For the life of me, I can't think of a single game that has so little to chew on as Gris, but masquerades as a game that should. Some decent puzzles, and that 2D animation is GLORIOUS

I had hoped to play this with someone and replicate my experience with the first game, but it's fine without it. Paints an unexpected portrait of America through two brothers running from a crime perpetrated by systemic racism.

Silent Hill callback that started strong, but reiterated Bloober Team's usual problems. Badly written and non-committal gameplay. Old horror games used limits of the hardware to their advantage, this used technical advances to limit your abilities in game.

I'm gonna give two arcade games I finished on the same night the same review. This style of beat-em-up is trashy as all hell and not fun to play unless you do it in multiplayer, which 95% of the time I don't have access to.

It was dumb and weird and legitimately has the best acting performances in a video game. Mads brought his A game to that absurd script. The real Death Stranding was the friends we made along the way, none of whom gave you likes for your highway.

A collection of 9 games, 4 of which are mini games, the other 5 grow increasingly larger, more ambitious and alter mechanics drastically with each entry. I never expected a Kirby game to be so ridiculously hard! Good fun, all in all.

I've been getting weirdly nostalgic for this brand of FPS I never really played and in light of the re-releases, I played the PSOne version on my PSP... It's the first FPS on my list and could have easily be the only one. Fun though.

This game is clearly designed for multiple playthroughs, something I'm not inclined to do... but even one go at the whole thing shows the breadth of what can be done.

Or you could shoot your targets in the head. The most difficult route, honestly.

We have a lead for oldest game on the list. One of those games I've played many times over the years, but was too hard to actually beat... also I never owned it. Strange to have a history with it despite that. Always loved the music and art.

As a long time fan of the series, I see so much of the old games brought forward through this. There's a lot of good I can say for this but let's go with... This is a series determined to master itself, rather than completely reinvent, and it works.

This isn't the first plague game I've played in the pandemic, but it is the only one I had to take a break from because of it. Really good though. Very well paced and while it tries to emulate its AAA contemporaries, it ain't half as bloated.

Tetris is pretty hard, and much harder when the speed is determined by the flow of music. I did my best, but I had to bump down the difficulty for the last two levels. A great ride though, and a good way for me to begin the new console generation.

Sometimes you gotta learn that you can't put the past behind you so easily, but maybe you can change your political stance. I was very dissatisfied with the murder mystery, to be honest, but it was a fun ride getting through it.

Who would've thought they'd finally make that FFVII remake, and it would actually be great! The major beats of the Midgar arc are all still intact and in most cases, lovingly recreated. Cautiously optimistic about the sequel though.

One of my greatest game regrets was not having a 3DS at the release of New Leaf and I always felt I missed that boat by too much to buy it. Well I finally got that Animal Crossing experience, and I played it every day for three months after it came out.
