Bomberman '94
1993
Pour one out for the pink kangaroo that can dance and do literally nothing else. My new best friend.
Bomberman '93

To be honest, if each level is only going to give a single item, and that item just so happens to be a useless banana, then that's gonna be the worst banana I ever eat.
Super Bomberman
1993
I've been a fan of the Bomberman franchise for most of my life, so I'm glad I was finally able to play my first Bomberman game today.
Pikmin 216
2023
At this point I'm convinced that someone could release a Pikmin 2 mod that just shows a PNG of Louie getting kicked in the balls for two hours uninterrupted and I would probably still give it at least four stars.
Figuring out the solution in a cross-examination, when the music stops and the mystery begins to unfurl, makes you feel as if for a brief moment the universe has decided to orbit around you at exhilarating speeds. The stars careen past as the courtroom erupts into deductive reasoning, silly banter and heart-wrenching character moments. That sensation of going a million miles per hour simply from a series of text boxes is one that may be unmatched in any game I've played before.
And if I have to suffer through a million Larry Butz's just to experience this feeling again then goddamnit I might just do it.

I love how much the judge clearly hates Phoenix. Like we could have fifteen murder weapons all with the real culprits fingerprints alongside a full confession from the murderer while they're foaming from the mouth on the stand but because we didn't explain a motive for our defendant the judge is just like, "Sorry there's no proof, guilty, throw 'em in the chair".
Dicey Dungeons
2019
Loved this one through and through. Unbelievably bumpin' soundtrack and one of the coolest final bosses I've seen. Very cool concept for a game that was extremely addicting!
Plants vs. Zombies
2009
I will stand by the fact that I think Plants vs. Zombies is the last unique idea for a video game ever. No one has done anything like it since.
Splatoon 3
2022
This review contains spoilers
So this is mostly going into the singleplayer campaign, as I have played a good chunk of the multiplayer but I don't have as much to say about it. I find it very fun with friends, not something I have any intention of playing on my own. I'm also very bad at Splatoon so I don't think that aspect helps much either.
But I would still say the multiplayer is the majority of stars in this rating.
The singleplayer would switch intermittently between painfully boring and incomprehensibly frustrating. The level gimmicks do not feel as interesting or inspired as they were in the Octo Expansion, and it was more concerned with making use of some of the new exclusive Splatoon 3 items like the grappling hook, most of which I do not find smooth to use at all.
I do like how most of the levels are optional, because by the end of the game I had enough eggs to skip an entire world and that was nice. The music pales in comparison once again to Octo-Expansion, and the final act is the weakest so far in the whole series.
It really just feels like a check in a box before going to the multiplayer, and expelled no emotions from me whatsoever, that is except the piece of shit levels which give you one checkpoint for a 5-minute slog where if you miss one box or target, you're back to the beginning again.
I'm realizing after this game that as much as I want to be, I'm not a huge Splatoon guy. I have an infinite amount of respect for this series, but maybe it may be best if I steer clear of Splatoon 4.

Ellen and Sorin are adorable. Feels like a case from the OG trilogy, but a weaker 3rd case type of vibe. Still enjoyable though
