You are right, there are better LEGO games! To be honest, I didn't get much out of the mini-hub, the main city hub felt kind of bland and though reliving the film and the levels were fun, i personally found the bad audio mixing of the film dialogue to be a big detriment to the quality of the game! I do intend to get around to looking at all of the LEGO games i can get my hands on! I will do a full cpnparison at that point

Absolutely! In my opinion, it is an 8.5/10 game.

I think it was Loco Motive. A point-and-click murder mystery with three protagonists. Greatly enjoyed it all around. I'm not sure if Zet Zillions released this year, but that one i would mention too. Fun sci-fi deckbuilder roguelike with some memorable characters and BOLD, cool art style. And Decline's Drops is a good 2D action platformer with long-term DLC planes. But i would *want* to say Magenta Horizon. Very aggressive 2D hack-and-slash game with good story and a lot, LOT to offer in its mechanics. It's downright criminal how little-known it is. Even with how much i'm struggling right now against most bosses and the middle part of the game, i do want to really implore people to play it more. It deserves it. Oh, and i have PRIM (goth point and click) too but i haven't yet played it. And there was Blud, was a bit more style than substance but the love for the product does drip off it, in animation and writing. Decent one. (Bonus mentions for earlier years: 2020: No Straight Roads 2022: Soulstice 2023: Clash: Artifacts of Chaos and Cookie Cutter)

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't heard of any of those, but honestly, they all look really cool and unique, I think I might check a few out this year!

Nine Sols

Bargain - 100% worth playing.

Absolutely!

And it just went on sale for $5

Unfortunately Minecraft Dungeons is in its end state - all DLC has been released and there are no further updates, seasons on DLC planned on being released. While that means there wont be anything new for this game, it does mean that this review will be relevant for the foreseeable future.

@FuthorcGaming tbh the community is what keeps this game alive, since it stopped updating in 2022, if it wasnt for its community it'd be in a graveyard.

Absolutely! I see more people discovering the game and enjoying it too, so I really hope strong support from the community and interest from new people helps make real the rumour of a sequel

@FuthorcGaming nah there wont be a new sequel, Microsoft has turned too money hungry to make anything cool, they just make anything that makes them more money.

@@FuthorcGaming althought MCD's community is probably able to make a new sequel, we just need a motivation to do so.

I would agree. This certainly had the feel of hollow cash grab tie-in. I intend to play and review as many LEGO games as I am able. I hear the two LEGO Superhero games are superior.

Unfortunately that's just about every modern writer. They're all from similar backgrounds; well off, upper-middle class privileged, immature, adult children who've never really had to struggle or fight through life and so don't have their own life experience to count on, so they just rehash old story tropes over and over because that's all they've known.

@DB-sd3cw using tropes isn't necessarily a bad thing. They exist for a reason and are a great way to communicate an idea to your audience. I think that what a lot of modern writing, particularly for games and films, is that there is that spectacle is prioritised over character. Warcraft was at its heart a story about characters, and that's why so many people connected with the franchise but by Shadowlands, Warcraft was a few expansions deep into spectacle over characters. I think a big part of this was that after Wrath, all the loose ends from the Warcraft games were wrapped up and they had to start crafting new stories, but that comes at the cost of set up and character.

@@FuthorcGaming think we're discussing past one another

Huh? What? That 10,000 years old blind beta night elf story isn’t done yet?

@t0m653 not as long as he is alive hahaha

@@Anachronos97 I mean would you rather be him or die bro? I’ll choose death over him any day 😂

@@t0m653 who said anything about wanting to be him ? 🤨

Yeah. I always thought Malfurion was an hypocrite and Illidan was a dick but at least he was an honest Dick

Walter White does start out as an anti-hero and very sympathetic character, doing what he does to provide for his family once he's gone, but he VERY quickly becomes the Villain because deep down he's not a very nice person. I used him to demonstrate anti-heros in modern TV because a lot of people consider him an anti-hero. Arthas is in a different position. I used Christie Goldens Rise of the Lich King novel as it retraces the events of Warcraft 3 and fleshes out Arthas a lot. I'd recommend it. It's a good read. Deep down, Arthas is a nice person. He wants to do right by his people and be a good paladin and good leader. He is somewhat rebellious and confident in his power, but he has entirely good intentions and, by all accounts, is a well loved and respected paladin and prince. Arthas's desire to protect his people at any cost, to an obsessive degree, is what motivates him to do what he does. He shifts from being clearly good, to morally-grey with his actions that are questionable but are motivated by the desire to protect his his people, before turning to be truly evil when he takes up Frostmourne and fully submits to the Lich Kings will. Stratholme can be debated either way, plagued grain has been distrubuted through the city, you don't know how long you have until people turn, how many people have been infected, if you can even tell before they turn, or if you have enough time for reinforcements or those with the skills to quickly test people to arrive and help. Stratholme is Warcrafts trolley problem. Do you cull Stratholme to prevent the deaths of many, many more when the plague spreads further?

@@FuthorcGaming I guess maybe if more groundwork had been laid showing Stratholme's undead situation was somehow unavoidable and definitely going to infect 99% or more of the town? With a lot of scenarios like that, the writers do a good job of showing that in the particular context, the action was reasonable (and sometimes they go as far as actually showing the further harm was avoided by taking the brutal measure). I don't remember that being true of Warcraft 3's Stratholme storyline, but admittedly it's been a while since I played the War3 campaign. I just remember thinking he was an absolutely horrible person -- and I thought that as someone who often sees the rational "algebra" to harsh 'greater good' decisions like that. They could've played that plot point as him trying to save whoever he could, but genuinely being too late to save a single person. Or they could've shown some island nation where one single town being infected resulted in an unstoppable spread that swarmed the entire army, despite that nation having a strong military for its size. There are quite a few ways they could've done that story better. But instead he just very quickly decides to raze the town and lock people in, almost certainly killing uninfected people who didn't deserve it. Basically they could've stepped into it a lot better than they did.

Thanks dude 😀

Thanks! I really think video games can be just as powerful, if not more powerful, than other forms of media. It really is a powerful art form, and Arthas's journey is a powerful one, and the fact that fans are still so invested in his character after all this time just goes to show it

Wow! Thanks for the feedback! I'm just glad I finally got the video out, it's one of those ideas that's just been rumbling around my head for a while!

Thanks for pointing that out! You are 100% correct. Can't beleive I missed that! 😂

It was such a bait & switch, preying on players' desire to see his character again. Anything would have been better than that.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
