Rings of Power S2.. Several strong performances, across a couple of genuinely engrossing plotlines, aren't enough to hold up what is mostly a flat experience that meanders, muddles and struggles with its own relevance.. 6/10 #OneSentenceReview

Joker: Folie à Deux.. A bad movie, one that never justifies its existence, with its thin dull plot sabotaged further by the most pointlessly incorporated musical elements possible, resulting in a confused & tedious film that offers nothing worth watching.. 2/10 #OneSentenceReview

Arsenal are incapable of adapting We drop to 10 men and our tactics die. Arteta doesn't know how to manage it and we just drop back with zero plan B and no ideas on how to rectify it Against Man City it looked valiant, against Brighton and Bournemouth it looks weak #AFC #ARS

Smile 2.. This film opens strong, posing a different thematic approach to its predecessor that makes for some fresh ground covered, however the identical beats can't be shaken and a reliance on being overly trippy end up taking away a lot of its impact.. 6/10 #OneSentenceReview

It's refreshing to see someone at the top of their game (no pun intended) spend several weeks and a large sum of their own money to produce free learning material for the sole benefit of teaching creatives Sakurai just doesn't stop

There's a moment in The Lake House DLC for Alan Wake 2 where you enter a room filled with typewriters It's eerie, unnerving and best part is a perfect visual representation of its generative Ai theme. Worth a playthrough just to dive into lore logs regarding it

Pico Park 2.. Building on the outstanding original, this follow up delivers just as much creativity, enjoyment, (great) frustration and brilliant gameplay moments that it simply becomes a must-have multilayer game, and a stand out couch co-op experience.. 9/10 #OneSentenceReview

Neva.. One of the most gorgeous games you can play, that's thoroughly enjoyable right to the very end, despite it's combat and platforming being serviceable at best, with enough originally in its later parts to leave a grand lasting impression.. 7/10 #OneSentenceReview

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.. Albeit jumping between genres, the campaign is an exciting and entertaining exploration of gaming styles, paired with robust zombie modes and a by-the-books MP that's hindered by awful spawn points, BO6 is overall a great game.. 8/10 #OneSentenceReview

dawn, do I double dip on Balatro to play it on Xbox and mobile?

Say Nothing.. No character feels wasted in this accounting of real events, that is strong throughout its large spanning story to give several poignant moments that elevate it's slower, but still high stakes, final third.. 8/10 #OneSentenceReview

Arcane S2.. The animation is still exquisite, the voice acting supreme, but that's pretty much it for this second poorly paced outing that lacks any real punch amidst its "music video" obsessive storytelling and confusingly flat arcs.. 7/10 #OneSentenceReview

My total time spent on my two most played games of 2024 is 82h.. And I didn't even really like them too much So here's to my general GOTYs that took a combined 51h to beat: - Astro Bot (18h) - PoP: The Lost Crown (16h) - Shadow of the Erdtree (17h)

Wicked.. The musical aspects and two lead performances (Cynthia paticularly) are the highlights of this rather funny movie that is otherwise excruciatingly long and filled with a surface level allegory for discrimination within a very tepid story.. 6/10 #OneSentenceReview

one easy way to spot a knobhead is simply to see if they drive a BMW... That is all
