God of War Ragnarök – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0000

First, a note. I will try to not get too much into details, but to completely avoid reading unwanted story information, a “[Warning: the next paragraph contains a minor or major spoiler]” alert is displayed before every section that carries it. Kratos’ Norse mythological saga is nearing its end, and there’s a lot to unpack [...]

God of War Ragnarok | Hands-on Impressions

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 13:00:00 +0000

God of War (2018) was a rollercoaster of emotions. Every reveals up until the end was, for the lack of a better adjective, amazing. And so far, during my hands-on with Ragnarök, it looks like this sequel will surpass the reputation achieved by its predecessor. Aside from Atreus’ puberty upgrade, one of the changes first [...]

Dungeons and Dragons Dark Alliance – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 22:41:47 +0000

I hopped into Dark Alliance blindly, after seeing only one cool trailer and nothing else. I haven’t really heard/read much about the game ever since. Still, I was excited. I can finally recreate my own D&D character in a video game! However, with my innocent enthusiasm comes dark disappointment. After watching the whole intro cinematic, [...]

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 09:44:43 +0000

Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PS4 was a strong contender as a game of the year last 2018. Insomniac Games clearly aims to top that outing with one of today’s most anticipated entry to the superhero genre. Although Miles Morales is dubbed to not be an actual sequel, it still provides more to the table than [...]

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – Review in Progress (PS4)

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 20:43:25 +0000

Insomniac Games’ 2018 outing for Marvel’s Spider-Man was a, well, marvel. It was an emotional roller coaster that left gamers wanting more. Though this year’s Miles Morales is just an expansion to that universe, rather than an actual sequel, it delivers more than what this writer originally thought it was supposed to. The first thing [...]

Marvel’s Iron Man VR – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 15:05:08 +0000

It’s 2008 and the dawn of superhero movies just started to take shape. Reboots after reboots and the real beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born. In a cave. While being trapped by terrorists. Forced to work on a missile but instead worked on something else for his chest. Anyway, you, a gamer by [...]

Dreams Universe – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 03:58:33 +0000

Personally, it’s hard to think about Media Molecule without pairing their name with creativity. Their past games are filled with colorful aesthetics and gameplay that’s a total recall of one’s childhood. Who could ever forget Sackboy and his adventures in Little Big Planet? Or you, the player, as the god-like being on Tearaway? Their games [...]

A Plague Tale: Innocence – Review

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 01:19:17 +0000

For centuries, people have been guessing what really could have caused the black plague in Europe, way back 1300s. Logical-sounding reasons popped up, like were there really vampires then? Some even ridiculously said it’s just because of improper hygiene and poor environmental maintenance. Impossible, right? Well, now we know better, and A Plague Tale: Innocence [...]

5 Wardrobe Fails In Video Games

Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 15:57:14 +0000

Video game characters are usually designed to mimic real life, even when they’re set in fantasy land. But, you gotta admit, most of them are well-dressed… except when they’re not. Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain) No matter what the developers say about Quiet’s almost-naked design, it’s still obvious that she’s made for the [...]
