This will forever be my favorite skateboarding game - I was always a fan of Bucky Lasek. This is the game that helped put skateboarding and skateboarding games on the map - it may be simple but we will forever remember the Warehouse.

I randomly saw this game on TikTok and it caught my attention. I'm always looking for a good Horror Game and especially one that incorporates a jolly-time like Christmas and New Years. This game is incredibly short with nicely timed jump scares and an eerie atmosphere - for a couple bucks it's a good play through.

This was the first SNES game I ever played and owned growing up so this game has a soft spot. Being a reboot of the arcade classic - this game delivers in fun and in difficulty - the music has NO RIGHT being as good as it is and is still a sound track MANY gamers recognize today.

There will never be a game quite like this game. An instant classic and a must play from the SNES era of gaming - this game delivers almost everything you want in an action-adventure game.

This is a fairly interesting addition to the Silent hill family. Its story is NOTHING like a Silent Hill game (except the faint crumbles of PT), but the story is captivating and may not speak to my generation - does speak to the younger generation. The final chase sequence is honestly what ruined a 4/5 star game for me.

Based off the hit movie Cliffhanger, staring Sylvester Stallone - this game oddly does a moderately ok job at following the movie. The graphics and music is nothing to be excited about and the controls are pretty bad, especially with hit boxes on enemies. Overall not an awful game - but... go play the SNES version.
Of the 3 Fisher-Price NES games, this is by far the worst of them. Go buy matching cards - that's more fun...
This is a game you play alone or with a friend, not with the computer. Again knowing this game was for a very young audience it's not terrible at trying to teach pattern recognition - but its slow-pace would never keep my attention at the intended age.
For what it is... a CHILDS video game that is Fisher Price, it's kind of fun. If you have the slightest imagination you can make some fun stories out of it.
Brand new take on the franchise, that fell short of awesome. The story tries to tie in from Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole - but the dialogue and game play falls well short of the goal with a tedious and boring combat system and repetitive voice lines - they should have stuck with what worked.

Overall the game is a pleasant change of pace compared to the last 3 recent titles in the Series. It definitely takes a step back with some feel of Assassin's Creed 1, in simplifying complicated or beyond needed systems like in Valhalla and Odyssey.
My biggest complaint of the game is the Combat System - I feel they took a lot of the 'fun' factor away when going into Open Combat into the game and heavily relied on the player to memorize attack/movement patterns and precision parrying. Expect to take a lot of damage or deaths in Open Combat in this game - potions are not plentiful.
They also removed some of the Quality of Life (QoL) aspects of the World Map, not being able to add travel markers on mission objectives and having to track missions in a completely different window is annoying and keeps much to be desired.
The story and non-combat game play was very well done and I think using this as a new catalyst for the path forward with the series is a good move - because the previous games were too big, this game felt like a great length with the perfect amount of exploring and collecting.

Starts off with a nice surprise. Expecting a full on DDR clone, actually has some Game Play too it. However the game does over stay it's welcome very quickly with constant interruptions during the levels

I had the privilege of playing this on an actual Game Boy Color - for what the game is, it's actually quite fun but the star of the show is the music. The music is absolutely AMAZING.

This game is interesting, but the controls are almost too responsive (if that makes sense). Understanding the momentum for moving can take a bit to understand and sometimes the background makes you think it's an obstacle which leads to a death.
Amazing Noir-Styled homebrew for the Game Boy.
