Setting aside my personal feelings about Red Dead Redemption II, the fact remains that Rockstar created a very different and very special game. While it doesn’t do everything perfectly game-wise, it contains some of the most incredible details I’ve ever encountered in a game. When small moments add up to something bigger and are able…

Listmas 2018: Top Games with Stylized Graphics
With video game graphics getting more and more realistic, the games that really stand out to me above all others are actually those with interesting and unique art styles.

Listmas 2018: Games I Didn’t Think I’d Like (But Did Anyway)
Most of time, I only buy games I’m pretty sure I’m going to like. Games aren’t cheap things after, neither in terms of money nor in time. If I’m going to invest in a game, I want to know that I’ll enjoy my time with it. That said, I wound up taking more than a…

Top 5: Metroidvania Games that I’ve Not Played but Should
Having recently immersed myself in Ori and the Blind Forest, it’s reminded me of how much I enjoy (and occasionally despise but still enjoy) metroidvania games. Of late, it’s been hard for me to turn away from action/shooter madness and open world adventures, but games of Metroid and Castlevania once ruled the roost. Various titles…
Crash Bandicoot 2: Top 4 Toughest Levels
I’ve made it through the second Crash Bandicoot game on the N. Sane Trilogy (and published the episodes on Youtube…). And seeing as this was yet another challenging platformer, it seemed fitting to create another list of the game’s most aggravating levels. As difficult as the first game was, I think getting 100% in Crash…
