"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

#329 Blue Prince - incredibly creative game. First time in quite a while I've had to take notes while playing a game. Getting into room 46 the first time was euphoric. 9.5/10! The challenges for the platinum were miserable tho. Did not enjoy curse, dare, or 1 day modes.

This shit is the food equivalent of McDonald's introducing chicken nuggets with bones in them. I don't care how much money you saved, nobody wants this. Can't imagine someone who wants an English dub so badly they'd prefer this to subtitles, or just not watching at all.

#328 - Dispatch- I've never really gotten into the telltale games, they just never really clicked for me. But Dispatch fucking rules! I really loved the writing, the acting, the story. But I think what kept me hooked was the hero management stuff, that was super up my alley. Surprise banger, 9.25/10

#326 - Coffee Talk - Banger game with an easy platinum. Can't believe I'm only just getting to this game, it's great. As much as a good long twisty visual novel can ne, a short slice of life VN is a breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be grabbing the sequel and the Tokyo one when it's out 8.5/10

#324 - Knack - Some good ideas but an overall average game. Knack feels too squishy and weak for a lot of the game, and too slow when he's not. and the art style for humans and goblins is "clash of clans" - esque (deragatory). It's also way too long, and there's too much RNG for upgrades. 6/10

What my best friend really wants to tell me when I ask if he's played all the games he's bought on Steam in 2025:

#323 Super Robot Wars T - I had to make a Singaporean PS account to buy and download this lol. SRW is an SRPG series where you fight with mechs from different anime. I didn't like this one as much as X or V, but it was fine. Second playthrough was a slog though. 7/10

#322 - Call of duty modern warfare remastered - Cod4 and MW2 are the only call of duty games I ever really got into, so it feels good to get this one. But hot damn is this game blatant military propaganda lmfao. I remember being told the military funds Cod dev and going "no way" I can see it now lol

#321 - Luck be a landlord - very fun and very addicting slot machine roguelike where you can turn your landlord into soup 8/10

#320 Garfield Lasagna Party - needed a quicker platinum after ghost of yotei lol. Mini-games were actually pretty good design-wise, but the board game part needs work. And no voice acting, even efforts, made it feel eerily quiet. We need more Mario party competitors though!

#319 Ghost of Yotei - I think it's a solid game, and it gives you a lot of freedom in the beginning which is great! Wish you unlocked ghost stance earlier, and wish the platforming was a little quicker. Been a fan of @erikaishii.bsky.social for a while, and she killed it! Great casting for sure.

#318 Ball x Pit - super fun indie game that took me by surprise. They really came up with a satisfying variety when it comes to playing with your balls, I really enioyed it. 9/10 definitely pick it up if you wanna lose hours to a new roguelike

#317 Slime Rancher 2 - really really love the first game, and the second delivered on my expectations. I think I like them both about the same but for different reasons. 8.5/10

#316 Dishonored definitive edition - got the platinum in about 24 hours while the game was still fresh in my head from doing it on ps3. Really appreciate a solid stealth action game that doesn't get political. Just a story about good guys getting corrupted as soon as they got a tiny bit of power

#315 - XCOM Enemy Unknown - I love this series so much! Tactical Sci-fi RPG with base management are so many of my favorite buzzwords lol. Easily my favorite Strategy RPG series, above FF tactics and Fire Emblem. I'm gonna try to complete all 5 games (this is my 3rd) 9.25/10 (it's buggy)

#314 Dishonored - I had a grudge against this game for about 12 years because I failed the no kill trophy despite not killing anyone. Went back and finished the platinum in 2 days lol. Really great game honestly, I should finally play the second one. 8.5/10

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant. Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed. This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

#313 InFamous. I'm a pretty big fan of sucker punch between sly Cooper, infamous, and ghost of tsushima, but InFamous 1 fucking sucks. It has the brown and Grey aesthetic of the ps3 era, the mission design is more frustrating than fun, and unmarked collectibles suck ass. 6/10

#312 Bluey (again) - it was not better or worse the second time I played through it.

Ratchet and Clank Size Matters - the worst of the good ratchet and clank games. You can tell it's missing the sauce that the insomniac devs have, but it's honestly a pretty good effort from a small studio. And you can tell it was made by fans of the franchise. 7.5-8/10

#310 South Park the fractured but whole - This was definitely a downgrade from the first game in a lot of ways. I didn't find the abilities as interesting as the first game, and the 5 second cutscene for all puzzle abilities got really annoying by the end. 7/10

#309 Bluey The videogame - I've never watched an episode of Bluey, but this is free on ps+ and a 2 hour platinum dontjudgeme. I do genuinely think it's a functional game, and a good recommendation for kids.

I forgot to post games for a bit, #308 Death Stranding - I'm glad I finally played through this, it was a lot of fun with a surprisingly fun gameplay loop. You can definitely see how Kojima went from MGSV to this, with how many menus and text everywhere there is

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

Marvel trying to market the post-endgame avengers:

#307 Yakuza 0! This game got me into the series, and playing it again after playing them all is such a treat. It holds up incredibly well minus the saving, so I'm stoked to get into the definitive edition now.

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection #306 - The gameplay loop holds up surprisingly well. The campaign for the second game was ambitious, but kinda sucked. Overall both games are still a lot of fun. 8/10

Blessing reacts to the Sonic Revolution trailer! This looks INSANE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJN8...

I'm here for the Bioshock infinite dragging. I played it at launch and thought it was mediocre, I've never understood why it's so highly praised. Baby's first "what if the US was bad?" game.

youtube.com/shorts/JlH00... #304 Vampire Survivors - Such a simple concept, but super polished and designed incredibly well. Genuinely one of the best indie games out there. 9.5/10

Finished up Monster Train last night, now I can play the sequel without guilt lol. Monster train is an exceedingly good deck building roguelike. I would put it maybe second place to Slay the Spire. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking to jump right into something easy to pick up 8.75/10

I wanna start reviewing games as I finish them, mostly for a self-reference

PlayStation Platinum #302 Oblivion Remastered: The remaster is good, but Oblivion has some very aged gameplay loops. I wish 95% of missions didn't just send you to an identical small cave, or annoying ruins. Chameleon continues to be a super fun way to break the game tho 7.5/10 experience

Me when my cowboy boots keep getting stuck:

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.
