Originally published on Trevor Trove on July 3, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Baby Driver is an incredibly well-choreographed action/heist movie with some great central and supporting performances and arguably the best incorporation of a movie’s soundtrack into the film itself. The Story Baby Driver is the latest film from Edgar Wright and tells the storyContinue reading “Baby Driver Review”

Cars 2 Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on June 19, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Cars 2 is the pits. Get it? Like a pit stop. But seriously, don’t watch this movie. In honor of the recent Cars 3 release, I decided to sit down and watch Cars 2. A fan of Pixar since the original Toy Story,Continue reading “Cars 2 Review”
Wonder Woman Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on June 5, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Wonder Woman is a solid and fun movie. It’s got some flaws but it is anchored by a couple of great, likeable performances in Gal Gadot and Chris Pine and the good definitely outweighs the bad. A solid origin story for one ofContinue reading “Wonder Woman Review”
Baywatch Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on May 29, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Baywatch is a completely serviceable comedy. It doesn’t rely on any semblance of deep knowledge from the television shows that came before it and you can probably skip it in theaters and just wait until it comes to on-demand but it did itsContinue reading “Baywatch Review”
Persona 5 Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on May 28, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Persona 5 expands on nearly every idea from Persona 4 in bigger and better ways and absolutely oozes style. The game expertly balances its JRPG dungeon crawling and social simulation aspects with aplomb and kept me engaged throughout my 200 hundred hours overContinue reading “Persona 5 Review”
Super Rude Bear Resurrection Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on May 2, 2017 TL: DR(eview) – Super Rude Bear Resurrection is a brutal fast-paced platformer. But where other games might lean into the “git gud” mentality of a difficult learning curve, SRBR respects that the genre might not be for everyone but still invites players in with the hookContinue reading “Super Rude Bear Resurrection Review”
Night in the Woods Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on April 3, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Night in the Woods is a sometimes brutally personal story disguised by a charming design aesthetic. The characters are a special kind of flawed, making them (ironically, given their animal designs) more human than most other video game characters you’ll encounter, but theirContinue reading “Night in the Woods Review”
Death Squared Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on March 9, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Death Squared is a great little puzzle game, built with simple mechanics and best served when playing with others. Each level introduces new obstacles, switches up existing ones, or combines them in new and interesting ways requiring patience, teamwork, and communication. Nearly aContinue reading “Death Squared Review”
A Pixel Story Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on February 24, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – A Pixel Story manages to expertly recreate the feel of the games of a bygone era. A puzzle platformer that often requires incredibly precise movement, the game can be controller-throwingly frustrating one moment and fist-pumpingly wonderful the next. The game also features aContinue reading “A Pixel Story Review”
Dishonored Definitive Edition Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on February 17, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Dishonored is a great first-person action-adventure title with incredible level design. It provides players with a enjoyable set of tools to suit a variety of playthroughs but in the hypothetical scales of action versus stealth, the scales are a bit too tipped towardContinue reading “Dishonored Definitive Edition Review”
