Playing Games Wrong and Breaking the System

I’ve started playing games wrong, and I’ve got to say it’s feeling pretty right. This won’t be a new idea to some people, especially those who’re deep into achievements. But it’s something I recommend for everybody, if only to shake things up at a time when games aren’t spending much time rewriting the rules. The biggest games are so slick now. You barely have to play them. They put the maximum amount of energy into making everything look epic and…

Games Are Getting Too Damn Big

Death Stranding 2 has a photo mode that will influence the way the story plays out. It also has in-game concerts. The attention to detail is incredible. But come on Kojima, I have a life. Games are getting too damn big. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since March. It’s one of the best games of the generation and I don’t see that changing. But its need to completely dominate my free time is frustrating. I’ve enjoyed every single…

Overwatch and the Misery of Mismanagement

You don’t need an insider knowledge to know Overwatch has been mismanaged. It’s still nice to know it for definite. Jason Schreier’s new book on Blizzard goes into some detail on the inner workings of Overwatch. He shared a shorter version on Reddit. The further abridged version is that the team behind making Overwatch such a success were cautious in hiring new people in case it changed their company culture. They tried to feed the original Overwatch and make an…

EA FC 25 Review – Worth Getting for One Mode?

Over the past week, I have been doing a lot of two different things – playing EA FC 25 and reading previous reviews I’ve written for past soccer titles. And there is one constant across all the reviews I’ve written, at least for the last few years. And that constant is, if you are a hardcore fan of EA FC then purchase this year’s iteration; if you are a casual fan and you own last years game, just continue playing…

More Thoughts From Me: The Fantastic Metaphor Refantazio

When I reviewed Persona 5 Royal on the Switch, it blew me away and made me a fan of the series. Since then I’ve played Persona 4 on Switch and Persona 3 Reload on Xbox.

Let’s talk about it. Metaphor Refantazio comes out on…

Funko Fusion Frustration

I love Lego games. I love Funko POPs. When I saw Funko Fusion, a video game with POPs at the forefront, I had to play it. I was lucky enough to get a copy of it thanks to Games Reviews and Xbox. So what do I think of it? Here are my thoughts so far. Spoiler Warning! Funko Fusion is a game that takes different franchises: from Jurassic World, Hot Fuzz, He-man, Scott Pilgrim, Umbrella Academy, and more and fuses…
