Finally a rom com we’ve all been waiting for! So funny and adorable and just perfect! Loved it.

Superb and simply wonderful game. Probably one of the best game I’ve played. The game has stunning graphics, mesmerising music, tight well-thought out controls and at its heart, a beautiful story and fantastic gameplay. It’s full of character interactions, fun combat abilities and has the great amount of creativity and challenge. The game constructs an imaginative world of interconnected areas with hidden paths and secrets, all about exploration and discovery. The further into the game you go, the more abilities you acquire to unlock more of the map. It’s a beautifully crafted world. (Note that this is a platformer game with combat focus, complexity and challenge. If this doesn’t sound like your type of game, then it isn’t for you). Comparison to its predecessor - This game greatly surpasses Blind Forest. Now, BF is a wonderful game and loved by many, but you could tell the studio put thought into improving upon it with Will of the Wisps. It felt more refined and elegant. Despite being such a great game, it’s no secret BF had its issues. But the devs fixed these and improved on it. In WOTW, the controls are much more refined and considered with easier mechanics despite the more complex gameplay. BF’s biggest issue is probably its imbalance. It’s known to have puzzles that stunt progress with less abilities to solve it compared to WOTW. Despite many getting frustrated, it’s still a loved game, and speaks volumes as to why WOTW is so great. One of the biggest imbalance and frustrations comes from the collecting of cells and save function. (Though there are mixed feelings about this). You need to collect objects to boost the bars; green cells for life, blue cells to increase energy, a blue gem to fuel energy. With the cells, most of them are more accessible in the latter half of the game once you have more abilities. Means it can be hard to extend those bars and stay alive as easily at the start. Same for the save function. With the starting limitations and the fact that you need to save with the blue gems, it’s not always easy. Frustrating for those low on energy and life. WOTW doesn’t have this issue. But what is a game without its challenges. Both games are beautiful and a must play. BF is nostalgic for many, but WOTW nails it out the park. It really is a well-constructed and simply stunning game, improved upon from its predecessor. If they ever create an Ori 3, I’ll be begging them to take my money.

It’s definitely the best of the 3 spin off shows. I had low expectations going into this as the Daryl spin off was a big disappointment. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was and really enjoyed it. That’s not to say it’s perfect. I understand why some had issues with it but I don’t think that justifies the really harsh criticism. The show has suspense, it has those quiet moments and the right amount of twists. I think people seem to forget that constant action doesn’t mean it’s a good story. The Daryl show was like this with nothing progressive actually happening - we dropped the show as we were bored and it completely lacked jeopardy. It was kind of like a not so good version of The Last of Us. Quiet moments or even slow pacing can be a good thing; you really see what matters, the moments build, you take in those subtle looks on people’s faces. You sometimes get more from these moments than large action filled scenes. The show also reflects the name; it’s dark, gritty, and grim at times. My only issue with it, which looks like others have too, is the fact they seem to have undone the peace that Maggie and Negan come to terms with in TWD, especially after Maggie’s big monologue. However, as the show goes on, there is an explanation of sorts for this and it begins to tie together. They do emphasis that sometimes no matter how hard you try, you can’t get over certain things. It also ties into Maggie’s and her son’s relationship as well. Agreeing with another review, it’s one of TWD’s better writing in a while (although I don’t think anything could match the first few seasons of TWD again) and because it’s focused on a smaller cast, you can really get into the nitty gritty and invest in the characters, which TWD struggled with as the cast was huge. [Spoiler - someone said that the show using cars is nonsensical and contradicts to the TWD lore as we know fuel isn’t in abundance. I think they missed the fact that they are cleverly converting the dead into an energy source.] Everyone has personal preferences, but all you can do is give the show a go. I’m keen to see where it goes as the ending opens it up for an interesting direction.

A beautiful show. An absolute must watch. This show broke me. It broke my heart, my soul and my body into a puddle of salty tears. It's written in such a beautiful way; the emotions portrayed, the life lessons, overcoming struggles, the power of music. The animation is gorgeous and the soundtrack emotionally impactful. Don't overthink it, go watch it now.

Another work of art. I've heard and seen mixed reviews about this film and I can understand why there are people who didn't enjoy the film or understand it. The film has a lot of hidden meanings, symbolism and themes that if you didn't catch it you may not follow it. If this is the case, don't write it off just yet, watch it again another time and you may see it differently. It's not the first time he has written a film that explores many themes and meanings before that you may not catch all in one sitting. If you did see them, you can see that it was brilliantly well written with intentional thought behind each move. Because of the writing and symbolism it is open to exploration and interpretation, which personally I love. If that also sounds like you, go and watch the film :)

Killing eve is an incredible show (season 1-3). However the last season was so disappointing. The pacing of the show was completely off and felt very disjointed from the other seasons. A few others who were fans said the same. There were alot of pointless things that happened. SPOILER season 4 1. Villanelles story was disconnected from the main storyline for most of the season. 2. Carolyn’s reveal in being part of the 5 felt flat as nothing came of it. She was an undercover agent then so isn’t really part of the 5 so that plot line felt like a waste. 3. Constantine just randomly dies (pointless) 4. And by a new character that didn’t do anything and had no real purpose (pointless) 5. What was the point of that random woman on the island that villanelle visited? She was nobody and made no impact to the story. 6. And after all the build up of the 5, we never got to see who they were, and villanelle just ends up killing them right at the end. We don’t see faces or have the impact the storyline should have like them being revealed at the start of the show with a goose chase and plot twists for who the 5 are. It was just over in seconds right at the end. 7. There is a build up of someone dying at the end, but the way villanelle died was so.. meh Overall the show is still worth a watch as the other seasons are really good. Just really disappointed with the final season!
