Cthulhu Saves Christmas  |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Deck the Halls with Tentacles
|
|
Cthulhu Saves Christmas is an old-school throw-back turned-based parody RPG done right. This games is a prequel to Cthulhu Saves the World. Once again, Cthulhu loses his powers and embarks on a quest to save Christmas in the hopes Santa Claus can give him his powers back as a gift. The narrative is hilariously twisted with remarks and comments from Cthulhu, combined with plenty of festive (or n... |

| The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
A Breath of Fresh Adventure
|
|
Breath of the Wild deviates from the traditional Zelda formula and storytelling. Set in the new expansive kingdom of Hyrule, Link awakens from a century-long slumber and needs to recover his memories and slowly discovers he needs to defeat the menacing Calamity Ganon and save Hyrule. The story unfolds gradually and non-linearly, allowing players to uncover the mysteries of the world at their own... |

| Assassin's Creed Odyssey |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
Tell me, O Muse, of the woman of many devices!
|
|
I have never played an Assassin’s Creed game, and do not have much experience with the IP. Over the years, I have heard many young gamers praise the games, recalling historical facts they learned about various periods of time. Yet, I never felt compelled to play any of the games. First of all I am generally weary of a giant sandbox games from too-large-for-their-own-good publishers like Ubisoft... |

| Final Fantasy VI |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Lessons Learned, Finally
|
|
Final Fantasy VI (released as Final Fantasy III for the SNES in North America) is regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time, especially by devoted fans and critics of the genre. I remember renting it in the 90s, but never finishing the game before its due date. Growing up, most of my exposure to video games came through the rental store, one weekend at a time, and rarely did my parents buy ... |

| Demon's Souls |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
Difficult, Frustrating, and also Rewarding
|
|
Demon's Souls is a remake of a game with the same name on PS3. It's a beautiful, difficult, and rewarding game that lacks when it comes to controls and explaining things.
I had never played a game in the "Souls" series before starting this so when I began I only knew a couple things. First, the series is pretty popular and second, that it's viewed as extremely difficult. By the time I finis... |

A Welcome Return to Metroid's Roots
|
|
A 2D Metroid platformer has finally returned to a console and it doesn't disappoint. Anyone who is a big fan of Super Metroid on the SNES should find time to give this a play.
Metroid Dread goes back to the roots of the series while also blending the updates to the weapons and game play implemented over the years to create a fun, engaging, and fairly challenging at times experience on the Swi... |

| Returnal |
Rating of: 4/5
|
A Beautiful Shooter with a Great Story
|
|
Returnal brings you in with an enticing premise and solid game play but will frustrate most with its rogue-like elements and punishing enemies meaning this game is probably not for everyone.
After obtaining a PS5 several months after its release, I wanted to play a game that you could only get for that system. I've always been a fan of the sci-fi genre and recently played through Dead Cells a... |
