One of the most beloved gems of the Nintendo 64 era is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a classic if there ever was one. While I’m not normally the biggest fan of boss fights, I always enjoyed the bigger foes of the Zelda series, as they never overstayed their welcome and often required…

Death’s Door: Reaping Souls in a Somber, Yet Strangely Humorous, World
Death’s Door is a challenging adventure game where you play as a crow reaper whose assignment goes awry. In the process, you’re tasked with hunting down three foes who have lived far beyond their years and collecting their souls in order to open the titular Death’s Door. Taking inspiration from retro 2D Zelda games, Death’s…
DK64 Boss Ranking: These Bosses Are Just Bananas
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…
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…
Unforgettable: Cogwork Dancers
As I slowly work my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself having a love/hate relationship with the game. There are lots of good moments, sure, but there are also plenty of very, very annoying ones that test my patience to the limits. I especially loathe every time I get stuck on yet another…
Ranking the Bosses from Donkey Kong Country 3
Donkey Kong Country 2 already had some perfectly memorable boss fights. But the third game’s penchant for gimmicks meant the bosses tended to vary even more in their mechanics, from a snowball fight with a nightmarish snowman to feeding bugs to a giant sentient barrel until he burps himself off the stage. Frankly, I found…
Ranking the Bosses from Donkey Kong Country 2
When you really think about it, the original Donkey Kong Country was fairly basic, especially when the bosses were concerned. I mean, there are two battles against a giant beaver that basically just jumps back and forth across the stage and two more skirmishes against an oversized vulture that somehow spits nuts at you. (Considering…
Hard Bosses vs Bad Bosses
With notoriously hard games such as Elden Ring or other soulsbornes, there are plenty of bosses that are infamous for being unfair or just straight-up bad. Defenders like to say that it’s just a matter of skill, and that those who are complaining just need to “git gud,” but I do think there’s actually a…
Ranking Cuphead Bosses: Easiest to Hardest
Since Cuphead‘s release in 2017, the game has become known for two major things, its 1930’s art style and high difficulty. Now that I, too, have suffered through the many challenging bosses of Cuphead, I thought it would be fun to rank all 19 from easiest to the ones that walloped me the most thoroughly. …
