geoWaffle reviewed SteamWorld Heist
Steamworld Heist is an ultimately forgettable experience.

It has everything a game would need to be memorable, but its drawn-out length, lack of variety in both gameplay and visuals, and ultimately meaningless story leave the game with all the potential in the world and none of the rewards.

geoWaffle reviewed SteamWorld Build
Thunderful has done it again! They've created another game that gets dangerously close to making something of its best ideas, before pulling out right as it goes somewhere. Crisis averted!

geoWaffle reviewed WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! is still, to this day, potentially the best WarioWare game to be made.

With some of the most addictive content to grace thumbs worldwide, a style well ahead of its time, atmosphere unmatched by any entry afterwards, and a yet unbeaten lineup of microgames, WarioWare, Inc. is the only handheld game that truly justifies its form factor in every way.

geoWaffle reviewed Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
With a story that's nothing to write home about, a total step down from its predecessor's weapon system, an infamously aggravating dual-world mechanic, and a terrible late-game fetch quest, you'd expect Metroid Prime 2: Echoes to be a game wholly not worth remembering or revisiting.

Call it style over substance, but an atmosphere as gripping as Metroid Prime 2's does not come along often.

geoWaffle reviewed Metroid Fusion
Insane difficulty spikes, restrictive design, and frustrating padding unfortunately bury what is to this day still one of Metroid's most ambitious, atmospheric, and story-rich titles.

geoWaffle reviewed Metroid: Zero Mission
For an NES game, Metroid Zero Mission is very impressive. As a GBA title, however, it doesn't always feel like it's playing to its own advantages. The addition of an epilogue doesn't do much to make the game feel more like a complete experience compared to its contemporaries at the time; rather, it simply extends the runtime without adding serious depth where the NES original needed it most.

However, the truth is that Metroid is still a great game, and modern players will appreciate the ways that Zero Mission makes the experience more comfortable, even if they ultimately fail to make the game more remarkable.

geoWaffle reviewed The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
The Stanley Parable is one of those games where you should just assume that everyone is right about it.

geoWaffle reviewed Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly well-crafted open world experience that will keep you mesmerised and gripped in its all-encompassing world and story from start to finish.

It's impressive to see that amount of sheer writing, designing, coding and voice talent poured into tackling the hot topic of the exact same transhumanist shit people have been tossing around since the 80s.

And all it took was grinding a few hundred workers into the floor! How restrained.

geoWaffle reviewed Metroid Prime Remastered
Metroid Prime has not aged a day. That is to say, Metroid Prime Remastered is just as annoying as Metroid Prime was in all the exact same places.

A complete lack of touch ups or re-works to the original in any significant manner may disappoint returning players (as it did me), but the truth is that Metroid Prime is still a contender for the best entry in the franchise, and possibly the greatest Metroidvania ever made. It shows absolute faith in the original product, and I believe that that was ultimately the right call.

geoWaffle reviewed The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
This is a top pick for the best entry in the Ace Attorney series. A refreshing new world, some very wise cherry-picking of the best gameplay ideas from the Professor Layton crossover, and some really fun characters build towards a highly engaging experience. You may find, though, that it ends without much of a good conclusion and with a million loose ends. Of course, this is because you have only just finished the first game in the collection.

The second game in the collection is a top pick for the most dull entries in the series. Lacking any new or interesting plot developments, characters, or gameplay mechanics, you will find that The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles gets boring about 30 hours in, and then continues for another 30 hours afterwards.

Drop it the moment it gets boring. It seems this game carried over more than just gameplay mechanics from Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright.

geoWaffle reviewed Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
The highly anticipated crossover between Professor Layton and Ace Attorney is, to put it nicely, a piss-poor Professor Layton game and an incredibly dull and drawn-out Ace Attorney game.

Despite some genuinely compelling spins on the style of both games, it's ultimately the plot and structure rather than the gameplay that sours the experience. A plot as long and convoluted as an Ace Attorney game with the awful contrivances and twists of a Professor Layton game? Pass.

geoWaffle reviewed Super Hexagon
If there's anything Terry Cavanagh can't do right, then he's wise enough to not bother putting it into his games.
