Not the strongest in the series, but still fun

Overall Danganronpa v3 is likely my least favorite of the series . The characters weren't bad for the most part. But a lot of the game felt similar to the first two. The plot wasn't as strong. And there was one early twist that really hurt the experience for me. If you enjoy the games, there's plenty to love here. But I wouldn't go in expecting this to be the best of them all.

More of the same

Have you played Sun or Moon? Well you've more or less played this as well. There are changes to the story and additional features. It ends up playing a lot like the 'third game' that Pokémon is known for. But I was even less impressed with it here than I typically am. I think you can avoid this unless you really want to see the new content. It's just not really worth it.

Still rocking to the same tunes

GotG2 is a lot like the first in many respects. It helps expand on side characters from the first movie. But the idea of the group being a family and them struggling to accept themselves as part of the group and their roles is still there. I personally preferred the first movie. But this one is still a lot of fun.

A different style of movie
on May 21, 2018
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
Black Panther feels like it's quite a bit different than your normal MCU film. This movie did a better job of really showing a unique culture in a way that movies taking place in literal space couldn't manage. The movie itself is its own thing in almost every respect. For some people who are going in expecting an average MCU film, they might end up being disappointed.
The film itself is propped up by an understandable villain, unique characters, and some good moral questions. It isn't going to bash too hard at the big issues. But it does use them as a base for the setting and conflict. Which is a nice change of pace in my opinion.
The only complaint I have is that there wasn't a Bluray DVD combo package. I'm not going to take a star off as that doesn't affect the quality of the movie or features. But it's something that really annoys me.

I've always enjoyed the Thor movies. The original was a good story of Thor's maturing into a proper leader. The second had the issue where left out a lot of the fun and felt like it wasn't really a Marvel movie. Well that might be because this movie stole all of the fun from Dark World. It's jam packed with style and humor. Everyone involved seemed like they were having a blast. And yet the movie isn't just empty like some others are. There are real consequences for the movie that have lasting effects. If you intend to see infinity war, I recommend watching this first.

Strange Times

This has become one of my favorite Marvel movies to date. Visually, the movie is amazing. There are a lot of really good effects. It plays out a lot like Iron Man's origin story. But I prefer this movie due to the pacing and character development involved. Overall, I ended up being much more impressed with this movie than I expected to be. There's also a good number of bonus features to help add to the experience.

I really enjoyed Homecoming. The characters were fun, the villains were at least grounded, and most of the events of the film made sense. I do wish they had done different things with Peter's relationship with Tony and the portrayal of the villain. But overall this is one of the better Marvel movies to date.

A Strange Mix That Somehow Works
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
Like many people, I thought that the idea of a Mario and Rabbids crossover game would be bad. Then they revealed it would be an Xcom-esque tactical game and things changed pretty quickly. What was more or less considered a joke ended up turning into the best Switch exclusive so far in my opinion.
I'm going to start with the elephant in the room. The rabbids are here in full force. The minions of gaming can be annoying at times. But I felt they were handled well here. Having a comedic straight man in Mario and Beep-O helps a lot, and the humor isn't quite as 'LOLRANDOM' as I was worried about outside of the beginning.
Beyond that the story is pretty simple overall. Save mushroom kingdom from a thing. There are some great parts (a certain boss comes to mind), a solid amount of fun humor, and general a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
I want to give special note to the music. I absolutely adored it. It was done by Grant Kirkhope. So if you, like me, grew up on Banjo Kazooie, expect a nice hit in the nostalgia there. The music help keeps the worlds alive and fun.
The gameplay itself really is 'baby's first Xcom.' And honestly, I think that's great. It's a very much simplified version of Xcom where there are only three chances to hit (0, 50, 100), which makes a lot less feel bad moments of missing off an 80% hit. The gameplay does have depth as well though. The simpler style makes it feel a bit more puzzle like than a typical strategy game. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. It's much less dependent on RNG and you're given a good amount of customization for your characters in terms of skills and weapons.
For the amount of content, I had original felt it was kind of light. It took me about 30 hours to finish the game at 100% with nothing below perfect and a lot of backtracking and exploring. Realistically you could likely finish the story in 10-15 hours if you wanted. But you'd be missing out on a good amount of content. Beyond the story, there are 10 challenges per world and some more beyond that. They can be fairly tough. Some of them I had to revisit later in the game when I had better weapons, and the final challenges offered a good amount of challenge.
Overall, it's a fun strategy game of a genre we haven't had quite yet from Nintendo. Big props to Ubisoft for this one. They knocked this game out of the park.

Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

Colorful, Stylish, and Fun

Overall, Splatoon 2 takes a lot from Splatoon. The campaign is very similar, though you can finally play through every level with all types of weapons without needing amiibo. The multiplayer is the same great Splatoon from the Wii U. Entirely new (and better balanced) supers, some fun new weapons, and a handful of new stages help add some life. Though the pool still feels limited as of now.
My favorite new feature is the Salmon Run though. It's a horde mode where four inklings face off against a bunch of salmon, trying to collect golden eggs. There's no competition with your fellow player here. It's cooperate or die. You aren't allowed to choose your weapons, instead being given one of four preselected weapons randomly. Which works out better than it sounds.
There's a nice variety of enemies in this mode. But some strange choices on Nintendo's part really hurts it. You can't play it whenever you want, instead forced into specific time slots that chance constantly. You can't even try it solo for fun. And, as of now, there only seem to be two maps available. I love the mode and it's my favorite part of the game. But without some changes and support for it, it's something that'll likely get boring fairly quickly.
Overall, with Salmon Run not being fleshed out more and limited in terms of availability, the game does feel quite a bit like Splatoon 1.5 for all the good and bad that comes with. Hopefully we'll get more support for it as time goes on. If you're looking for a fun shooter and/or skipped out on Splatoon/the Wii U, I'd give this one a look at least.

Match shape-shifting wits against friends in Puyo Puyo Tetris for the Nintendo Switch. It combines everything you love about both puzzle games, and it ups the ante with a Swap mode that lets you switch between board styles. Race against the clock or add in special items to make game play more challenging in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

A good puzzler with many features

Verified Purchase:Yes
PuyoPuyo Tetris is a mash-up game that I'm pretty happy to play. While I lean more towards the Tetris side, the PuyoPuyo side happens to be fun as well. It comes with a number of solid features. Vs mode between other players or AI, a mode about setting off combos as quickly as you can, a story mode, online, and mixes of both the titular series and a mash up make up the bulk of the game.
Personally, as a puzzler, I had a lot of fun. I'd recommend checking out the free demo on the eShop before you pick it up. If you enjoy the demo, check out the main game.
My only complaint is just how 'anime' the story is. Which is to say bright, colorful characters and worlds with exaggerated everything and a number of characters that slot easy into specific archetypes. That said, it still managed to be a fun little story at least, if nonsensical at times.
