Bio
Please note I rate games on a scale where one star means it was enjoyable with issues. Bad games don’t even get stars.

I play a lot of monster tamers and immersive sims.

Attack of the Friday Monsters is a short but sweet story of a 4th grade boy in a new town that takes place all in one day. The whole thing is like playing in a slice of life anime.

It’s a spin off of the my summer vacation series of games. No combat or gameplay really, just vibes and running around a Japanese town being a kid. Not my usual but it came highly recommended, and I can see why.

…Then a giant monster and aliens attack! And your dad might be a dry cleaning themed sentai hero? It becomes very surreal fantasy realism, and I think it’s about how kids view adult relationships.

It was fun and definitely worth the 3-4 hours!

A delightful fantasy adventure in a familiar world, link between worlds delivers both a phenomenal Zelda experience full of laugh out loud characters AND surprising twists from start to end.

This is the best 2D Zelda, and it’s clear that it was the last Zelda before Breath of the Wild. It’s both the true sequel to link to the past AND the playground for what they end up doing in botw. It’s fresh but classic. It revisits but innovated.

A close friend who practices occult magic keeps a list of media to recommend to people he works with in his studies. If I did the same, citizen sleeper would be on that list as required reading.

I never really understood the debate about what “art” is but I can say for certain this experience was art. I felt a well of emotions, but more than anything I felt represented. I felt like the struggles I’ve lived and seen were depicted with care and given a way that others can, in some form, experience them as well.

I’ve never seen a story so elegantly express what it’s life living with a chronic auto immune disorder. The game isn’t even about that, but just one element of the narrative it weaves.

It was a video game in name, but really I’d call it an honorary ttrpg. This is what I wish I could get others to feel when I run mothership or orbital blues.

This is, as far as I’m concerned, the best cyberpunk media to date, and it does it all by being about humanity more than anything else.

My only real criticism is that near the end there are many empty cycles, though that’s more on me forcing the game to give me more and rejecting several endings to get it. And I suppose a bit more music would have been nice, if I’m forced to say something critical.

If you like reading, play this book.
