Hello everyone! I’ve taken a step away from this website recently (too toxic and too often I got caught up in stupid and foolish arguments). This is my first post in a while and I think I will just continue posting my game reviews and occasionally things on games, but I’m done talking (at least as far as I can see) about real world things on this website as people tend to want to dissect and insult you on everything here.
On a bright note, I’ve decided to reformat my reviews going forward. I haven’t had a game with a bad interface in a while and, when it really boils down to it, there is something that has replaced it in terms of importance to me (music). Also, I will now just have a simple description about the game, following by the points in each category, instead of them being separated. Anyway… hope you enjoy!
Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle Review
The year’s most absurd and random game is also the most enjoyable gaming experience I’ve had in years. What a fresh, wonderful spin on two series (one slightly old, and the other as old as video gaming itself). It’s like someone thought, “hey, let’s combine the Mario universe with the insane ‘minion-like’ humor of rabbids, with the gameplay of xcom, with the music of Banjo Kazooi, and make an absolutely beautiful engine, art style, and CGI cut scenes along with it.”
This combination sounds like something a 37 year old high school dropout part time coder would try to make, but nope, it was a full-fledged AAA game experience. Not one second of this game was boring. Not one death did I have (there were many) did I ever proclaim to be done with this game. Not since Arkham City came out have I felt this compelled to go back and get all the bonus stuff. What a treasure; an absolute delight in so many ways. The story was funny, had entertaining twists, and had probably the coolest form of a certain bad guy (cough*) I’ve ever seen. The game was incredibly easy to control. I hope this game sells like bonkers, because I seriously would flip out if Ubisoft announced a sequel. Easily, hands down, without a doubt the current game of 2017 to me right now. Bravo, I say, bravo!!!
