Funny Story: I joined a custom server to simply have fun and some people were using unfair advantages such as spawning level 3 turrets instantly as any class or jumping high in the air (bunny hopping as they called it). I asked them how I can get the same abilities and they told me I need to use server credits to unlock them.
How do you get server credits? Well by continuing to put hours onto the server according to them. Let that sink in, I need to continue playing against these fuckers with an unfair advantage till I can eventually get the same advantage? Here is a cool trick, how about I just switch servers instead.
I'm not the best at TF2 but this is a load of bs and a prime example of how pathetic this community has gotten. This is not the only example either, I can list a whole bunch of situations.
As much as I love the characters, world and style I hate to admit that Valve has left this game on the overheated back burner which makes me upset. Constant bots and hackers, lack of updates and the horrible community is the reason this game is starting to fade to dust.

It's cheating to do a review of a game you've never played but I am mostly saying this for Pokemon as a whole: I am not picking up another mainline title until I actually see some progress made with this franchise because all these games are starting to look the same.
Legends Arceus still has ways to go in terms of expanding the Pokemon formula and making it look up today's standards but I hope that they use this as a stepping stone towards a better future.

Within a short amount of time, Senator Armstrong became one of my favourite video game villains of all time.
I won't allow that to overshadow the rest of the game though because the characters in this game are entertaining af.
Did I forget to mention that the soundtrack kicks lots of ass too?

To anyone who manages to find this game and this review, I congratulate you for finding your way down to the depths of hell.
Why is this game so bad? Well not only does the characters move like morons (aka, towards the zombies), the game is legit unplayable without spending more money because the game likes to think you're psychic and make a zombie hit you before the camera has even fucking turned around for a millisecond.
Something like that gives me the impression this was designed to eat up your coins, and that doesn't fly with me.

Are enemies in this made of stone? Why tf does none of them flinch?
Maybe this kind of rail shooter isn't for me but jfc this game is pretty much impossible solo unless you're the fastest draw in the west.

It's kinda fun at first and satisfying if you pull off the right strategy but this game also legit relies on luck, and even if you beat the bs wave they throw at you the game just straight up admits "NOPE! We don't want you winning!!!"
Why is there so much trash in the arcade these days? What happened to just putting in a coin then having some quick fun for a short time?

(I speak for the Arcade version of this as that is where a majority of my time has been spent, the other two games will be reviewed at some point separately)
This is a prime example of what a rail shooter should be:
- Fast action whilst not being unfair. I will admit sometimes it attempts to catch you off guard but in comparison to rail shooter games nowadays, it's nothing.
- Enemies keep on coming instead of making you wait ten years like Time Crisis 5 does. TC5 also had a problem with too many cutscenes making the games pacing really weird but that's not the case here.
- A fully interactive environment. Since this game uses a fully automatic machine gun, you really feel like you are causing major destruction because almost everything in the surrounding area can be damaged/destroyed.
- Differing sections where you use a different weapon (E.g. Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher) to spice up the gameplay but not too gimmicky to the point where it's obnoxious.
- Not amazing but decent writing. Dialogue repeats sometimes which is annoying ("GOOD WORK ALPHA 1!!! YOU'RE LIKE A MACHINE ALPHA 2!!!!") but the characters are distinct and likable to enough keep you engaged. Time Crisis, and many other rail shooters as a matter of fact, aren't needed in the story department. All I am saying here is that the writing isn't cringe like Time Crisis 5.
- Oh yeah and the soundtrack SLAPS.

This was the mega OG and was a solid 7/10 until they decided to ruin it with an update that tries to get you to spend more money on sweet sweet micro transactions.
Hopefully when they bring this back to the app store, they will remove that stupid update that made it ten times worse.
If reviewing this before said update, it's Angry Birds what more do you expect? It was a prime example, when it came out, to what mobile games should be: simple, fun experiences instead of micro transaction traps.

An Angry Birds Star Wars game sounds like a pathetic cash grab but this one isn't that bad in all honesty.
Apart from a few infuriating levels, this is basically what you'd expect if an Angry Birds Star Wars adaption was actually decent.

The best Angry Birds game by a landslide, no other game comes close in my opinion.
I mean yeah they could have done something more interesting with Bomb, Terrence and the Blues instead of just keeping their same abilities considering how Chuck got some cool upgrades but the new gravity planet style more than makes up for it. The new icy bird is pretty poggers too.
The music in this one unironically slaps too? And the updates had actually effort put into them? I swear they didn't have to go so hard with the Mirror Worlds update to produce so many new levels but they did anyway. I could tell a lot of passion went into this despite it being a fucking Angry Birds game.
The bosses in this one are really fun to the point where I retry the levels a couple of times to see if I can beat them in different ways.
If you can pick this game up despite it being not available anymore then I'd fully recommend it.

Started off really amazing until they got really lazy with further updates. They tried to sum up Revenge of the Sith in TWENTY LEVELS!!!

I really wish they never gave up on Stella because I really liked the vibe and charm they were going for here, with fun gameplay to boot.
Fuck you Rovio for turning this into Angry Birds Pop then forgetting it ever existed.

Remember when Rovio fucked over Angry Birds Stella twice by slapping that name onto this generic bubble pop game, then deciding to remove the Stella name entirely?
I will never forgive this soulless garbage for adding cement over Stella's already deepened grave. Just what were you smoking Rovio?

Okay but out of all the games to get Thanos snapped, why was it this one that stayed?
2013
Still EWWWWWWWWWWW but I think people were a bit too harsh when this came out.
It sucks now because of the latest updates screwing over it like Rovio love to do so now I can officially say it sucks.
