I tried to get into it but my main annoyance was the excessive clutter seen during load-out and some other parts. But beyond that, most of the moments were really interesting. I want to pick it up again and move to its sequel: On The Beach.
Games | Action, Sci-Fi
A comically intense, heavy power fantasy solo! A sad world full of self-serious characters but the campaign delivers pure spectacle battling massive swarms with crunchy melee and heavy gunfire. Good campaign but repetitive boss fights but you can conquer the carnage in interesting ways.
Games | Action
An epic trilogy taking you through Lara’s growth from fearful to fearless with gritty survival action, smooth gameplay and clever tomb puzzles! I felt the combat loops got a bit repetitive into the trilogy, but the sense of adventure never dropped. It’s still excellent to play today!
Games | Action
A visual feast with a well-crafted story of Jin’s struggle between honour and survival! I really liked the painterly tribute and visual atmosphere in different areas. I just found the softer measured tone of characters, especially Jin, in the English audio to be a better fit.

Incredible game! The neon dystopia of Night City with an amazing story and excellent fluid gameplay. One of gaming industry’s most notable comeback stories of a seriously rocky launch and turning it around into one of the most stable and stunning worlds.

A glorious finale for a treasure hunter that takes you on a hunt across such diverse gorgeous landscapes after a pirate fortune, blending cinematic set pieces with themes of letting go.

An exquisitely polished sequel that hooks you from its starting moments itself with a big visual leap in the vibrant wilds and even bigger machines! Aloy’s world journey continues and the story expands even more nicely with new places. Truly built for big screen 4K!
Games | Action, Sci-Fi
Will we get something like this again? This is one of the very best solo FPS gameplay experiences! Expansive landscapes vs tight halls and interesting mechanics! Sound design and music fit the excellent campaign story so well! Probably one of the very few reasons to get a Xbox X?

The legendary campaign, interesting puzzles, iconic characters, tense moments - so many things come together - in excellent detail!

A quick journey of creating 1 website, 2 native mobile apps, 1,000+ commits, 330+ recorded AI mistakes with 0 prior experience. This is as much a learning experience as a record of keeping things honest.

I’m finally making time to read this book. While it challenges the pessimistic narrative that the world is growing more violent, my goal is also to observe how a master researcher structures massive global datasets into a cohesive narrative.
Books | Science
Getting ready to read this book to ground myself in physical realities. I want to see how Vaclav Smil synthesises agronomy and economics to explain the hidden complexities of food production, without the political noise.
Books | Science, History
Where 'How to Feed the World' focuses on one survival pillar, this book by Vaclav Smil zooms out to energy and economics. I want to read this demanding book to better understand the macro-systems driving human progress.
Movies | Action
Phenomenal live-action adaptation with jaw-dropping, fast-paced sword choreography! Takeru Satoh’s acting is really good as Kenshin with Tatsuya Fujiwara shining as ruthless Shishio. Runtime gets a bit lengthy across films, but the action totally delivers. Watch the whole franchise on a big screen!

An exquisitely polished sequel that hooks you from its starting moments itself with a big visual leap in the vibrant wilds and even bigger machines! Aloy’s world journey continues and the story expands even more nicely with new places. Truly built for big screen 4K!
TV Shows | Thriller
A gorgeously twisted visual feast with excellent acting and story! The dreamlike atmosphere is really well-shot. It gets intensely graphic and psychological, but the artistry is really good. Watch it on a good TV!
Movies | Action, Drama
What a powerhouse balancing raw human grief with true kaiju dread showing sincerity in much of its choices! And those effects! Godzilla shown as a true beastly horror unlike the American movies. Watch it in 4K with great speakers!
Movies | Thriller, Drama
A really well-made movie with a raw docu-drama feel and wonderfully realistic performances from everyone. सभी साज़िशकर्ताओं को ध्यान में रखना और पूरी कहानी को लगातार समझना थोड़ा मुश्किल लगता है। लेकिन फिर भी, सबसे बेहतरीन फिल्मों में से एक।
Movies | Comedy
Energetic movie! It is a chaotic mix of yakuza comedy and guerrilla cinema. It has some shock value through violence but many of the scenes are well done!
TV Shows | Action, Drama
It feels more like a story between two main and a few more characters. When it does want to show itself as a survival series, it feels rushed somehow. But maybe that’s because the other good parts are very well done, with excellent acting!
Movies | Anime
Unique!! Gorgeously detailed hand-drawn animation and enchanting atmospheres like the bathhouse world! The bizarre spirit rules and dreamlike logic might feel a bit too much, but every oddity feels meaningful in Chihiro's journey. Definitely watch it with the original Japanese audio!
TV Shows | Drama, Comedy
Vince Gilligan delivers another ride with a great cast shining in fine acting! The eerie concept of a polite takeover is fresh. The pacing starts a bit slow, but the dark comedy pays off.
TV Shows | Action, Sci-Fi
Wonderfully grounded with gritty tension and outstanding writing! Diego Luna and the entire ensemble make the slow-burn rebellion feel dangerous. The early episodes take time to build, but the payoff is incredible.
TV Shows | Thriller
Why did they not continue this show?! Excellent acting, story and tension in a cat-and-mouse hunt that tracks both a serial killer’s double life and a cool detective’s pursuit. Season three slows down considerably, but the first two are pure thrillers.
TV Shows | Comedy
Hilarious British sitcom with chaotic energy and endlessly quotable banter! The basement trio and characters like Douglas and Richmond make even ridiculous setups work so well. I wish there was less laugh soundtrack, but it doesn’t stop being funny.
TV Shows | Thriller
I haven't watched S3-S4 but season one is still television at its finest with unmatched packaging and southern gothic dread! Season two gets messy and convoluted, but the gritty noir mood still works. Watch the first season with good headphones!
TV Shows | Drama
I found Shōgun to be very well-made and wonderfully detailed! The characters, acting, dialogue and political scheming are built up with patience. Best to watch on a big screen because you will need subtitles.
TV Shows | Thriller
Not usually available on most platforms. It is visually striking with hyper-saturated colours, conspiracy dread, and chaotic energy! The display of violence is discomforting for sure.
