Donkey Kong 64 was one of my favorite games growing up. Sure, it was very bloated and tedious with all the collectibles and the five playable characters that weren’t always convenient to swap between. Nevertheless, my duckling self still got a lot of fun out of this clunky, yet charming, platformer. I already ranked the…

Top 5: Favorite Point-and-Click Games
One way to look at point-and-click games is that they’ve become a lesser genre since they hit big in the 1990s. Another way to look at them is that, in modern gaming, they’ve evolved into and combined with different genres, from adventure and puzzle games, to “find and search” experiences and walking simulators. I’ve long…
DK64 World Ranking: The Best and Worst Places to Monkey Around
Donkey Kong’s venture into the 3D platforming space was a mixed bag, to be honest. Starring five Kongs, each with their own collectibles, the game could be quite tedious at times, even by collectathon standards. Plus, it was often far too silly for its own good. (The combination of copious amounts of burping sure to…
Ranking as Many Kingdom Hearts Games as I Can Keep Up With
In recent months, I’ve been replaying most of the Kingdom Hearts games thanks to a handy collection I have on the PS4. In case you’re not familiar, this is a Final Fantasy and Disney crossover RPG created by Square Enix. The series is known for some complex lore and an emphasis on friendship and the…
Ranking the Worlds of Banjo-Tooie
I’ve already ranked the wonderful worlds of Banjo-Kazooie, so now it’s time to discuss the much larger worlds of the sequel, Banjo-Tooie. When placing these worlds in order of my least to most favorite, my criteria was largely based on how fun the levels are and how well they’re themed, though I will also be…
Silksong (Act 2) Bosses Ranked by Difficulty
I’ve already discussed the act 1 bosses of the super difficult Metroidvania, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and today, I’ll be ranking those found in act 2. While technically tougher, I often found these bosses to be less of a problem simply because the game is more open in act 2, allowing for more freedom to obtain…
Silksong (Act 1) Bosses Ranked by Difficulty
Silksong is the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight. Both are Metroidvanias where you play as a bug. And both are very difficult. Considering this game has a heck of a lot of bosses, I’ll be breaking them down by act. While the act 1 bosses are, technically, easier, they sometimes felt more…
Ranking the Banjo-Kazooie Mumbo Transformations
After my most recent playthrough of one of my favorite games of all time, Banjo-Kazooie, I thought it would be fun to do a handful of ranking posts. I’ve already ranked all of the game’s 9 delightful worlds, and now I’d like to rank all of the transformations. Although Mumbo’s magic in Banjo-Kazooie isn’t quite…
An Overdue Banjo-Kazooie World Ranking
With my Nintendo 64 currently packed up, I finally decided to give in and purchase that Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Online so I could revisit some of my all-time favorite games. We’ve actually discussed the Banjo-Kazooie franchise many times over the years, but I can’t believe I never ranked these sprawling and colorful worlds…
Top 10 Most Aggravating Levels from Donkey Kong Country 3
Being my least favorite Donkey Kong Country game in the original trilogy, I could still admit in my previous list that this game has plenty of fun and memorable levels. It also has plenty of evil ones that I despise to varying degrees of white-hot hatred. Whether it’s dealing with a level that doesn’t even…
