Video Game Review: The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening Remake

 A few months ago I beat Zelda Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch. I hadn't really played much of the gameboy game so this was a fresh Zelda game experience for me. The game takes place outside of Hyrule, on Kohilint island. The game has nice characters and even enemies from Mario like Goombas and Thwomps. 

I love that the sword and shield were put to automatic weapons not item slots in the original. I found the overflow of the game to be really fun. You end up doing something then you get a key to one of the game's  eight dungeons. They had good puzzles too. The last 2 dungeons would of had me stumped for a long time if I didn't use a guide.

I haven't talked about the graphics. They are quite charming. Link is like a kid and he's pretty funny when he falls down a pit and hollers. The Graphical style of the game was really nice. I wouldn't mind seeing Oracle of Ages Oracle of Seasons done in this style.

The final boss fight was really tough but I managed to beat it without dying ( I came close though). All in all I found the boss fights and mini boss fights to be some of the most unique in all of Zelda. Theres Dodongo Snakes that you have to feed bombs. Theres A boxer that tries to punch you into oblivion. There's a Genie that throws fire balls at you. It really has some unique enemies.

I know this review is kinda short but honestly its not a long game. I'll have to play it again to get more unlockables. I thoroughly enjoyed my first playthrough of this game!


Verdict: 9.2/10

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
