Hi, I'm a **** reviewer, and here's my opinion: as a game, Ricochet is perfect. Brilliant. Outstanding. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is centuries of fun. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this. However, you had no option except to push people around with discs. No way to put down your weapons and have peace. The game so entirely lacks compassion that it made me feel like a bully. Tropico 5 - I mean, Ricochet fails to reconcile that conflict in a mature way, missing its shot at changing the genre from a thoughtless getaway to a memorable, meaningful trip. Also, I found the exaggerated art style is alienating and gross, even though it looks amazing. 6/10

A brilliantly fun game. It's got a lot of low reviews, which is fair, but there's a reason I'm giving it a 9: it got better with age. If you've ever played Mischief Makers post-N64 era, you'll know what I'm talking about here. What was, at the time, somewhat behind on graphics and sound now just comes off as "an ordinary old game". It just doesn't look poorly-made anymore! The other improvement was in bugs. Very nearly all of them have been fixed. The story and voice-acting still **** though. The story is a typical excuse plot, like Advance Wars with less interesting characters, and the voice-acting is hilariously bad! But this isn't the kind of game you play for the campaign anyway, so whatever. One thing that's gone completely now is the multiplayer. The one that used to be subscription-based, for some reason. The AI is good enough, better than normal strategy game AI, but if you want to play with friends you have to get Massive Assault Network 2 instead (which isn't as good at all for single-player). This is all without reviewing the good sides. In that regard, let me just say: it's basically the best turn-based strategy game system ever made! It's REALLY good! Imagine Advance Wars mixed with Hearthstone, with a lot more randomness than either. If you haven't played both those games... um... it's just really good!

DROD is seriously the best puzzle game series I've ever played! The promo material (videos and such) make it look rather crappy, but it's seriously magnitudes better than it looks! And I'm not the only one that thinks so this game's got a 9.7 rating on Desura! You can play the first one for free, actually, if you want to try the series out.

This game is pants. This game is paaants. There's no thought process in battling, the story is pointless and basically filler, there's no feeling of "find the best gear" or anything similar, the enemies are unimaginative and too similar to each other, and the sidequests are nearly always incredibly boring fetch quests and NEVER give any kind of reward - even the secret ending for getting all fragments is half a minute long and adds literally nothing to the story. Seriously, can you even imagine a Final Fantasy game where there's no point at all on doing sidequests?
