I completely agree with the "finish a game before reviewing" sentiment. I would love to review the new tomodachi life game, but I simply just haven't been playing enough for me to reach the ending yet. Being extra critical is also something I find annoying, but on the bright side, reviewing games has forced me out my comfort zone and let me find the game series I love that I would've never found without my reviews!

New Monthly Silly issue out now! This month's issue features a dark, ominously surreal Roguelike for the Sega Saturn, a guest review of an exceptionally bad RPG on the original Game Boy, and a Yap Trap about my dislike of a certain genre that's become all too common lately, particularly among indie games.

Referencing the Yap Trap, I really agree with the sentiment that companies aren't experimenting anymore. The reason I incline to retro games to much is that they're so... unique! Some of my favourite game series like Rhythm Heaven and Katamari are my favourites because you can't find their gameplay-style almost anywhere else. Obviously I still love some modern games -- Mario Odyssey will always be my favourite...
...game of all time. But, I do wish game companies still TRIED to be innovative. And, no, improving console performance isn't innovation. Updated graphics were impressive 20 years ago, but now it's just a lazy marketing gimmick.
