KalJ95 (25 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Rayman Legends in Video Games
Apr 2, 2020
One of the definitive platformers. (3 more)
Animation and art is beautiful.
Catalogue of different levels is incredible
The soundtrack and sound design is on another level.
Exceptional platforming fun!
In early 2018, my love for the gaming genre was rediscovered with Hollow Knight. I've been spoilt with narrative marvels and open world paradises, that when I began Rayman Legends, I also rediscovered my childhood.
Everything about Rayman Legends is fun. From the bonkers and beautiful worlds that are so detailed and masterfully crafted, to the meticulously designed levels, which sometimes bounce along to popular songs, this game is the real deal. It deserves to be mentioned with the likes of Super Mario Bros. There, I said it.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Hanging with Daddy (Pride Pet Play 2023) in Books
Jun 26, 2023
Another brilliant story in the series
J. P. Sayle never lets me down when it comes to a quality story that pulls a reader into a world they wouldn't usually think about. Hanging with Daddy does just that, it's just outside the mainstream, standard kink but man does the koala thing pop it a few steps further on!
Austin and Gaines are adorable and sweet and totally right for each other but it wouldn't be worth reading without lots of thoughts and decisions.
A great afternoon read with a drink and snacks (my favourite way to read) or if you're traveling crack it open and lose yourself in the pages of a delicious story.

Lindsay (1706 KP) rated Anchor in the Storm (Waves of Freedom, #2) in Books
Aug 30, 2018 (Updated Apr 9, 2019)
Anchor in the Storm is sweet and lovely read. I felt like I was in the story and I felt bad for Lillian and Arch. What will they endure together?
Sarah Sundin put you through the emotions with all her stories, but this one had me with my emotions after a chapter. Lillian finds out her brother is missing after an attack on his Navy ship "Atwood".
Are you a fan of Historical Fiction or do you enjoy reading about World War Two? This book has that feel to it. I enjoy learning about how we got into World War 2.
Lillian wants to be a druggist and a female one at that. In an era that is still new to the world with female having jobs. We are at the beginning of World War Two. The story starts out December 7, 1942, or around that time.
Arch is on leave time from the Navy. He has to deal with his troubles. Will they find love together and find out they need to open up and trust god first.
Arch seems to annoy Lillian and Lillian needs to prove herself. When they get to Boston something is up with her new job. They're a lot of perceptions for sedatives. Could there be a drug ring? Arch is dealing with it though the Navy's end for he sees it going on with his men. Is there a romance in the air?

David McK (3245 KP) rated Raven: Blood Eye (Raven 1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The first in a planned trilogy, Raven: Blood Eye is set during the early days of the Viking incursion into what would later become known as England. Pretty much the entire novel centres around one such such fictional raid: before, during and after the said event, with the subseqent sequels planning to 'open out' the Viking world.
If I had to compare it to other similar novels I've read, I would probably have to place it somewhere in the gap between Bernard Cornwell's (an author, incidentally, who Giles Kristian acknowledges as being part of his inspiration) series on Alfred the Great and Tim Severin's Viking books: not quite as polished as the former, nor as scholarly as the latter. Still an enjoyable enough read, though!

Merissa (11800 KP) rated Tanner (Romance & Revolutions #1) in Books
Mar 4, 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it takes us along with Tanner and Shane. I loved how it was acknowledged that things had moved along too far in one direction, which wasn't benefitting anyone.
Tanner and Shane are such a cute couple. I loved how open-minded Shane was and even able to put his own little twist to things. Plus, his relationships with the other omegas was just a joy to read.
A brilliant introduction to this world and I really want to read more! Absolutely recommended by me.
* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

David McK (3245 KP) rated Ghost of Tsushima in Video Games
Jan 27, 2023
Sucker Punch's open-world game, set during the 13th century Mongol invasion of Japan, and in which the player takes on the role of the samurai Jin Sakai, who must go against the way of his ancestors and his training to stop said invasion.
Think Assassin's Creed (though you're not an assassin. Not that the later entries in that series had you as being one anyway ...), but without the whole Animus concept, or the underpinning Assassin/Templar conflict or the modern day elements.
It's also quite immersive with the Guiding Wind concept leading you to whatever location you had set, instead of cluttering up the screen with a HUD, and the story itself is well told.
Now to try out the Iki Island expansion ...

Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Fireflies in December in Books
May 10, 2018
It is always interesting to see the world through the innocence of a child. It is especially interesting when the subject matter we as adults don't always feel comfortable discussing.
Jessilyn and Gemma are best friends. The only problem with that is that Jessilyn is white and Gemma is black. Today not too many people would see a problem with that, but in the 1930's tha was a big problem. After Gemma parents are killed in a tragic accident, Jessilyn's parents decide to take in Gemma as their own. The are faced with lots of ridicule and hatred for their choice. The story is told through Jessilyn's eyes, and it will open everyone's eyes to why we should all see each other as people not as a race.

Standered Sims game
Feels too cartoonie. (1 more)
Feels too much like a step back
The Sims 4 offers the usual family simulation experience. However the game is much different to it's predecessor. Sims 3, Sims 4 is not an open world and to move to different sections of the neighborhood you have to endure a loading screen which can feel tedious after a while and really takes away from the whole experience..
The jobs also feel harder to progress in and for me the could be a decent thing to have as it stops the game from becomeing boring to easily..
All in all its not the worst game ever but in the sims franchise it's probably a bottom 3.. norrowly beating bust'em up and urban hights..
