This is actually a really fun game. It feels like I'm playing 4 episodes of the show. The characters were written perfect, and voiced by the actors from the show, the story is fun, and definitely reflects the show itself. My only complaint: the plant stickers. I never want to do that again. Otherwise, great game, and my 3 year old watched me for all 3 hours it took to complete it, without hardly looking away.
There's nothing about this game that is spectacular, but it is solid. The graphics are beautiful, and most of the puzzles are simple, but a couple did stump me for a bit. The story is decent, with some pretty good narration. If you enjoy puzzles games that are in tthe shorter side, I do recommend it, especially when it's on sale again.
The only tthings that hold it back (at least on the Switch version) is the random drop in frame rate, which doesn't effect gameplay, it's just annoying, and the finickiness of getting out of the boat.
Overall, this is a fun little game that I picked up on sale for $3. I can't say it's worth the $15 price tag, but if you ever find it on sale for $10 or less, I definitely recommend picking it up.
I currently have about 17 hours in this game, and it is fantastic. They took everything that made the first one great, and made it even better. The few changes to how combat works, including the ability to speed up the battle, latent abilities, and more improve combat. Characters now have a day and night skill that can be used on NPCs, and the stories are much more gripping. I HIGHLY recommend grabbing this if you like RPGs.
For many, many years, there has been one GREAT Kart racing game/series, and that was Mario Kart. Now, we potentially have a second one in Disney Speedstorm.
This is a free to play game, that is actually a lot of fun. It has a great cast of characters, the driving is very smooth, the controls are responsive and the music is FANTASTIC. What each power does, is not as obvious as MK, but that's okay.
The only real downside, is it plays like a free to play game. Elements of it remind me of Asphalt Legends 9 (a fun racing mobile game,) because you have to use items to level up your character to make them faster, it has drop boxes, and each race in the "story mode" has 3 quests to complete.
All in all, this is a really good game, and it's up to Disney to make it great. The potential is definitely there.
A truly great mobile game, it's simplistic gameplay works great as you swipe your way through various levels, it's challenging, yet still fun. It also has an Arcade mode, where you go for a high score!
Honestly, this game is not terrible. It's obviously a free Fall Guys clone, meant for mobile. It's fun, the levels are challenging, and you get into matches faster.
Where it falls short of Fall Guys: it doesn't have the same charm and the mobile controls can be a little wonky.
It's honestly a fun mobile game, that can be frustrating.
One of my childhood games. I remember playing it a lot, only getting to thr 2nd level, but having a good time with it. I'll definitely be streaming it on "Trash's Past Treasures" one of these days.
The open world concept is really fun. The new Pokémon designs are good, the names are punny and it's ultimately a breath of fresh air. The only reason it does not get 5 stats, is because of the level scaling, it felt very awkward, and the occasional glitches. Beyond that, they're fun games.
It's a sleep app that features Pokémon. I used it during my nap earlier, and it seemed to record my sleep somewhat accurately. Although it did say I slept for 7 minutes, instead of the 2 hours I actually slept, it still recorded my entire sleep. It's a little janky, definitely needs some updating, considering how slow it is at first, and the tutorial, both pre sleep and post sleep, is so long. It's a sleep app, I'll keep using it for a few days at least.
Pokémon Showdown is a really fun battling website/app. You can build and use whatever team you want, in any gen, and it automatically abides by those rules. It also follows Smogons battle rules, which forces you to look at battles differently, and is a blast. Pokémon Showdown will also be the first event for The Pokémon Center, the all new Pokémon club, which can be found here: https://channel3.gg/thepokecenter
This has quickly become one of my favorite mobile games. It's a lot of short races, and you get different equipment to help you go faster, with some limitations on the equipment (how long they last and how many times they can be used in a race.) You also upgrade your characters base stats. It's most definitely a fun little time killer that I highly recommend.
Honestly, I only played the first level, and skipped the intro, but it's Grimace, on a skateboard, and apparently it's his birthday. It's actually a very good looking game with very basic gameplay, 2 difficulty modes: easy has autogrind, hard does not. I'm most likely gonna stream this just for fun, and it does not seem like a game that's gonna be mind blowing, nor mind numbing. So, 3 stars for now.
So far, it's a 5 star game. I have played it nonstop for the last 6 hours (since i got hime with it at 11:30 cst last night)... eventually I'll go to bed. Anyway, they took what made Breath of The Wild so much fun, a has made it better. There seems to be more focus on puzzles this time around, and the game feels more difficult.
It's a fine little game. Yes, there's an ad after almost every run, but they're usually skipable after about 5 seconds, plus airplane mode is a thing. This game is easy to pick up, play a few rounds, then move on to something else.
A fun little game, similar to Donkey King 64, or Banjo Kazooie. There's lots of things to collect, some easy enemies to kill and some goofy characters. It's an easy game, that anyone can enjoy, and would be great for the little gamers in our lives.
I've just started playing this the other day, and so far, it's fun. It's a nice little JRPG that is very reminiscent of older Final Fantasy games. The dialogue is a bit lackluster, as are the graphics, but beyond that, this is a fun game that I recommend checking out.
If you like hack n slash games, and if you like Deadpool, then you'll love this game. Sadly, Ryan Reynolds is not the voice actor, but that doesn't change humorous this game is.
Only 5 hours into this game. The story is okay, the graphics are beautiful, and the combat is okay. It's essentially JRPG meets ARPG in the worst way possible. I'll update this as I play more of the game.
They managed to take the gameplay for the first one on N64, smoothed it out, and made it better, on a less superior console. The simplistic gameplay worked very well mon both the GBC and 3DS eshop.
It's most likely my nostalgia for this game that gives it 5 stars, but I remember this being my most played racing game as a kid. I think there were 5 tracks, the controls weren't great, but I loved every minute of it.
It's Trivia. The questions are usually interesting and it makes you think. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars, is because there's too many options on screen, which bothers me, and playing on mobile, it can be hard to read all of the titles quick enough, which usually leads to me randomly clicking on things.
This is the closest thing that we have gotten to a perfect Pokemon game. The world was fun to explore, the story was great, catching Pokemon became more fun, it's just an all around great game.
I remember having to use different proxies to get around the blocks my high school had on this game and website. I think I played this almost everyday in my computer class, such a classic that I wish they'd put on the Google Play store, or at least release on the Switch.
I remember watching Shadypenguinn play this on YouTube, and I really wanted to play it, despite not having a computer that can run anything. When it finally came to Switch, and I got to play it, I was excited. This is a fun, cute little game, where you just run around, collect things, and battle the occasional boss. Definitely a great game for anyone of any age.
"The End of Nigh" is a fun, dark, little game, that is very similar to other games like Super Meat Boy, Celeste, and VVVVV. Very tight and tough platforming, that has you dying a lot, but with very quick respawns. This game creates an awesome twist in the 2nd half, that you don't see coming, all i can say, is if you play this game, try to collect everything. You'll thank me later.
I went back and forth on whether or not to give this 4 or 5 stars. 4.5 is my honest answer. The game is beautiful, runs smoothly, and is very fun. My only complaints so far is the camera angle gets in your way sometimes, it can be a bit confusing as to what you need to do, when the world first opens up, and Sonic's voice. His voice sounds too much like Knuckles for me. Otherwise, so far its a great game. (This review is based off of 3 hours of gameplay and on Xbox One)
Okay, this game is a lot more fun than I expected it to be. Games are fast, 6 turns each, and i describe it as playing on 3 boards at once, and constantly has you thinking. I highly recommend this free download.
This game makes fun of basically everything in the NFL, and I'm here for it. Smooth gameplay, funny player names (Drak Bloodclot, Bomb Shady), team names (Killadelphia Evils, Malice Hellboys), stadiums (HEL&L Stadium, instead of AT&T) etc. They held nothing back in this game. At the time of writing, the Dynasty Mode is on sale on Xbox for $7 and change. Go pick it up and check it out.
I had an Atari collection for my Windows 98 computer, and I played the heck out of this and Missle Command. A game that I feel doesn't get enough recognition and is really fun, despite not fully understanding what is actually going on. Lol
I don't know what to say about this game now that I've finally beaten it except, bring number 2 to the Xbox One already. This was a great game, and I recommend it to anyone who loves Metroidvanias.
The only kart racer, other than Mario, that is actually lots of fun. I played the heck out of this as a kid, and I've played the heck out of the remake.
Not at all a bad game, it was just unique and different. It still held true to it's Zelda roots, with a relatively open world, and you could go wherever, whenever. It added some RPG elements, and side scrolling.
Talk about a game that I feel like I'm missing out on, just because I can't get into it. The open-endedness of it is amazing, but I just got too bored with it too quick. In my opinion, it's too open-ended. But it's fun for about 5 hours.
I'm not sure how I can't give this game 5 stars. It's very simple, and does simple well. The story is funny, and it can be beaten in 1 sitting, I think it only took me 2 hours to beat. It's free on Gamepass if you wanna check it out, which I do recommend.
This is one of those games I played a lot as a kid but never beat. Basically, you just drive a tank, destroy other tanks, and win. Fun concept, and I wanna give it 5 stars, but that might be nostalgia talking, so I'm just giving it a 4.
It's fun, it's quirky, it's short, it's a blast (sometimes literally), it may also trigger some frustration with the fact that you might waste an entire weapons ammo because the game doesn't wanna recognize that you hit a spider (seemingly worse towards the end of the game). Other than that, it's free on Gamepass
This game is the definition of "git gud". A hard as nails platformer with a very nice graphical style. I recommend everyone play it, but I don't recommend everyone try to beat it, for your own sanity's sake.
If any Star Wars game deserves a re-release, it's this one. The flying mechanics were fun, the combat was fun, the cheat codes gave some awesome ships, I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes Star Wars, and flying games.
Definitely my least favorite mainline Pokemon games to date. The graphics were cool, and some of my favorite Pokemon designs came from these games, but beyond that, they had nothing for me. I couldn't get down with the story, I wasn't interested in any of the characters, the ending was atrocious (never beat them, but I've watched Nuzlockes).
These are the Pokemon games that got me back into Pokemon. Gen 4 I found kind of boring, beat them once, never went back. Then gen 5, to this day, remains the only mainline Pokemon games that I have not beaten, and turned me off of the series. I then decided to give it another chance with X and Y, and fell right back in love with the series. They felt like gens 1 through 3 again, with the addition of the awesome Mega Evolutions.
The most underrated games in the series. S/M and US/UM changed the typical recipe and presented island challenges... Which is basically gym battles with a different name. Mega Evolutions were back, and we added Z moves, which were also cool. US/UM added some things to the S/M story, added locations, and made hunting legendaries and shiniest fun.
I remember I spent a straight hour just staring at the screen as a kid, trying to figure out what each number meant.... Then it finally clicked. No longer was I just blindly clicking boxes, instead I was strategizing, and it's from that moment, I fell in love with Minesweeper. A classic game, that is lot's of fun once you figure out how to play.
My favorite NASCAR game. With the exception of "Dirt to Daytona" this was the first time you could do a career mode and work your way up. You start in the modified cars, then work up to the Cup series. The fantasy tracks are fun, the controls and visuals still hold up pretty decent today.
This game is not near as bad as the reviews I've read. This game has been updated multiple times since it's release and is a lot better than it was at launch. But, where the game lacks, it lacks hard. There's not really anything you can do when it comes to setting up your car before the race, so I just find myself making it as loose as I can and that'll get me until the first pitstop, where I can do some more tweaking. The cars feel tanky, and there's times the game doesn't wanna recognize that I'm trying to turn left (It's NASCAR, you have to turn left). The "Champion's Pack" DLC left a lot to be desired as well. Yes, it's nice to play as Matt Kenseth, Bill Elliott, Bobby Labonte and Darrell Waltrip, but the fact that they didn't include guys like Earnhardt, Gordon, Terry Labonte and Dale Jarrett is a big let down. All in all, it's not a bad game if you don't take it seriously (which it shouldn't be, this isn't sim racing) and has plenty of fun to offer if you just wanna play with updated (2021) drivers and tracks.
YS Origin is spectacular. It's a top down "dungeon crawler" ARPG style game, with 2 playable characters, and one additional that you can unlock (all 3 have their own story arc) The setting is easy to understand, the stories are straight forward, and the game play is just a blast. I cannot recommend this game enough.
YS IX is a solid game. The gameplay and visials are very similar to 8, my personal favorite game. But where this one lacks in comparison is the story. No, the story for YS VIII isn't nothing spectacular, but the story of IX just isn't quite as gripping and the lack of multiple endings doesn't help it none either. YS IX is still a solid ARPG that I would recommend playing.
I might be biased as I love Pokemon and I love puzzle games. Combine these 2 things, and you get a 5 star rating from me. Plus it's just a fun, easy to pick up game.
This is a great game that takes the original Sonic elements, gameplay, and levels, and breathes new life into them. If you're a fan of the original Sonic trilogy, then you'll love this game.
This game is absolutely amazing, and as of 0421 on 15Jul2022, is the first game I beat on Twitch. The combat in this game is fluid, lot's of customizable options (as it comes with the DLC packs), the story is top notch and the visuals are gorgeous. If it wasn't for 1 thing, which I won't spoil, I'd give it 5 stars. I definitely recommend any RPG fan to play it.
It's a HUGE shame that this game was discontinued, as it's probably the best battle royal game that I've ever played. It just has you, playing through levels of the original Super Mario game, and every enemy you destroy gets sent to another player (like wise, enemies could be sent to you). It was. Ot uncommon to have to fight through 20 Bowsers to finish a level, and it was so much fun.
This game kind of feels like a Star Wars version of F-Zero. It is a fun racing game that feels fast. I had it on my N64 as a kid but never beat it. I bought it on my Switch and fell in love with it all over again, and actually did beat it.
This was the first ever "Tales" game that I played and started my love for the series. It's a fun ARPG with JRPG elements, with a cartoon like appearance, but some beautiful anime style cut scenes. The biggest thing holding it back is the basic combat (much improved in "Tales of Arise"). Beyond that though, this game provides a good time.
Do you like cats? Do you like cat puns? Do you like RPGs? If you answered "yes" to all 3, then this is the game for you. A fun little RPG that isn't overly complicated, and is a good time to just chill with.
This is still my all time favorite Pokemon game. Yes, the level curve is extremely awkward and the Johto portion of gen 2 is relatively short, but Johto is still a fun region to explore. There isn't a single gen 2 Pokemon design that I don't like, and it has the best starters in the series (including my all time favorite Pokemon, Cyndaquil.)
This is an amazing hack and slash style game. The main story is just kind of....Meh, but, the fun happens whenever you start getting into "History Mode". This mode takes you through snippets of older FE games, and you unlock the rest of the characters this way. I've put in at least 200 hours into this game and it's still fun. The 3DS version isn't as smooth as the Switch version, so if you're going to play this game, play it on the Switch.
There isn't anything that I don't love about this game, and I thought it was the perfect reboot for Lara Croft. The combat is smooth, the controls are smooth, the graphics are great, the death scenes are awesome, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this game.
Final Fantasy XIII is my favorite FF game. I do understand people's concerns about it being too linear, but, once you get through about the first 70% of this game, it opens up big time, and there is LOTS to do. On top of that, the story is fun, I loved all of the characters, and the battle system is one of the best in the series.
A very underrated Mario game in my opinion. Although it's not the original Super Mario Bros. 2, but instead a reskin of another game called Toki Tori, (the original Mario 2 was released as "The Lost Levels") this is still a really fun game. It was the first time you could play as Peach or Toad, and each character had a different play style. Definitely worth a look if you've never played it.
This game is an absolute classic for the GCN, and is one of the few FPS styled games that I actually enjoy. The atmosphere is amazing, the graphics still hold up really well today. Here's to hoping the rumors of a Switch port become a reality one day.
Shovel Knight is a true love letter to the past. With gameplay similar to Legend of Zelda 2, and platforming similar to Mega Man, this game is an absolute gem. It features 4 campaign modes, Shovel Knight, Spector Knight, Plague Knight, and King Knight, all 4 of which tie in together to give you multiple perspectives of the story. This game is a must play if you live platformers.
This is a game that definitely forces you to "git gud". It's tough as nails platforming may not be for everyone, due to how much you'll die, but the game makes up for all those deaths by making respawning really quick. The more you play, the more you learn with this one. The controls are very responsive and fluid, and it's an all around great platformer.
If you liked the original Pokemon Snap on N64, you're going to love New Pokemon Snap. It captures the original feel and magic of the original and then just expands upon that. This type of game isn't going to be for everyone, but it's definitely worth a look if you or your kids want to take and edit pictures of Pokemon.
This game is absolutely amazing start to finish. Beautiful graphics, fun combat, and boasts some very lovable characters. Only minimal grinding is necessary on normal mode, and hard and insane modes are also available if you want a good challenge. It is available on most platforms (Switch, PS4, PS Vita, and Steam), and is a must buy for any ARPG fan.
