lunar silver star story remastered review

     Lunar Silver Star Story Remastered is a great updated version of a classic originally released on the Sega Cd in the early 90s. 

     It's a very charming game and the characters are definitely the highlight of the game. They are so lovable, funny, quirky,  and likable. 

    The main character is Alex. He is a good-natured teenager who lives in Burg with his friends Luna and Remus and Alex's flying cat-like creature Nall.

     I don't talk about plot points much to have spoiler-free review but suffice it to say what starts as a simple adventure gradually escalates into an epic quest to save the world.

     Besides the great characters I also like the witty well-written dialogue.  NPCs often have interesting or funny things to say so it is worth talking to them.

    The music is unforgettable and there are even a few songs with lyrics and I think they are nice songs myself. Such a charming and lovely tunes are in this game.

    The gameplay might not stand out compared to other rpgs but it's fun and classic and pretty simple. The only complaint is that some players might find backtracking earlier in the game tedious but before long the tedium goes away for the most part as an item and spell is acquired that let's you warp to towns or escape dungeons.

    The graphics are good with a certain nostalgic charm but might be weakest point. I feel that they could have made the game look even better but the anime cutscenes are great.

    This game is appropriate,  in my opinion, for teens and older as it has crude humor,  some suggestive dialogue,  and alcohol references along with the mild fantasy violence you would expect to be in a jrpg.

     Overall,  I really love this game and its one of my favorites, especially the characters and story. It's great but not flawless as the graphics, I feel could be improved more but it is very minor complaint. I give it a 9.5 and if you like classic jrpgs I consider it a must-play.

Disney's Lady and the Tramp Review

     This beautiful and charming film,  Lady and the Tramp, is yet another absolute masterpiece.     In my opinion this might be the best dog-centric animated film of all time and is an amazingly fun and endearing time with charming characters especially the leads, the adorable and sweet Lady and the rambunctious yet good-hearted Tramp.      The spaghetti/ Bella Nota segment deserves special mention as it's absolutely iconic and heartwarming.       It is mostly family-friendly but there is a scene that briefly implies the death of a dog in the pound as one of the characters says the dog "is taking the long walk" which might be too upsetting to tender-hearted young children.       Overall,  this is one of Disney's most adorable,  heartwarming,  and frankly best films so far and another 10 out of 10.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Review

       Disney's original animated film Snow White is a stunning masterpiece, whimsical and fun, but with its share of darker moments. It is a timeless classic that is as enjoyable today as it was in 1937 when it first released in theaters. The dwarves are fun and funny and oozing with music and charm. Snow White is charming, sweet, and wholesome. It is movie for all ages young and old. I would give it 10 out of 10.

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame review

      Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the darkest, most emotional and heartfelt films they ever made and its an absolute masterpiece and in my opinion one of their very best.      As one would expect by now its obviously top notch both in the quality of its visuals and even more so in its soundtrack,  which is amazing and rivals Lion King and Beauty and the Beast in its sheer awesomeness.      But beyond that its a bittersweet and emotional drama with great characters. The earnest and kind-hearted Quasimodo is extremely loveable and this makes the audience even more sympathetic to his plight.     Esmerelda is such a bold, confident, and extraordinarily sweet woman and perhaps one of my favorite leading ladies in a Disney film.       Phoebus, the noble captain of the guard, is actually one of the funniest characters on the film with his dry sense of humor.      The gargoyles are funny and cha...
