#OverallThoughts
#OverallThoughts: Being the first proper sequel in almost 20 years, #MetroidDread tries to capture that same sense of uneasiness that Metroid Fusion had - &, to an extent, it does w/a solid story. Unfortunately, it stumbles along w/ inconsistent mechanics & long loading times.

#OverallThoughts: When putting aside a few inconsistencies (hit boxes, damage output) & hellacious RNG for a particular boss, #MetroidFusion is not only a remarkable addition to the franchise but also a top tier title for the GBA.

#OverallThoughts: Whether it's the graphics (for its time), music, story or pacing, Nintendo's #SuperMetroid truly is a magnificent entry in the franchise. The only downside are the frustrations with some mechanics (wall jump, Screw Attack) not always responding.

#OverallThoughts: When it comes to remakes, #MetroidZeroMission is up there as one of the best out there. The issues it has comes from the frustrations of a tiny hit box on a few bosses & getting stuck in death loops.

#OverallThoughts: Revelations was a great wrap up for Altaïr's story, & the 2011 animated short film #AssassinsCreedEmbers follows suit for Ezio in an equally heartbreaking manner.

#OverallThoughts: When you consider it as the game finale to the "Ezio Trilogy", #AssassinsCreedRevelations is a step above Brotherhood as it contains 2/3 of a really good story. That final third (the Desmond part), however, is an absolute dud.

#OverallThoughts: The original adaptation of #TheRunningMan definitely isn't a technically sound film. With that said, it remains a fun - albeit prophetic - watch with a plentiful amount of cheesy 80's action film goodness.

#OverallThoughts: Though the story for #AssassinsCreedBrotherhood is a fine enough continuation to Ezio's story, the game itself unravels the longer you play it thanks to issues w/the camera, controls, pacing & failing "full syncs" even though you completed them.

#OverallThoughts: Ubisoft's #AssassinsCreedII, for the most part, is a pretty solid start to the Ezio Trilogy. It does, however, falter when it comes to balancing the Ezio/Desmond stories, some dud missions & a horrendous camera.

#OverallThoughts: As the finale to his "Shin" trilogy, Hideaki Anno's #ShinKamenRider shares the same flaws as Shin Ultraman - rapid pace, weak VFX, shaky cam - but, ultimately, is a bloody love letter that captures the crazy of the old Kamen Rider episodes.

#OverallThoughts: As far as prequels go, the short film #AssassinsCreedLineage does a solid enough job setting up the events for Assassin's Creed 2. The biggest drawback, really, is that there are times it looks like an FMV (i.e. Ripper, 7th Guest).

#OverallThoughts: There's a good story idea behind #AssassinsCreedRogue, & reusing assets should have made it a lock. Unfortunately, the execution doesn't land because of repetitive dialogue & the frustration of the parkour/naval battles controls being worse than before.

#OverallThoughts: The #Aveline DLC is a short & sweet epilogue not only for Black Flag but also AC3 & Liberation. Aveline handles better than both Edward & Adé, but it is essentially a rescue/escort mission that gets a tad frustrating because of the craziness of the character's AI.

#OverallThoughts: The first DLC to Black Flag - #AssassinsCreedFreedomCry - is a solid add-on that sees Adéwalé liberating Slaves/Maroons of Saint-Domingue. The clunky controls carry over, & putting a set number on slaves liberated for upgrades hurts the impact.

#OverallThoughts: After revisiting the OG, #AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag still holds up as one of the best in the franchise. The graphics are dated after thirteen years, but the game's biggest drawback remains the clunky controls with the parkour & ship battles.

#OverallThoughts: Swiss Cheese writing that cause an insanely rushed pace, questionable camera work & use of weak CGI instead of suits & miniatures hurt an otherwise fun callback to the old Ultra shows.

#OverallThoughts: Though vibrant & featuring a few moments of brilliance, the latest #MastersoftheUniverse is bogged down by lackluster VFX, pacing issues & cringe worthy dialogue & humor.

#OverallThoughts: 2025's #RedSonja is a disservice to the character as it's an incredibly sloppy film thanks to audio issues, clunky writing, acting, VFX, cinematography and pacing.

#OverallThoughts: Much like the first, #AbsoluteFlashVol2 hits every beat that it needs to & feature some great artwork. However, much like the first, the pacing is still both a blessing & a curse as a lot feels left out.

#OverallThoughts: Though this volume of Lemire's re-imagining of The Scarlet Speedster feels like a lot is cut out as a result of its pacing (many won't like it), there's still enough to make this an enjoyable beginning.

#OverallThoughts: Project Hail Mary is a very well made film with a terrific performance from Gosling. Though there are brief moments of shaky cam & wonky VFX, the editing - though it does help w/the pacing - isn't my favourite. With that said, it's still a fantastic film.

#OverallThoughts: 9 Years of Shadows is a metriodvania that contains a strong story, pixel art style & music, but sees issues with unbalanced boss battles, a poorly designed healing mechanic & locking its fast travel behind a "pay wall".

#OverallThoughts: Old Moon's #GhostSong is a slow paced metriodvania with a tedious amount of backtracking & an abrupt vague ending that leaves you with more questions than answers. The game isn't bad, it's more "that was fine" than anything.

#OverallThoughts: The latest installment of Tom Clancy's "Ryanverse" - #JackRyanGhostWar - is an enjoyable entry to the franchise that balances the humour/action really well, but stumbles a bit in its pacing, stylistic choices & moments of shaky cam.

#OverallThoughts: Though it isn't without flaws (some tedious backtracking, questionable collectable locations, & moments of feeling lost), #GunsOfFury is a Hell of a time that lets you turn your brain off and put yourself in the shoes of an 80's Action Hero.
