The ugly cousin of the MCU & textural joke of a game that looks, plays, and feels 10+ years outdated on its 2020 release – wasting the groundbreaking introduction of Kamala Khan & decent storyline, this Avengers feels like a fan-fiction game. 3.2/10.

Pokémon: Sword/Shield (2019)
A storybook feel achieved through plush tracking visuals, rich England-themed terrain, Dynamax kaijuism, perfect gym redesign, & best starters + new PKMN since G/S/C, but mixed textures/legendaries & no NatDex: inexcusable omission. 7.6/10.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018)
A congratulatory capping-off of the series’ history with an incredible roster, gaming nostalgia, & customizability in SSB’s most comprehensive version yet, although a bit clunky in gameplay & textures with admittedly-chaotic/overcrowded canvas. 6/10.

Spider-Man PS4 (2018)
Perhaps the most authentic Spider-Man project to-date w. vibrant FP-gameplay, rich cinematic storytelling, comics lore, & crisp web-slinging mechanics, but flawed combat system, feature-imbalance, PS4-exclusivity, & a mixed open-world. 8.8/10.

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! (2018)
A visually spectacular return to Kanto innovating the decades-old formula with fresh new mechanics & modernized GO-centric tricks, Pokémon Let’s Go is the perfect way to introduce series-newcomers – or reintroduce old-timers. 9.5/10.

Call of Duty: Black Ops IV (2018)
After an extremely disappointing BO III, Treyarch finally returns with a ~passable, modernized, gritty combat return to the original lore – with fine map designs, polished-but-unoriginal Battle Royale, and a nostalgic-feeling Zombies. 5.6/10.

Assetto Corsa (2014)
A truly breathtaking driving simulation by Kunos Simulazioni whose physics and handling need to be felt on a solo track alone to be believed, betrayed by deficient multiplayer racing, uneven difficulties, chase-cam, mixed online interfaces. 7.1/10.

Cuphead (2017)
An indie run-and-gun masterpiece rich in nostalgic 1930’s cartoon stylism, palatial charm & detail poured into every frame, old-school jazz/swing-infused score, and breathtaking adventure. One of the 2000’s greatest (& hardest) video games. 10/10.

Mario Kart 8 (2014)
A visually resplendent modernization of the classic formula recreating original lore/canon w. breathtaking 21st-century graphics detail, refinement of mechanics, & new modes, but basic online, Mario Kart 8’s the definitive MK experience. 9.2/10.

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of The Wild
A pure open-world magic of experience unlike anything in gaming w. lush textural gradients, natural awe, flexibility in adventure, & complete reinvention of its lore-depth series, BOTW’s a benchmark piece in the progression of video games. 9.7/10.
