I really love Ender Lilies, a 2021 Soulslike Metroidvania about a small girl making her way through a rainy and fungus-infested postapocalyptic kingdom with the help of her monstrously mutated zombie companions. The art design is spectacular, the writing and translation are both fantastic, and the game is a lot of fun to play but doesn't drag on for too long.

The sequel, Ender Magnolia, was released in January, and I don't like it.

I don't want to say that Ender Magnolia isn't worth playing. Still, it feels uncomfortably bloated, and the artificial linearity of its progression doesn't have any benefits for its nonexistent story. Maybe I'm not upset that Ender Magnolia is "bad," necessarily; but rather, I'm disappointed that it doesn't meet its potential.

No hate here. This movie is fantastic. I don't even know how to describe it, save to say that it's what Wes Anderson would be like if he weren't so busy sucking his own dick. Highly recommended (and definitely not for children).

Now for some salt on Nosferatu, Wild Robot, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Despite me using this post to be a hater, I want to say that my actual opinion is that it would make me very happy to see more mediocre fantasy movies in the world.
