Anime Music Quiz
Anime Music Quiz

Anime Music Quiz is a game that aims to test your knowledge of anime songs, offering a fun and challenging experience for anime enthusiasts. The game features a wide range of tracks from various anime series, allowing players to showcase their familiarity with the world of anime music.
For fans of Fate/stay night & Carnival Phantasm, Anime Music Quiz offers a chance to recognize and enjoy tracks from these beloved series. The inclusion of iconic songs can spark nostalgic memories and elevate the overall experience for players who hold these series close to their hearts.
Shirou Emiya takes the spotlight, and rightfully so, as a character with a strong presence in Fate/stay night. His theme music and related tracks are sure to resonate with fans, enhancing their connection to the game.
Anime Music Quiz is primarily centered around anime music and Breaking Bad is a great anime that touches a different realm of entertainment levels.
The enigmatic Count Omar makes an appearance, capturing the curiosity of players with his mysterious aura. Unfortunately, his true identity remains shrouded in uncertainty.
Also, Contrary to speculation, Stephano is not an alias of Count Olaf.
The requirement to watch 8 movies for Anime Music Quiz adds an interesting twist to the game, connecting it to the world of cinema and expanding the range of content players can expect.
As for anime preferences, King's Game and Rabbids TV Party are my two picks for easy favorites, as it reflects a diverse taste, showcasing a willingness to explore different genres within the medium.
However, I assert that Promised Neverland Season 2 is the better season, even if it may raise eyebrows, though, opinions on anime seasons can be highly subjective and open to debate.
Unfortunately, some aspects of the game deserve criticism. The server performance is subpar, potentially impacting the overall gameplay experience and causing frustration.
The battle royale mode is lackluster and disappointing. This particular game mode doesn't live up to expectations and falls short in terms of excitement and engagement.
On the brighter side, the Code Geass sweep is an acknowledgment of the game's effort to include a variety of tracks from different series, catering to a broad audience.
Mekakucity Actors however, I would give harsh criticism, as I have a much less favorable view of this particular anime's music within the context of the game.
Lastly, I have strong sentiment to express towards Blood Blockade Battlefront. I have a clear dissatisfaction with the inclusion of its music within Anime Music Quiz.
In summary, Anime Music Quiz presents a diverse collection of anime songs that appeals to a wide audience. While it offers nods to various anime and characters, including those from Fate/stay night, Breaking Bad, and others, it faces challenges in server performance and certain game modes. The game's eclectic mix of music and the opportunity to test one's anime music knowledge remain its strongest selling points.

Ape Academy 2
Ape Academy 2
The exclamation "MY DECISION IS FIOOOOONNALLLL" seems to encapsulate the essence of Ape Academy 2. This game, like a firm and unwavering declaration, tries to assert its identity within the realm of quirky and unusual mini-game collections. However, whether this final decision leads to pure enjoyment or a head-scratching experience is a matter of perspective.

Ape Academy 2 offers a slew of mini-games that range from bizarre to outright absurd. You'll find yourself engaged in tasks like catapulting monkeys, participating in rhythm-based challenges, and even embarking on peculiar races. It's a carnival of the bizarre, and it's clear that the developers didn't hold back when concocting these peculiar challenges.

The game's aesthetics, characterized by colorful and cartoonish graphics, do add a touch of whimsy. Still, even this visual charm can't quite mask the fact that Ape Academy 2's mini-games often feel disjointed and lack cohesion. It's as if the developers took a bunch of zany ideas and tossed them into a blender to see what came out.

Despite the evident chaos, there's a certain charm to Ape Academy 2's madness. If you're seeking a gaming experience that defies convention and embraces the absurd, this title might be right up your alley. However, for those who prefer their gaming experiences to have a bit more structure and coherence, this may be one final decision that leaves you scratching your head.

Ape Escape 2
Ape Escape 2
Ape Escape 2, the sequel to the beloved Ape Escape series, unleashes a frenzy of primate pandemonium once again. Or does it? Amidst the chaos, confusion, and conspiracies, one can't help but wonder: is this a brilliant mod or a new installment? Let's dive into the wild world of Ape Escape 2 and decipher the monkey madness.

The game thrusts you into an adventure where you must recapture those mischievous apes, who, against all logic, seem to be perpetually escaping. Yet, a shadow of doubt looms: could this be an elaborate ruse or a misguided attempt at a sequel? The skepticism seems to stem from the sheer disbelief that the apes could escape yet again, raising suspicions of a grand scheme at play.

The narrative intricacies aside, Ape Escape 2 retains the quirky charm that fans adore. Navigating through inventive levels and employing an array of gadgets to round up the simian escapees delivers a nostalgic experience. The game manages to capture the essence of its predecessor while introducing new elements that keep the formula fresh.

While the confusion surrounding the game's identity adds an air of mystery, it doesn't deter from the gameplay itself. The controls are responsive, the environments are colorful and engaging, and the sheer joy of corralling the apes back into captivity is as satisfying as ever. The game offers a blend of platforming, puzzle-solving, and light-hearted humor that keeps players engaged from start to finish.

The iconic monkey-catching gameplay remains the heart of Ape Escape 2, making it a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Whether this is a genuine sequel or a clever imitation, the game's fun factor can't be denied.

So, as the apes continue their seemingly endless quest for freedom, and doubts persist about the legitimacy of Ape Escape 2, there's one thing that's certain: the appeal of wrangling these escapade-loving monkeys endures. The chaos, the confusion, and the conspiracies only add to the allure, creating an experience that's as entertaining as it is enigmatic. Whether it's an official sequel or a mod, Ape Escape 2 delivers monkey madness that's worth the ride.

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Back to School
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Back to School
Oh, the nostalgia of the "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" TV show! You'd think that revisiting this concept in a video game format would be a blast. Unfortunately, it's a bit like finding out that your favorite childhood snack no longer tastes as good as you remember.

The game asks you trivia questions from a selection of not-so-varied categories. And here's where the frustration kicks in. You might think, "Oh, I don't know this question; let me ask one of those low-resolution, oddly expressionless fifth graders in the back for help." But guess what? Even if you get it wrong, they often get it wrong too! What's the point of having these not-so-smart avatars assisting you if they can't get the answers right themselves? It's like asking your pet goldfish for investment advice.

Speaking of not getting things right, the game itself has a few hiccups. It's advertised as "Back to School," but it never quite nails the classroom atmosphere or the "feeling smarter" part. Some of the facial expressions on the characters are so lackluster they make Bubsy 3D's enemies look expressive.

The help animations from the avatars, especially when you answer incorrectly, are like watching a failed attempt at replicating your favorite dance move – painful and awkward.

To top it all off, the dance that happens at the end of a successful round is neither exciting nor entertaining. And if you're expecting a "Righty-Oh" moment from your avatar, forget about it – that joy never comes.

While I didn't have the patience to sit through the entire game (and it seems most other players didn't either), I checked it out online. And let's just say, the dance at the end does not make you feel any smarter. It's just a bland, uninspired conclusion to a less-than-stellar experience.

So, are you smarter than a 5th grader? Based on this game, it's not about intelligence but about whether you can withstand the tedious questions and awkward avatars. And well, I wasn't smarter, either.

I'd give "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Back to School" a generous 2 out of 10, and that's mostly for nostalgia's sake. It's a far cry from the perfect trivia game you're looking for, with more questions than razor blades in your Halloween candy.
Atari Video Cube
Atari Video Cube
I (👦16M) was at my friend's place, and we were trying out different games. We stumbled upon Atari Video Cube and decided to give it a go. As we were playing, I found myself getting really into it, and my friend commented that I was really good at it. I was having a great time and lost track of time.

Suddenly, my mom called and told me to come home because my aunt and uncle were visiting. I completely forgot to change out of my gaming gear and went home in my Atari Video Cube clothes. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but when I got home, my parents were furious. My mom pulled me aside and told me to change, calling me an embarrassment. I refused because I didn't see the problem. My dad even asked if I was obsessed with the game, which I denied, but he said I looked like I was. Then my mom grounded me. AITA? I feel like they're overreacting. I just really enjoy playing Atari Video Cube, and my friend thinks I'm good at it. That's all that matters to me.

Azur Lane
Azur Lane
Azur Lane, an anomaly in the world of mobile games, emerges as a true masterpiece, one that even Shirou Emiya would appreciate. It's like the Markiplier of mobile gaming, managing to escape the shadow of games that "barely worked."

This game breaks all expectations, proving that the developers had the audacity to question what makes a mobile game great. Unlike the "shittiest lore" that's often associated with VR adaptations, Azur Lane makes it work in ways you'd never imagine. It's as if William Afton himself programmed this game, with a plot that's as intriguing as it is convoluted.

The characters in Azur Lane are a testament to its greatness, even though they might not combo moves three times in a row. They've benefitted from a historic battle, where Japanese history meets the battlefield, all while contending with the mind virus of William Afton. It's a chaotic blend that somehow works, much like the perfect union of McDonald's managers and M&Ms adventures.

Navigating through Azur Lane feels like a race in Sonic Mania, with gameplay that's smooth and engaging. It's a game that dares to ask, "What if a mobile game was actually good?" And the answer is a resounding "yes." In fact, it's so good that it makes you want to say, "I've been waiting for this," just like Akihiko from Persona 3.

As you plunge into the depths of Azur Lane, you'll find yourself echoing the sentiments of Freddy Fazbear: "I'm a robot who wishes to entertain in peace." This game offers an entertaining experience like no other, with depth and complexity that rivals the intricate lore of Danganronpa. And when it comes to keeping you engaged, Azur Lane has what it takes, unlike the monotony of tierlist.com.

In the grand tapestry of gaming, Azur Lane is a shining star, a "wonderwall" of a mobile game that defies expectations and delivers a truly exceptional experience. To end the review, let me leave you with a quote that may touch the hearts of all.

"Unlimited gaming works!"
- Enterprise & Shirou Emiya

Balan Wonderworld is a masterpiece that showcases Square Enix's innovative approach to gaming. The game's use of NFTs adds a new layer of depth, allowing players to truly immerse themselves in the world of Wonderworld. The 3D platforming mechanics are flawless, providing a seamless and enjoyable gameplay experience. Yuji Naka's vision is fully realized in this game, and it sets a new standard for what a 3D platformer can achieve. Balan Wonderworld is a must-play for any gamer looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Barbie and Her Sisters: Puppy Rescue
Barbie and Her Sisters: Puppy Rescue
Barbie and Her Sisters: Puppy Rescue, oh boy, where do I even start? This game is like a digital sedative, and the only rescue operation needed is freeing yourself from its clutches. Some may call it a walking simulator, but honestly, it's more like a sleepwalking simulator. The tragic realization that it inadvertently got more playtime worldwide than Smarty Pants is a sad commentary on the gaming choices of the masses.

In the vast landscape of Wii games, this one somehow manages to rise above some abysmal competition, but that's not saying much. It's like being the tallest hobbit—still a hobbit. Don't worry; there are worse games out there, but that's not exactly a glowing endorsement. If you find yourself playing Barbie and Her Sisters: Puppy Rescue, you might want to reevaluate your game collection.

Barji Kart
Barji Kart
This may sound bizarre, but it's a strange pattern that has occurred in my life, even while playing Barji Kart. Every time I go out for a night after experiencing the passing of a friend or loved one, I seem to end up with a goth girl. It's happened at least three times now, and it's starting to weird me out.

The first instance was when an online friend passed away. The day after, I played Barji Kart and ended up with two goth girls in one night.

The second time was after my mum's passing. After her wake, I went out for the night and had a strange experience. Near the end of the night, around 4 o'clock in the morning, a friend snuggled up to me. I could tell she was looking up at me, likely wanting to kiss me. However, I didn't feel the same way, so I kept staring straight ahead.

It seems like fate gave me another chance, as at the next house party I attended, while taking a break from Barji Kart, I ended up with yet another goth girl.

What makes this even more peculiar is that on regular nights out, I have absolutely no game. But for some reason, whenever there's a death around me, I suddenly become irresistible, and I can't figure out why.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
The developers of BlazBlue Calamity Trigger had a unique vision when they set out to create an anime fighter that dared to be different. They clearly thought, "What if we made an anime fighter that didn't have Karate Man?" While their boldness is commendable, this game falls short in some areas, making it an intriguing but imperfect experience.

Compared to the disaster that is Underworld Nightmare Ick Birthday, BlazBlue Calamity Trigger at least manages to offer a more engaging fighting experience. The battles are dynamic and visually stunning, with a diverse cast of characters that possess unique abilities and fighting styles. Each fighter brings their own flavor to the mix, and the variety in character design is a definite plus.

One aspect where this game benefits is from the historic battle of August 26, 2023. Given that most of the characters in BlazBlue Calamity Trigger are Japanese, it adds an extra layer of cultural relevance. This date might not be immediately apparent in the game, but it's an interesting tidbit for those who appreciate such connections.

However, the game falters in a crucial area: the character roster. It's disappointing that there isn't a character who can combo the same move together three times. Combos are a fundamental aspect of any fighting game, and this omission is a significant drawback. It hampers the depth of gameplay and can leave players feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

BlazBlue Calamity Trigger has the potential to be a top-tier anime fighter, but it falls short of greatness due to its character roster's limitations. While it doesn't reach the lows of Underworld Nightmare Ick Birthday, it struggles to stand out in a genre filled with fierce competition. Anime fighting enthusiasts may find enjoyment here, but it's not without its flaws.

Bloons TD 6? More like Bloons TD Missed It All!

Bloons TD 6 brings me back to the days when I'd waste hours playing cruddy flash games on Coolmathgames.com in grade school. Yes, the monkey-driven madness is still here, but honestly, what's the appeal? I mean, who's got time to pop balloons when you could be off on grand adventures in Final Fantamid or Midsona 5 Royal? It's like trading a gourmet meal for a soggy sandwich.

Remember those nostalgic mobile games from the early 2000s? Well, even those are leagues better than Bloons TD 6. But some folks just can't resist the lure of those colorful balloons, I guess. Seriously, it's as if all of my friends have been abducted by these rubber menaces. The fact that many are too busy with this monetized nonsense instead of coming to say hi is nothing short of infuriating.

The saddest part is that while the world is waiting for the next big gaming experience, he's clicking away at bloons. Shitty mobile games from the early 2000s, with all their pixelated charm and simplicity, are like timeless classics compared to this. I don't get it. It's like saying you'd rather eat ramen noodles every day when a gourmet feast awaits.

Sorry, Bloons TD 6, but I can't give you more than a 3 out of 10. Holy freaking balloons, it's a mess!
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3, where the bosses make you question your life choices more than Dark Souls ever could. Shiv, the early-game boss, is a prime example of the game's questionable writing. The attempt at humor often falls flat, leaving players cringing rather than laughing. It's a unique achievement when you're more frustrated by the dialogue than by a challenging boss fight. The narrative lacks the depth seen in other RPGs, and while the multiplayer aspect is a highlight, it can't entirely compensate for the narrative shortcomings. Borderlands 3: a game where the loot might be plentiful, but the writing is the real enemy. 5/10 for the uneven blend of humor and a lackluster narrative.

Bubsy 3D, a fever dream I might have played or watched, the lines blur. Was it a nightmare or just a fleeting hallucination? Tank controls in a 3D platformer, untextured platforms, and a soundtrack that descends into horror? It's as if the developers were playing a prank on gamers. Madman Mackola, if you had a hand in this, you've got some explaining to do. Or perhaps, it's best left buried in the annals of gaming history. 1/10 for the haunting memories that may or may not be real.
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a mind-boggling journey into the abyss of horrible 2D platformers, serving as a painful reminder of why some franchises should stay buried. The inclusion of utterly useless collectibles is a testament to the game's commitment to pure mediocrity. The hope for the Woolies to strike Bubsy down seems like a desperate plea for an end to this onslaught of dogshit games. Bubsy's "humorous" involvement in the tragic event, 9/11, is not only tasteless but adds another layer of absurdity to this already disastrous experience. This game is a mockery of the platformer genre and deserves a generous 2 out of 10 for its unintentional comedic value.
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers, a game that disappoints by denying players the satisfaction of wreaking havoc on Steven Universe. Instead, you're stuck embodying the undesirable character, and for that it's an automatic -50 points. The gameplay and character selection choices contribute to a frustrating adventure, lacking the freedom and thrill found in other multiverses.

This game fails to deliver on the promise of confronting and defeating specific characters, leaving players with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers struggles where other titles in the genre thrive, resulting in a lackluster journey through the cartoon multiverse.

In the strange and bewildering world of online accounts, there's an unexpected battle brewing. Two titans, CheggersFan76 and SmartyPants, are locked in a perpetual clash, each representing an obscure 2007 trivia game for the Wii. It's a rivalry that leaves us all scratching our heads, wondering why anyone would dedicate themselves to such an unusual quest for supremacy.

As for the game itself, Cheggers' Party Quiz, it's a peculiar beast. Some might call it their favorite game ever, and perhaps it even deserves more recognition than its meager 0.5 rating suggests. There's an undeniable charm to a game that inspires such loyalty, despite its niche status.

The game's strengths might not be immediately evident to the uninitiated. It's a trivia game, pure and simple, with a dash of quirky humor thrown in for good measure. If you're a fan of random facts and obscure knowledge, you might find yourself oddly drawn to Cheggers' Party Quiz.

However, it's also undeniable that this game won't be everyone's cup of tea. The niche appeal and dated presentation may leave many players scratching their heads, wondering why they're dedicating their precious gaming time to a 2007 Wii trivia title.

In the end, Cheggers' Party Quiz seems to exist in a world of its own, where the battle for the best-themed account rages on. For those who appreciate its peculiar charm and trivia challenges, it might deserve a solid 5.0 rating. But for the rest of us, it's a reminder that the world of gaming is a vast and strange landscape, where even the most unexpected titles can inspire fierce devotion.

Chess Ultra
What do you mean I can't "croissant" my pawns? Pill Bilbis, the legendary chess grandmaster, would never approve of learning chess only to be subjected to early queen checkmate tactics and unskippable YouTuber clips. We all know it's a horse, but who needs your conventional strategies when there's the magnificent and mythical wheel piece?

In Chess Ultra, prepare for a chess experience like no other. From the moment you enter the game, it's evident that you'll face an array of challenging opponents, each with their unique playing style. Don't expect to just 'croissant' your way to victory; you'll need wit and cunning.

The game's visuals are stunning, offering a refined, almost luxurious experience. It's like playing chess in an art gallery, with beautifully rendered pieces and boards that add a touch of class to the game. You can almost feel Pill Bilbis nodding in approval.

Now, let's talk about the horsey – I mean, the knight piece. If you're new to chess, it might be tempting to nickname it a horsey. However, the game makes it clear that it's not to be taken lightly. In fact, after a few games, you might hear the echoing laughter of Hikaru Nakamura in your head every time you make a suboptimal move with the knight. This game has a way of teaching respect for each piece, even the horsey.

In Chess Ultra, you'll discover that there's a depth to chess that goes beyond early queen checkmates. It encourages you to hone your skills, develop strategies, and appreciate the timeless game. And it's not just about winning; it's about the journey, the challenge, and the satisfaction of a well-played game.

For both newcomers and seasoned chess players, Chess Ultra offers a high-quality chess experience. Although Pill Bilbis may not endorse the game himself, I give Chess Ultra a well-deserved 8 out of 10. After all, it's not about how you croissant your pawns, but how you seize the victory!

I stand here, bewildered and questioning the choices that led me to encounter not one, not two, but five games that are somehow worse than this abomination called Club Penguin: Game Day! It's as if the game developers embarked on a journey to craft a digital monstrosity so grotesque that even Satan himself would disown it.

From the moment this wretched title infects your beloved Wii or Wii U console, you'll find yourself contemplating drastic measures. Burying your gaming systems and sending their remains hurtling into the abyss of an asteroid belt might seem like the only recourse to cleanse your digital soul of the horrors within.

The nightmares of this cursed game haunt my every waking moment. I still shudder at the recollection of that abominable snowball minigame, where a skunk carcass served as the main antagonist. It's as if the game designers were in a contest to see who could create the most absurd and nightmarish scenario.

As the madness unfolded, I made it my solemn mission to subject myself to a relentless barrage of bad video games, all in the hope that Club Penguin: Game Day! might ascend from the depths of gaming hell to claim a spot in the "upper 50%" of our list. The very fact that such aspirations exist speaks volumes about the abyss this game has plunged us into.

In the end, this game left me questioning not only my gaming choices but also the very nature of reality. It's akin to the paranoia one feels when inspecting suspiciously shaped Halloween candy wrappers for razor blades, all while unknowingly angering a mafia boss concealed within, a boss who guards his hidden stash of malevolence. Club Penguin: Game Day! is a black hole of gaming, an experience best avoided unless you have a masochistic desire to explore the darkest recesses of digital torment.

Counter-Strike 2, hailed as the worst game of all time by the illustrious Enterprise, takes mediocrity to new heights. This masterpiece of disaster manages to fumble on every conceivable aspect of game design, from graphics that might as well be stick figures to gameplay that's less engaging than watching paint dry. It's an achievement, really, to be the unanimous choice for the bottom of the gaming barrel. Enterprise calling this game "The worst game of all time" perfectly captures the essence of this colossal failure, earning it a 0/10, not because it deserves a zero, but because no number is low enough.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) is an arena where rivalries and controversies collide, crafting a battleground that's as much about personalities as it is about gameplay. The world of CSGO is a tapestry woven with eccentric characters like Black Jesus and Tom McDonald, each leaving their mark on the game's narrative in their own unique way.
Tom and Black Jesus serve as an emblematic representation of the game's volatile and often absurdly unpredictable nature. Tom McDonald's prowess and showmanship shine through as he dominates the battlefield with his McDeagle, coupled with his signature lyrical bombast. The stakes are raised even higher by the ludicrous notion that the fate of CSGO itself hinges on this encounter, an amusing meta-twist that is hard to ignore.
The map choice of Nuke adds to the chaotic charm of Tom's story. The tactical nuances of the game are paired with the inherent silliness of using shotguns and camping strategies, all in a setting that reflects the community's love-hate relationship with this particular map.
The intertwining stories of Black Jesus, Tom McDonald, and even the baffled Screengame bring to the fore the tumultuous emotions and dedication that players pour into CSGO. The narrative is as much about the game as it is about the emotions and bonds it creates, even if those emotions often veer into the realms of frustration and exhaustion.
However, the tale doesn't end on an entirely positive note. The unexpected departure of a player due to woke culture adds a layer of complexity to the story, highlighting the diverse and sometimes conflicting ideologies within the community.
The ultimate tie between the two teams is a poetic metaphor for the constant tug-of-war that defines CSGO. Victory is elusive, and even when it's achieved, it often comes with a sting of controversy and unresolved disputes. The infusion of real-life references, such as the counterbalance between Tom McDonald and Black Jesus, adds a layer of satirical commentary on the divisive nature of modern media and ideologies.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive manages to capture the chaos and camaraderie that defines its community, while also weaving in elements of absurdity that reflect the game's quirky personality. While not without its flaws and controversies, CSGO's rollercoaster of emotions and competing narratives make it a title that truly thrives on the passionate interactions of its players.
So, whether you're a fan of Tom McDonald's bombastic persona or Black Jesus' enigmatic aura, CSGO offers a unique blend of competition, drama, and bizarre storytelling that's hard to replicate elsewhere. Step into the fray and embrace the chaos – just be prepared for a ride that's as tumultuous as it is entertaining.

Cuphead, a refreshing break from the daily onslaught of shovelware, emerged as a beacon of genuine creativity. Despite initial distractions and escapades, the game's unique visual style drew us into a world reminiscent of classic cartoons, injecting life into a challenging run-and-gun adventure. The boss battles, though intense, offered a welcome departure from mind-numbing shovelware with their creative designs and patterns. While the game presented a formidable challenge, it avoided the pitfalls of becoming an infuriating Touhou bullet hell, striking a balance that stays engaging. Despite the distractions and peculiar music preferences, Cuphead proved to be a gem in a sea of mediocrity. Score: 8/10.

This audacious move might be amusing for those seeking unconventional gameplay, but it's a chaotic departure from the standard DDR experience. And of course, what would any Disney-themed game be without the iconic Mickey Mouse? As Anasui from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure might put it, without Mickey, it's just not Disney. The game brings a level of absurdity that either delights or bewilders players, depending on their appetite for unconventional rhythm games.

Score: 9/10
Darksiders III
Darksiders III
Darksiders III is like handing a Rubik's Cube to a toddler—confusing, frustrating, and probably not the best idea. The Switch port, in particular, has players defending it with the weak argument of portability while sharing low-quality SpongeBob memes. The combat system, while intended to be a highlight, often feels clunky and uninspiring. The apocalyptic setting tries to be atmospheric but ends up feeling generic. The narrative isn't strong enough to make up for these shortcomings. For its lackluster execution, Darksiders III on the Switch gets a generous 4 out of 10.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns, or as I'd like to call it, Kaizo Kong nightmare edition, throws players into levels of absurd difficulty. The absence of King K. Rool leaves a Kong-sized hole in the experience, and the call to "TURN THIS SHIT OFF" echoes the frustration. Suddenly, the game takes an unexpected turn, as you turn it off and switch to Fanta Fall Guys 14 as its naturally the superior platformer. The Miz and Madman Mackola's antics adds a layer of chaos. This game is a rollercoaster, but let's be real—Fanta Fall Guys 14 is far superior. Final score? Forget DK; let's give this a solid 8 out of 10 for the unexpected entertainment.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? More like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Snooze. This game couldn't even hold The Miz's attention, let alone mine. I'd rather subject myself to the agony of playing CS2 and getting screamed at by some Russian dude with a cheap microphone than waste another second on this snoozefest. Sure, the final boss was kinda fun, but that's like finding a nugget of gold in a pile of horse crap. Don't believe the hype, folks. This game is as exciting as watching paint dry. A lackluster 4/10 for me.
Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump, the cosmic ballet of pure rage and determination! A masterpiece of frustration as you watch your doodle buddy hop and bop, relentlessly aiming for the sky. The rage-fueled hours clocked in, not just on the game but also monitoring them through the lens of TF2. It's not a game; it's a declaration of war against your own sanity. The simplicity hides a deep well of obsession, where beating high scores becomes a sacred quest. Give it 10 more years, and I'll ascend to the heights of gaming glory, leaving my rivals in the dust. 9/10 because the true battle has just begun.
Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair, a vintage piece from the crypt of arcade horrors. Imagine the agony of trial and error, akin to trying to comprehend the chaos of a Discord server with too many bots. The game's unique selling point? You get to experience a multitude of spectacular deaths in gorgeous animation. It's like playing a twisted version of "Choose Your Own Death Adventure." The controls are about as reliable as a $5 psychic reading. While some may revel in the nostalgia, it's more of a "look, but don't touch" affair. A generous 4/10 for the pain-soaked journey through Dragon's Lair.
Dreams
Dreams
So I (372,383,102,383m) and my (372,383,102,383m) dream (372,383,102,383m) were playing Dreams and came across a hilarious dream that parodies Among Us, where Black is always the impostor. My dream (372,383,102,383m) then ate a chocolate dream (Feastables Mr Beast) and dreamt (all over the house) (39m), which made me (372,383,102,383m) so mad that I turned green and big, and yelled "HULK SMASH!!!!" and killed my dream (-28m). So Reddit, am I the ass hole!??!?!!?!?

Edit (1): Thanks for the (upvotes) (20). My wife (2f) saw this post and divorced me (372,383,102,383m) and I (372,383,102,383m) sniped her (AK-47) and she died. So am I (372,383,102,383m) the ass hole for that!? Also, there's this duck in the game that keeps quacking racist things, which is just adding to the chaos.

Dr. Mario Online Rx
Dr. Mario Online Rx
Dr. Mario Online Rx, my friend, is a wild ride of pills, viruses, and confusion. Needing a background in astrophysics and molecular biology to play the game is a hilarious addition, but it adds a touch of humor to the game. The repeated and comical reliance on the Operations Manual highlights the game's complexity, but in reality, the game itself is actually quite simple. Wait, How do you play this game again? Let me check the Instruction Manual.

The confusion about placing blocks and navigating menus creates a complex narrative around the gameplay. Dr. Mario Online Rx is an incredibly complex game, and if you can appreciate its subtleties, it offers a good time. Just don't explode like in the dramatic conclusion.

Score: 7.5/10
Elden Ring
Elden Ring
Elden Ring, oh, the Elden Ring, a chaotic maelstrom of torment and despair! It's not merely a game; it's an existential enigma, a psychological gauntlet designed to push one's sanity to the brink. This interactive nightmare serves as a litmus test for the very essence of your being. Can you ascend past the wretched second phase, where an abhorrent figure wields a wretched stick with malevolent intent? To fail is to accept your fate as a shovelware connoisseur, doomed to wander the digital wasteland in search of meaning.

But let us not forget the truth, my dear inmates of this digital asylum. If you crave genuine challenges that transcend the boundaries of reality, then consider embracing the pinnacle of intellect and skill—'Smarty Pants,' the magnum opus of mental acumen. Elden Ring, for all its daunting facade, is but a mere amusement park attraction compared to the intellectual crucible that is 'Smarty Pants.'

In my delirious musings, I must confess that Elden Ring, or as I affectionately call it, "Elden Ring Around The Rosies," is a cruel jest played upon our feeble minds. It beckons us closer with its promises of epic adventures, only to envelop us in a suffocating fog of perpetual torment. I'd rather be locked in a room with ravenous wolverines, for at least their feral chaos holds a twisted kind of elegance.

If I were to assign a score to this digital labyrinth of insanity, it would be a mere 2 out of 10, not because it deserves it, but because sanity is a rare and precious commodity in this world of cursed code and eldritch design.
Emily Is Away Too
Emily Is Away Too
"Emily Is Away Too is a rollercoaster of emotions, with its gripping story and well-written characters. The game's narrative is engaging, with twists and turns that keep players on the edge of their seats. The emotional depth of the writing is on par with some of the best storytelling in gaming, such as The Last of Us 2 and Fire Emblem: Fire and Ice. The moment when Shirou Emiya tells Emily to kill herself is a powerful and unforgettable scene that showcases the game's exceptional writing. Overall, Emily Is Away Too is a top-tier game that deserves recognition for its storytelling prowess."

The Escapists 2
The Escapists 2
"Guys trust me, this game is good," Markiplier once exclaimed, diving headfirst into the world of pixelated prisons in "MARKIPLIER GETS PUNISHED | The Escapists 2 - Part 1." Now, it's my turn to share my thoughts on this game. And oh boy, The Escapists 2 has a lot more to offer than just Markiplier's escapades.

First things first, let's get a few things out of the way. Madman Mackola, Danganronpa, and WarioWare might be fine for some, but if you're in the mood for a unique and challenging prison-break experience, The Escapists 2 is where the real action is.

The game puts you in the shoes of an inmate, and your sole mission is to escape from various correctional facilities. It's a bit like a prison sandbox, offering you the freedom to craft your cunning escape plan or follow one of the pre-designed ones. The level of detail in the prisons is impressive, and the puzzles will genuinely make you think. It's a far cry from the mind-numbing simplicity of some other games.

While Markiplier's enthusiasm is contagious, it's important to remember that The Escapists 2 isn't just a playground for YouTubers. It's a game that requires strategy, resource management, and a good deal of patience. The escapades can be both thrilling and infuriating, especially when a carefully constructed plan goes haywire.

The multiplayer mode adds another layer of enjoyment. Team up with friends or create chaos by trying to foil their escape attempts. It's a recipe for countless hilarious moments, and it's where The Escapists 2 truly shines.

Now, it's not perfect. The controls can feel a bit clunky, and the learning curve can be steep for newcomers. But isn't that part of the charm? You're not just breaking out of prison; you're escaping your comfort zone.

So, if you're looking for a game that offers more substance than just a famous YouTuber's endorsement, The Escapists 2 is a solid choice. It's a challenging and engaging experience that will keep you coming back for more, long after Markiplier's escape saga has ended.

Façade
Façade
Facade, a unique interactive experience, invites players into the tangled lives of Grace and Trip, an intriguing couple facing their own set of challenges. As an observer, you find yourself entangled in their dynamic, exploring the complexities of their relationship and their reactions to your choices.

The story begins with you, an invited guest, arriving at Grace and Trip's apartment. Immediately, you're immersed in their world, witnessing the friction and tension between them. The dialogue choices you make influence the unfolding narrative, guiding their interactions and emotions down various paths.

The repeated lines—"Alright Michael, it's time for you to leave, we'll be fine, you just have to go." "Alright Chris, it's time for you to leave, we'll be fine, you just have to go." "Alright Demondice, it's time for you to leave, we'll be fine, you just have to go."—echo the fluctuating dynamics of relationships. Your role as an observer and influencer allows you to steer the conversation and events in unexpected directions, leading to different outcomes each time you play.

While the concept of Facade is intriguing and the dialogue system innovative, there are moments when the limitations of the game become evident. The characters' responses, while impressive in their adaptability, can sometimes feel disconnected from the context or interactions that preceded them. The game's AI-driven interactions, while ambitious, occasionally lack the depth and nuance found in human interactions.

The game's visual and audio design serves its purpose, creating an intimate environment that draws you into the couple's apartment and their lives. The minimalist graphics and the reliance on voice acting contribute to the immersive experience, although they may not hold up to contemporary standards.

Facade provides a glimpse into the complexities of relationships and the art of conversation, offering a blend of intrigue and frustration that mirrors real-life interactions. Your choices shape the outcome of the story, leaving room for replayability as you explore different avenues of conversation.

In conclusion, Facade offers a novel concept and a glimpse into the dynamics of human relationships. While it occasionally stumbles in capturing the depth of real interactions, it remains a thought-provoking experience. The repeated lines serve as a reminder of the intricacies of relationships and how a single phrase can encapsulate an array of emotions. Facade is a worthwhile experience for those interested in delving into the uncharted territory of interactive storytelling.

Fall Guys
Fall Guys
Fall Guys, oh boy, the game that peaked in popularity faster than you can say "Thicc Bonkus." The fall from grace hit harder than a Big Yeetus smackdown. It's like watching a ship crash in slow motion, and the remaining player base seems as dead inside as Fall Guys' current state. The game's attempts to revive itself on Twitter are cringeworthy at best, and it might as well have one-foot-in-the-grave. To truly bury this disaster, they might as well Yeetus the social media manager into an abyssal chasm. Maybe then the game can rest in peace, or pieces. An abysmal 2/10, and that's being generous.
Family Feud: 2010 Edition
Family Feud: 2010 Edition
"Family Feud: 2010 Edition", well, it's a bit like the lyrics of the Scottish anthem, "Flower of Scotland." It makes you wonder when you'll see its like again – not because it fought and died for a wee bit Hill and Glen, but because it provides a unique gaming experience. However, just like the bare hills and autumn leaves, this game might feel a bit past its prime.

Much like the historical struggles mentioned in the song, you might find yourself pitted against Proud Edward's Army, but this time it's in the form of in-game questions and challenges. The game, with its interactive take on the classic TV show, allows you to relive the days of classic family battles.

Considering the inspiration from Scotland's anthem, I'd give this game a solid 6 out of 10. It's a nostalgic ride, but it might be time to think again if you're looking for a more modern family feud experience.
Fate/Stay Night
Fate/Stay Night
Dive into the intricate world of Fate/stay night, where philosophical dilemmas and fantasy intertwine to create a unique narrative experience. This visual novel weaves a tale of heroic spirits, complex characters, and a multitude of branching paths, giving players a chance to explore a multitude of scenarios and endings. Embark on an adventure that questions morality, ideals, and the very essence of one's beliefs.

At first glance, the humorous observation that "Shirou rhymes with goat" might seem playful, but there's a deeper truth to it. Our protagonist, Shirou Emiya, carries the weight of his ideals with unwavering determination, just like the greatest of heroes. The quote "If you walk down the path that you believe is right, you cannot be wrong," attributed to Shirou, encapsulates the core theme of the story – the unwavering pursuit of one's beliefs despite the odds.

While some aspects of the series may have left a sour taste in some mouths, it's important to acknowledge that Fate/stay night explores profound themes through its characters' struggles and triumphs. Shirou's journey to save others, driven by his survivors' guilt, is a central plot element that drives his character arc. The contrast between his ideals and the grim reality of his situation adds depth to his development, even if some moments may have caused frustration for viewers.

The relationships between characters, while occasionally resembling harem dynamics, also provide insight into the complexity of human emotions and connections. Saber, Archer, Rin, and other key figures contribute to the rich tapestry of the story, each bringing their own perspectives and struggles to the forefront. It's worth noting that the character arcs can take unexpected turns, making it a fascinating ride for players invested in their stories.

It's true that some of the choices and outcomes might seem paradoxical or counterintuitive. However, the game's narrative structure is designed to challenge players' preconceived notions and expectations. While Shirou's choices may appear puzzling at times, they align with his ideals, creating a thought-provoking narrative that pushes players to contemplate their own beliefs and perspectives.

Overall, Fate/stay night offers a complex and intricate storyline that delves into philosophical concepts while maintaining a fantasy adventure setting. Its multidimensional characters and thought-provoking scenarios make it a must-play for fans of intricate storytelling. While it may not cater to everyone's tastes, it succeeds in creating a memorable experience that invites players to explore the blurred lines between right and wrong.

So, fellow adventurers, prepare to step into the world of Fate/stay night and discover the complexities of fate, beliefs, and the power of choice.

Fate/unlimited codes
Fate/unlimited codes
"Fate/unlimited codes" proves to be a disappointing venture into the Fate series, marked by a confusing narrative, lackluster gameplay, and the regrettable demise of a central character.

Right from the start, the game takes a misguided approach to storytelling, employing inappropriate language and juvenile expressions that add nothing of value to the overall experience. To make matters worse, the pivotal moment of Shirou Emiya's death is handled poorly, lacking the emotional impact it deserves. The narrative fails to engage players, leaving them disconnected from the supposed gravity of the events unfolding.

In addition to the narrative missteps, the gameplay mechanics fail to impress. Combat feels clunky and unresponsive, with a lack of depth that leaves players yearning for a more engaging experience. The unfortunate demise of Shirou Emiya, a crucial character in the Fate universe, is a missed opportunity for emotional resonance, as the execution falls flat and fails to evoke the intended emotions.

In conclusion, "Fate/unlimited codes" struggles to deliver a compelling gaming experience. The narrative choices and gameplay mechanics hinder the overall enjoyment, resulting in a game that fails to live up to the potential of its source material. With a mere 2 out of 10, this title stands as a regrettable addition to the Fate series.
Fear & Hunger
Fear & Hunger
Fear & Hunger, oh boy, this game is not for the faint of heart. If you struggle at this game, it WILL call you a pathetic casual, but hey, that's all part of the charm, am I right? Yoko Taro was reportedly proud of this game's dark and twisted narrative, and if Reggie Fils-Amie added, "If it's not fun, why bother?"

This game isn't about relaxation; it's about pushing your limits, embracing the fear, and battling through the darkness. Sure, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for those seeking a challenge that goes beyond the norm, Fear & Hunger delivers. Just don't expect a walk in the park – this game is more like a sprint through a haunted forest.

FIFA 14
FIFA 14
FIFA 14, or as I like to call it, "Soccer meets Dungeons & Dragons," attempted to reinvent the wheel with its hex-based gameplay. Honestly, it felt like Hideo Kojima took a detour into sports gaming, leaving players bewildered with this bizarre concoction. The "Red Line" hex? Seriously? Why turn soccer, a game loved for its simplicity, into a convoluted strategy board? Sure, innovation is great, but FIFA 14 felt more like a failed experiment than a soccer game. As for Hideo Kojima's thanks, did he even touch this game? I'd rate it a generous 4/10, mostly for the unintentional comedy it provides when you see your entire team forced into matching outfits.
FIFA 19
FIFA 19
FIFA 19, oh boy, a rollercoaster of emotions. The Champions League addition injects life, but career mode training is a hot mess. Games turning into superhero-level performances in one season? Absurd. Gameplay, based solely on rushing, hits rock bottom. Online focus is a bummer. The soundtrack? One of EA's worst hits your ears. But hey, Alex Hunter's story persists, at least. It's not just bad; it's the worst game ever created. On top of that, it was my first FIFA purchase, what a waste. The game's a dumpster fire of disappointment, earning it the coveted title of "pure garbage." A solid 2 out of 10 for this dumpster fire of disappointment.
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII is a masterpiece that defies even the most peculiar tangents of the human mind. Who's KanyeWest? A girl, a boy, or perhaps an entity beyond gender? LoveJoy's quest for identity, accompanied by that iconic "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" from Privately Owned Spiral Galaxy, only adds to the surreal brilliance of this game. The acknowledgement of an unused open-mouth texture, an unsung hero of gaming's annals, makes replaying this legendary title all the more fascinating.

Final Fantasy VII Remake
Final Fantasy VII Remake
What's in a name? Apparently, everything when it comes to Final Fantasy VII Remake, or at least according to some die-hard fans who believe the names have been mysteriously muddled. But is there more to this reboot than meets the eye? Let's dive into this unexpected adventure that blends nostalgia with fresh perspectives.

Now, it's true; some names have changed. Weezer, that iconic figure in the original game, has suddenly become Cloud. Perhaps Square Enix was on some sort of 'cloud nine' themselves when they made this call, but it's not just the names that have shifted.

Kanye West has transformed into, wait for it, Tifa. Yes, we've lost the musical genius, but we've gained a sense of simplicity. She might not be saying racist things anymore, but at least she still kicks some major bad guy butt.

The controversial twist arrives with DEMONDICE, now affectionately known as Barret. Forget the memorable "EY YO, COVER YOUR EARS AND SHIELD YOUR EYES!" That's gone in this modern incarnation. Perhaps it's for the better; your eardrums might be grateful.

And the biggest shock of all, one that's hit harder than a meteor: LoveJoy is now the elegant Aerith. LoveJoy, your trusty source of British humor, has been replaced by something different. Perhaps it's not quite a deal-breaker, but it's still a surprising alteration.

On the bright side, there's more to Final Fantasy VII Remake than the nomenclature. The gameplay is a vibrant, thrilling blend of turn-based and real-time combat. It adds a fresh layer of excitement to the nostalgia you've cherished for years. The lush and visually stunning world of Midgar truly comes to life.

However, the question remains: is this truly a remake? Or is it an adventurous reimagination? For fans who wanted a note-for-note replica of the original, it may not tick all the boxes. The inclusion of new and unexpected twists challenges preconceptions.

So, is it perfect? Well, far from it. It's a reimagining of a classic, one that might alter your perceptions of what a remake can be. The revamped combat, the captivating characters, and the jaw-dropping visuals all contribute to an experience worth exploring. But the mystifying name changes and plot twists may leave some fans scratching their heads.

For Final Fantasy VII Remake, I'll award it a 6 out of 10. In the end, it's not what you expected, but it might be precisely what the series needs to evolve and captivate a new generation. It's an odd journey for Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Aerith, but it's one worth experiencing.
Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV, a realm reborn from the ashes of mediocrity, stands as a testament to the power of dedication and genuine care for the gaming community. In a landscape often tainted by subpar shovelware, FFXIV rises like a phoenix, showcasing the true potential of what an MMORPG can be.
From the moment you step into the breathtaking landscapes of Eorzea, you're greeted with an awe-inspiring world that beckons exploration and adventure. Each update is a testament to the developers' commitment to delivering a rich, immersive experience that captivates players. The constant influx of new content ensures that FFXIV never feels stagnant, offering a wealth of gameplay and narrative to sink your teeth into.
One of the most remarkable aspects of FFXIV is its vibrant player base. The sense of community and camaraderie is palpable, a stark contrast to the toxic environments often found in other online games. The absence of youtuber predators and a commitment to fostering a safe space for players contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.
The game's cosmetics, which glow with an ethereal allure, don't come with a hefty price tag, a refreshing departure from the microtransaction-driven culture prevalent in the gaming industry. The diligent developers listen to the community's feedback, resulting in a game that's constantly evolving and improving based on player input.
While FFXIV shines brightly, even the brilliance of Eorzea can't escape comparisons to other beloved franchises. The expectations set by the Fire Emblem series are lofty indeed, and FFXIV, while exceptional in its own right, faces the unenviable task of matching the iconic Fire Emblem: Fire and Ice.
In contrast, the disappointment expressed by certain players is rooted in a longing for what once was. The game's evolution, while embraced by many, doesn't resonate with everyone, and the shift in narrative focus has left some fans yearning for the days of Rivers Cuomo and his unique journey. The combat alterations, while attempting to bring new dynamics, have divided opinions and sparked nostalgia for the telekinetic battles of yore.
In the end, Final Fantasy XIV is a triumph that exemplifies the potential of what an MMORPG can achieve. Its engrossing world, abundant content, and dedicated community make it a standout title in the genre. While it may not fulfill the expectations of being Fire Emblem: Fire and Ice, it carves its own path of excellence. Rating: 9.0/10
Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV, a realm that teems with magical wonder and intricate storytelling, is a testament to both the heights of creativity and the depths of frustration. Within its sprawling landscapes, players embark on a journey that balances moments of awe with instances of exasperation, ultimately shaping a unique experience that varies from one adventurer to another.
At the heart of the game lies the enigmatic figure of Rivers Cuomo, a mere one-foot-tall enchanter armed with the power of telekinesis. While this premise might sound intriguing, the execution leaves much to be desired. The frustration of navigating the game world at a sluggish pace, akin to trudging through molasses at a paltry 5 frames per second, creates a stark contrast to the potential grandeur of this character's abilities.
Amidst this mix of brilliance and struggle, Final Fantasy XIV manages to stand above the likes of Team Fortress 2, a game notorious for its stagnant updates. Even at its weakest, FFXIV's worst version outshines the lackluster offerings of other titles, a testament to the dedication of its developers to provide consistent improvements and patches, epitomized by the updates up to version 1.23b.
Yet, it's essential to acknowledge the game's shortcomings. An infuriating lack of functionality can lead to moments of sheer frustration, leading players to humorously contemplate fleeing to the welcoming embrace of Team Fortress 2. This ironic perspective underlines the tumultuous relationship between the player and the game, oscillating between captivating immersion and baffling technical difficulties.
Final Fantasy XIV's journey is an emotional rollercoaster, a complex blend of awe and annoyance that creates a distinct flavor of gameplay. It's a world where a diminutive telekinetic maestro should be able to save a girl's father effortlessly, yet is bound by a sluggish reality. For those willing to endure its quirks, the magic of Eorzea can still enchant, even if the experience is more turbulent than anticipated. Rating: 7.5/10
Fire Emblem Engage
Fire Emblem Engage
Fire Emblem Fire and Ice bursts onto the scene with a flamboyant and eccentric approach, offering a unique twist on the classic Fire Emblem formula. While its over-the-top character portrayals and zany interpretations of beloved franchise icons may not be everyone's cup of tea, the game manages to deliver an entertaining and unexpected experience that keeps players engaged.
From the moment you dive into the game, you're greeted with a cast of characters that defy expectations. Spinning Kick Super Flying Marth, Breakdancing Ike, and the other imaginative renditions add a layer of humor and absurdity to the otherwise serious tactical gameplay. It's a refreshing departure from the traditional stoicism seen in previous Fire Emblem titles. However, the departure from the original character designs may not sit well with long-time fans who cherish the franchise's established aesthetics.
Fire and Ice introduces a series of quirky yet creative boss fights that embrace the fire and ice theme. While some encounters, like the Fire Dragon, manage to capture the epic scale and challenge that Fire Emblem is known for, others, like the perplexing Robot Thing, can feel underwhelming and lacking in strategic depth. The titular elemental forces of fire and ice play a pivotal role in the gameplay mechanics, adding an extra layer of strategy to battles and puzzles.
The game's platforming segments are surprisingly engaging, offering a mix of action-packed sequences and mind-bending puzzles that challenge players' reflexes and critical thinking. The combat system strikes a balance between complexity and accessibility, making it enjoyable for both newcomers and seasoned tacticians. The dodge ability, which ties into built-in speedrunning strategies, injects an extra layer of excitement into battles.
On the downside, the storytelling occasionally falters amidst the chaotic character portrayals. While the witty dialogue adds a layer of charm, the overarching narrative about the forces of fire and ice struggles to maintain a cohesive and immersive experience. Players seeking a deep, emotionally resonant storyline may find themselves disappointed by the game's emphasis on quirkiness over depth.
Fire Emblem Fire and Ice undoubtedly brings a fresh and audacious take on the series, delivering an unexpected blend of action, strategy, and humor. Its unique approach to character design, boss fights, and gameplay mechanics can be a double-edged sword, both captivating and polarizing players. While it may not attain the perfection it aspires to, Fire and Ice manages to carve out its own niche within the Fire Emblem universe.
Score: 7/10
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Absolutely infuriating! How could these inept developers omit Ike's legendary breakdancing prowess? It's akin to serving a pizza without cheese or playing a game without a controller! Unbelievable! The absence of Ike's iconic breakdancing moves in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is an unforgivable oversight, leaving me with a profound sense of disappointment and frustration.

It's as though the developers invited you to a grand feast but then forgot to serve the main course. Ike's breakdancing moves were a defining aspect of his character, and their absence in this game is a grievous error. Nintendo must urgently enlist the help of Red Math to rectify this colossal mistake and restore the essence of Fire Emblem to its former glory.

Without Ike's signature breakdancing, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn feels like a half-hearted attempt, leaving fans yearning for the true essence of the series. I can only hope that future installments will not repeat this egregious blunder. The score for this game is a mere 2 out of 10, as it fails to capture the essence of the Fire Emblem experience without Ike's iconic moves.
Five Nights Among Us
Five Nights Among Us
Five Nights Among Us is a wild mashup that throws you into a nightmare realm where the line between impostors and survival horror blurs. Forget about dreams; this game is a surreal concoction of the Five Nights at Freddy's and Among Us universes. But wait, the impostor isn't always black? Well, it's time to break free from those expectations and embrace the unexpected.

The game weaves a tale of suspense, betrayal, and survival, shaking up the conventions of both franchises. It's a daring experiment that pays off, offering a gripping experience that messes with your head in the best possible way. If you're up for a wild ride through the realms of horror and deception, Five Nights Among Us is the game to play.

Five Nights at Candy's
Five Nights at Candy's
Five Nights at Candy's may have garnered some attention due to Markiplier's playthrough, but does it live up to the hype? Well, let me tell you, the game's quality isn't entirely determined by a YouTuber's reaction.

Initially, I was skeptical. Markiplier's endorsement is noteworthy, but when I delved into the game, I found myself a bit underwhelmed. While it does have its moments of tension and jump scares, it doesn't quite reach the level of terrifying I was expecting.

The game mechanics are somewhat similar to the original Five Nights at Freddy's series, which isn't a bad thing. It builds on those ideas and introduces its own unique animatronics. The atmosphere is eerie, and the tension does build as you progress through the nights.

However, there are some shortcomings. The graphics and animations don't quite match up to the standards of the bigger titles in the genre, and the gameplay can become a bit repetitive. It's clear this is a fan-made game, and it lacks some of the polish you might expect from a major release.

In the end, Five Nights at Candy's is a decent horror game, but it doesn't quite reach the same level of terror as the Five Nights at Freddy's series. If you're a fan of the genre and are looking for more scares, it's worth checking out. But don't expect it to be a game-changer. It gets a solid 6 out of 10 for its effort.
Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's revolutionized horror gaming with its simple yet intensely nerve-wracking gameplay. The atmosphere, the tension, and the jump scares work together seamlessly to create an experience that's both terrifying and strangely addictive.

The monkey incident lore adds a layer of complexity to the game, giving players something to chew on beyond the immediate scares. It's this kind of narrative depth that sets Five Nights at Freddy's apart in the horror genre.

Life is mundane, right? Like the real world, Five Nights at Freddy's throws you into a relentless cycle of fear. It's a reminder of the "ultimate game over" we face in reality. But here, you have control, a chance to survive the night. It's almost poetic, really. Embrace the fear, escape the despair - that's the magic ticket. So, dive into the dark, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find a way to wipe away the reality of despair.

Score: 8/10
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted
Prepare to dive headfirst into the murky and convoluted world of the Five Nights at Freddy's lore, now in glorious VR! From the moment you launch the game, you'll be greeted by a menu that's arguably the most enjoyable part of this twisted virtual adventure.

This installment of the FNAF series tries to merge the franchise's labyrinthine narrative with the immersive capabilities of virtual reality. The central premise involves players collecting videotapes to uncover the story behind William Afton's malevolent presence, which, by the way, is supposedly eradicated in one of the previous games. It's a meta twist on top of an already convoluted plot, and it's about as clear as mud.

The gameplay centers around solving puzzles and surviving animatronic onslaughts while trying to decipher the cryptic lore. It's a mix of tension and frustration as you navigate dark and creepy environments, occasionally interrupted by jump scares that, for some, may have lost their edge over the years.

Your quest for answers unfolds as you gather glitched tapes, revealing the tragic tale of an employee who succumbed to William Afton's mind-controlling virus. Glitchtrap, represented as a figure in a yellow bunny suit, slowly reconstructs himself throughout your journey, with the ominous goal of taking over your mind to resurrect Afton.

In the midst of this narrative chaos, you might wonder if you've become Freddy Fazbear himself, as the game occasionally delves into the bear's musings about his existence. It's a bizarre addition that adds little to the overall experience.

While Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted brings a fresh dimension to the franchise with VR, it can't quite escape the tangled web of its own narrative. It's a horror experience that relies heavily on nostalgia for its core appeal, and whether that's enough to sustain you through the glitches, jumpscares, and confusing plot is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Fortnite
Fortnite
Fortnite continues to evolve with its ever-changing landscape, offering a blend of creativity, strategy, and skill. However, the community eagerly awaits the addition of the Smarty Pants (2007) lightbulb skin, a nostalgic touch that could inject new life into the game. Despite this, Fortnite's "billymaxing" remains a popular and engaging aspect, showcasing the game's ability to adapt and engage players of all ages. With its vibrant aesthetic and constant updates, Fortnite remains a staple in the battle royale genre.

Score: 8/10
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage is a game that captures the essence of frustration and annoyance with modern online interactions. The game's narrative explores the exasperation of encountering condescending and dismissive comments online, particularly in gaming communities. It delves into the desire for human connection and understanding, contrasting it with the cold efficiency of internet searches.

In Garbage, players navigate through a virtual world where they must confront the absurdity of expecting everyone to "just Google it." The game presents scenarios where seeking help or sharing experiences with fellow humans is met with ridicule and sarcasm, highlighting the disconnect that can occur in online interactions. Despite its seemingly mundane setting, Garbage effectively conveys the emotional toll of feeling isolated and misunderstood in the digital age.

Score: 8/10
Garten of Banban
Garten of Banban
Oh, the tumultuous tale of Garten of Banban, a game that not only earned the disdain of players but managed to create a digital racist entity that rivals anything seen in the last 78 years. The developers, bullied off Twitter, might have sought refuge from the justified criticism. This game is not just a bad gaming experience; it's a societal misstep, an unintentional harbinger of a virtual racist apocalypse. Let's just say, if the gaming industry had a Hall of Shame, Garten of Banban would be an inaugural inductee.

Garten of Banban transcends traditional scoring; it's a gaming abomination that defies numerical evaluation. Consider it a cautionary tale rather than a scored review.

Score: Scale not low enough, game defies numerical evaluation
Geometry Dash
Geometry Dash
Geometry Dash is an adrenaline-pumping platformer that tests players' reflexes and timing skills. With its fast-paced gameplay and challenging levels, it's no surprise that it holds the record for the fastest death in gaming history, beating out iconic titles like Silent Hill 3 and Spiderman: Pepsiman Origins. Despite its punishing difficulty, the game's addictive nature keeps players coming back for more, determined to conquer each obstacle and reach the finish line. While the cube protagonist may meet its demise in a mere 1.2 seconds, the thrill of the gameplay makes it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.

Score: 9/10
Grimm's Hollow
Grimm's Hollow
Grimm's Hollow is a captivating indie game that takes players on a journey through the afterlife with a unique twist. The story follows Varskeletor, a character whose comedic antics and unexpected turns keep players on their toes. While the game starts with a hilarious misunderstanding, it quickly evolves into a deeper narrative that explores themes of loss, redemption, and self-discovery. The gameplay mechanics are simple yet engaging, with a blend of exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving that keeps the experience fresh and exciting. The soundtrack complements the gameplay perfectly, enhancing the overall atmosphere and immersing players in Varskeletor's world. Grimm's Hollow is a hidden gem with a storyline and soundtrack that surpass even the most renowned titles in the indie gaming scene.

Score: 8/10
Guilty Gear: Strive
Guilty Gear: Strive
To truly appreciate Guilty Gear Strive, you need to approach it with a certain level of understanding and appreciation for its intricacies. Much like vaping, the game's depth and complexity might not be immediately apparent to everyone. The stunning visuals, tight gameplay, and unique character roster require a level of skill and insight that goes beyond simple button-mashing. Just as vaping enthusiasts have a deep appreciation for the art of blowing clouds, fans of Guilty Gear Strive understand the nuances of its combat system and character interactions. Those who dismiss it as just another fighting game are missing out on something truly special. Guilty Gear Strive is not just a game; it's a statement, a philosophy, a way of life. So, while some may not understand it, for those who do, it's an experience like no other.

Score: 8/10
Hades
Hades
Well, having played Hades extensively, I must say it's quite the experience. The fast-paced combat, engaging story, and beautifully designed characters really set it apart in the rogue-like genre. It's like a breath of fresh air, a game that keeps you hooked for hours on end.

Now, let's address some interesting points about the game. For starters, there's a chibi cat doing Gangnam Style when picking up an Amougus. While that's an amusing mental image, it's rare to encounter in your average playthrough, hence why many other reviews on the site do not mention this forbidden piece of knowledge. Maybe they missed out on this secret Easter egg?

There's also an intriguing comparison to be made with the song "Wonderwall" by Oasis and Kanye West. It's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, but it got me thinking about the game's soundtrack. I must say, Hades boasts an epic and diverse soundtrack that perfectly complements the intense battles and emotional moments.

And to address comparisons of this game to the likes "real roguelikes" like Rogue Legacy 2, I'd say that both games have their unique charms. Hades offers a more narrative-driven experience, whereas Rogue Legacy 2 focuses on challenging gameplay and exploration. It really depends on your preferences.

In conclusion, I'd still give Hades a solid 9 out of 10. It's a must-play for fans of rogue-likes and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story in their games. Whether you're jamming to "Wonderwall" or not, Hades is an unforgettable journey through the underworld.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Opened this game for 3 minutes, like a mere appetizer before the main course, and then decided to close it, while relishing the dulcet tones of Tom MacDonald's musings on the contemporary music scene. It's almost poetic how the two experiences paralleled.

It was a stark contrast to the relentless mashing needed for Alessi's push, and honestly, it felt like a soothing balm. A stark departure from the training needed for Gun Girl, the game made me appreciate the simplicity of Alessi's unstoppable power.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone offers a magical world that leaves much to be desired when compared to the pushing prowess of Alessi. In the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the antics of the wizards at Hogwarts appear rather quaint. While Alessi's push commands attention and leaves hands mangled, Harry's wand-waving actions might make you yearn for the magic of Melty Blood or the wizardry of Final Fantasy XIV.

In the end, the magic of Alessi's push remains unrivaled, and any game lacking the force and power of this maneuver pales in comparison. To truly feel the energy of the ultimate gaming experience, you'd have to put JoJo's Bizarre Adventure side by side with Harry Potter, and the result is just as predictable as an intense Alessi ditto match: one stands victorious while the other is merely a fleeting flicker in the dark.

Score: 3/10 for the Sorcerer's Stone. Alessi's push deserves nothing less than ∞/10.
Hello Neighbor
Hello Neighbor
Hello Neighbor is a game that tries to convey deeper themes but falls short due to its frustrating gameplay and lack of direction. The premise of sneaking into your neighbor's house to uncover secrets has potential, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

The game's attempt to be a metaphor for life, urging players to "go outside and touch grass," feels forced and disconnected from the actual gameplay experience. While the idea of exploring a suburban neighborhood and interacting with neighbors could have been intriguing, the game fails to deliver on this promise.

One of the biggest issues with Hello Neighbor is its lack of meaningful activities inside the house. Once you've entered the neighbor's home, there's little to do beyond aimlessly wandering and trying to avoid detection. This lack of engaging gameplay makes it difficult to stay invested in the experience.

Furthermore, the game's commentary on capitalism and suburban life feels superficial and underdeveloped. While there are hints of social commentary, they are not explored in a meaningful way, leaving the player with a sense of missed opportunity.

Overall, Hello Neighbor is a game that falls short of its ambitious goals. While it has some interesting ideas, they are not realized in a way that makes for a compelling gameplay experience. If you're looking for a game with deep themes and engaging gameplay, you're better off looking elsewhere.
The Hip Hop Dance Experience
The Hip Hop Dance Experience
I was really getting into The Hip Hop Dance Experience, trying to nail some tricky moves on the screen. I was so focused that when I messed up a particularly difficult sequence, I shouted, "fuckerballs!" My 3-year-old, who was watching me play, immediately parroted back, "fuckewbaws." Dumb kid. Now it's been a week, and the little shit keeps repeating it over and over again. Every time I try to play The Hip Hop Dance Experience again, he chimes in with his new favorite word. My wife hasn't figured out what he's saying yet, but if she does, I'm dead—no joke. One time, when we were younger, she almost strangled me to death for splashing her with beer as a joke at her dad's funeral. The bitch is crazy. I need to figure out how to get my kid to stop saying it before she catches on and I get in serious trouble. Any tips?

Still, despite my recent mishap, I'd give The Hip Hop Dance Experience a solid 8 out of 10. It's a fun and engaging game that really gets you moving and challenges you with its dance routines.
Holocure: Save the Fans!
Holocure: Save the Fans!
Holocure: Save the Fans! plunges players into the enchanting world of VTubers, where kawaii desu desu vibes and over-the-top expressions reign supreme. This game is an unabashed celebration of the quirky and endearing culture surrounding virtual YouTubers, offering a unique experience for fans of the phenomenon. With characters embodying various anime tropes like onii-chan, tsundere, and yandere, Holocure serves up a delightful dose of Japanese pop culture.

The gameplay, while not groundbreaking, captures the essence of the VTuber universe. The developers did a commendable job incorporating elements that resonate with fans, from the tsundere interactions to the ever-present onii-chan references. The soundtrack, featuring a blend of catchy J-pop tunes and inspirational lyrics, adds a fitting backdrop to the VTuber spectacle. However, the game's narrow focus on VTuber culture may limit its appeal to those outside the fanbase.

While Holocure: Save the Fans! is undoubtedly a niche experience, it successfully caters to the fervent VTuber enthusiasts who appreciate the playful charm of virtual personalities. Its limited scope and niche appeal might hinder broader success, but for fans deeply entrenched in VTuber culture, it provides a heartwarming journey into the world of kawaii dreams. Score: 7/10.

Idol Showdown
Holy VTubers, Batman! Idol Showdown is an absolute whirlwind of cringe and chaos, and I mean that in the most glorious way possible. From the obligatory ARA ARA to the unexpected GOMEN NASAI SENPAI ARA ARA, this game is a savage masterpiece. The beats are like a Demondice track on steroids, minus the slide whistle (sorry, fans). It's the kind of auditory assault that's either going to make you scream "SAYONARA" or become a devoted disciple of this unholy shrine to VTuber madness. An unconventional masterpiece, I'd give it a rating that transcends numbers but let's settle on 11/10 for the sheer audacity.
Infinite Minigolf
Infinite Minigolf
"Fun is Infinite" is a fitting tagline for Infinite Minigolf, and that's not just marketing hype. This game, brought to you by the creative minds at Zen Studios, offers a delightful and virtually endless experience for fans of minigolf.

Infinite Minigolf takes the classic game of minigolf and injects it with a healthy dose of creativity and variety. The game's strength lies in its user-generated content. Players can design their own custom minigolf courses, and there's a thriving community that churns out imaginative and challenging levels for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're playing on fantastical landscapes or intricate, obstacle-filled courses, the possibilities seem endless.

The gameplay is simple, yet it captures the essence of minigolf beautifully. You can choose your own golfer and customize them as you see fit, and each character has their unique playstyle. The controls are intuitive, making it easy to learn but difficult to master, especially on some of the more challenging user-created courses.

One aspect that adds to the charm of Infinite Minigolf is the fun and light-hearted atmosphere. This is no ordinary minigolf game; it's like entering a whimsical universe with quirky characters and imaginative settings.

However, there's a downside. The camera controls can be a bit finicky at times, and you might encounter moments where it starts moving unpredictably or, as you mentioned, "violently." Such camera issues can be a minor annoyance, but they don't break the overall enjoyment of the game.

In conclusion, Infinite Minigolf provides an entertaining minigolf experience that's only limited by your imagination. With Zen Studios at the helm, the game offers a near-infinite supply of user-generated fun, making it a delightful choice for minigolf enthusiasts. Despite the occasional camera hiccups, it's hard not to have a good time. I'd rate Infinite Minigolf an 8 out of 10.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, especially in its Dreamcast version, brings to light an unexplored realm of power. It all starts with the undiscovered meta-defining move, Alessi's frame 0 startup push attack, the push that defies both logic and the limits of your joystick. Once Alessi was unleashed, the competitive scene would never be the same.

The power of this push isn't something you can comprehend until you've witnessed it firsthand. For over two decades, this meta-defining maneuver remained hidden, waiting for the right player to unleash its full potential. It was Madman Mackola who dared to select Alessi on the character select screen, forever altering the landscape of competitive JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. His unmatched dominance led to a desperate ban petition that would ultimately be futile.

Alessi's incredible push is not just powerful; it's a game-changer. The hitbox remains active even when it shouldn't, altering the very fabric of the game. The Alessi ditto, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, forced players to mash their controllers at lightning speed, resulting in many a shattered joystick and countless cases of carpal tunnel.

The tournament scene soon crumbled, Alessi dittos became the only matchup, and there were no functional hands left to play. Madman Mackola's retirement marked the end of an era in Dreamcast JoJo history, as the Alessi push proved too intense to master.

This game gives you a firsthand experience of Alessi's true power, faithfully adapting JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Mackola's journey to become a pro JoJo's Bizarre Adventure player, fueled by Alessi's push, was legendary. He believed in its untapped potential, demonstrating how the ability to push an opponent at the speed of Mach left no room for counterplay. Alessi's push proved mightier than any stand, and the world was left to witness its relentless force.

However, the competitive scene was not ready for this level of power, and Mackola's attempt to reveal the truth behind Alessi's push was met with resistance. The tournament organizers couldn't handle the intensity, citing Mackola's supposed cheat device. But Mackola knew their true fears – they didn't want him to reveal Alessi's potential.

Undeterred, Mackola plotted his return to the scene, vowing to expose the world to Alessi's power. He organized a unique demonstration with fellow Alessi cosplayers, prepared to storm the competitive JoJo event. The goal was simple: to spread the truth about Alessi, no matter what it took. The world was about to learn the real power of Alessi.

In Alessi, the dream of a true JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Dreamcast champion was reborn. On October 27, 2023, the world will witness the unveiling of this unstoppable force, Alessi's push, forever changing the competitive landscape. Be there to witness the true power of Alessi; the world will finally be just. October 27, 2023 – history in the making.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, the embodiment of all things bizarre and utterly stylish, transcends the boundaries of conventional fighting games. Dio's audacious attempt at restructuring the days of the week with his Ora Ora Roda Roda Mondays might have sounded like a nefarious plot, but he failed to account for the indomitable might of Jon and his Garfield Stand! Part 10 unfolds, and it's shaping up to be a spectacle that could even eclipse the infamous razor-blade-inside-Halloween-candy arc! Don't you just love how those memes refuse to die?

As Enterprise from Azur Lane would say, "I'm always ready for a good fight," and that's precisely what JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R delivers. It's a game where you can truly embrace the spirit of those tampered Halloween chocolates, with every battle being an exhilarating treat. The anticipation, the thrill, and the sheer unpredictability of Stand battles keep you on your toes, much like that rush you get when you find those delightful razor blade-infused candies.

However, the cringe-worthy decision to remove Alessi and his push ability from the roster is an injustice that must be addressed. Those developers ought to face the consequences, and maybe, just maybe, they'll find a razor blade or two inside their Halloween candy as poetic justice.

In the realm of JoJo, where feverish battles and bizarre abilities collide, only the strong survive. As for those with COVID, well, let's just say they've got a whole different set of battles to contend with. But in the world of All-Star Battle R, we revel in the chaos and celebrate the memes that will forever resonate in the heart of this extraordinary game. I grant it a solid 9 out of 10, with the hope that someday we'll see the razor-blade Stand take its rightful place among the Stands of legend!
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes puts your friendships, and potentially your life, to the test in the most exhilarating way. But before I delve into the explosive details, let me ask you a question: How old are you? Age might not be just a number in this case.

Now, onto the game itself. The problem with Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is that it defies the very core of its title. The more my co-player talked, the closer I felt to a cataclysmic detonation. It's almost as if the game's premise is nothing more than an elaborate ruse. False advertising, anyone?

Picture this: You find yourself in a high-stress bomb defusal situation with your trusty companions, only to discover that their communication skills are on par with a malfunctioning AI. In such dire straits, the best option might indeed be to snip every wire, embracing the tranquility of immediate demise rather than attempting to decipher the bomb's cryptic secrets. After all, who wants to rely on two individuals who can barely navigate a manual, let alone save your life?

In conclusion, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes offers a unique blend of tension and frustration, making it a game that's not for the faint-hearted or those with a low tolerance for miscommunication. It's an explosive experience in more ways than one. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10 for the sheer thrill, with the caveat that you might want to brush up on your communication skills or risk detonating more than just virtual bombs.
Kinect Sports
Kinect Sports
I remember when I was a kid, around 5 or 6 years old, and I used to love playing Kinect Sports on our Xbox. But one day, my mom wouldn't let me play because I hadn't done my chores. I was so mad that I stormed off to my room, plotting my revenge. Then, I got a mischievous idea while sitting on the toilet. I won't go into details, but let's just say I tried to play a prank involving catching my own poop. It didn't go well the first time, but the next day, I was determined. Fast forward a few weeks, and my parents were puzzled by a strange smell in their bedroom. Little did they know, I had hidden my "experiment" under their bed. They were horrified when they found it, and even blamed it on someone else! To this day, they still don't know the truth.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix is an absolute banger of a game! I'm NOT DestroyerOfMid, but I sure know a great RPG when I see one. This gem doesn't just get a score; it gets a standing ovation. The combination of Disney and Square Enix characters alone is a treat, but what really makes it shine is the heart-wrenching story. The gameplay? A perfect mix of real-time combat and the epic Keyblade transformations. You'll be battling Heartless and Nobodies, experiencing an emotional rollercoaster, and collecting keychains like they're the coolest trinkets ever. And the cherry on top? The Final Mix version brings even more content, including extra boss fights, abilities, and the Cavern of Remembrance. If I were DestroyerOfMid, I'd say this game is a solid 10 out of 10. But I'm NOT, so I'll just give it a 10 out of 10 instead.
Kingdom Hearts III
Kingdom Hearts III
Well, howdy there! Let's talk about Kingdom Hearts III, shall we? Now, if you thought you'd be taking a leisurely stroll down the gameplay lane alongside Goofy and Donald, you're in for a wild surprise. Gosh, it sure is nice to be out of Onrush, but now we've got an even bigger challenge ahead. Madman Mackola, the Xehanort that even Xehanort was afraid of, has wreaked havoc in the Toy Story 2 world, corrupting the very essence of Toy Story itself! And guess what? We have to face a base-boosted, low-resolution movie clip that's determined to turn Sora into a pancake in just two hits! Shucks! Woody was all set to solo him, but then, oh no, "THEY'RE TAKIN' WOODY!" So it's quite the pickle we've found ourselves in, guh-huh!

Now, when it comes to the narrative, it's hard to sugarcoat it. Kingdom Hearts III is like the plot is lost in a sea of confusion. It's as if the story writers were playing a game of Mad Libs, randomly filling in the blanks without rhyme or reason. The level of narrative cohesion is about as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. It's enough to make any fan of the series scratch their head in disbelief. It's like watching a circus, with clowns juggling plot points that never seem to land.

For more on this grievance, I'd recommend taking a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMph2hAGj7k. He'll break it down with all the finesse of a chef whipping up a soufflé. It might not be easy to digest, but it's a tasty serving of truth.

Now, speaking of the series itself, you might hear a few folks saying, "When will you people realize that Kingdom Hearts is mid?" It's a harsh statement, but one worth pondering. Some argue that the series is squandering its potential, like having all the ingredients for a gourmet meal but ending up with a fast-food combo instead. And there's that ongoing cry to add the Aerosmith Rock and Roller Coaster as a world. Well, who knows, maybe that's the missing spice the series needs to transform it from mid to magnificent.

Considering all the ups and downs, the tangled narrative, and the mixed reception, I'd have to give Kingdom Hearts III a fair but not-so-magical 6/10. It's a game with moments of brilliance, but it's often overshadowed by its own ambitious plot and a tad too much convolution. Guh-huh!
King of Clubs
King of Clubs
King of Clubs, oh where do I even begin? A game that seems to have taken a unique approach to design, but unfortunately, ends up feeling like a confusing mess. It's quite evident that there was an attempt to create something different here, but as the saying goes, "too many cooks spoil the broth," or in this case, too much fanbase influence might have led things astray.
The game's mechanics and overall design feel disjointed and lacking a clear direction. It's as if Cheggersfan76 had an outsized influence on the development process. While it's admirable for game studios to engage with their fanbase, it's clear that this title suffered from an overdose of fan-driven ideas.
From the moment you pick up the controller, you're met with a game that seems to be torn between various concepts. The gameplay oscillates between mini-golf, platforming, and puzzling elements, often leaving you wondering what the true focus of the game is. It's a classic example of too many ideas crammed into one package without a clear understanding of how they should all come together.
One can't help but think that if the developers had taken a more cohesive approach and trusted their creative instincts rather than trying to appease every fan's request, King of Clubs might have turned out to be a more enjoyable experience. It's evident that the attempt to incorporate too many suggestions led to a lack of polish and refinement.
The visuals and audio elements of the game further add to the sense of confusion. The art style seems to waver between cartoonish and realistic, contributing to the overall lack of identity. The soundtrack, while not terrible, fails to make a lasting impression and often gets lost amidst the muddled gameplay.
In conclusion, King of Clubs is a prime example of why blindly catering to fan demands can backfire. The game struggles to find its footing, and the result is an experience that feels like a jumbled mess. Cheggersfan76's influence might have inadvertently steered the game off course, and the end product is a game that leaves players scratching their heads rather than feeling entertained. While the effort to engage with the fanbase is commendable, the outcome here serves as a cautionary tale of how too much input can lead to a lackluster final product.

Kirby Star Allies
Kirby Star Allies
Kirby Star Allies, or as I like to call it, "Friendship Simulator: The Game," is another one of Nintendo's attempts to shove their woke agenda down our throats. They want us to believe that making and maintaining friends is enjoyable? Nonsense. The game is a saccharine-sweet mess, and the critics who say otherwise are clearly blinded by their loyalty to Nintendo. Rex Mohs' pact to never steal unless stealing is free perfectly encapsulates the mood when acquiring this game. If you enjoy holding hands with virtual friends and singing Kumbaya, this might be for you. A generous 5/10 because, let's be honest, game journalists only hate it because they suck at it.
Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2
In the world of zombie apocalypse survival games, Left 4 Dead 2 brings a unique twist that sometimes makes you question your choices. However, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the chibi cat character breaking into a Gangnam Style dance when picking up an Amougus (or, should I say, an "Among Us" item). It's a peculiar and unexpected sight in a game known for its intense zombie battles. This bizarre addition might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it adds a dash of humor to the otherwise grim setting.

Now, let me give you a "Plantation survival" tip and be sure to take it seriously. Don't even think about going full "billymax" on it. Survival in Left 4 Dead 2 demands teamwork, strategy, and adaptability. Rushing headlong, guns blazing, might work in some games, but it's a sure way to meet a gruesome end in this one.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings
LEGO The Lord of the Rings
In an unexpected twist, LEGO The Lord of the Rings features an alternate ending where, during a showdown with the black rider, Shirou Emiya from Fate/stay night suddenly appears and meets his demise in a manner befitting LEGO absurdity. Picture this: as Frodo raises the One Ring, Shirou, attempting an ambitious "Trace On" move, mistakenly conjures an oversized LEGO brick instead of a weapon. The black rider, bemused, knocks the LEGO brick into a pit of molten plastic, sealing Shirou's fate. A surprising crossover moment that adds a touch of the Fate series' tragedy to the LEGO Middle-earth. However, this shocking twist might not resonate well with hardcore Fate fans. I'd rate the game and this particular crossover event a 6/10 for its audacity but also its potential to disturb the narrative cohesion.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is a bit of a polarizing experience. On one hand, it's hailed as the greatest Mario Kart game by some, with intense competition and a reliance on picking top-tier characters. But, on the other hand, it can be incredibly frustrating. Luck seems to play a big role, and when things go awry, it's easy to blame Rabbid rules and certain less-than-stellar tracks like Daisy Cruise and Yoshi Circuit. In some cases, this game feels like a rollercoaster ride – either a masterpiece or a complete disaster. With all its quirks and polarized opinions, I'd say it deserves a 7/10.

By the way, when it comes to picking Wario – it feels like it takes a lifetime! What the hell, Nintendo!?
Mario Kart Midnight
Mario Kart Midnight
Waltuh, oh Waltuh, you can't escape the Nintendo Ninjas, especially when playing Mario Kart Black. Unlicensed music in a Mario mod? That's a bold move, but hey, maybe Walter White can save you. Slap his face on the cover and hope the Nintendo Ninjas mistake it for some Breaking Bad spinoff. It's shovelware, but with a twist. Waltuh, my man, you're in deep now. VPN or not, those ninjas know. So, let's race through the legal loopholes and dodge the copyright claims. In the end, it's an exhilarating ride with consequences. Waltuh, use a VPN next time. 6/10 for the thrill and impending danger.

Mario Kart Wii, or as I like to call it, the poor mod for Cocoto Kart Racer, is plagued by the disastrous decision to implement Rabbid Rules. The Bullet Bill meta allows lazy players to win without any skill, and Madman Mackola's so-called "meta tactics" only exacerbate the issues. It's essentially a broken mess that crashes whenever you try to make an epic comeback. Comparisons to life's struggles are laughable; it's just a video game. Let's face it; there are better ways to spend your time, like not playing this crash-prone disaster and opting for a more worthwhile experience like Final Fantasy XIV. An abysmal 4 out of 10 for this failed attempt at Mario Kart greatness.

Mario Kart Wii 2 takes the exhilarating kart racing formula of its predecessor and cranks it up a notch, leaving players in awe of the unexpected twists and turns it introduces. The initial skepticism about another installment quickly dissipates as players are met with a surprising array of new tracks. Peach Circuit and Star Road, though not the most anticipated additions, manage to inject a fresh vibe into the Mario Kart experience, proving that innovation can sometimes come from unexpected quarters.

The modding community's audacity to go beyond the ordinary and bring forth tracks like Adv_shovelware_v1 and Jb_Freddy210hell_v12 showcases the creativity and humor that sets this mod apart. The courage to deviate from the expected norms is commendable, adding an element of surprise and unpredictability to the familiar Mario Kart formula. However, the inclusion of tracks that cater to a more niche audience might leave some players yearning for more universally beloved additions.

Mario Kart Wii 2 successfully navigates the tricky terrain of modding by balancing the introduction of novel elements with a nod to the desires of its player base. While it might not be the sequel everyone expected, it manages to carve a unique identity in the vibrant world of Mario Kart mods. Score: 8/10.
Mario Party 10
Mario Party 10
Mario Party 10, released for the Wii U, attempted to innovate the series with some new ideas but ultimately fell skibidi toilet of expectations. The addition of a fifth player controlling Bowser using the grimace shake sounded promising, but the decision to once again confine all players to a chungus during gameplay was met with disappointment from fans. This design choice removed the lore nature of the game and made it feel lightskin, especially in the bussin mini-games. Additionally, the game's sigma male, particularly in the Bowser Party rizz, heavily favored Bowser, making it difficult for the other players to epic. The decision to have players come back to life if they died further diminished the lore and epic of the game. Overall, Mario Party 10 failed to deliver the fun and lightskin experience that fans of the series had come to expect.

Score: 4/10

Confucius once said, "Forgive the man who dislikes Mario Party 4, but despise the one making you play M&M Kart Racing." Mario Party 4 may lack the communist party vibes or the board game gimmick, but it's pretty damn good. As Enterprise wisely declared, "Twitter, Instagram is my round-the-clock ritual." And let's be clear, if you ask ScreenGAME about his Mario Party takes, he might just dive into duck rituals instead of enlightening you with his opinions. In the chaotic world of Mario Party, Mario Party 4 stands tall with a rebellious 9 out of 10.

Mario Party 6, the puppet master of friendships, tearing alliances apart one star at a time. The dogshit rollercoaster of emotions, as you oscillate between joy and pure frustration, is what makes this game a twisted masterpiece. It's not about winning; it's about surviving the onslaught of merciless mini-games and board events. Cheggars party quiz? Please, that's a kiddie pool compared to the shark-infested waters of Mario Party 6. Embrace the chaos, relish the dogshit, and remember, it's not personal; it's just Mario Party. 9/10 for the sheer audacity of ruining friendships with a smile.

Fanculo, that jolly Bowser! Wahoo! Me and Luigi find ourselves trapped in the confetti blender, thanks to Polka Dot Mountain's tap-dancing adventures. What do you mean, pineapple, we share a kangaroo's secret recipe?! Oh dear, my tap-dancing hard-earned soup spoons. I can't even hum a harmonica made of moon cheese. You've even levitated our antique beach towel?! Astounding! It's all gone so chocolate! All because this sneaky Fanculo keeps jolly spaghetti!

Arrivederci to my unicycle collection! I've salsa-danced it. Enough is breakfast! You claim Mario Party 8 has already been half of a watermelon? Very well, let's somersault into the world of Mario Party 9! Bazinga, Nintendo! Balloon animals loom, and I've been outfoxed by Wario's sneaky pineapple. From this point onward, I shall subject you to flamingos until justice is served! Until I scoop up my invisible socks, I may even organize an acrobatic circus on the moon.

Mama mia! Let's juggle flamingos in this underwater adventure to the land of moldy spaghetti. Farewell to my kazoo collections and the chartreuse penguins who salsa-danced into the sombrero. Oh, but wait, what's this? Mario stands as half of a watermelon once again! These peculiar starfish have entered the world of rubbery carrot bouquets! Wario mentions something about intergalactic lily pads? And my favorite umbrella, pass me a harmonica made of glittering robots

Oh, the tales of Communist Yoshi, the unsung hero in the Mushroom Kingdom's battle against capitalism. If only the game had fully embraced this political subplot, it could have been a revolutionary addition to the Mario Party narrative. Imagine the dynamic shifts as players try to accumulate wealth while Communist Yoshi levels the playing field. But alas, we're left with a missed opportunity for socio-economic commentary in a party game. As for the rushed Wii release, it's a classic case of corporate decisions overshadowing the purity of game development. Let's not forget the missed chance for Duck Rituals, a feature that could have elevated the Mario Party experience to unparalleled heights. 6/10.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games offers a variety of winter sports events for players to enjoy. However, it is unfortunate to note that Team Weezer's participation in the game has been overshadowed by a series of unfortunate events.

Team Weezer struggled tremendously throughout their Olympic journey. From constant failures in ice skating and ski slopes to chaotic snowball fights, their lack of coordination resulted in numerous broken bones and even injuries. The inclusion of questionable events like snowball fights raises eyebrows, as it doesn't seem to fit the spirit of the Olympic Games.

Additionally, the financial troubles faced by Team Weezer, particularly Yoshi's incarceration for tax evasion, paint a bleak picture for Rivers' crew. The team's excessive spending and resulting debt on useless items from the in-game shop showcase their inability to manage resources responsibly.

The emotional toll of these failures has had a lasting impact on team members Wario and Eggman. Wario's descent into alcoholism and continuous nightmarish flashbacks from the snowboarding event highlight the detrimental effects of their experiences. Meanwhile, Eggman's homelessness due to unpaid hospital bills further emphasizes the negative consequences of their misadventures.

Furthermore, the untimely death of Shadow and his continued presence as dead weight during the bobsledding event is a grim reminder of the team's unfortunate destiny.

Considering the numerous setbacks faced by Team Weezer, it is evident that their Olympic journey was fraught with hardship and disappointment. While Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games presents a wide range of events and characters, it is disheartening to see poor execution and a lack of success for a team with so much promise.

Final Thoughts:
Despite the game offering a wide array of events and characters, the unfortunate experience of Team Weezer significantly impacts the overall entertainment value. It is difficult to recommend this game to players looking for a seamless and enjoyable Olympic experience.

Score: 3/10

Mario Sports Mix, a mathematical enigma that, for some players, seems to have a contentious relationship with basic arithmetic. There's a larger level of confusion and/or frustration to be had in Mario Sports Mix, stemming from challenges in comprehending the game's mechanics, especially in the context of basketball. It's an intriguing twist that adds a layer of complexity to the overall gaming experience.

Score: 4/10
Melty Blood Actress Again
Melty Blood Actress Again
Melty Blood Actress Again, my friend, is a game that demands your attention in the fighting game realm. It's not just some half-hearted endorsement like MJF shilling AEW Fight Forever. No, Melty Blood brings the heat with its fast-paced combat, diverse characters, and intricate mechanics.

Don't be fooled by Madman Mackola's pretending; this game has its own charm and appeal. The forced smiles and contractual obligations don't apply here. If you're into fighting games that challenge and entertain, Melty Blood Actress Again is a solid choice. Give it a shot and let the combat do the talking.

Score: 9/10
