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…
Ranking the Worlds of KH: Birth By Sleep
As I continue my Kingdom Hearts marathon, my next stop was Birth by Sleep, a prequel that was originally released for the PSP, but which eventually came to consoles. Each of the three playable characters has their own story, during which you’ll be exploring different portions of the same worlds and experiencing different pieces of…
Top 10 Levels from Donkey Kong Country 3
I’ll be honest, the third Donkey Kong Country isn’t exactly my favorite. It’s a bit too cutesy, a bit too gimmicky, and…Kiddy exists. With that said, this is still a pretty fun game if you don’t compare it to its predecessors. As I recently replayed it for the purposes of research, I accumulated a nice,…
The Duck’s 2026 Gaming To-Do List
Last week, I wrote about how and why I didn’t play any games released in 2025. And yet, as we begin 2026, it appears the trend will likely stay the same. But I’ve still got plenty of games, or at the very least, general categories of games that I’d like to play during the upcoming…

Now that 2025 is over and the reflections on its best games are done, the time has finally come to look ahead to what’s coming down the pike this year. I’m not yet sure how 2026 will stack up against the past couple of years, but it’s definitely got potential. There’s a ton that I…
