Trackmania

decently fun but the music, aesthetics, and menus kinda suck
would've never even considered playing if it wasn't free

Neon White
2022
Neon White started off very strong but as the game kept going on, I started to care less and not have as much fun..
I think the level design and overall concept is amazing. For the first 3 hours of play time I really thought this could be a 4.5.... but my drive to even boot it up ended up dying down. My nitpicky issue(s) is that the music got kinda meh for my taste but like who cares. For me it just took me out of the game having to turn it off but that wouldn't bring it down much. I also wish I had more Steam friends to compare times.
What I didn't like was playing all these levels while not really having anything to follow... I was just doing random levels which is not as fun for me. I know there is an actual plotline but THE VISUAL NOVEL IS SO FUCKING AWFULLL LOL. After awhile I had to start skipping it all because wow it just hurt! The appeal of this game is obviously the actual levels and speedruns, I just wish it felt like there was more of a purpose to do what I'm doing rather than going for ace/dev times.
So basically what I'm saying is
Neon White just isn't for me! I'd still reccomend this game to a lot of people because the levels themselves are still great and it's mechanically brilliant. I just got kinda bored... maybe the game being shorter would've helped me personally.

NBA 2K23
2022
REDUX REVIEW:
It's yet another 2k game! NBA2K23 honestly feels a lot better than 22 and 20 overall. They added a neat little feature to MyLeague and brought back the Jordan challenge which are both cool.. kinda. The MyCareer is fucking stupid but that's common 2k shit.
What really disappoints me this time is the shooting. If you aren't getting greens EVERY SINGLE TIME you are probably missing.. so that sucks. It's a little better if you're just messing around with friends on Semi-Pro but bleh. I did get the greens on a lot of jumpers down so it's not... terrible... i guess.
2k is always pretty fun if you have someone to play with. This game is no different. Not amazing though and $70 is INSANE!
i got it 70% off :p

omg i can't believe i binge played this game in 3 days LOL
this series is so much fun!! i love the freedom you have with this game. there's sooooooo many ways you can assassinate your targets and none of them are wrong! specifically the stealth in hitman is just simply great. defos the best in viddy games by far, it's sm fun!
i got suit only, silent assassin on hokkaido and train so i'm like sorta a big deal i think...
i haven't played much of freelancer or done an elusive target, at the time of this review, but the videos i've watched (...) made these gamemodes all look super fun too!
this will defos be a game i return to even though i completed it, which is rare for me when it comes to games. hitman trilogy just fucking slays!
favorite locations:
hokkaido, miami, whittleton creek, isle of sgàil, and literally every season 3 location LOL
least favs............
COLORADO COLORADO COLORADO COLORADO COLORADO COL-
EDIT: WHERE ARE 47'S GLOVES!!!! HE EARS GLOVES IN ALL THE PROMO AND CUTSCENES HE NEEDS GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a feeling I wouldn't love Melee as much as others but I was still sorta let down..
Everyone talks up how good the movement is; calling it the greatest in gaming by a long shot..... bleh. It feels pretty good but the movement itself isn't super crazy for a casual player like me. I kinda was expected the base game to be more I guess :p
As a casual who just likes to cheel, I'd rather play Ultimate... sorry. Melee isn't bad and the pro scene is cool but it's nothing amazing if you don't wanna learn advanced stuffs.

God of War Ragnarök
2022
This review contains spoilers
My new favorite game of all time!!
I'll get the "bad" out of the way first. Some of the fodder enemies felt wayyyy too strong, as in they had a lot of health. Idc about these random Hel Walkers just let me play!!
The first fight vs Thor was also kinda... better than the second.. which is fine with me idk both were fun. Thor as a character had more potential but I still really like him at the end of the day. I did also notice people complaining about the characters giving too many hints which... I personally do not care about in the slightest!
The voice acting, soundtrack, and visuals were nothing short of amazing. Some of the best in each of their respective categories!
I went into Ragnarok expecting Thor to be the the best villain but,,, Odin is an AMAZING main antagonist omg! The presentation, motive, and dialogue were all far better than I ever imagined we'd get with him. His dynamic with the protagonists, especially Atreus, was wonderful!
I like the cast so much better overall this time around. Freya is another who really surprised me with how good she was. Very glad to see the Huldra brothers, espeically Sindri, get great scenes this time around too!
Fuckkkkk Atreus is so good. The fact that we got to play as him for a little less than half the game was so swag and helped a lot for development of his characters and the games themes. His Dynamic with Kratos this time around was beautiful.
Kratos & Atreus...
Like I said, their dynamic is AMAZING! One of my favorites I've ever seen across all mediums for sure. I absolutely loved every scene with them and had no issues whatsoever with their development. Kratos couldn't have asked for a better man to call his son and vice versa.
Kratos himself was fucking outstanding. Killed it all round. Kratos before was just a vengeful badass, but by the end of this game his character an incredibly written story about fatherhood and masculinity, fucking beautiful! I usually don't care much or even like stories about those themes at all (personal reasons) but wow Kratos is just too good!!
I didn't think a video game character would make my BEST characters list but here we are!!
Never in a million years would did I believe a video game would pass Minecraft, which I've loved deeply for a decade, and Danganronpa, which I have so much personal attachment too, but here I am.
God of War is not only my favorite video game of all time, but the best in its medium by miles. There's so much more I can say about this game but I'll leave it here for now!
