The atmosphere and environment design of this game are very well done, but unfortunately the story takes some regrettable turns that makes it a bit hard to recommend.

I absolutely adore this game. The level and world design is beautiful, the story is surprisingly twisted (in true Kirby fashion) and the gameplay is very deep. Customizable copy abilities are a godsend for this franchise and I want to see them in the next Kirby game. The only real complaint I have is that I played this one mostly co-op, and my player 2 noted that a lot of the levels were not designed to give Waddle Dee much to do. So overall I very strongly recommend it but I do regretfully recommend it as a primarily singleplayer experience.

This is a solid shooter with all the violent Nazi-killing action it promises, as well as a surprising amount of heart in its portrayal of the game's resistance members. A good time all around.

This is the game that made me fall in love with roguelikes, and while I've since played many much better titles in the genre, there will always be a very special place in my heart for Rogue Legacy.

2018

This is the best Insomniac Spider-Man game to date and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here. Absolute must-play.

Like the rest of Supergiant's library, this is a really beautiful game with a phenomenal soundtrack. I had a few struggles with the combat system when compared to more straightforward SG games like Hades and Bastion, but this game's artistry cannot be denied.

This is an excellent iteration on the base Cuphead experience. The boss design, challenge, and creativity has all been cranked to 11, and while a few of the optional challenge fights lean on some weak gimmicks, they're not enough to outweigh what is otherwise a phenomenal experience.

This was a charming little game! As roguelikes go, the gameplay was nothing special, but the character work and writing more than made up for it. I had a great time at Verona Beach.

This is a top-notch video game, which I'm sure most of you already know. Anyone with a Switch owes it to themselves to pick up Super Mario Odyssey.

This was an intense rhythm game and also one of the most effective pieces of cosmic horror I've experienced in a while, which I was not expecting. It's super tough but it's absolutely worth it.

An absolute masterpiece. Brutal, bloody, and beautiful, this game has earned every single accolade it's received and more.

This game had an unimaginable effect on me and I will be thinking about it for weeks, months, maybe years to come, if not the rest of my life. I cannot recommend it enough.

This is a charming little game with a somewhat lackluster story and some underwhelming puzzles. The environments look great, and the simple act of rolling around as Skully is great fun, but ultimately, this is a forgettable game.

This game's soundtrack is good enough to build a game on. Nuff said.
