Revisiting Kingdom Hearts In 2024

Kingdom Hearts is a special series to me. Not only has it played a key role in molding me into the person I am today, but it’s also been a constant source of comfort for me throughout my life. With that in mind, I decided to go back to six key games from the franchise, some of which I haven’t played in a long time, in a series I call Revisiting Kingdom Hearts to see what I think of them in the year 2024. Have my feelings changed about each game over the years? Am I able to take away anything new from them that I didn’t before? How does any one game compare to the rest of the series? These are the kinds of questions I’ll be asking myself as I work my way through the franchise. With all that said, there’s no better place to start than with the very first entry.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is The Blueprint For A Final Fantasy X Remake

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an amazing game that I can’t get enough of, but one thing that I couldn’t help but think about the whole time I played it was how much it makes me want a Final Fantasy X remake of the same scale. I’ve talked about a potential remake of one of the series’ best games before, and now after playing Rebirth, I believe that its open world, its combat, and the amount of depth it gives its characters should serve as the blueprint for what I would love to see from a remake of Final Fantasy X.

My 11 Most Anticipated Games of 2024

There are a lot of great games set to release in 2024 and I’m excited for a lot of them. If I was to make a list of them all, this post would be extremely long, so I’m trimming it down to the 11 that I’m anticipating the most in 2024. Most of them are big games, some of them are small games, and many of them don’t have solid release dates. What they all have in common though is a perceived level of quality that can’t be denied. With that said, let’s get into it.

Xbox Should Have A Great 2024

Last year was pretty great for Xbox overall and 2024 is looking like it’ll be just as good, if not better. Between great games slated for release this year, new potential additions to Game Pass from Activision Blizzard’s back catalog, and a hardware refresh in the second half of the year, there’s a lot to be excited about so long as Xbox maintains this momentum. I talk about it all in today’s video.

The Problem With The Game Awards

The Game Awards claims to be a show that’s about celebrating and honoring games and the people who make them, but this year’s show made it abundantly clear that the show is not what it claims to be about. I share my thoughts on this year’s disappointing and frustrating event in my latest video.

Starfield Impressions

  • Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
  • Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
  • Available On: Xbox Series X|S, PC
  • Played On: Xbox Series X

Ever since its announcement in 2018, Starfield has been one of my most anticipated games. A brand new IP from Bethesda Game Studios that brings their classic brand of RPGs into outer space was all I needed to hear to be on board with it, and now that it’s here I’ve been trying to sink as much time into it as I possibly can. I’ve only managed to log a solid 25 hours into this massive new adventure and so far I’m enjoying my journey across the stars. That said, there are some key aspects that have left me disappointed.
