Video Game Review: Link's Awakening (Switch)

-

I enjoyed this game, but not as much as the other Zelda games. I remembered I played this one as a child. Back then, we didn't have walkthroughs and we had to figure stuff out on our own. I beat the game, at least I remember that, and I enjoyed it.

This time around, as an adult who has played many Zelda games, I'm not that patient. I did figure a lot of things on my own, but honestly, I used a walkthrough for two things. The first one was the trading sequence (which was driving me insane). The second one was for one of the dungeons. It was too complicated for me (I'm not that smart) and I was starting to loose the enjoyment.

Besides that, it's still a fun game that looks pretty cute with the round anime-type characters. The bosses overall aren't that hard, but not easy, either—which is important for me in a game.

A good blast from the past, but definitely not a top 5 Zelda game for me.

Cheers!

Graphic Novel Review: Batman, Volume 1: The Court of Owls

For those who don't know, my favorite comic character is Batman and Scott Snyder captured the Batman I love close to perfection in this reboot of the Batman series for the New 52. Truly an amazing writer! Not only was it wonderfully written, but the art of Greg Capullo (who, if I remember correctly, I first met when I read X-Force back in the 90s) was superb! Truly a fantastic duo. Which makes me think how many of Marvel's artists have gone over to DC as they grow in popularity (Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, John Romita, Jr and Andy Kubert, to name a few). Not that I have a problem, it's been a while since I picked up an X-Family issue since lately I've found I enjoy adult graphic novels, and of course: Batman. Vol. 1 of the New 52 just kept me hooked from start to... well, almost finished. The ending was a little bizarre and the story wasn't over, so I have made a vow to get my hands on volume 2 as fast as I can. If you want to know why Batman is the gr...

Book Review: The One (The Selection #3)

It's been a while since a book drew me in so much, since I just couldn't stop reading. The Selection may not be a classic, but it's one of the best book series I've read. Everything just flows and even when sometimes the characters are a little immature, it's because they are. They are teenagers thrown into adult situations expecting to make adult decision. Still, our two main characters, America and Maxon, are responsible and honorable and I like that. This story feels really thought out and you can't help but enjoy it and keep reading to know how the predictable ending will actually take place. It's just a joy, I can't say it enough. Book three is the culmination of America's life at the palace as she falls in love with Prince Maxon, expecting him to love her back the way she needs him to. It's not just about that, it's about the future of a country, a deadly rebel force attacking more and more often and family. The ending does ta...

Videogame Review: Starfield

This is definitely not like Skyrim. I haven't played many Bethesda games, but I can tell you that I loved playing Skyrim. I played it until there was absolutely nothing else I could do. This was hundreds of hours. And then, instead of getting the next Elder Scrolls game we got: Starfield. My husband was so psyched. So much that he got me a new console and the game so that I could play it at the same time he was playing it. The game is not that  bad, but there are a lot of things that I don't enjoy. 1) The doors. They take so long to open and close 2) The random visiting of NPC to deliver messages or things that makes me run like a crazy person through galaxies. Can't they just send a message? Or a text? Or an email? *sigh* 3) The unlimited items that I can collect that I never use or don't want to use. I don't even know what I should be looking for half the time, and if I'm building something that requires "x" item, do I have time to go looking for it?...
