Deleted Saves

Love alternate history fiction? Love short games? Love to hear about what happens when both go wrong? I give my thoughts on The Order: 1886, a third person steampunk shooter with Arthurian knights versus werewolves and other things in Victorian London. And how the whole thing went pear shaped.

This week I offer my thoughts on 2018's God of War, the soft reboot and continuation of the long-running series. Can Kratos' rage finally be quenched in the ice and snow, or has the birth of his son finally calmed him down? I explain it all as I see it and you can be the judge.

I offer my thoughts on yet another Twin Peaks wannabe. Control, we need to talk...

This week I offer up my thoughts on Resident Evil 3 Remake, a remake of what was supposed to be a side content story in the franchise. There was a lot of gamer upset about this title, and it came out during a bad time, but overall I think it succeeded far more than many would believe.

What's this? Another Resident Evil game? Yep, and on this week's episode I give my thoughts on what has to be the outright scariest of the bunch so far with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. How did Capcom combat series fatigue with this entry? By ripping off every American horror movie from 1999 onward and mashing them together to drop on one unsuspecting dope named Ethan.

On this episode, I return to the dead streets of Raccoon City to give my thoughts on Resident Evil 2 Remake. It was a long time coming, but we finally got the remake we needed. But what had changed in the decades since the original game? A lot, and it propelled this classic horror title into superstar of the modern era status.

On this episode I give my thoughts on Final Fantasy VII Remake plus the INTERgrade DLC, on what has changed in the twenty plus years since the original, what has stayed the same, and why we should look at this game with a new understanding of what this game will be going forward, and not as the enemy of the original. And if you think this game ruined your precious childhood memory, then you are really not going to like this review.

On his episode, I dive back into STEM and render my thoughts on The Evil Within 2, a survival horror sequel that almost does not resemble the game that came before due to changing up the formula and just going buck wild. But is it any good? I think so, but considering what it was up against from the AAA game sphere, it could have been the worst game ever and still succeeded. So there is that.

Hope you liked Resident Evil 4, because you're getting again but under a different name! My thoughts on The Evil Within, a survival horror title from the master of the RE series where he tried to do something different but ZeniMax wanted RE4 again for their own purposes. This is another of my Problematic Favorites, so grab your own Agony Crossbow and strap in.

In which I say nothing upsetting or get annoyed at people in any way whatsoever, I offer my thoughts on The Last of Us Remastered. Nor do I comment on fandoms, public discourse, or anything else. It's just a fun zombie game, really. Nor is it a "we need to talk" episode. Not really, anyway.
