Magical Tetris Challenge

There is nothing much to write about Gameboy games

Game no: 492
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 2000

Tetris with a Disney theme. Nuff said. Honestly what else is there to write about it. B-Rank 

Magical Drop

A simple puzzle game 

Game no: 491
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 2000

A game that is about taking a drop of marbles and match it to the same color. And that'd about it I guess, Nothing much to talk about. C-rank for me 

Klustar

Tetris but from all angles 

Game no: 490
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 1999

A tetris game but where the blocks move from angles. the blocks will disappear after you get 3x3. If you miss your chance it will make the main block will be longer and you have no way to navigate it.  Overall it is enjoyable but you'll get bored after a while. I gave it a C-Rank.

Denki Blocks!

 The first gameboy color game that I really enjoy

Game no: 489
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 2002

It is basically a simple game where you need to match the  same color blocks to the rest. The only trick is that when you move the blocks everything moves with you. So you need to navigate the terrain in order not to hit anything or become stuff. This game is genius and easy to play. There are some puzzle that I can't figure out but overall I enjoyed my time playing it. I think this how Gameboy Color games should be. Short and sweet without any convoluted mess. I give this game a B-Rank

God of War Ragnarok

Does this game lived up to the hype.

Game no: 488
Genre: Action 
Platform: PS5
Release Date: 2022

Nothing has changed. Everything is the same yet different. Years have passed since the first game and now the main characters are older and wiser. Old friends becomes enemies and there are new friends on the horizon. You start off where it left off from the first game. Everything is freezing and Ragnarok is approaching. Kratos has his motivation to avoid confrontation while Atreus wants to seek answers in stopping Ragnarok. Well that's the beginning of the game in a nutshell. If you love the first story you are going to love the second one.  

What is different from the first game is that this
time a lot of things have been streamline for the better and yet some things remain the same. The map is still confusing to understand. Upgrade points still require a lot of resources but this time you don't need to change your armor every time but you can upgrade it until the max level (provided if you have enough resources) Kratos has a new weapon. But the biggest change to this game is that now you can control Atreus in different parts of the story. The single camera view from the first game return means that you seamlessly transition into a different character without you noticing it. Kratos still controls good. His rage now can double as a healing bar. Atreus is much faster and has better long range since he has a bow. The Atreus sections are more mellow since he can only handle a certain type of enemies. Other things that change is you companion that follows you through your adventures change for each act of the story. They still control with one press of a button but now you can have a different buddy to converse with.

What I liked about this game is that the story is more epic. There are also moments of somber and seriousness. But the story didn't grip me as much as the first game. I think is because we know that this is the end. We know where the characters are going. It does manage to surprise you from time to time but overall the story is an epic adventure. Gameplay is fun and also the puzzles are also challenging to solve. I didn't mind at all Mimir talking on how to solve it because I wanted to advance the story. The thing I didn't like is probably the map. Some of the characters as well didn't have closure for me which really sucks. And the ending. As much as I love where it went I just didn't like how it ended.

Overall God of War Ragnarok lives up to what Sony Santa Monica set to do. The game is long with the main story spanning close to 20 hours. Plus the side missions which I did a couple I was looking at a good 30-40 hours of gameplay. But I wanted it too end because it was too long and I was getting to restless in wanting to know what has happen. After finishing the game I was happy that I get to experience something that I don't think I get to see again. In the end this is going to be my number 1 game of the year. A total S-Rank for me. 

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania

 Was this necessary

What is it about?
Dracula wants to retire but doesn't want to give the hotel to Johnny 

The Good
There are some funny parts

The Bad
The was not needed 
They are trying to pad the movie by having weird stakes 
The didn't even get the original actor to voice Dracula

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: No but animated credits

Verdict: Can be avoided 

God of War (2018)

Playing this again before Ragnarok 

Here is my review of the game here

Game no: 487
Genre: Action 
Platform: PS4
Release Date: 2018

Rather than write about what made the game great and frankly this game is still a masterpiece. I will write about what I want the next game will be and see if they improve on it 

• A better map system. I don't mind if it's not specific but at least tell what we are missing 
• More enemy variety 
• Close all the plot points of the story 
• Upgrades that makes it easier to do. In the previous game you have no resources to upgrade the system and usually you don't know what to do. 
• An easy mode that is actually easy 

That's about it. I think if they made that this game is going to be a masterpiece from me. It's already an S-Rank so far. Let's see if they elevate it
