Fire Emblem Three Houses Revisited - 7 Years Later

Friends, it has been a long time. A long time since my last blog post, and a long time since I talked about Fire Emblem Three Houses. Yet, with the release of its successor: Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave less than two weeks away, I have been thinking about the game. How could I not? It is my most talked about game on this blog, I made 8 (or 9) whole posts dedicated to it. It is possibly the game I have thought and discussed the most about. So why not, in the final hours of this title, before its successor comes out and causes us to rethink it, how about one final post of my thoughts on this game? What do I think of Three Houses, seven years after its release, now that the dust has settled for a long time?

To be honest, this post isn't a sudden heat of the moment thing due to Fortune's Weave. I've wanted to make a final Three Houses posts here for years, but I never got around to it. So let this be that final post, as I share thoughts I've had regarding this game for years. Please enjoy my farewell to Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

My Top 14 Games of 2025 - Part 3: The Special Games

Hello everyone, and welcome to the final part in my series of my favorite games I played in 2025. There are six games I have to talk about here and conclude what was a wonderful year of video games. So, without further ado, here are my favorite games I played in 2025.

My Top 14 Games of 2025 - Part 2: The Fun Games

Hello, and welcome to part 2 of my favorite games of 2025 ranking. Here, I will go over the games I actually managed to finish, and had a great time with. Let's get into it:

My Top 14 Games of 2025 - Part 1: The Unfinished Games

Hello and welcome, it's that time of year again, and I am here to look back and reflect on every video game I played this year. It has been quite the year, I ended up playing more games than I initially thought, so I have much to talk about. In fact, I have so much to say that I decided to separate this list into not two, but three parts. So, without further ado, please enjoy my ranking of the 14 games I played this year, in order of least favorite to favorite:

The Magic of Undertale & Deltarune

 

2025 has been a special year for Toby Fox fans like myself. It was the 10th anniversary for Undertale, and the for the occasion Mr. Fox and fangamer ran one of the best celebratory streams I've ever seen, complete with amazing merch, sets that changed, and new content and insight into this magical game. Everyone that loves the game to death like me came together to remember how special this game is.

As if that wasn't enough, 2025 also saw the release of not one but two chapters of the Undertale sequel Deltarune. There's a high chance this is the only time that happens, and with so much content to consume and discuss, the deltarune fandom has gone absolutely crazy since then, with tons of theories and speculation abound.

With these two events coalescing, it has been a magical time. Tons of younger newer gamers have played Undertale for the first time, allowing us to relive our first experiences. Additionally, many have decided to finally play all of Deltarune for the first time, providing further enjoyment in seeing how newcomers find not just the third and fourth chapters, but the first and second as well. It has been wonderful.

With all this going on, I cannot help but reflect on these games that mean so much to me. Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time, and I can see Deltarune being similar by the time it finishes. There's just something magical about the way Toby Fox makes games.

This got me thinking, what is it about these games that makes them so special? Why are they so beloved, what is at the core of this magic? In this analysis, I aim to propose my own theory, based off of a common piece of praise I have heard for these games, something I don't often hear when praising a game: that they make you want to create a game.

A Comparative Analysis of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Mario & Luigi Brothership

Recently I completed The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It was great, I had a lot more fun with it then I expected. But one thing that struck me was that while playing it, I kept feeling a sense of deja vu, and thoughts of Mario & Luigi: Brothership entered my head. After much thinking, I've decided it would be fun to try something new, and do a comparative analysis of the two games. The more I thought about it, the more I realized these games actually have a lot in common. So, for a fun spoiler free look at both titles, they're similarities and differences, and which one succeeds more, head on down below!

Same Brothers, New Adventure - Mario & Luigi Brothership Review

 

After 9 years of the series' absence, the Mario & Luigi series is back on the Switch with its sixth installment: Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It marks a thrilling conclusion to what could be called the revival of the Mario RPGs. Remakes of the beloved Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door showed a renewed interest in the series, and now, with a brand new Mario & Luigi title, it feels as if the Mario RPGs are back.

But this isn't about the Mario RPGs, this is about one game, and one game alone. After spending months playing through it, with a final playtime over 45 hours, I have completed Mario & Luigi Brothership. It has been wonderful to play a new Mario & Luigi, and I have had so many thoughts swirling through my mind since I first started it. So, let's get into it, how did this long awaited installment fare, how does it compare to previous titles, and what do I think of it overall? Head on below for my spoiler free review of the game:
