As you can no doubt tell, I’m in a big Kingdom Hearts mood, which means I’m ending my Listmas posts with yet another KH list! Today, I’ll be ranking the boss battles from the first game, ranging from the absolute worst to the most fun. Pretty simple, right? Except, since there are so many bosses,…

Listmas 2025: Ranking KH2.5’s Data Battles
Keeping with the Kingdom Hearts theme, I have been playing the Final Mix versions of the first two numbered games in the series, which features new boss fights, including battles against the members of Organization XIII who had originally appeared (and perished) in Chain of Memories. This is great because I never enjoyed CoM’s card-based…
Listmas 2025: Kingdom Hearts 2 World Ranking
Last week, I wrote a world ranking about the very first Kingdom Hearts game, and now it’s time to cover its even more impressive sequel, the aptly named Kingdom Hearts 2. This game has some really good worlds…and some really dull ones. I’ll be ranking these based off of everything, the general theming, the story,…
Listmas 2025: Kingdom Hearts World Ranking
One of my favorite game series of all time is Kingdom Hearts, a mashup of Disney and Final Fantasy that is surprisingly deep and works far better than you’d expect. With memorable characters and lore that rivals that of Five Nights at Freddy’s, the first two numbered games of the series in particular will always…
Spooktober: The Time Hogwarts Legacy Turned Into a Horror Movie
Hogwarts Legacy is a massive Harry Potter RPG that I played off and on for roughly a year, spanning 80+ hours. The world of Harry Potter is, undoubtedly, a spooky one indeed, with giant spiders (the acromantula is just the worst!), undead inferi, super sus dark magic, and lots of ghosts and poltergeists. To my…
Save Scumming is Every Gamer’s Right
For about as long as I can remember, I’ve heard that save scumming is something only lesser gamers do. I’ve heard that it’s tantamount to cheating, and that those who do it are robbing themselves of a genuine experience within whatever game they’re playing. In other words, the sentiment seemed to be that you just…
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a Nintendo Switch remake of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team where you explore randomly generated dungeons and rescue Pokemon. You are a human who has been transformed into a Pokemon somehow, and the game opens with a personality test that chooses which Pokemon…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Starts Off VERY Strong!
After hearing so much good buzz about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and checking out a little bit of gameplay for myself (to avoid spoilers), I finally decided to just jump in and see what exactly it is about the game that’s got so many people so excited. I’ve only had time enough to play through…
Play First, then Role Play
I think it’s time that I finally come clean over one of my most aggressive hang-ups when playing video games, specifically large-scale (open world or not), narrative RPGs (from Elder Scrolls to Fallout to Dragon Age, and everything in between). I frequently profess that my first go-round in any such game is less than stellar….
No Door is Safe from Me in Hogwarts Legacy
In recent months, I’ve been slowly working my way through Hogwarts Legacy. I got the game on sale on the Switch because, ironically enough, it has more hard drive space left than my PS4 does (taking into consideration the fact that Switch games tend to have far smaller file sizes). Ever since my parents bought…
