Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

A new Uncharted game, only without its possibly iconic main character, Nathan Drake. Does Uncharted: The Lost Legacy live up to the reputation of its predecessors, and can Chloe Frazer adequately fill Drake's shoes? In my opinion, the answer to both of these questions is mostly, yes.

Possible spoilers beyond this point.

Gamescom 2017

So Gamescom came and went over the last week, and I thought I would talk about that a little bit. Now obviously larger sites than this have covered the even, and I can't compete with them. So I thought I would just mention what were some of the highlights for me.

So, let's take a look.

Little Witch Academia (2017)

Now that the full series is (finally) up on Netflix, let's take a little look at this tale of whimsy and magic, shall we?

Normally when I hear something described as “fun for all the family” I just kind of roll my eyes, because what this usually means is that it's a film aimed at kids, with very little to grabbed the attention of older audiences. Really, only Disney consistently puts out content that amuses both the young and the old.

However, I think that Little Witch Academia definitely hits that sweet spot. I possesses that charm and magic usually exclusive to Disney, and will manage to draw your attention, almost regardless of how old you are.

Warning:  There may be spoilers beyond this point!

Why Did Metroid Prime: Federation Force Fail?

So, opinion time!

Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a game that released almost a year ago at time of writing, to an almost overwhelming negative fan response; even though it mostly received ratings of average, from professional reviewers. Now that tempers have been cooled a little by the announcement of two more Metroid games for the Nintendo Switch and 3DS, I just wanted to offer some of my opinions on why this game was so divisive.

Now like I said, this is an opinion piece, not a factual analysis. This is just my opinion, given as a fan of the Metroid franchise.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star

Come with me back in time, as I review a game from January of this year. Hey, I wasn't doing this blog back then.

Okay, first things first, this is a game in the mould of Koei-Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors, so if you know those games you will have an idea of what the gameplay is like. It's also based on the “Nasuverse”, a franchise which spans across multiple media including anime, manga, and videogames. Specifically, The Umbral Start is a part of the Fate/Stay Night series, and functions as a direct sequel to Fate/Extra. That said, you do not need to have seen previous entries in the series to follow the story, or the bare basics of it at least.
