Grime (2021 Video Game)
9/10
Almost a masterpiece
26 July 2023
I was blown away by this game. I've been looking for an unique and well made and well thought metroidvania game. I was hooked from the begining and even after all deaths and rage I refused to let it go.

I finished it and here I am writing this review.

-Amazing world -Great Graphics -Amazing art design both the world and enemies -Good soundtrack -Smooth and responsive gameplay and combat -Complex combat with a lot of abilities to take advantage of -Well made bosses.

No brain dead back track, no grind, keeps the game fresh the whole way.

What more can I say? I mean I can't believe its such an underrated game. How can Hollow Knight and other boring games be above this I will never understand people.

Its absolutely without a doubt the best soullike platformer.

I am a soulborne fan played everything from Souls, Sekiro, Nioh etc.... and tried alot of game that is trying to be soullike. I mean let me be honest I am tired of every game out there trying to be soullike. But Grime is something special.

Half-Life: Alyx (2020 Video Game)
6/10
VR should be an additional feature not a MUST
5 May 2023
The game itself is good and it still does what HL2 did best which is great world design that had great atmosphere with really good sound effects and soundtracks.

Graphically it's outdated, but the lightning and level design is so good it makes it look more realistic even though the graphic itself not holding up.

Gunplay is nothing special at all. Many games does it a lot better when it comes to gun sounds and the feeling of shooting em.

The game does not bring anything revolutionary after all these years. It keeps itself to the original and playing it safe.

I'am just honest and telling how it is. No fanboying or anything.

All n all its really fun and a great adventure thanks to the world design its really good. I also like old school FPS games with different maps more than openworld like we see today.

I give it a 6 mostly because of VR. Not everyone have the money for VR and I had to burrow it from a friend. Also take to account that people with glasses can't wear VR they have to get lenses. They just made the game very hard to be accessed by anyone who owns a PC because of the VR choice.

UNACCEPTABLE! Its a slap in the face and a big middle finger to every fan of the series.

People should not be giving this game such high score and accepting how dirty valve is.

Watched it in theaters just to accompany my Girlfriend.
21 December 2022
I knew years ago how the next Avatar were going to be and it was just as expected. I was not surprised at all about how bad it was and what it was going to be about.

I got tormented for 3 hours because my girlfriend wanted to se it day one. Funny though half way through out the movie she said "what is this crap, I want to go home" and I answered with "I told you so"

All the hype and all those high ratings by people and critics shows the difference between someone who really knows about cinema and who have been watching movies their whole life like me here, and others who easily affected by visuals and main stream. Which is also applies to video games these days.

I won't go into details really because I would have to write for hours about so many things that were faulty and incredibly bad.

So many actors were bad and what even worst so many characters was unbelievably pure crap and did not make any sense at all. The story is by far one of the most boring and common stories you can get from a children's Disney movie. The dialogue, lines and script is so bad I was really tortured.

If you actually compare the visuals with the first one then they're on par which makes the visuals actually outdated. If you look closely every little CGI was noticeable and average at best by today's standards for being a movie.

If you someone who watched thousand of movies and also play a lot of high end games. You would se that Avatar CGI nothing special now days nothing special at all.

When the movie ended no one clapped and no one was happy. The disappointment on every bodies face was so clear and I would hear here and there people bashing the hell out of the movie.

Movie a solid 5/10 at best and the popcorn was also 5/10 because of too much salt.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022 Video Game)
10/10
Best Kirby yet and One of the finest Games
23 September 2022
Hands down the best Kirby game to date. Nintendo took Kirby to the next level and the level it deserved.

-All worlds and stages were amazing and very good graphics.

-Very fun Side missions.

-Collectibles are cool and fun to collect.

-Soundtracks and sound effects are fantastic.

-Colorful and beautiful designs on every character in the game.

-Everything just cute and cool to the finest little detail.

-Upgrades are cool and give more variety.

-Challenges that are givin each stage is fun to do.

-The town is fun also and some stuff to do there.

-Some new Abilities that are really good.

-Taking over stuff is a whole new experience.

This is how you make a new generation of a game and this is what it looks like when done right.

Games supposed to be fun and put a smile on your face. This game is light hearted and relaxing and a lots of fun and stuff to do. One of the only games out there I would consider doing every thing to 100%.

This by far one of the best platform games I've played ever, and one of the best games made, and also the best Kirby game by far.

Its right there next to Ori and Mario Odyssey.

Don't know
11 September 2022
Could have taken Overwatch down easy if they cared about this game.

The champions are so much more fun and well done than Overwatch champs. Everything is faster and more fluid which makes battles so much more better. There are upgrades in game and more abilities on each champion.

BUT!

It does not even have Widescreen support.

It does not work properly, crashes my high end PC all the time before every launch. Then it works on next start up, then on the next launch it crashes the PC again. Did every possible fix out there and nothing worked.

Barely anything you can buy with in game earned gold. Almost 99% of the stuff costs real money.

These things made it just unbearable to play. Specially the no widescreen support and the crashes. Many people have these problems and the Developers never care to fix them not even when the game is dying.

You can't even sync you account cross other platforms. Like if you play the game on Epic launcher, you can't sync your data to Steam account.

Rock the House (2011 TV Movie)
6/10
Good family movie
9 September 2022
I got really tired of watching movies these past few years where Hollywood's high budget movies and other Triple-A movies gone down the drain.

I just can't handle these new movies they are so bad I have no words.

I decided to start watching low budget indie movies instead and here I am. This is the first movie of my new indie movie adventure.

What a great beginning. Its well written and good actors. Good family drama and pretty realistic drama at that, many parents these days go through this.

I enjoyed the movie a lot. Its light hearted and both parents and children can learn from each other.

Its just how movies used to be, made with passion and thought and sending a good message.

Very excited to see what more is out there from the indie world.

I don't know here to start
9 September 2022
I'am honestly lost of words and don't even know where to begin.

Its a disaster not only the bad story and writing but also the acting is absolutely horrible.

I am not a teen anymore. But even If I was 13 years old I would have giving it the same rating as I do now. Its one of the worst movies I've seen in my life and I've seen thousands.

It is made only for one reason and one reason only. To push every kind of agenda out there. I won't go into naming them, you should get it by now if you've seen this trilogy of crappiness.

Characters are annoying as hell, the story is flat and boring, nothing was original nor at least made in a good way. The drama is so laughable, like seriously what is this and what is it trying to be because it did not capture any genre in a good way.

I am not a fan of IT-movies but in comparison it was a masterpiece compared to this. That had amazing actors and was good thriller and action.

Whilst this on the other hand, just .......

Fall (I) (2022)
3/10
No just NO
9 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I don't know where to start, let's see.

The movie had some thrillers for sure, problem is there is just too much stupid filler specially the idiotic drama around the girl and her boyfriend. We got it many times but they just kept pushing the drama. The whole drama is stupid therefore makes it very annoying to watch her cry and complain. She and her BF goes on natures most dangerous adventure and she expect different result. As if someone killed her BF on purpose and she was about to turn John Wick on them.

The dark haired girl was very bad actor which made the thriller so much less believable and took away a lot of the fun. The Blond girl well her stupidity was just so annoying and her acting nothing good either. These two supposed to be "pro adventurers" and have done this "many time". Nothing they did showed any of that.

What I liked about this movie is that it shows how unthankful some people are about life and being healthy. They don't respect nature and how much time and effort their parents have put into taking care of them. They go and do real dumb crap and risk their lives for absolutely nothing.

All and all the writing and actors killed it for me. Very boring story. Those two did not fit this adventure at all. Their body appearance did not even show that they are pro climbers, and not even once did they care to check the ladders or anything before climbing.

Honestly would have been so much better if they were just random kids who decided to do something dumb. That would have suited the movie so much better.

Beast (I) (2022)
2/10
A Sharknado sequel just in a Lion form
8 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I miss survival movies like these, the sharks, planes, snakes movies etc.

When we finally get one, its just so disappointing like this one here. Nothing made sense, all characters were pure stupid and did not make one right call. Writing is for children under 10'y.o, and it should say this on the box "for children only".

I won't go into it too much, but some stuff to mention. Like the story so boring specially the first 40minutes I just wanted to fast forward.

Their uncle is very bad as a character. Children were bad as actors and as characters too. Even the father and his choices as a father were laughable.

And how about that there were no way the Lion could have survived the car blast. Also there was no way he could survived the Lion fight by the end and the whole fight were like a marvel movie, are you kidding me?

I get that its just a movie and its a thriller but there is a kindergarten thriller and a thriller with some kind of sense. Is this what 36milion dollars movies look like these days? Maybe the CGI on the Lions where acceptable but that's about it.

Death Stranding (2019 Video Game)
10/10
Honestly one of a kind masterpiece
8 September 2022
It's something never been seen in a movie or in a game. Everything is just mind blowing.

There is something special about those Kojima games, the way the character walks and the mechanics of the game are very familiar to MGS5 which I loved very much.

Soundtracks just on point not only in this game but so it was in MGS5. Kojima knows his music.

Gameplay is awesome and so much gears and stuff you can use and upgrade. The story very mysterious and original and keeps you always wanting to know more. Characters and voice acting is very well done. I could not stop playing the game for hours and hours a day.

Both the graphics and the world are fantastic. The gears you use and weapons have good feeling to them. The sound effects are great too. Vehicles are very cool and fun to ride.

The online is incredible one of the best ideas, its connects the world with many players to build together and share stuff. Its just a joy and puts a smile on my face when I see what others have done.

Its one of them games you'll never ever forget. Played it since release and still did not forget anything about it since then and will never do.

Planing on going back and have a new walk through.

Like I said there is nothing like it, even my girlfriend who never plays games, and never cares what I play. When she saw me playing Death Stranding she got very interested, and caught her eyes that there was something special about this game.

I've played hundreds upon hundreds of games in my life. Been a gamer for over 20 years now since the NES. I can say this is without a doubt one of the most special games out there. I can Understand its might not be for everyone. But when you like it you'll LOVE it so much that you'll never want it to ever end.

Mafia III: Definitive Edition (2020 Video Game)
6/10
It's like living in a loop
4 September 2022
Same missions over and over again. No new approach or anything. No stealth, no variety at all.

The story and voice acting pretty good though and the graphics in this "Definitive Edition are a bit improved over how the game looked when it launched, its kind of cinematic and does not suit everyone's taste.

The world is amazing, the city is alive and its a joy to walk around or drive around.

Driving is a blast in this game very fun and well made.

The Gameplay is good but missing some real stealth mechanics.

The missions are the worst because its like doing the same mission over and over again nothing new at all.

The game had big potential, specially how much effort put into the story and voice acting. I don't know why they were so lazy with the missions.

Elden Ring (2022 Video Game)
7/10
One of the most overrated games of all time
28 August 2022
This is by far the worst Fromsoft Soul game to date. It's Easy (for me) and very hard (for others) at the same time because its unbalanced. Mostly though its on the Easy side because of its open-world.

I am not bashing the game just because its easy but because it was forgettable and boring the whole way through. Very bad and cheap bosses, and they are recycled the whole game with only more HP each time.

Little enemy variety, they get recycled and specially by the last part of the game. Very few main bosses and mostly they were boring and forgettable.

The NPCs are very few for such a big game. Upgrade items are such a pain to find. I got tired of exploring emptiness. Most of the map is empty. I explored about 90% of the whole map and nothing was special at all.

The game was very bad at launch, its important to mention. Absolutely utter crap optimization. I had to wait till now to play it after so many patches, finally it got a bit more stable. No widescreen support either even after all the patches shame on the developers.

One of the most over-hyped and overrated games of all time. If this is your first Soul game, then I kind of understand why you would overrate this game.

For me after finishing All souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and both of NiOH. I found this to be very underwhelming in most aspects.

Sekiro in my option is the best Fromsoft game it was polished and complete. And also Revolutionary of a game. It feels like Fromsoft went back many steps with Elden Ring. Very disappointing.

There are videos on Youtube that explains why this is From Softwares weakest soul game to date.

I Went back and played DS3 after I finished Elden Ring, the combat is smoother in DS3 and does not have a weird delay. The bosses are hundred times better made. Each boss had like at least 3 phases. They were unique and intense. The world was well thought and more memorable. The weakest thing with DS3 is that it was a bit liner but I'd take that over the emptiness of Elden Ring.

Finished Elden Ring just under 60h and did take most of the bosses in the map. Most of the time spend was walking around and riding the horse, no fun at all. I just search for some action and every time I finally found a boss I killed it in 5 seconds and was disappointed.

That's my take on this game. I didn't want to write a review, but I had to because people only talking about how this game is perfect. As if gaming is done after this game or something.

If you looking for a really beautiful open world to explore then nothing beats Witcher 3. And if you are looking for great bosses and good combat then go where its really at and that is games like Sekiro, Nioh2, DS3, Bloodborne. These games puts you right into the action from the beginning to the end yet they deliver a memorable and fine crafted world.

There are many other things I could mention about E. R. but it would take lots of time and its just not worth it.

I saw the score and I thought it was going to be better ....BUT....
28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Its a good movie but at the same time nothing special to be honest. The story is what you'd expect from a Hollywood sequel.

There were unanswered scenes and questionable things.

No pilot would have ever done what Rooster did by going back and saving Maverick. That just killed his career by defying serious orders and losing a plane. They did not show anything of what his punishment ended up to be. This stuff happens only in Hollywood movies btw....

Also I don't understand if its cheap writing or some American thing. But what is it with most American movies that there is always big family drama? There is always someone who hates someone else and blaming him/her for losing a family member and then they make up in the end. Its really childish and tiresome.

The drama between Maverick and Rooster was so darn boring. It made no sense Maverick was still punishing himself for what happened. These pilots can't guarantee their lives either during training or in real combat. Just accept it and stop making boring drama.

When Maverick choose Rooster over Hangman for the mission it was expected from the first minute of the movie that this was going to happen. Hangman was the clear choice. But Maverick went with feelings rather than logic. What is this a Disney movie for kindergarten?

There were also not much back story to who is behind the nuclear target and how they found out. They could have focused on more interesting stuff rather than party and trash talk.

Lots of boring party scenes and off course just like in the first movie there has to be two dudes who compete and hate each other. By that I mean Rooster and Hangman. I also wonder if this is an American thing or just Hollywood.

Sometimes I think, 7/10 is too much to be honest. But just out of love for the franchise I'll let it be a 7.0.

There are other things I could mention but I don't like mentioning everything.

Samaritan (I) (2022)
6/10
Stallon only gets better
28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly one of them gem superhero movies that could have been a big hit, but misses minor things that had big impact on the movie.

When Samaritan won vs Nemesis and started walking away (then he fell)? Are you kidding me? The roof was already destroyed how could he just walk right into empty space and expect not to fall?

Then even funnier, how a super strength hero can not pull himself up? REALLY? Come on man!

Writing story like this only gets through 10 years old children not adults.

There were also barely any police involved in the movie, and very to little chaos. If the movie was a bit longer like 2.2h long it could have been something. They could have added more scenes and make it more interesting.

The little boy was OK actor sorry to say. But his character was bad. Stallons acting though he delivered more than expected actually for an old timer.

The idea that Joe was Nemesis and not Samaritan surprised me and it was really good twist you don't see everyday.

All and all it worth watching still. If more thinking and passion was put into the writing and the story. It could have been something special.

Prey (I) (2022)
2/10
Very Boring and Overrated
27 August 2022
What a waste of time it was. I don't understand how it can have this high score. I can't even name one good thing about this movie. Maybe the CGI was alright but that's about it. Too many dark scenes and bad atmosphere. Characters are so bad that you wont care about any of them. In fact I was on the predetor side all the time.

I don't care about that it was a girl but the character it self was bad and the actress was also bad. The writing is so bad. Its almost as if its was a Sharknado of the Predetor movies.

Is it really that hard to write and direct a good Predetor movie? I mean we wait years and then get stuff like this? The previous one was also a big disaster but even that was just a bit move fun to watch.

It feels like they make stuff just to throw at people and say there you go a Title you've been waiting for and you should be glad for what you get.

Elvis (2022)
6/10
I Guess its OK
9 August 2022
It's definitely not a Bohemian Rhapsody and not even close, many stuff felt off to me. The directing, the colors, some scenes was unrealistic and weird and also lip sync in some scenes not that well made at all among other things to note.

I felt like Tom Hanks in this movie was unnecessary, and pretty sure some one else could fit the role better. Also felt like Tom Hanks was always in your face, its like "look its tom hanks you have to love the movie now no matter what". Sadly he did a very poor job to be honest.

I am also sure that there are stuff in the movie that never happened at all but I don't want to get into it.

The credits music was horribly bad, what has that to do anything with this movie? Among the worst credits songs I've heard in my life.

The movie did not focus Elvis that much but it focused on many things and felt like always falling off course on what it's trying to tell. It's almost like the title of the movie should be Colonel Tom Parker than Elvis.

The movie focused on telling us that Elvis dancing moves is what made people love him and go crazy than his actual voice and singing capabilities. Very poor presentation at that.

Elvis deserve a better movie than this if you ask me. Surly this movie could have been a lot better if a better director made this.

Bright Memory: Infinite (2021 Video Game)
8/10
Short but Quality
25 July 2022
Its short yes, but it will stay with you forever as one of the best, if not the best FPS combat shooter ever. 20 years of being a gamer and the only game that comes close is Titanfall 2 with its responsive and fun First person Shooter combat. Not even Doom as fluid and fun as this. But hey that's my opinion after all.

The Gameplay is so responsive and smooth and the combat just pure amazing in every aspect, it blew me away. The graphics and atmosphere are really good and voice acting is good as well. The story is simple yet enough.

Its one of those games I will never forget. I am glad my friend told me to give it a try.

Its so much better than most AAA-Games now days. About 2 hours of fun or maybe a bit less depends on how good you are and what difficulty you choose. But I'd take those 2 hours over 90% of games made by big companies.

Pokémon Unite (2021 Video Game)
4/10
It could have been something
20 May 2022
I'll start by saying I am a big MOBA fan and I've played all of them, mostly DOTA2 and HOTS where I've put thousands of hours into.

I've already played about 500 games of Pokemon Unite. The game is refreshing with simple mechanics and new idea of play. Though it falls short big time because of greed and Laziness which makes it the worst MOBA ever.

First of all the unfair items which are P2W. You put money into upgrading the items to lvl30 and you get a noticeable advantage. Once they nerf that item which you put money into you need to pay more to upgrade another one that fits better. This is by far the worst system in any MOBA it makes the game very unfair.

There are also some pokemon that are very very broken. As of this month I am writing this review. Gengar is unbelievably broken, the damage on that hero is unreal. He can kill 3 pokemons solo even when standing on the Goalpoint and getting shield boost. I've lost so many games because of this mega broken pokemon, and my winrate gone down much because of this...

The matchmaking is pretty bad too. I don't like playing with a stack and I also don't want to play against a stack. I very often find myself matching against a stack even though I search solo. This is unfair and unacceptable.

For example in HOTS when I search a game solo, I get matched mostly with solo players. Only when it takes a long time to find a game, there is a chance I get matched with or against a stack. But in pokemon unite, very often I find myself matching against a stack.

There is also only one Map which is already very empty and boring. There should have been many different stadiums to play in, like there are different maps in HOTS with different objectives. It makes the game more fresh and fun.

DOTA2 have 1 map because its very big map and have too many details and tricks.

In pokemon unite you can't live forever with one map it does not fit the game. Nintendo being very lazy by not providing more maps. Focusing instead on greed.

By the way the price of upgrading items and buying new skins for pokemons is ridiculous!

In conclusion this game is not worth the time at all. Me and all my friends already tired of it and no one I know whats to touch this game anymore.

Free Guy (2021)
7/10
Finally something good in the past 2 years.
5 October 2021
The movie was good and refreshing. Not everyday you see almost the whole cast are right for their role. No politics nothing, just fun!

I wanted to give it an 8/10 but the only reason I didn't was the streamers they have shown like Ninja and Poki... I never watch twitch and never respect people like these. To put them in a movie makes the movie dirty and hard to watch in my opinion. They were totally unnecessary. They wanted to target 13Years old children with that move. But not only children are gamers sadly. The writer should've known better but I guess they know and just want money.

All in all still enjoyable if you would ignore these scenes. There could easily be another cut without them ;-)

Is this a joke like the scary movies?
14 January 2020
This is such an insult to the Trilogy of the terminator movies even the previous one was so much better in comparison. The story is so simple and cheap to an extreme level. Also what worst than that are the scenes, the majority of scenes were just a pure ripoff the first two movies. Most of the actors were pretty bad and did not fit in except Arnold and Linda. There were three questions that came up on my mind while watching this. Is this a remake, a follow up or a joke? Because it was non of that. This movies should not have existed.

One more thing do I dare say that "woman power" was the focus in this movie. It was more obvious than sun in the sky. But its been the focus of 90% of Hollywood movies for the last couple of years. I was not surprised at all by this one.

The Witcher (2019– )
3/10
I Knew it was Going to be Really Bad
23 December 2019
The quality of production is OK but the acting mostly bad and the story telling is so darn boring. As a big fan of Witcher games the characters in the series does not match the characters in the games with the attitude and personalities.Henry is not that good of an actor either and to give him the role of Geralt my favorite character ever was just crazy. I think Mads Mikkelsen would have done a way better job than Henry (I have nothing against the dude). I commend Netflix for always taking unique steps of giving us movies and shows that Hollywood would never do. But this was no good step. The Games are just too Perfect to try and make a TVshow, and to match the games you would need a budget that are far greater than the budget of GoT with some of the best actors and directors.
