Personal account of the guy that runs Just Another Game Review @jagreview.com Posting almost exclusively about video games in a desperate attempt to get my Discover feed to do the same (it's not working, someone please help me).

Big thanks to @bimbo.city for gifting me this all the way back for last Christmas and calling it "the bet game of 2025" (yes you spelled it wrong, I still have the email). I still can't say for certain if it's the bet, but it's certainly one of the best.

Surprise, I'm not dead, just caught up with life and a new hobby (and possibly crippled by undiagnosed ADHD). Big thanks to @leik.games for the game code, and a huge apology for taking so long to actually review it due to a two-week vacation followed by another week of exhaustion and illness, lmao.

I'm watching maybe a dozen players bickering in MapleStory Idle's world chat, and I've gotta get this off my chest: letting players broadcast messages to every other player online might be the single biggest mistake of MMO game design, especially if you can't mute that particular message channel.

I crawled out of my hole to play Battlefield 6. I should have stayed in the hole. It sucks. It's worse than living in the hole. It made me miss the dark, cold hole. Don't play it. It is bad. I wrote a review of it for @jagreview.com. You can read the full review here: jagreview.com/2025/11/14/r...

I put off playing this game for way too long, but it ended up being the perfect way to spend a not-so-scary Halloween night (yes I know I'm posting this in like mid-November, I'm slow, don't judge me).

"Minor complaints aside, My Friendly Neighborhood was just about everything I could’ve asked for when I set out to play a beginner-friendly survival horror game." - @michael.jagreview.com Read the full review here: jagreview.com/2025/11/09/r...

I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

Three Steam achievements for clearing the game My Friendly Neighborhood with an A rank, an S rank, and an S rank on normal or harder difficulty respectively. The icons next to each achievement spell the word "ass".

Summoner is the best class in Terraria. You get to spawn a bunch of little goobers to fight for you while you smack enemies from a distance with a whip that annoys every player of the vicinity with the sound it makes. I will not stop playing this class in every run of this game.

Okay so life got in the way and I was VERY late to finishing this write-up, but it's here now. This was at the top of my most anticipated games list ever since I played one of its old demos a few years back, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience the full thing.
