"Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" The Best Modern Star Wars Game?

   

    I'll admit I'm somewhat of a huge Star Wars fan. I get excited for every film release, watch every TV show, keep up with all the big games. Despite all of that, nothing prepared me for how deep and amazing this game is. It absolutely oozes with passion and when I say it is by a decent margin the best star wars game released in a while I really do mean that.

    What makes this game so excellent is the fact that it remains compelling while also feeling realistic, especially in terms of power levels. Rather than making this game feel as if it had no consequence, or having it be shoved in between one of the movies, this game focuses on an entirely new cast that the player bonds with over time. Not only does this ensure the game doesn't have to do any sort of janky timeline fudging to ensure that continuity is maintained, but it basically gives the developers an entirely new slate to work with, which they did.

    The way the game is able to be so smooth with the force and all the athletic abilities of Cal is exquisite. Never once did I feel that the game was very janky as everything felt fluid while also being a generally beautiful game. Moreover, I loved how it basically let you play with any sort of lightsaber style you wanted, the customization felt like it was ripped straight from The Force Unleashed series of games, but even more complex, which is apparently something I needed in my life. Lastly, the combat was just fun, while it didn't feel overpowered like in The Force Unleashed there was something so satisfying by being able to take out a whole squad of stormtroopers with ease near the end game.

    Overall, I would say that this game is easily one of my favourites with the only nitpick really being that I would have loved for the scope to be expanded. There were only really 4 worlds that were realized and even though they felt alive and large the reality of it was that the game felt oddly small at times. Like I understand the entire point of not having it all be explorable and simply having empty land it would have been cool to see this game on a grander scale with a larger budget.

Final Score: 90/100

    In conclusion, no other Star Wars game really even comes close to Fallen Order in my opinion(other than the complete saga, and I haven't played any of the Old Republic games). It just feels oozing with passion and it doesn't need the player to be huge star wars fan to keep the player coming back for more. I really do hope this is the start to better Star Wars games as its been quite some time since I've been optimistic about the franchise.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 1" What The Hell is This?

      Look, Danny Devito was the only reason this show had any sort of foothold in my mind. I kept on repeating I'm the trash man through many of my younger years, and frankly, after looking at the absurd number of seasons, I've always been wary of starting this sitcom. In fact, I had even given it a shot before this, but no Devito, oddly low quality and format for the time period, and just general wariness had kept me from going past the pilot. Not to mention, you watch the first episode and just ask yourself, is this kind of racist? Is it bad that I might be laughing at how completely racist these characters are? Anyways, I did manage to get past the first episode, and even managed to complete a season, and I can safely say that I now understand what people mean when they point to this show to prove that "cancel culture has not ruined comedy". I mean in only seven episodes, the show decides to deal with racism, gay people, abortion, cancer, underage drinking, a litt

"System Of A Down - Toxicity" Stick it Out for the Second Half

      I have in fact tried listening to this album before. I remember Anthony Fantano saying he really loved Toxicity , so I decided to put on Prison Song  at 12 pm, before promptly realizing this is exactly the kind of music I'd rather not listen to going to sleep, and that the song was really on the nose. Other than that I have absolutely no prior experience with System Of A Down other than Chop Suey!  which is a lovely song that Jeff Rosenstock continues to play before every single one of his shows (thankfully). So I suppose I won't pretend to deliberate further because I'm not particularly a big metalhead either, so I doubt any knowledge I might impart would be useful. So without further ado, my track-by-track review. Toxicity - System Of A Down Prison Song  - 55/100 While the chorus and the song in general goes pretty hard, I have to say just the whole delivery of the verses is really holding this song back. Well other than the fact that it's pretty much just them

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 2"

      To me, Danny Devito was always It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Not because I was actually a big fan of him, but rather because he's so unique, with the way he looks and his general stature, I was half expecting him to steal the show and constantly be doing these feats of physical comedy. But he didn't, and I suppose that's on me, after all everyone in this TV show is supposed to be an asshole, so did I really expect him to be any different? I guess I just have this perception of him as this nice old man from Matilda but honestly at first his appearance in this show was just really jarring to me. He frankly looks younger than you'd think he is, though I suppose that's because of the age of the show, and him being framed as the father to Dee and Dennis took some getting used to for me. In spite of all that, I'd say by the end of this season Devito had grown on me, and frankly him and his hijinks are a welcome addition to help round out this cast.
