Quarantine finally convinced me to play the Hotline Miami games after owning them for so long, and I decided to do my first series critique starting with the first game.
3D platformers had been around for quite a long time & the early years have gifted us with iconic titles like Banjo Kazooie & Super Mario 64, and although the modern era still has some collect-a-thons, there weren't any other games that truly captured the essence of the N64 days. However, Gears for Breakfast have attempted to re-ignite that same essence with their debut game, A Hat in Time! Without further ado, let's find out whether this Kickstarter project really paid off after 5 years of development!

Everyone knows Telltale, the studio that makes those licensed episodic adventures where you make your choices. But one of those games that I'll be looking back at today is The Wolf Among Us, a well-praised classic that is about to finally get a sequel sometime in the future. Is it as good as people remember back then? Only one way to find out!

This is news that have been going on since 2016, and it sorta happened last year. Blue Cat Cafe, a safe haven for stray cats to find families again, haven been attacked constantly by anti-gentrification protestants.

While Pandemic had a short life span from 1998 till 2009, they were still well-reputed for making some great games, and some of that reputation was earned from producing the Star Wars: Battlefront series, a loving homage to the Star Wars movies. But of course, this video is NOT about me adding more praise to them for making a Star Wars game, but rather JUST a game. Battlefront II (the 2005 one) has been around for around 13 years, so you might be wondering whether it has changed right now. This video will not only find out what happened after this long gap, but also why most people appreciated it as one of the greatest classic games ever.
