Crumble (2020) - Video Game Review

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061180/Crumble/ Itch.io: https://brute-force.itch.io/crumble PCGamingWiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crumble So close, yet so far… This is a great momentum platformer… for the first world. The best world is the one that doesn’t happen in the sky but in a forest… which is the first one… literally the tutorial world. Then it decides to put you in the sky and to become a hardcore platformer with momentum mechanics… and the quality just nosedives completely until it crashes. ...

Shantae - Half-Genie Hero (2016) - Video Game Review

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/764300/Shantae_HalfGenie_Hero_Ultimate_Edition/ GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/shantae_halfgenie_hero_ultimate_edition PCGamingWiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Shantae%3A_Half-Genie_Hero Technical: This is an absolute dogshit PC port: 1- The game runs at 30 (or 32?) FPS + half-speed by default, editing the config file to make the game use VSync is required to get more… except if your screen refresh rate is higher than 60, the game will run faster (so you have to lock it to 60 FPS with other tools). If the game runs at lower than 60 (including the default 30 or 58 when it dips) it will stutter. ...

Webbed (2021) - Video Game Review

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390350/Webbed/ GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/webbed PCGamingWiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Webbed A good-looking bad game. The movement feels REALLY good, but the level design clashes massively with it. The game is a PURE metroidvania, with backtracking and (at least from what I saw) no fast travel. The map is highly unclear as to where you are, your objectives are vague “go do that near here”. Making webs, the way they interact with the world and “swinging” with them is great (the controls to make them are serviceable but far from great)The swinging mechanic feels nice. ...

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) - Movie Review

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0440963 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/the-bourne-ultimatum-2007 Pro-CIA propaganda piece This movie takes the Bourne movie series, a movie series about a CIA assassin abused by the CIA, CIA which ended up wanting to kill him… and turns it into a pro-CIA propaganda piece. The story gets effectively concluded by the writers saying that in the end, the problem was just some bad apple, but don’t worry, they’ll get arrested and pay for the bad they did because congress really thinks having a secret assassin program is bad. ...

Suicide Squad (2016) - Movie Review

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386697 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/suicide-squad-2016 Margot Robbie is the only good part of this movie The only good thing I got from this movie is that it made me enjoy the physique of Margot Robbie, that I usually find bland/don’t really like. Margot Robbie is also the only one actually trying in this movie, so much so that I kept thinking “this movie doesn’t deserve this”. Other than that, it was junk with a really bad plot that didn’t make any sense (the movie’s “bad guy” started as a “proof” a Suicide Squad was possible and “efficient”, but the good guys lost control of her which turned her in to the “bad guy” - and the way I’m explaining it makes more sense than the way the movie does it) ...
