Wife’s Reaction:
“It’s just a whole lot of shing shing thunk blarg blerch bleeeeh ya know?”

A Hell of a Time Sink:
Diablo excels at being a game that you don’t have to think too much while playing. You want to stay focused so things don’t get out of hand with all the enemies, but it’s really just a good reason to squad up with friends and dick around while slaying hordes of demons.

Wife’s Reaction:
“I’m not giving you a comment for a game I didn’t watch. Not doing it.”

Come Hell or High Water:
Another DLC for Final Fantasy XVI filled with incredible boss fights but lacking in overall content in its story scenario. Tonberries and a timekeeper and Leviathan the Lost all will keep this memorable. And even if the story is light, the Kairos Gate challenge areas should keep me busy for quite a while.

Wife’s Reaction:
“Did you have fun?You sure swore a lot.”

There’s Sand in my Metroidvania:
You’re often retreading ground in Metroidvanias, and never has the traversal been as fun as it is in the Lost Crown. Finally, we have a new Prince of Persia and it’s a “video game” game. Mount Qaf, the game’s setting, is massive with plenty of intense challenges and secrets for engaged players.
