I am not sure I would call this a game. I mean, technically, there is gameplay even more gameplay than some walking simulators, but it's more of a movie. Probably more of a movie than TellTale games. And it's an art-house movie to boot. If this was an actual short movie or an episode of some anthology likeBlack Mirror, I'd give it top marks, but as a game... This is a bit more complicated.
The…
It's good. If you liked original series, you will like this one as well. Same level of brutality and "raw"... Stuff. Like, in general. It also has a proper development of multiple story-lines, which big-screen MCU lacks nowadays. I think that may be a good reason to switch to TV series by default even.
It would work with comics better. Tell multiple separate stories in separate TV series, with
The…
Not a bad show, but could use some polish. It reminded me of those shows from late 90s and early 00s, usually running for just 1 season, where protagonist gets some sort of mystical power or generally gets involved with some paranormal, and then needs to deal with related stuff each episode in order to save his/her soul.
I think the closest one would be "Reaper" from 2007, but that one definitely…
MiSidewas compared a lot toDDLC, but both were compared to this game. Some comments, that I read suggested that this was "peak". After playing it, I'd say they were exaggerating, but it still not a bad story, overall if you go for the "true route".
The biggest thing that I do not like is that this is just not my type of game, even among visual novels, which are usually not my type of game either…
This is Black Mirror as usual. Possibly not as provoking then some earlier seasons, but still generally good. Here are my comments per episode:
Episode 4:
How did D know who to turn into? When did he see that girl?
Also Hisui continues to remind me of Jaw Titan.
It's not bad, but I think it tries to do a lot of things at once, and as result does not get particular good at any of them. There are multiple plotlines (which is fine, of course), and they do make sense considering the circumstances, but most of them feel quite shallow. And investigation bits are not that compelling.
On one hand, that's all understandable, since it's based on real life, and real…
I thought the reviews were a bit hard on the movie. And they kind of are, but kind of aren't, I guess.
If you turn your brain completely off it can be relatively fun. There is a lot of action, there is the chase, there is gore, there is some silliness. The humor could have been closer to Deadpool franchise, IMHO, but it was not even close, and was kind of mediocre for the most part.
If you do turn…
I just had tojinxit, didn't I, Razer? The moment I wrote that you have some good support people, you just went and screwed it all up again. So much that I am now considering to go buy a different mouse just so that I do not have to use yours.
I have been using Bluetooth connection for the mouse from the start, since I do not really need high polling rate for my daily needs. But I had some…
The situation that show describes is just plain awful. The show itself... Let's just say I understand why the show got quite a few bad reviews. And it's not the actors' play which did not feel natural at times, but was ok overall, and not the cinematography of it all, which was fine, I did not notice anything damning.
The problem is the approach to the story. Or rather the way it was split. The…
I think the ending was fumbled hard. I can understand the open ending of theanime adaptation, since it did not adapt the whole story, but the way it was done here is not good. It feels really incomplete. I know there is a continuation of the story in another manga, but it's just not good. Even Boruto's first manga had an ending that made you anticipate the continuation, because it implied some…
Why did I even bother trying to watch this? Auto-healing sex bot goes to school and then moves in with a nerd under pretense of needing repairs. But she is auto-healing somehow, so... Did she really need repairs? I guess this is just an excuse to show boobs to underage boy, which is what most nerds wanted at that age.
It's definitely not for the fans of the game. Not really. Although the anime and manga that came before it also were not, but I think, at least, the anime was set in the same universe. But that's fine, it's not a requirement, after all.
Problem is that it's not about Dante. Yes, Dante is here, he plays a role, but I would argue that Lady stole the show. And maybe Rabbit. Maybe a few other side
He…
It's kind of "meh". At least compared to 1st season. I could not put my finger on it, so tried looking at what other say about it, and one good explanation about what was off said that 1st season had more "purpose". I think that practically sums it up, really.
1st season had a lot of weird stuff, and while a lot of it was just for the sake of weird from cinematography point of view, most of it had…
Episode 4:
I completely missed this when reading manga, but what they say is true: gold can be magnetized with heat (source). I also like how the iron-melting scene will confuse anyone who will see it out of context.
I am a bit conflicted.
I think main gripe with the game is that it's probably not my type of visual novel in terms of how the text is structured and presented. I prefer the way it's done inHeart of the Forestor the Vampire games (includingReckoning of New York): each paragraph or dialog requires explicit press of a button and auto-continue or whatever it's called is an option. Here it's…
Meh. If you want something about crafting/gathering/cooking I think Atelier Meister would be better. Unless you are into little boys, I guess. Or if you are sold by the idea, that the boy survives a fever by "eating memories of his past life", which makes no sense, since he remembers his past life.
I'd say it's a case of false advertisement. Trailers have suggested that this is a story revolving around cloning and that it is somewhat of a comedy, but neither is true in reality.
Cloning is just a trigger for the plot here, or, at least, one of the triggers. There is a short episode where the history of cloning is discussed, which suggests some bigger discussion, but it is forgotten outside of…
Slice-of-yuri-photoshoot. Looks somewhat cute, I guess, did have a few fun moments, but overall not my thing. It also has a character that looks like that young grandma from Dandadan, but apparently she is not a grandma. Do what you will with this information.
This felt undercooked. There are a lot of things happening here, at least theoretically, since the world is supposed to be complex, but, I barely got the gist of it, possibly because I did not watch "Estab-Life", which is supposed to be like a prequel. I knew about the connection beforehand, but Bloody Escape looked like a standalone.
And it kind of is. The main characters are new, and only the "
On…
Macochi the Food. Really, this likeBocchi, but instead of music, we are getting food. At least premise is extremely similar: the main girl is extremely shy, but gets involved with a group, that will intentionally or not help with her introvert-ness. Or at least help her become just a bit happier doing what she loves. And she loves eating good food, I guess. Maybe cooking, as well? Ending already…
I don't even have much to say here, I guess. It's a great show. If you want drama as in "complicated relationships" it's probably not for you, even though there is some. It focuses on actual medicine, and when feelings are at play - they are related to what's actually happening, the stress of it all and the toll that stress can have on a person.
Pacing is amazing here. There is lots of stuff going…
Watching first episode of recentMoonriseTV show reminded me of Total Recall, so I decided to rewatch it. It still holds, 35 years later. Yes, compared to some other more recent movies, one can say that it's somewhat simplistic, but perhaps it's part of the charm. It's not trying to be more than it is, while still delivering all that you would expect from a good story: action, love, loyalty,…
It started quite "meh". Not like it became "peak" by the end of the episode, but... The magic can become interesting here. It's not breaking the existing rules (the way they were presented), but rather expands them, and acquisition of the power was simple, but it made sense and was effective (obviously). I already can tell, that the guy will eat the godstone next episode and probably get further…
Less than a minute to know that this will be great. I have no idea how they did it, really. I mean it was just a set of wide shots with a guy humming over them, literally nothing else there, and yet on roughly 50 seconds mark I was thinking: "Damn, this will be another anime in my list this season". Not literal season, since all episodes are out already, so I will probably finish it before season…
