars. The prison episodes were particularly good due to the element of mystery, which really made it interesting. The thing that slows the show down by a star is how appropriate it is. There's just no need for heavy swearing. It takes away from the magical feeling starwars can give you, and makes it hard for children to watch, limiting the show's viewers to adults. Without swear words left right and centre it would be alot more accessible and more enjoyable to watch. The show is alittle more violant than most starwars so I reccomend to parents that you watch it before your child does due to bad language, violance and some offputting scenes. Overall really positive, and worth the watch for all ages including children so long as an adult can easily skip one or two things.
