R.C. Pro-Am
The game doesn't offer too much, the controls can be a little hectic but it does feel enjoyable to master them. I wish the tracks had more complex designs though, and I was disappointed that the sprites of the cars in-game looked nothing like they did on the box art. I was really hoping they would look more like Formula 1 cars.

Tabletop Simulator
It feels weird to review this because everyone's experience with Tabletop Simulator (TTS) is different. Instead, I'll review it as a combination of my own experiences playing the game and how good it actually is at simulating tabletop games.
This game has a special place in my heart because I played it a lot during the pandemic - when my college had to shut down in 2020, my friends and I had to migrate to using this simulator instead of meeting up for our usual board game nights, and man did I have a fun time. Not only did we play our usual favorites like Villainous, but TTS introduced us to many new games that we ended up enjoying, like The Red Dragon Inn.
TTS was our saving grace at the time; board game nights on the simulator felt like board game nights in-person and helped us keep in touch over those rough months of the pandemic. We did have a couple mishaps at first trying to adapt and learn the game's controls, but overall we had a wonderful time. Also, TTS's library is endless, there are so many board games to that have been integrated into the library, so I still find myself returning to it to play more games.
I will say, however, that the game is mainly enjoyable playing with people you know. Of course, you can try matchmaking with anyone via online lobbies or Discord groups dedicated to playing TTS board games, but I've had a mixed experience with this: most of the people I've played games this way were cool, but there are still a couple bad apples here and there. The game's in-game lobby is also pretty toxic and I personally think the game would be better off without it.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection
What is it with Battlefront players and our horrible luck?
First, we had the 2015 game, which was released with very little content and terrible balancing. We then got the 2017 game, which had extremely overpriced heroes that it was practically pay-to-play.
Now, we have a re-release of the classic games, but this time with multiple bugs and terrible servers.
I'll end this review on an optimistic note at least: history shows that Battlefront games are always able to redeem themselves and get better over time, as we saw with the 2015 and 2017 games. Hopefully this will be the case for the re-release, otherwise I will continue giving it this negative review.
