Welcome to my new blog!

The Middleman's Opinion

 Hello there! I wanted to formerly introduce myself and what this blog is all about! For starters my name is Brandon, I'm 23 years old and I've been gaming since I was 4 years old. I have a deep love for all genre's of gaming. AAA and Indie. Here you will find written game reviews and critiques for all things gaming! I solemnly swear to always be fair to the games I critique and to never review a game I haven't at least completed once. I've grown tired of seeing people rush to get their reviews out rather than take their time with their games for more fair reviews but most importantly for the integrity of the passion. 

You'll find my social links down below, I am going to stream all games I critique (Unless under NDA) and then upload YouTube videos for video showcasing reviews mixed in with a splash of my twitch clips when applicable.

Tron Identity: A Fun Visual Novel That's Too Short

  The Middleman's Opinion Presents: Tron Identity: A Fun Visual Novel That's Too Short   The Good: Tron Identity is a unique noir-style crime investigation game that takes place in the Tron universe. It's a soft-sequel to Tron Legacy in the sense that it takes place sometime after the events of the current movies. Possibly as a prelude to the new Tron movie coming out sometime soon, Tron: Ares.  What makes this game so fun is that the dialogue is crisp and grounded in realism. The conversations truly captures that Tron itch I've been longing for so many years. Not to mention the art-style is nothing short of amazing! It even has some nice lore tid-bits through the in-game codex system.  Overall the story itself is rather good and it even has twists and turns for certain characters that you need to watch out for. My playthrough I only ever killed one person and they were kind of asking for it to be honest. Once you figure out the end game of the story and realize what ac

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Review! (PS5, No Major Spoilers)

  The Middleman's Opinion Presents: Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Review! (PS5, No Major Spoilers) Performance: Considering the game has had most of its criticism focused on the performance, I decided to discuss this first. It's no shock at this point that a lot of AAA games are releasing in broken PC ports and it's very sad to see. The PC performance leaves a lot to be desired and needs a lot of work. On PS5 however the performance is fairly inconsistent but at the least playable. Most of the time you will be at around 45-50fps, mainly in the open planetary areas such as free roam on your second planet, or in scenes where there's a lot of effects happening at once such as the tutorial levels. EA & Respawn have came out and stated there will be many patches in the coming weeks to fix these issues so it's all we have to go on. In the more linear and smaller more closed off areas run at a steady 60fps without any issues. Fortunately PS5 doesn't seem to suffer from

I'm returning soon! - 3/26/2024

 It's been awhile.. I've been gone for quite awhile. I've been focusing hard on my mental health (and also a bit lazy) so I'm planning on making my return soon. I have a few games I want to do reviews on that I've played recently and do some written guides for as well. I've been playing A LOT of Helldivers 2 recently along with Bloodborne. So expect some guides for those. I've also been playing a lot of the newer releases from this year and will have reviews out for them soon. I'm also playing through a bunch of older games and plan on doing reviews for those as well. Such as the Batman Arkham Trilogy.  I want to talk on some politics in the gaming industry too at some point. Such as Sweet Baby Inc at some point in the near future. Point is, I will be returning here soon. I've already drafted a review of a very recent game, some of you might of heard of it. Tootles!
