Ollie SB (2282 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in Video Games
Feb 20, 2020 (Updated Feb 20, 2020)
Probably the best Star Wars game so far
There are so many great aspects of this game, mainly, the amazing lightsaber combat. Any Star Wars fan will have hoped to live the fantasy of owning their own lightsaber, and this game is as close as it gets. The combinations of fighting styles, from lightsaber to various force powers, are incredible.
The customisation options in this game are also impressive. You can customise the colour of your ship, droid, clothes, and most importantly, your lightsaber. There are various options for the saber, from the colour and style of the handle, to the colour of the blade.
Another impressive aspect of the game is the quality and depth of the story. Set a few years after the events of Episode III, it follows a young jedi named Cal, who is on the run from the Inquisitors who are hunting down any remaining jedi. The game features flashbacks to a younger Cal in training, which helps the player to learn new force powers. One negative I found was that some of the early missions in the story seem to drag slightly. There seems to be a lot of climbing and jumping between ledges, without much of the impressive action that features later in the game.
However, this a small negative in a very impressive game, and the tempo of the story does pick up later on. Reaching an amazing final mission, which (no spoilers) in my opinion features one of the best video game cut scenes I've seen.
I would highly recommend this game.

Cool miniatures (2 more)
Tons of content in the box
Good game mechanics
Time between turns in 4 player can drag at times. (1 more)
Set up is a process
Lots of fun
Fun dungeon crawler with tons of in box content to discover and unlock through in game achievements. Our group had a lot of fun when we played our first 2 campaigns. It is truly enjoyable to crack the seal on new things that havent been revealed.
The problems we have run into though are the amount of time it takes to play and the fact that you should have the same group each play through, this has been our issue and caused us to all have to wait due to our group not being able to carve out enough time to commit to our 3rd campaign.

I had never actually heard of Into the Woods until the movie so I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to it and I can't judge it by it comparison to the play.
I really liked the first half of the movie it was fun with catchy as heck music and since I have and will always love fairytales I was super excited watching it... But then it got to the halfway point and dear brother's Grimm... IT JUST KEPT GOING AND GOING AND GOING. Seriously one of the reasons I love fairytales so much is that they aren't the longest but damn this movie just drag on then I thought it was over but nope. So I kind of just zoned out near the end.

If you're like me and feel rude not talking to the driver but also suffer crippling social anxiety, you can offer a tip to let them know that the silence was just what you wanted (3 more)
During off-peak times it is almost always cheaper than ordering a taxi
If the GPS locates to the wrong house, you can just drag and drop the blue pin to your location
Sometimes a beat up ford Mondeo will be your chariot, but randomly, at 3 in the morning, a Mercedes might ferry you home.
Great for when you're too drunk to remember where you are
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers in Books

What to say... What to say...
I read this book for my book club. Mary Roach is an interesting writer that has always intrigued me. I was excited to read one of her books, but I will admit this is the one book that held no interest to me. The information in this book was fascinating but unfortunately it was a subject line that didn't hold my interest well.
With all of that said, I did rate this book high. It was extremely well researched and I enjoyed it for the most part. Mary Roach has a way to drag you (kick & screaming) into the book even when it is a subject line that you don't like.
All in all, this was well researched, with a lot of not so pretty details.
