Remnant II (2023)
Very fun with friends
If Remnant 2 were a single-player game, or if I didn't have 2 other friends to play with, this game is closer to a 7 or 8/10. But the gameplay is very enjoyable, the story is just enough to make the gameplay make sense, the customization is very fun, and the world design is top tier. The design of the various different worlds to explore, the boss designs, the enemy designs, the many, MANY secrets, are all 10/10.
The story is a bit lackluster, and there are significant chunks of the game with absolutely no character interaction with NPCs, but the NPCs have just enough character to be likeable and occasionally interesting.
Get a couple friends and explore. Very fun game.
Dunkirk (2017)
Misunderstood Masterpiece
Christopher Nolan has up to this point never made a bad movie. Some of them aren't great(Insomnia), but none of them are reprehensible atrocities. The people who hated or didn't like Dunkirk wanted to see something moving and character driven like Saving Private Ryan or any of the other great WW2 movies out there. Nolan chose to make the audience a character in this film rather than have the audience follow around a solitary character in which we place our empathy. To the haters of this film: I understand, but I certainly don't agree. In my opinion, this film should FINALLY get Nolan a well deserved Oscar nomination for Best Director, and depending on the competition that remains to be seen, he might very well deserve to win in that category.
