To this day, I will claim that LEGO Racers was my idea whenever it comes up. It was 1997, Mario Kart 64 had just come out and I was obsessed with LEGO. So I conceptualized a LEGO racing game. I drew the karts, the characters, everything. Back in the day, you could call the Nintendo Power Hotline and talk to a person for like tips, or just any random nonsense. So what did I do? I called them. I called them and spoke to a Nintendo Power Hotline agent for like 20 minutes about my game idea. Bless that woman for entertaining the ravings of a 7-year-old. 2 years later, LEGO Racers comes out. Coincidence??? Yeah probably but whatever. This game was my idea.

I don't care that it's December 27th, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is my game of the year, damn it. A gorgeous art style and fluid gameplay in multiple styles taking heavy inspiration from Jet Set Radio, and incredible collectible graffiti and music. Every part of this game was amazing and I wish it didn't end for that was my only problem with it

Overall, CARRION is...fine? It's a pretty game with some cool ideas, but it doesn't really deliver any interesting gameplay. The combat specifically feels really simple, and any challenge the game throws at you is either tedious or frustrating. It only took me five hours to 100%, so I can't complain too much.

If you really like the idea, and it's on sale, I'd recommend snagging it. But you're not missing much if you pass on this game.

While it's a valuable game for historical purposes and innovative for its time, out of the 3 Warcraft RTS games, this ones has aged the least gracefully.
Only being able to control 4 units feels incredibly limiting.
Orcs and Humans being the same in everything but names, models and sounds basically makes every game a mirror match, which eventually gets pretty boring. Pathfinding also felt pretty bad.
On the positive side, the mission briefings are cool. And the graphics have their charm.

It is amazing to see how Warcraft evolved through time. This game isn't so great, but for me as a big Warcraft fan it was great to play.
