Bugsnax (2020)
We are whatever we eat!
Bugsnax is such a good game. Every moment is so engrossing and I played for hours at a time just figuring out novel ways to try and catch Bugsnax.
The characters are all interesting and 3-dimensional. Each one has 3 or 4 quests that reveal a new aspect of their personality or their conflict with another character.
It's fortunate that this game was announced during the PS5 games showcase so that millions could see it and perhaps be intrigued. If you've come across this review and wonder if you should try Bugsnax, you should.
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Just see it
This movie is incredible in every way. I wasn't familiar with the source material going in but I still felt engrossed and never confused at all. Let's look at what this movie does well:
World-building - It's impressive how much character they manage to pack into this distant future. The movie would be worse off without this astounding attention to detail.
Leads - Everyone has great acting and charisma in this movie. Alita is very inspiring and super capable. I love how she demonstrates integrity and defends her ideals.
VFX - The special effects in this movie are state-of-the-art. I don't think anything looked silly or unfinished. The way the city and characters were brought to life indicates that the team behind the VFX had a mastery of their craft.
Story - This is a story all about a humanity in decline. It is heart-wrenching to think about how devastating the war that causes a ruined earth would have to be. Alita's story is about pushing forward and facing evil in such a dark world.
I will be thinking about this movie for a long time. I recommend it to everyone.
