Have I simply grown bored of puzzle games? Or is it that I value puzzle games less because I played so many for free (in Flash)?

I’m afraid I can’t exactly say what bored me about this game. Perhaps it was the level design that felt uninspired and generic. Perhaps it was the plot clichés and constant reminders that the “Main Character is so powerful.” Perhaps it’s because I just finished playing Dusk (and started a new run of Dark Souls). Whatever it was, it’s sad to think that after waiting 13-ish years to finish the fight that I may not be interested in doing so now that I have the chance.

I think this is one of the best Zelda games. And yes, I still put it into Tier Three. Also, major plot spoilers ahead for several Zelda games. Proceed with caution.

It’s been a while since I’ve put anything into Tier Three, and I’m sad I have to do it to this game.

The remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved leaves much to be desired. Scratch that – it’s just bad. While the port itself is technically well-done, both the graphical and (more frustratingly) the sound design language have been mangled almost beyond recognition.

Halo: Reach is a bad game – a very bad game, in fact. But at least the port to PC is fantastic…mostly.

Marathon Infinity (Completed)
by Chezni I uh… actually don’t have any more Infinity jokes. I used what little of them I had during the Let’s Play. So instead, I will just call it Marathon 3: The Really Really Big Number!
Infinity: Battlescape

Fall has begun and the temperature outside is now low enough that I can start using my computer as a heater for my room while playing graphically intense games. But wait, what’s this? A timely review? Has the world gone mad, or have I just backed too many Kickstarter games? Hm. Probably that second one.

I don’t really like Civilization. While the idea of controlling an empire through the ages sounds good in theory, the amount of time you have to spend doing it mostly outweighs the amount of fun to be had. While this may be an inherent flaw of 4X games, I had high hopes for Stellaris anyway since I’m a bit of a sci-fi nerd (actually, that’s a lie: I’m a lot of a sci-fi nerd).
Stellaris has been sitting in my queue for ages, and when I first took a look at it I put it into Tier 1 after playing for an hour; admittedly, this was not a fair shake. But with a lazy Sunday afternoon ahead of me and having been reminded that I still hadn’t played Stellaris by a board game I played with Chezni, I sat down determined to play a game. I got up 8 hours later, having played about half a game and realizing I just didn’t care anymore.
