Lego Harry Potter: Years 1 – 4 Microreview – 18/20!
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1- 4 was a cute rendition of the Harry Potter world that I would love to experience on a bigger screen than my iPhone. The mobile controls were easy enough to learn, but I wasn’t interested in replaying each level over again once I’d learned new spells or earned new characters, to complete the game with 100%.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Microreview – 20/20!
This game is fantastic! I had my reservations about the first two games due to their grim and unappealing nature, but this game improved upon everything I had to complain about. Some may be daunted by the sheer size and length, but I promise it is fun to play and gorgeous to look at.

The Witcher 2: Assassin’s of Kings Microreview – 18/20!
Much, much better than the first game in more ways than one! There is still a very grim and corrupt overtone set within the plot that’s a theme among Witcher games, but the graphic design (primarily the lighting) lifted the atmosphere from oppressive to enjoyable.

The Witcher Microreview – 15/20!
One of the drawbacks of my fascination with playing games in chronological order is that sometimes, the first games are a little older and a little less enjoyable. I gleaned what story details I could, but the grim design and tone did not endear this game to me. It took me two tries before I could play all the way through and finish it.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power Microreview – 14/20
Lowest score I’ve given a game yet! Now I can see why this game received poor reviews! While the visuals were still as beautiful as ever, the game felt incredibly short and incomplete.

Transistor Microreview – 19/20
Transistor, like it’s predecessor Bastion, is a beautiful product of the developers at Supergiant Games who are trying new things with each new game release. This game features a science fiction theme with an exceptional new combat system. I removed one star from the “fun factor” category because I felt like there was something ultimately missing to make this game perfection. I myself can’t quite figure it out, but I know it didn’t hold all of the same magic for me that Bastion did.
Take all of this with a grain of salt, however, because this game is still an incredible experience!

Bastion Microreview – 20/20!
The art design, narration and music of Bastion, beautiful and unique to the SuperGiant name, caught and held my eye and ear. As much fun as I was had learning the story, then hacking and smashing through each level, the music really motivated me and I still listen to it outside of the game to this day.
