A website where I review whatever the hell I feel like reviewing. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/ Mon, 02 Mar 2026 09:40:00 AEDT 60 Daikatana is one of the most infamously awful games of all time, but did you know that it receiveed a Game Boy Color port that is, in fact, a thousand times better (whilst still not being *that* good?). And no, it did not make me John Romero's bitch. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/daikatanagbc Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:45:00 AEDT Monster Hunter has become a monstrous franchise beyond any expectations - and even if it's garbed in infamy (and some odd controls), it's not hard to see, considering how solid and unique it's initial offering was. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/monsterhunterg Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:30:00 AEDT All the beautiful, evocotive nostalgia Dragon Ruins conveys can't save it from the near total lack of mechanical depth it has on display. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/dragonruins Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:50:00 AEDT Monster Hunter has grown from a fairly niche series, to one of the biggest jugganauts coming out of Japan. But despite how much prettier, varied, and expansive the modern entries of the series have grown... I don't think anything will ever top what might be the 3DS's magnum opus. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/monsterhunter4u Sun, 03 May 2026 16:27:00 AEDT Dynasty Warriors is in my lifeblood, and merging that with the strategy genre should be a match made in heaven for me... but the concession made here to make Godseekers what is turns this game into a Strategy-RPG for no-one. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/godseekers Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:30:00 AEDT There are games that you play as a kid that just worm themselves into your brain, pretty much defining the genre for you. Well, when it comes to the RTS AND the city builder genres, no game defines it better for me than Majesty Gold, perhaps the most 'immersive' RTS I've ever played. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/majestygold Wed, 24 Mar 2026 14:30:00 AEDT Pokemon is the biggest franchise on earth. So while Legends Z/A does a lot of great stuff to advance the series - particuarly in it's evolutions in battling, and a wonderful story and cast of characters to go with it - sometimes it feels like it's creators are in active conflict with their golden goose. https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Reviews/legendsza Sat, 07 Mar 2026 14:30:00 AEDT The second entry in my mini-review collection of games I don't want to dedicate a full review to! This time, I'm taking a look at LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Survival Kids (GBC) and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate! https://throughaconsoledarkly.neocities.org/Throughmybacklogslowly/throughmybacklogslowly2 Mon, 02 Mar 2026 09:40:00 AEDT
