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.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Microreview – 20/20!
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has now established itself as my personal favorite of the series. The graphics are fantastic and the music is beautiful, but the story and the relatable characters are what really struck a chord in me. The adventure is still there, with journals to consult and puzzles to solve, but they removed the supernatural element that was present in the first three games, and I appreciated it more.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Microreview – 20/20!
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has a slightly different tone and feel than it’s predecessors, but I still found it to be completely enjoyable and well done. I will say that the horse to convoy level was one of my favorite sequences I think I’ve ever played in any game, ever.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Microreview – 20/20!
Where Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune set an exceptional stage for the series, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves only made it greater. A different country, a different lost city (that I personally felt more appealing than the last), but still full of action, romance, spectacular archaeological finds and just the right amount of supernatural material.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Microreview – 20/20!
I have a fascination with starting a series of games that I’ve never played before at the beginning and working my way to the most recent. Though slightly older, this game caught and held my attention from start to finish. I really felt like I was immersed in a modern day Indiana Jones, with action, romance, spectacular archaeological finds and just the right amount of supernatural.

I came up with the idea for microreviews after trying my hand at the traditional longwinded method of game reviewing and realizing that I myself have never fully read a whole game review. Have you? The visuals catch my eye and then I skim for the bits of information that interest me and I leave the rest alone.
Solution: I play games, I take screenshots, and I provide basic information on the game with a rating out of 20 points tallied up from four different categories; Fun factor, gameplay, sound and visual style. Although I will confess that some of the screenshots may not be my own based on whether I was able to capture while playing.
Of course, I love discussing games. So if you’d like to start a conversation about any game I’ve played and posted a microreview for, please don’t hesitate to leave me a comment!
My first microreview on Uncharted: Drakes Fortune will post next Tuesday, May 24th.
