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.

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.
