This is the best cooking game since Steven's Sausage Roll.

Seriously though, Arctic Eggs is great. The cooking gameplay is incredibly intuitive, but tricky to master. It's simply incredibly satisfying.

Arctic Eggs does a great job with its writing. Each person is a vignette, a small snapshot into this strange world. Some horrify, some make me laugh, but everyone has a place. The game hints at broader implications without spelling out all of the details, and the end result is an excellent bit of science fiction.

Fry some eggs.

Such a strange take on the Battle Royale, but definitely memorable. Turning the original Mario into a multiplayer battle royale is such a bold move, and the execution is about as good as you could expect. I respect it for the boldness alone.

The idea of spawning enemies for opposing players works really well. It creates moments where you can turn the tides on others by taking your hinderances and turning them into attacks by using a koopa shell to wipe out a ton of enemies and give another player a lot to deal with.

Super Mario Bros 35 is a silly, goofy game that was unlike anything else, and it will probably stay that way. It's a shame it's gone forever.

The best way to play one of the best competitive turn based strategy games.

AWBW actually has a lot of improvements over the original games, like having map designs that eliminate first player advantage, an approach to CO balance that recognizes that the COs aren't balanced at all and addresses this fact by splitting characters into tiers and assigning each game a different tier so players can experience both the high and low end of the tier list, an ELO system so you face roughly equivalent opponents, and an extremely convenient play by mail (through web browser) experience. If it wasn't for Advance Wars by Web, I wouldn't have played this legendary game nearly as much. Anyone who loves Advance Wars, or even just has a fondness for turn based strategy games, should visit this website.

This review is a lot like my CSGO review in the sense that I'm writing it about a game that no longer exists, and thus am writing this review exclusively with aid of my years old memories. However, I'd like to document my thoughts on the original Overwatch before they are too overwritten by memories of the sequel, and also I'd like to leave a record that I did play the original.

Overwatch was a super appealing game. I remember playing it at a friend's house during it's pre-release phase, and I remember loving it. The game was clearly inspired by other team based shooters, but it did a great job at making the game feel approachable. Hero abilities were easy to understand, but their depth came from understanding the right time to use it, where to deploy the ability, or just getting better at actually executing the move.

I really liked Overwatch because the characters had a lot of personality. Each character had an appealing design and personality that helped them stand out from the rest of the cast. I remember being so into the characters at the time that I was rewatching trailers and reading the comics to try to think about the lore of the world and how these characters related to each other. The great art extended to the maps as well. Every location feels so fleshed out with cute details that made spaces really fun to explore.

Overwatch was a good game, and I wish that it's original release was preserved in some way. Historians will want to study this game. Perhaps they might want to understand the way that moving from a 6 player team to a 5 player team changed the gameplay, but now that isn't really available to study. It's a shame that multiplayer games are now erasing their prequels to make way for the sequels. Yes, I understand that sequels might create a split playerbases if both games exist alongside each other, but I don't think that justifies destroying a game forever.
